I have raised this issue a million times and in all times it has been bogged
down for Ugandans can never stand to ask those that killed the people in
Mukura. But I get very insulted when Obalell Omonding write this paragraph
in which he fails to mention the name of General Mugisha Muntonyera that
commanded this murder, and my name sake stands up to define it as a write of
a capturing paragraph. On record. The Rwandese today are not arresting those
that killed the people during the genocide, they have started to go back
filling appeals in those cases where the alleged killers were found innocent
by courts of law. There is no way Mugisha Muntu would play any political
part in The Rwanda government. Absolutely none, but if you raise his name,
Ugandans attack you. As you read this writing, there is no single Ugandan
that has ever been arrested for killing the people. And that is the
difference between the tax payer of Uganda and Freda Oguttu.
Men like AMO became people of respect for he so cared about those tax
payers.

Folks:
This writer best captures the agony and helplessness of all the victims of
Mukura massacre.
Our memory of the Mukura wagon massacre will never fade
Posted Wednesday, July 11 2012 at 18:40
Yesterday, some of us reflected on one of the worst atrocities, the Mukura
Massacre that the NRM government inflicted on the people of Uganda. As I
have said before on this forum, if the Museveni government ever thought that
July 11 would fade in our memories, then it is
The day is even more poignant given that some of us were brought up within
whistling distance of Okungulo (Mukura) Railway Station, where this
horrendous atrocity was committed. To-date, all we have witnessed is a
tokenistic effort by the government to mollify the feelings of the poor
people whose families were incinerated in a disused wagon. All said and
done, this is like putting lipstick on a pig. Unless justice is seen to be
done to the people of Mukura and, by extension, of Uganda, there can never
be a closure to this kind of atrocity.
Just for the record, during the 10th Anniversary of the Massacre in 1999,
this is what former president Milton Obote, said: Mukura is in Kumi
District, which is in Teso and Teso is in the north-east, which Museveni
told the diplomats as having been pacified. Why was it that some 300 young
men were imprisoned and locked by the NRA in railway wagons at Mukura, a
pacified area, and then massacred by setting fire under the wagons!
The answer can only be that the destruction of the foodstuff of millions of
people, the destruction of their homes, and the massacres of many people at
Mukura were all a deliberate policy to depopulate Uganda so as to provide
land for foreigners to farm. I dare say those painful and memorable words
by the founding Father of the Republic of Uganda, still ring true today as
they rang in 1999 when they were penned.
On this 23rd anniversary of the Mukura Massacre, I earnestly appeal to you
all to join me and all Ugandans of goodwill, to reflect on the manner in
which the current rulers in Kampala have conveniently decided to get away
with murder of such magnitude. Just pause and imagine that children who were
born on July 11, 1989 have now grown up as orphans, if they are alive,
because they were robbed of the love, attention and care they would have
received from their parents and have been left to get on with their daily
lives.
To all our fallen brothers and sisters, wherever they may be, one commitment
we make is: Our memory will never fade. You will remain in our hearts for
eternity.
