I think it is bigger than that, I think the individual was sentenced for he
is a Northerner, apparently sources are telling us that he is already dead.
For you can not help but wonder why all attacks that have happened in Uganda
no body has been killed. Attacks happened in kitcwamba college and many
students were killed, who was killed that time? is it because the commanders
were Baganda and Westerners? For a long time we have seen a huge numbers of
Uganda children kidnapped and retained by NRA, so who was guarding them
before they were attacked? Have we ever got any one arrested and shot? Or it
is because they were all Baganda and Westerner commanders? Why was this
Ugandan murdered by NRM, was it due to his failure of full-fillment of duty
or it was due to his being a Northerner?
Good After noon.
