Ugandans:
Below then is what I was reffering to when I stated here on this forum that the Museveni Regime is not approaching the Northern/ Eastern Uganda crises with the seriousness it deserves and would require to address the issue at hand. i.e bring the suffering of our people to a speedy end. Indeed UPDF spokeman has the audacity to deny the a fact pointed out by one of the NGO's that the regime in Kampala is ussing "former rebels" to guard IPD camps. Does Mr. Felix Kalayinge realize that this NGO have represntative on the ground in Northern Uganda, who gather what ever intelligence deem neccessary for their organizations. How then can Mr. Felix Kalayigye deny what is obvious? Indeed, by denying what everybody knows for a fact make Mr. Felix Kalayinge look like a fool.

a)In a report titled Only Peace Can Restore the Confidence of the Displaced, the Refugee Law Project, the Norwegian Refugee Council and the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre say that the humanitarian crisis in northern Uganda - Gulu, Kitgum and Lira districts - has worsened because of neglect by the Uganda government and the international community.b) "The lack of consistent support from the government for a peace process was identified as a major stumbling block, the report says. "The government continues to favour ending the war militarily, an approach that has not only failed for 20 years but has also jeopardised the chance of dialogue with the rebels."c) A mong other things, the report says that the peace process that broke down in December 2004 did not seem to have any hope now and that the protection of IDPs by the army was doubtful. It questioned the fact that a number of untrained paramilitary groups were also involved in protecting civilians.The Ugandan People's Defence Forces (UPDF) are blamed for having "not clearly defined their roles and responsibilities".d)"The government has yet to provide the political will or the resources to fully implement the policy, and as a result the progressive goals of improving the response to IDPs have been undermined, said Zachary Lomo, director of the Refugee Law Project.e)"The fact that those who are mandated to provide protection to IDPs - the Ugandan military - are often perpetuating rights abuses against the civilian population is deplorable and clearly indicates the need for re-establishing an effective and functioning judiciary system, said Elisabeth Rasmusson, head of the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre.Ms Rasmusson added that the police and judiciary, who should provide protection, are virtually absent in northern Uganda.
