I greet you all my fellow West Nilers, I would like to thank my brother Oguzu Vasco for his comment on the Presidents offer to Maracha. One thing I would like us to know as people from West Nile is that the president is very happy for finally dividing the two brothers who were giving him hard time. He is jubilating for having separated two brothers who looked inseparable. I wish we West Nilers only understood that simple fact, then we would not be excited of hat has taken place.
My plea to all of us is that we should never hate each other for what has happened, but instead show to the whole of Uganda that we can never be divided over stupid and cheap favors to separate us. Let us speak in one voice as we used to do before if we want to achieve great things in West Nile. Good luck as we struggle to develop our place even without much support from the Government. --- On Fri, 7/30/10, Vasco Oguzua <[email protected]> wrote: From: Vasco Oguzua <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [WestNileNet] President's Visit to West Nile To: "A Virtual Network for friends of West Nile" <[email protected]> Date: Friday, July 30, 2010, 4:16 PM Erima Robert, I am not sure what you mean by contribution to a remarkable success of Maracha district. I wonder if there were really any contributions of awarding a district to Maracha other than the usual empty politics and divide and rule philosophy of the president. There is nothing to be proud about Maracha district and I do not think there is anything Maracha district will do better than Terego County even if Terego was not awrded district status. If Luwero region which helped the president achieve his current status has never benefitted from the suffering and inconveiences they experienced during all the dark days of the liberation, why do you think Maracha is a success story compared to all these other counties to which a district has been given. The best examples are not far from Maracha county. Look at Koboko and Yumbe, how have they become better than Maracha county when they were awarded district status some years ago. How have the people in these districts become better than Terego or Ayivu or Vurra counties who have not been awarded districts. I think there is nothing other than the president and the unprincipalled politicians who are not addressing the real problems of people, but rather manipulate the people for votes, especially at this time of elections approcahing at the pretext of awarding Districts. I do not think Terego has anything to loose by not being made a district and I applaud the politicians in Terego for standing firm. There were more developments in West Nile district when it consisted of 10 counties than West Nile now with all its numerous districts. No need to play in the hands of political manipulation of thge president by dividing and causing antagonism with our brothers and sisters in Terego. I think you are educated enough to know that there is nothing Maracha will gain by being a district. The president in coming there to confuse the people for his campaign nothing to gain other than intimidating people with his security people.

Don't we have salient issues as a region to bring to his attention? I see this would be such a unique opporunity to petition him for a number of issues we've complained about instead of only celebrating a district status. Looking forward to hearing from you.
