I feel very sad about this harassing of the old man.
They have gone to the extent of using his shamba-boy against him to show him that he is sorrounded.
'Madman' Idi Amin had the decency of sending sugar, cooking oil etc... to Obote's folks.
Obote himself never raised a finger against bandit Museveni's parents.
It took Museveni to go up North and cut the throat of Obote's father - Mzee Opeta.
He even perfomed an indecency on the body by stripping it naked.
This pervasion of mu7 seems to have no end.
I dont think modern Africa has ever had an imperialist agent so demented.

Anne I am sorry to hear this disturbing news regarding your family. Guilty by association was never the law in Uganda. But I urge YOU to be strong for you, your party and most your family. You did not do anything to bring this on. The NRM authorities are to insecure. Hopefully, one day one of the parties in Uganda will save all Ugandans from the NRM illegal activities, torture and holocust. We are praying for your family and you, but stick to what you believe in. akintu --- Lutimba Matovu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Anne Mugisha father arrested > > By Alex B.
