[Ugnet] Re: [Ugandacom] May 20, 2006: Youth Face Severe Challenges in IDP Camps

[Edward Mulindwa]

Why have we allowed this situation to get this bad and how will history judge us? It amazes me so much when I was called names because I said with Museveni Uganda is in anarchy.   You tell me what is an anarchy if this is not.   Em Toronto    The Mulindwas Communication Group "With Yoweri Museveni, Uganda is in anarchy"             Groupe de communication Mulindwas "avec Yoweri Museveni, l'Ouganda est dans l'anarchie" ----- Original Message ----- From: Matek Opoko To: ugandanet@kym.net ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, May 20, 2006 2:10 PM Subject: [Ugandacom] May 20, 2006: Youth Face Severe Challenges in IDP Camps May 20, 2006: Youth Face Severe Challenges in IDP Camps in: Stories from the Ground by: Paul William Bionx Akena, Uganda-CAN correspondent in northern Uganda, reports - Padibe IDP camp, with a population of over 38,000 people, is one of the most populated camps in Kitgum district. In a recent interview with Uganda-CAN, Padibe camp leader Grace Atim said that the community there faces chronic water shortages, a poor health services, and a limited food supply from WFP, which has recently been reduced. She also said that efforts by the camp leaders to secure better service provision from local governments and NGOs have failed. Atim said that the effects of displacement are most severe amongst the youth of the Padibe. They often have little educational opportunities and few prospects for securing employment or a livelihood. Girls often take up prostitution to support aging or sick family members, and their customers often include military personnel and NGO staff. Boys are often left with no choice but to join the Ugandan military. Many elders fear that the strain displacement and violence have placed on traditional cultures will lead have long-term effects even after the war has ended. Atim appealed to the international community to step up its efforts to end the war and support programs targeted at youths. Comments Sad very sad..all this under t the "visionary leadership" of NRM Military dictatorship.  or  ....the "new bred of Africans leaders" if you like ,  as Madam Albright would say.    That such Human suffering of this grand scale could be allowed to go on for 20 years, with out members of the international Commuinty raising even a finger  in revolt and reprimand the Kaguta dictatorship, is indeed a very sad commentary and does  disturb the conscience of members of the International Community. So much for the power of NRM propaganda Machinary lead by the "New Vision"..Germans propaganda chief  Himmler ' or his spirits lives in and is still followed by the editors and news paper men and women  of "New Vision"   MK Talk is cheap.
