Re: ugnet_: Ibingira on Obote's Secret Wars and Abuse of Office

[emmanuel musaazi]

Netters can we please raise the level of the discourse on this forum? 
Uganda's future is bigger than the Obotes and Amins of this world. People 
are wasting time defending the indefensible. The facts, whether we want to 
believe it or not are that Obote and Amin Presided over some of the most 
brutal times of Uganda's history and they are responsible for that. So those 
of you trying to defend their records, do it in vanity, 'cos the facts are 
there and they are overwhelming, even hitler did some good things for 
Germany but that does not exonerate him from the crimes that he was 
responsible for. What Uganda needs is a complete break from that nigtmarish 
past. For those of you clamouring for democracy, Uganda does not need 
"Obote" like democracy or "Amin" like democracy, what Uganda needs is a new 
dispensation, with new and positive ideas that will move the country 
forward. But what we keep getting on this forum is a continual defense of 
the past wrongs and this coming from those who claim they are for democracy, 
by association alone such people disqualify themselves. Can't some of you 
think beyond Obote and Amin? Is "Oboteism" and "Aminism" the begining and 
the end of your philosphy? These two leaders belong to the unfortunate past, 
it is time to move on.

As we who were young at those times

Did UPC come to power for individuals did everything possible to bring it 
to power, or because Ugandans elected it? For knowing the answer to that 
question, one can know the strength of Mwaami Ssemakula's statement, or its 
you know what!!

  “…. Whatever the case, nothing can alter the fact that Obote massacred 
Ugandans, just as did Idi Amin.

  For me this is a sufficient reason to do everything possible under the 
sun to ensure that the UPC never holds power again in Uganda as we know it 
today, for they'd do exactly the same thing Obote did the moment they step 
in the State House.”

  J Ssemakula



  I commend you for joining the rest of the peace loving Ugandans in 
ensuring that political party haters, the UPC with their autocracy 
tendencies, do not sniff at power again in this century.  I will also pass 
over the message to the grandchildren of my grandchildren. So they can tell 
the grandchildren of their grandchildren too!
