( unfortunately, I have lost Mao's article. Would some good soul forward this to him)
God bless, I did not play Hide N Seek with our brother Hon. Mao. I would have been chanceless. I would have raised my hands higher than high to surrender, if it were propitious to my conviction (and that of those who hold similar vantage point), that is. I can also be stubborn at times! But I must confess Hide N Seek is not my favorite. I will for obvious reasons dodge conspirator theories and party-political strategies and tactics: I neither have the competence nor tenable platform in Ugandan politics. Also that, for the obvious reason that I do not live in Uganda. Firstly, one thing we have to get on the clear is that I both applaud and recognize involved Ugandan leader�s (of various categories) industrious and relentless endeavors to accomplish peace in the conflict-hardened parts of Northern Uganda. There is no doubt about that concurrence. I have no knowledge of what the actors in the conflict have in their binoculars. No sooner has the conflict come on agenda than some one hollered, �this conflict is very complex!!� But isn�t it just there (from the complexity) they should proceed?! My own desire is furtherance of more MERCHANTABLE APPROACH than de facto baking problems for future generation Ugandan to battle with. Perhaps the absence of that, coupled with the obscure Acolinization of the conflict that closes on understanding, are the deficits that worry many Ugandan!?!? Could be what Hon. Mao is misinterpreting as �scape-goating� the Rwodi?! In those days, there were the ABILA. Then, the ABILA CONSTITUTION provided for mato OFUT home made conflict resolution ritual. Those were the days when neither Acoli, Uganda, the United Nations nor the rule of justice through democracy and LAW existed (at least not in our sphere). Relatively, today�s macro political inter och intra coordination and integration, is more desirable because it opens for broader participation. It is my understanding that Hon Mao realizes that de facto �Home-made conflict resolution� approach does not foster understanding both within the international community and internally among us Ugandan. Neither does it foundation tenable future institution for the resolution of similar crisis for future Ugandan generations in whom democracy and the rule of Law and JUSTICE shall be obvious. That, according to my spontaneous understanding is the gravity of the dismay with the RWODI. IT IS NOT SO MUCH A QUESTION OF SCAPE-GRACING THE ACOLI RWODI. They are certainly doing their bests. The question seems on the contrary, whether or not their proceeding vantage point is propitious enough for the ultimate goal. We are all aware of the ambivalences in all such initiatives but just those are vital in working out sustainable renaissance. One other thing I miss in Hon. Mao�s repartee is DISTRIBUTION OF RESPONSIBILITIES. As a jurist and MP (legislator), Mao seems to be eluding his own share of the curse. Mao articulates very well and precisely President Musseveni�s �sinister intention� and ill-fated connivance. Question is, is it not his mandate as a legislator checkmate violations and mal practices? My conclusion is that what Hon. Mao experiences as �scape-goating� of the RWODI may on the contrary be an impression for absence of merchantable platform. If we act on the globalize scheme and seek understanding there after, we should also accept and adapt as ours standard rules of the game. One merchantable is the plight of the victims. Us Omego amongst, what compensation are the victims receiving? Omego Mao, the RWODI are themselves creating the labyrinth. You can�t sweep dirt (hide dirt) under the carpets and be contended that you have thoroughly swept the room!! What they are doing is baking problems for future generation Acoli to hurdle: they are making it difficult for Acoli to play in the same league as the rest of Uganda. Acoli is not an independent state, yet. Not even semi autonomous. So, we should resolve our conflicts according to prevalent common culture of JUSTICE THROUGH THE RULE OF DEMOCRACY AND LAW. Or I am I sailing?
