I thought the man said end of March 2003, would be the dead line beyond which the so called rebels would no longer exist.
WE were also told that UPDF was waiting for the grass to dry in order to finish KONY.
Now Mzee wakazi is telling us that there is no dead line to finish KONY..... Implying that the war in northern Uganda would continue indefinitely until God knows when!
In the meantime, tens of thousand of Acholi civilians..and perhaps thousands of UPDF troops will have to suffer the consequences of Museveni's wars.(as in Kurrudi in Action).Millions more of American Foerign AID will have to be spent fighting KONY instead of using the money to help the people of Uganda.
Muzee wakazi tells us that he has imported some "Heavy Military Armaments" which he will use against KONY.
As if to say Museveni has not used "Heavy Armament" before to fight the so called KONY rebels. Grapevine news has it that Museveni's armaments( at least those which were not Junk helicopters or tanks,Mambas e.t.c) were burnt deep inside Sudan.
Observers wonder as to why Yoweri Kaguta Museveni cannot be upfront with the people of Uganda and just tell us that he simply cannot contain the so called KONY rebels even after fighting the rebels for 17 years.
Netters, don't you find it rather strange that British praised military genius cannot deaf mere rebels who smere themselves with peanut butter?
'No Kony deadline'
By Badru D. Mulumba
President Yoweri Museveni has said there is no deadline for routing rebel leader Joseph Kony.
A journalist had asked the president when the war would end so that children in northern Uganda can study in peace.
"There are some countries with no serious external sponsor [of rebels] yet it has taken them so long to solve the problem [of insurgency]," Museveni told a press conference at the State House, Friday.
"This fight is not a joke. America went to Afghanistan; they went to the satellite to see where Osama bin Laden is. Did they get him? Where is bin Laden?" Museveni asked.
According the president, however, Uganda now has the capacity to end the rebellion.
President Museveni's latest statement signals a break from the past. The president previously set what were interpreted as deadlines for ending the northern rebellion.
Museveni said he had spent 30 years fighting dictatorship and was happy to continue fighting.
He said most of Uganda was now peaceful and liberated.
He said that the problem in Acholi was caused by defeated 'dictators', routed from the rest of the country.
He also cited Sudan that was backing the rebellion.
"We are stronger than ever before. Anyone, who links up with these [LRA], we will fight them," he said.
Museveni said government plans to have at least one government aided secondary school in every sub-county to absorb UPE (universal primary education) 'graduates'.
Government also plans to reduce pupil to teacher ratio; from 55 pupils to one teacher, to 52 pupils by the end of this financial year, he said.
