The suggestions/ideas/recommendations we make regarding issues in West Nile Region will be more effective if we have some level of authority to voice and present these issues to the different levels of govenment authorities. These names have been proposed. 1) West Nile Global Forum for Sustainable Development (WNGFSD) 2) West Nile Strategic Development Commission (WNSDC) 3) Work with existing organization like West Nile Rural Development Agency (WENIRUDA). This is registered already (www.WENIRUDA.org) Note: Commissions are typically created by govenment to look into an issue/address a problem. May I ask all members to vote on these three (3) proposed names within the next two weeks (2). If we all agree on a particular name, one of the attorneys/lawyer on the team can help to shape and draw up articles of incorporating the name as not for profit organization in Uganda.

I would like to suggest/recommend we begin catching up on this issue starting from next week on Thursday. We have one week left for more ideas on the High Umployment & Povery. A few members have been contributing vividly lately. May I encourage more people getting involved. DO NOT BE BOGGED DOWN. LET'S HEAR MORE Voices/Opninions. Next week I would like us to do on line VOTE on who we want to call ourselves. Three names have so far been proposed. Any objections or secondments?

Re: RE: MATEGO ISSUE--PROPOSING UNITY TOURNAMENT (Majid Alemi Junior) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Fri, 22 May 2009 02:22:05 -0700 (PDT) From: oguzu lee <oguzu...@yahoo.com> Subject: [WestNileNet] RE: MATEGO ISSUE--PROPOSING UNITY TOURNAMENT To: A Virtual Network for friends of West Nile <westnilenet@kym.net> Message-ID: <277225.86239...@web51807.mail.re2.yahoo.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Ladies and gentlemen, As people of West Nile, we are faced with the choice of unity and cooperation on one hand or disunity and a common tragedy on the other. But the news, as I said earlier is that, we can all do our part to confront our challenges to development. Bearing that in mind, I wish to propose a tournament that could be held under the theme “UNITY FOR DEVELOPMENT” whose goal must be to bring together the people of Maracha and Terego, promote peace, enhance constructive engagements & partnership, and generate increased cooperation for unity, growth, and development. Today we all recognize and appreciate the potential of sports to unify people separated by various conflict-brewing factors; politics, religion, ethnicity, social and economic disparities. The the district issue, party politics, and poverty have left deep bruises and divisions amongst our people. Presently, politicians in the two areas even consider their colleagues as enemies, thus leaving very little hope of building a common front as people of West Nile to pursue recovery and antipoverty agenda. I therefore think, if we adopted soccer which is the most popular in our area, we could create healthy-worrying people who see themselves as partners with a common focus and vision rather than enemies, and collectively develop a new vision for growth and development in West Nile. I was told when Marcha and Terego people disagreed sometime in back, Miria Adua, the then chief of Maracha organized the popular 1962 football match at Ovujo where Teregians were served their favorite ‘rats’ as Maracha people struggled with grasshoppers. Even when BAT-West Nile Tobacco Union fight left people sharply divided along factional lines and planted seed of hatred amongst the people; soccer always emerged as the unifying force that brought together people divided by the various reasons. Under an unusual joy, they willingly cheered and supported their teams as others watched with great amazement enemies standing together, chanting, celebrating and even hugging one another on play ground . Drawing inspiration from this, I’m proposing we use soccer to strengthen the link between Maracha and Terego people and their partisans; to promote a sense of togetherness; encourage purposeful and positive engagements; contribute to development of West Nile; and inspire reformed political participation, free and open exchange of ideas, and greater interaction. I’m also proposing that each match be complemented by brief discussions to emphasize the key objectives and concepts portrayed by the tournament. All participating teams receive set of jerseys and footballs. Players of all participating teams receive certificates, winning team receives a trophy and a bull, and 2nd winner receives a bull. To stimulate increased participation in the tournament, awareness banners, t-shirts and promos be developed and availed within the two counties and promos aired on two radio stations for some days. I hope more ideas will be generated and needed resources will be mobilized. I’m pledging two footballs towards this cause.
