Dear brothers and sisters, - While Idi Amin did great things at his time, I think time has come where we need to encourage junior Amin to write volumes and volumes of books on his dad's past life. This is best way to retain knowledge so that younger generations can read it later. Bombarding this forum with Idi Amin stuff has become unpalatable, boring and makes no more sense. Perhaps majority of us communicating in this forum were kids during Amin's regime and never saw the benefit of his presidency in West Nile region. Correct me if I am wrong. - We have serious social and economic development challenges facing our region we need to come together as a team and address some of the problems. Doing nothing only continues to hurt a generation of youth some of whom are our nephews, nieces, cousins, sisters, brothers or even our own children. - For instance look at youth unemployment in this region. There is nearly 80-90 % school drop out rate at all levels. Where do some of these youth end up? Just roaming in towns or villages doing nothing but drinking alcohol, smoking marijuana, Mirraa, etc. - Do we really need government intervention to stop or reduce some of these obvious problems in our community? Some of the issues need engaging our communities in finding productive solutions right from the grassroots level. Educating people and empowering them through mass media could go a long way in solving some these problems or saving our community from self destruction. - It may sound like a joking matter to say "why do I have to care about people who do not care about themselves"? In any place where there are thousands of idle people, crime rates go up. Issues like starvation will continue to haunt this region as older hard working generation die off. Mental health issues is on rise. Should we wait for the government to come and rescue us? - I think it time we all come together and harness our human potential from these forum or region and take the wild bull in our own hands before it gets out of control. - Are we going to raise a generation of youth whose job is only SECURITY GUARDS in Kampala & CASAVU in the sugar estates? Brothers and sisters, lets think twice!
