You have put a finger on it, for
regrettably the war in Uganda left being a problem to being a source of
income, and the moment it crossed that line Museveni keeps on laughing.
And that is why it is very unrealistic for any one to think that NRM wants peace
in the North, what NRM wants is to make sure as many people are dead, either
through UPDF attacks labelled Konny attacks or by pilling them into these
trained fighters and decimate them that way. And the sooner people realise that
the sooner we can move on. For this thinking you have brought up we should have
brought it ten years ago, for really Museveni has not started any thing new
today, this has been his exact operation from day one, but Ugandans refused to
accept it and when ever you tell any body that the war is a government creation
you were going up a wall. Why can't this war end? Is Konny stronger than Uganda
government? How does he survive? Who gives him intelligence? A force like NRM in
Luwero had a problem getting food and they were attacking cassava plantations in
Luwero at night, who feeds Konny for 20 years? Then look on all serious people
posted in the North they end up dead or transferred. And by the way how many
bodies come back to West and South Uganda of dead soldiers in this war? Why is
it that in all Konny attacks on the population he attacks people only near a
UPDF location yet he does not attack UPDF? Those and many other questions we
must ask our selves, for we have a big gap between the population and Uganda
government, a government which has proved over and over that it does not give a
wit on what happens in Northern Uganda. The refusal of involvement of United
Nation refers.
Good morning all

It is my belief that only the people the hell will be
able to free themselves. Not American , Not BRITAIN , NOT M7 AND NOT any of
those MPs shouting for breadcrums. I have come to realise that some of our
owns sons abroad are working negatively against all efforts being put by
geniue people to bring peace to our people. They are in the money chase! Most
of our MPs are manipulating people to maintain their status quo! MPs are
making the situation worst. At this critical time i would not expect our MPS
to be shouting like monkeys on a tree IF they are geniue, what did they work
out of parliament for a few weeks ago? They said they were going to be with
their people and now they are shouting miles a way.
The fact is there are trumatise families who have
lost their relatives or friend in the horrific butcher imaginable. And such
people can spiral our of control, i would expect our MPs to be trying to
understand their feeling, tying to work with them directly to achieve some
form of Understanding of where their problems are coming from, try geting to
all the elements/ actors of this problems and togther forge a way of solving
it with the wider community. But our MPs prefer to use to shout so that they
are known to be the one talking and in the process even create bigger
problems.
Till all our MPS come together and speak in one voice
today tomorrow and always our people are doomed. This is a big problem no one
person or MP can solve it a lone so why are they all pretending and deceiving
us.the earlier they drop the MPsand take charge of their own destiny they will
always remain in camps, keep having one funeral after another, keep blaming
one another etc until they all perish.
It is crucial our MPs stop being part of the problem and
begin to be part of the solution. That means operating differently from they
way they have so far been doing, means working together with the people etc
etc.. And not personal merit. I hear some say without M7 they would not be in
parliement! especialy the women.

Comrades,
This is a serious matter. Many of us decried
this business of training local militia to respond to a national insurgency.
Part of the objective of the NRM has already been achieved...drive the wage
between nationalities. How easy is it going to be to heal the deepening
wounds?
The sad thing is that, even people like Omara
Atubo, who should know better, have taken the easier route to serious policy
making informed by reflection, vision and critcal analysis by way of
escapist cheap political populism.
Where have all the national leaders
gone?
I would like to urge that the UPC Secretariat
should come out with a strongly worded statement on the national situation.
We cannot sit idly while the country is fallIing apart. This should not
simply be the usual weekly press briefings. There should be a strongly
worded press release on the national situation should serve as a
warning to all ethnic nationalists that there shall be no impunity for the
deaths of innocent citizens.
Regards,
Okello Lucima

This is not just stupid is
criminal.
This stupid man served as a state minister
for defence under NRA. When the same NRA kiboko is buttocks when he was
still a minister, one would have thought he would have learnt a lesson
then! No! He has even become more stupider.

Langi to Fight Lra, Says
Atubo
"LRA declared war on Langi...and we the Langi are also
declaring war on them and we shall win. Since we have unanimously
agreed, armed with guns, spears, axes and pangas, the rebels will be
driven off," he said.
This is stupid talk! How
can you engage the so called "rebels " while armed with Machetes, spears
and axes? The mighty UPDF which is armed with
Helicopter gunships, tanks, machine guns have not succeeded in defeating
the "rebels" after 17 years of war. Instead civilians
have suffered the wrath of the UPDF.
How on earth
does Omara Atubo think the Langi can perform any
better?
The only solution to this "Kony" nightmare is a
peacefully negotiated settlement. Even Yoweri Museveni's friends
in the West agree on this.
