I could be wrong on this, but if I'm not mistaken, the issue at hand was
whether it was the UPDF killing the people in the North or the Rebels
having/wearing UPDF uniforms. According to the eye witnesses, the rebels in
uniforms similar to those of UPDF and not the UPDF possing as rebels, killed
the people.


It could also be argued that  it is the  UPDF possing as rebels who are killing the people. .right?

It is not impossible for the rebels to acquire uniforms similar to
those of the UPDF.


If it is possible for the rebels to  acquire UPDF uniforms,..... conversly  it could be argued that  it is equally  possible for the  some elements of  UPDF  to acquire rebel UNIFORMS (which are similar to that of the UPDF)  and carry  out atrocities  while in this uniforms against  ugandans.  Museveni  already  engaged  and set a precedent in such tricks.. I am sure our  learnt friend will agree with this fact.



That all those many people can be killed is a sign that the UPDF is failing in
its cardinal responsibility of protecting the people of Uganda and their
property.


That is correct ..and is the only conclusion  we must draw.


However, the fact that some of us on this forum have not condemned the rebels
for this killing and insteady seem to derive satisfaction, political or
otherwise is even a worse sin that that of UPDF's failure.



Yeah..."some of us" like who?


As has been stated on this forum before, the rebel problem in the Uganda is a
political problem that has to be politically and not militarilly addressed.

May the souls of those that have perished in these useless wars rest in peace.
