Dear Comrades, Personally I do not see anything wrong with publications such as being posted on the internet- accurately this forum.
While there could be many reasons why writers express themselves, for now I zero on one. Writing correct history. Most of the enemies of rise of Africa have systematically portray very bad picture of the continent, not only bad but in most cases false. Unfortunately, some of us are collaborators of these enemies and have capitalized on lies. Today most Ugandans have been 'fed' to think that true Uganda existed from 1986. Uganda of the 1971-1978 is has 'Demonised'- if one travelled this would not be a story. What used to be called Nile Province has continued to suffer mainly due to misrepresentation. I was very shocked on the day we received our first born. A woman asked me 'when are you going to eat this one '. I thought I misunderstood her. May be she meant when I would give her into marriage and then stock some wealth from bridal dowry. When pressed, she told me that they had been brought up to know that the 'Banyongo' eat their first born. Now my daughter is 21 years old but has not been scheduled for eating. Hussein and others, do correct the wrong notion in the society. Please, if you think what some people are revealing is not true, prove yourself. Else if, for some reasons, you have no interest in them, make use of your Delete key/button on your device - just TRASH. God Bless you.
