These are some of the facts the international
community must understand, that Uganda's case is a case one must follow very
closely. There has been a great accusation of how Konny kidnaps children, but
one must know how much Museveni and NRM used children in Luwero triangle, one
must know that National Resistance Movement started the Kadogo system in Uganda,
one must know that Kids are as well being used in Congo today, by the rebels who
are armed by again Uganda government.
So the question we must have today, was Konny
operating in Luwero triangle during Obote two government or Museveni? Is Konny
today operating in East Congo? Again the answer is No it is Museveni. We must be
able to follow this trend which has been going on following Museveni's foot
steps other wise Museveni is way ahead for every thing he does there is some one
to blame. This time it happens to be Konny.

Subject: ugnet_: Re: [Ugandacom] Kakoza
Mutale lured the children to UPDF military training Wing
There is Nothing at all surpising in Kakoza Mutale's
action as noted below.
The use of TRICKS in a move to recruit young
Kids into UPDF and later use the kids to fight Yoweri Museveni's wars in
Northern Uganda is NOT new.
Kakoza Mutale is well aware that if, in
fact, he were to tell the Acholi kidds the Truth; that they were
being recuited as soldiers in UPDF, the parents of those Acholi
kids ( .. for those who still have parents) would agree to have
their kidd join UPDF and die fighting in Museveni's wars. . ...and so
what does Mutale (as a good candidate of Con man Yoweri Museveni) do.?
..he too engages in "Kiyayeism" luring young unsuspecting
kids to join UPDF.. very sad indeed

Dear
all,
My attention has been drawn to information which were not very
accurate.Just
today me,Hon.Mao,Hon.Otto,Hon.OCULA,Hon.Santa
collected 11 children from
kampala central police station.These
children were lured by Major mutale who is
also a presidential
advisor to the President of Uganda that he was offering
scholarship
for them at his matembe institute of technology .On arrival, they
were told that the most important subject was military
science-therefore
military training began.These children were
ferried by the movement bus the
plitical symbol of the ruling
movement in Uganda.The children could not cope up
and decided to
leave.Major Mutale ordered that those with transport money would
be
droped at the buspark in kampala while those without money would be droped
at luwero-Gulu highway to walk their ways back home.It was on monday
that 12
children were droped at the buspark-11 boys then called me
and told me the
story and I directed them to the police station to
register a case.Today we
decided to hire a vehicle to take them back
to Acholiland against the wishes
and directive of Mutale to the
police.One girl had already been picked up by
her relatives in
kampala.
These children are aged between 13-18 and were either in
senior one or had
completed primary school,because of desperation
they were lured in the name of
scholarship.They told us that the
children are from the districts of
Gulu,Pader,Kitgum,Masindi,pALLISA,Iganga,and mbarara.They said there
were about
115 Acholi children who remained there plus other
children.This is an abuse and
grave violation of the rights of
children.We have taken up the matter and will
follow up the other
children.But we must praise the resilience of these 12
children and
this courage is our strength and hope!
We suspect that these
clandestine training is to prepare a paramilitary force
to help the
movement in the elections of 2006.My appeal to all is to highlight
the plight of these children which is symbolic of the vulnerability
of children
in war situation and those who live in absolute poverty
especially in nothern
Uganda.I would call for support interms of
school fees for secondary education
in the Acholi sub-region.
If any one needs the detail of these children;I will give on
request.
Thanks.
