PARLIAMENT â The MP for Otuke, Mr Omara Atubo, says the Langi want the use of force to protect locals from the Lordâs Resistance Army rebels.âWe in Lango believe in military option as an immediate solution and negotiation as a permanent solution as long as these rebels still continue to commit atrocities,â he said in an interview at Parliament yesterday.
The MP said that there would be no peace as long as rebel leader Joseph Kony is in the bush.He also disclosed that internally displaced persons in Lira have not received aid since September 2003.âOur people are totally forgotten; they have not received any assistance since they went to camps in September last year; no food no education,â he said.
"The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth becomes the greatest enemy of the state."
