West Nilers, The International Women's day national celebration will be hosted by Nebbi in West Nile tomorrow and women of all walks of life will converge at Nebbi boma ground to chronicle their struggle in building the nation. Just 80km up north in Arua we are mourning the death of close to 30 mothers (mostly) who have been struggling in petty small scale businesses moving from one market to another using the most risky transport. Imagine 30 plus women on top of an over loaded lorry with their merchandise from one market to another. 6th March will be marked as a dark evening when our mothers lost their lives in pursuit to fend for their families. This accident is the third within two years but with the highest death tolll. My uncle Lumaga Jimmy lost his wife in the same river Ala tragedy. We are mourning not celebrating women's day. As Uganda celebrates women's day, can gov't improve the conditions of our roads and bridges to major markets as we encourage our mothers to use different transport means from their cargo because over loading of such trucks is apparent? The Nebbi celebration should be entirely dedicated to the thirty or so women whose families may need some support to enable them stand so that they can eventually walk given business acumen. May their souls rest in peace as we all join in helping mothers fend for their families. Thanks Elly
