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.

OTUKE MP Daniel Omara Atubo has said the Langi have resolved to fight the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) rebels and repulse them from the sub-region.

"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.



Atubo was addressing Lango students at Kyambogo university recently.
