Vukoni Lupa-Lasaga I hear you, for starters, we in the Diaspora should come out with a joint communiqu� sending a clear message to those responsible for the death of babies and resolve to find ways how we can work together as a community to send aid to the bereaved families and suggest long lasting solutions aimed at ending the war in the North for good
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Vukoni Lupa-Lasaga Sent: Tuesday, February 24, 2004 9:39 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: ugnet_: The northern tragedy: How can we help? My dear brothers and sisters, Far too many defenseless and innocent Ugandans have lost lives, limbs, ears, noses, lips, and property in the last 18 years even as the NRM administration has internationally promoted the lie that our country is secure. Regardless of our political persuasions or who we believe is behind these massacres or should be held responsible for them, cann't we at the very least agree that enough is enough and bring pressure to bear on those fighting to respect lives. We need to send a clear message to Kony, Museveni and their spokesmen, as well as any other kalashnikovcrat wannabes that we don't want to see our country bleeding to death, literally. Especially those of us outside the country, isn't it possible for us to collectively through our community organizations condemn the massacres and the militaristic mindsets on both government and rebel sides that foments and permits the callous disregard for lives for political expediency? UNAA and all the other Diasporic Ugandan organizations, are we only good for partying? More practically, can't we mobilize resources (money, etc.) to send relief aid to the victims of these man-made disasters? Please let's do something.
