The writer should realise that this matter is between Buganda and UPC. Its not Acholi Vs Buganda. UPC was ruling and its armed wing\ army was UNLA whose majority happened to be Acholi. It was the policy of UPC to carry out the massacre described in the article, not Acholi's policy. It was the policy of the UPC piliticians their armed wing, not the ordinary Acholis. As I've always said, the dialog should be between Baganda leaders and UPC.

...................................................... Despite all of these mitigating factors, many Ugandans hold mainly the Acholi responsible for the Luwero atrocities because of the high proportion of Acholis in the armed forces at that time. While almost all Acholis deny such responsibility, a few Acholi elders nonetheless assert that the time has come for a dialogue with Baganda leaders, with the aim of reconciling what had occurred there. In a way which way difficult to pinpoint, they believe such a dialogue might help create conditions to end the current war in Acholi, even though the present conflict does not appear to directly involve the Baganda people. A few Acholi were said to believe that the spirits of some Luwero victims � for example, of a pregnant Baganda woman who was killed and mutilated in a particularly unspeakable way � are exacting revenge by causing or prolonging the current Acholi war.
