LRA rebels have brutalised civilians right before her face. Betty Bigombe, the chief negotiator with LRA leader Joseph Kony, on Sunday gave a moving testimony of the challenges she faced in an attempt to end the 18-year-long northern insurgency.
"I saw land mines blow people. I saw people mutilated, women raped, children defiled and brutally murdered. But faced with all these challenges, I never gave up," she said.
Testifying as an old student of Gayaza High School, at the climax of the school's centenary activities at Namirembe Cathedral, Bigombe said the school motto, never give up, inspired her.
"We shall continue to pursue the rebels until peace returns to the north," she said.
Bigombe, however, said it was challenging to look at human disfigurement.
"How do you sit with people who mutilated, raped, defiled and made young girls pregnant? How do you deal with the perpetrators of such brutality? How can child-mothers forget that they have children from men they never loved?
What will they tell their children to make them feel loved?" Bigombe asked.
