ugnet_: Hunger's Frontline in North Uganda - Pictures

[Mulindwa Edward]

Netters It is very sad that we have Ugandans lining for food. Having stated that, I can not help but wonder why Ugandans are lining up for food. 1) Is Uganda  not a fertile country? 2) Did Uganda miss any rain season? 3) Did Ugandans grow food but the season as bad? 4) This Ugandans are today hungry and lining up for food, are they and their government worried about it? 5) If yes to 4, what re they doing about it and if no to 4 do Ugandans expect to live on donor food for life? 6) When I was a kid at that age, I was trained to use my hands and get food from the garden, these kids are trained to line for food. What is the long term effect that NRM has brought to these kids and the future of Uganda?   Why are Ugandans lining up for food?

"All the children have had bad experiences with the LRA," says Dora Ala, who runs the centre. "The children are forced to kill, to load guns... Girls are given to the LRA commanders. I have seen children with bullet wounds, in critical conditions, with limbs off."
