If you somehow think that Kasangwawo 'died in thin air' - just because he
stopped responding to your confused postings - then you flatter yourself. I
am not in the habit of making comments for your pleasure.
Yoswa was raising a specific issue but, as is usual with your rumblings, you
went off all over the place with your favourite subject - Baganda bashing.
Looks like you have learned nothing over the years.

There is no single year when this government has not made an ultimatum on
this war. I tried to even keep the promises until when I ran out of the
memory. The pity factor remain that when ever Museveni opens up his mouth,
Ugandans bow down with un contested trust. This man has delivered on
absolutely nothing what so ever. And until when Ugandans know Museveni of
what a liar he is, this man is going to die in power then only then
Ugandans will wake up and understand how a sucker they have been dealing
with. For when you look carefully into our society, when the lies we were
telling them for years and years have been in front of them, Ugandans just
disappeared.
There was a one called Kasangwawo, that one mesmerized me how he died in
thin air, for I would love to hear him comment about the massive Buganda
land being tossed away today on contracts of 99 years to non Ugandans. I
love to hear men like Ssenyange tell me how much land Salim Saleh for
example owns in Luwero district if he can donate, not sell but donate for
free to foreigners 100 acres of land in Luwero. I love for example to hear
from Mwaami Kibuuka, a man we specifically told that Uganda's problem is
not Federalism or unitary but Museveni who is exploiting unitarism to his
advantage, I would love him to explain to me why Ssabasajja Mutebi was
cutting a cake in Buddo as Salim Saleh was giving Buganda land to the
foreigners. Let alone to know Mutebi's stand on Buganda land that is being
whisked away on a daily basis. And the best Nan'ginda has done in Uganda is
to start a lucrative school in the rich echelons of Kampala.
When all will be said and done, when this government gets out of power and
all secret deals made public, You will be amazed on what will be left as
Buganda, and that is when you will know the abstract price of the sleep
Baganda have got under this government, "Ffe Kasita Twebaka". Yes we had a
time when it was even illegal to post a comment on the war in Northern
Uganda on Ugandanet, and here we are when Museveni is still playing on the
minds of Ugandans as having a peace talks to Konny in Southern Sudan. Well
kindly remind me what happened when Museveni moved from state house to
Gulu, so that he can him self command UPDF as it is cleaning up the last
remnants of LRA.
Just how much garbage can Ugandans take?

Subject: [Ugnet] The Peace talks: Ten Years Too Late?
Those of you who were on Ugandanet in 1996 wil lremember the concerted
effort and collective determination by a cross-section of Ugandans from
around the world that culminated in an e-petition to the governement to
initiate peace talks with the LRA and end the war in the north. For those
who joined after that, the net-community then asked Prof Charles Olweny
(Canada), Prof Geoffrey Buga (South Africa) and myself (then in Singapore)
to draft the petition and have it okayed and signed by willing members of
the net.
This we did and, if memory serves me right, a duly signed petition was
submitted to governement in (or around April 1996), notwithstanding
Museveni's promise to end the war in 90 days. And as we all know that noble
effort was misunderstood as being "anti-governement" or being supported by
forces that were anti-government. And yet our plea was simple: it did not
matter who was stronger, it did not matter who was right, the truth was
that the suffering among the people in the war zone was too much and the
only way to end it, and end it fast was by sitting down to talk.
Members will therefore excuse my scepticism regarding the Juba talks -
certainly too little,too late for a whole generation of our compatriots who
have been born and raised in the captivity of the IDPs.
Best regards,
Yoswa
PS: Compatriot Ochan Otim, you keep records very well, do you by any chance
have that letter/petition among your saved docs somewhere? I'd like to
refresh my memory on our thinking at the time.
