Matek, use your brains man...what do you expect from an inquiry done in
france, instituted by the families of the french pilots who were flying the
African heads of state. The judge is french, paid by the french government
and carrying out the inquiry in France....were you really expecting him to
reach any other conclusion than what he came out with.
EMuusaazi:
Okay let us use our brains here for a minute. You have two characters. For the sake of this argument let us label them A (The french) and B ( Yoweri Museveni and his NRM Military dictatorship. One character (say a) still believe in the fundamental Human value known throughout the world of telling and abiding by the TRUTH. Indeed this character has Impeccable CREDIBILITY.
The other character ( yoweri Museveni and the NRM) let say B, on the contrary is a pathological lair.
If in the court of law, A offers evidence (circumstantial though it may be according to you)...in this case the evidence presented is overwhelming and pretty much implicates B as party to a CRIME committed against Humanity( were 800,000 people lost their lives)
B then ( Yoweri Museveni and the NRM ) denies the evidence presented by A, in front of the jury of International Community
In your learned opinion, my friend, assuming you are using your brain, who would you rather believe A or B?
Matek
All his assertions
are based on circumstancial evidence..and as usual the Africans are to blame
(when it is bad news)...he is basically telling the family memebers the late
pilots, that the Africans (not the French government) are responsible for
the deaths of your relatives, so if you have any compensation claims to
make, go to Africa. Maybe Uganda, Rwanda and America should institute their
own inquiries and come out with their own findings.
Matek is normally very "pan-africanist" in his outlook, but i guess this
situation is self-serving to him as it puts his major antagonist (government
of Uganda and) in bad light. One wonders why Mr. Matek is ready to believe
the circumstancial and unverified inquiry of the French, while supporting
Mugabe (and ZANU PF) against the French, American, Britain and the rest of
the western world's accusation of human rights violations (most of which
have been varified by Zimbabweans, black and white).
"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."
