Goodnight people, I think I need to go to bed and cut down on the nonsense I
can accommodate for a single day.

Subject: {UAH} UPC Policy on Somalia
Edward Mulindwa & Co;
As you may know, I do not speak for UPC or any other political party in
Uganda. However, I still have to respond to your instistence that UPC must
have a policy on Uganda's engagement in Somalia.
Uganda is in Somalia as part of a UN-funded, multi-national coalition to
help stablize that country. Our involvement was not because Uganda has any
selfish reason of being there, like conquest, looting, etc. Believe it or
not, the lawlessness that had taken over Somalia had spread to all over East
Africa, and had had the potential to permeate down to every level of our
society. This had to be stopped.
Now, pause fo the benefit of self education and answer this question: where
would Uganda be if Tanzania and Nyerere had not intervened on our behalf and
kicked out dictator Idi Amin? Irrespective of the political prizm through
which you recall our political history, Nyerere's determination and
Tanzania's sacrifice in human lives and material costs, saved us.
Similarly, Museveni's undertaking in Somalia has saved millions of
Somalians.
As a ruling party, UPC co-founded the OAU (the precursor to the current AU)
and was a well-respected member of the UN, the Non-Aligned Movement and
other regional organizations. The responsibility that comes with those
prominent roles in world affairs calls us to act when called upon.
It would be foolish for UPC and any opposition party for that matter to hold
a permanent statement of belief (policy) on such fleeting engagements as the
war in Somalia or anywhere else.
Someone here mentioned the case of America's political parties and their
"policies" on the wars in Iraq and Afghansistan. There's no such policy
because the troops out there do not come from a specific political party.
There are, however, some politicians among these parties who loudly express
their opposition to those wars.
