Subsequent anti-LRA development in Teso and Lango reveals a lot of black holes:
Firstly, it tells us a lot about support for (or lack of) the LRA.
There has been some paradoxical, though distorted, argument by certain elements (including some PPC representatives) that the LRA brutality was despite all, warranted.
I believe, we now see clear evidence on the contrary. We now see people in Lango and Teso who stand up to say no amount of political madness is worth the blood of their commonality. The massage is sound and clear: Don�t mess with our people!
So what consensus does the LRA have?
Secondly, we can no longer blink to the fact that Acoli community leadership has been a stumbling block. The contrast in mentality, approach and structure tells a lot. In Lango for example, The Won Nyaci or Rwot Nyaci himself plus the youth leaders (ref: Rupiny) leads the cohesive anti LRA campaign.
In Acoli there is no such rally. We have said it before; that in all organizations the toughest hurdle to jump is that from within. I think now it is clear that LRA atrocities in Acoli have persisted due to among others lack of unity from within (schism from within the community leadership).
Analogue with similar situations in other regions now transpire that fact that several people established before but got scourged for it.
I believe now we can no longer over look the fact that internal cleansing from within the peace vanguards is essential. We cannot have democrats, reactionaries, republicans, revolutionaries, socialists and god knows, all operating from the same platform. It should not be enough just to be an Acoli to involve in any Acoli endeavor. It has to be people who are committed and comply with the same ideal and approach.
Acoli-yaa itself is the death of Acoli?!
