Hi Ejiku, Thank you for suggesting Mr Erejobo James Chiria's name for the task force. I have met him and interacted iwth him. He shares many of the concerns being discussed in this forum. I therefore second him for membership of the task force unless some one objects. Thank you. Sam Andema University of British Columbia 6335 Thunder Bird Crescent vancouver Canada

His commitment to such initiatives can be immense if contacted in time and I have personally had the benefit to work with him on a number of things lately. I find his work amazing and that such talents are just abound within our community but we can not tap into them is really disturbing. This is not to say he can not be contacted later even if outside the task force. Im mindful of the fact that character and diversity of the team be emphasized and not every name that springs to mind can be part of the taskforce. Fr. Ruffino you might want to consider these suggestions for your force and possibly contact him like you did for other members you now have willing to join you on the team. Thank you. Ejiku.

The different and diverse views this forum is generating is breathe-taking to read, especially, they are all coming from the sons and daughters of the region. I feel confident we have the human resources fron West Nile who can turn around the pathetic and chaotic situation we are experiencing in our region. This is our time to make a mark in the history of the region - to take advantage of a bad and sorry situation and and get something very good and memorable to the future generation. Our problems are many but interrelated and as such we need to have an intergrated approach to it. The task force is where we begin. We need to expand the task force to perhaps upto 11 or 13 people with different and various background. We need to include women (2 to 3 at least), youth (2 to 3 we need to let our youths start to learn from us the older generation), local business people. I am sure many of you know amongst yourselves from home, people who have the ability to critically look and evaluate issues, research, collect and analyze data, are effective participants, take initiatives and have the ability to motivate. Critical thinking and ability to integrate in a wider perspective the issues in our region as a whole is very vital for the Task force. I would suggest Fr. George Ezatirale and Jimmy Adriko or Tabu Butagira be included in the Task Force because we shall need some journalists to help in disseminating some of the activities we are about to embark on in the newspapers.
