Kawanga-Ssemogerere, Karooli Ssemogerere, Norbert Mao, etc... are all over the place. * ** *It is even worse in West Africa. * ** *In spite of Obote's shortcomings, at least he made sure the youths were growing up with some ideological perspective. * ** *Today, the new generation displays an idiocy that scares the wits out of anybody that cares !! * ** *Senseless tribal chauvinism is the order of the day !! * ** *Many are even looking to the offspring of the European slave master for salvation !! * ** *Onyango Obbo recently wrote to me saying that he still believes that giving away Uganda Commercial Bank was the right thing to do !! * ** *He could even still be an admirer of running dog Kagame !! Who knows ? * ** *The daily papers from Uganda now have front page articles that insult our memory of Kwame Nkrumah !! ( I once complained to Anne Mugisha on her such authorship and her reply was 'Tough luck' for my being incensed by her bashing of that greatest of Africa's giants, Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah).* ** *It is well and good, Comrade Ocii, that the Chinese as allies is a ready made solution we still have. * ** *But in the final analysis it is only we who can ever be our liberators.* ** *One gets so depressed it is a wonder some of us are still sane !!* ** *Mitayo Potosi* *==============================* On 12/12/07, ocii <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > *There is of course needs to know exactly who is who, but this Nkunda's > victories cannot be a cause for alarm!
