At this time when anarcky is at the gate between Lang,s and theAcholi let all Ugandans denounce m7 and his government in open.
National Reform Agenda Youth league has organised public rallies in Mbale district this month of march .
Our main aim is to sensitize our people about the impending ethinic violence engineered by M7 and his friends in government so that they can glue themselves come 2006.
We also hear the trash being exposed by government operatives that our assembly is illegal.
Stay informed that wheither you want or not we shall hold a public .
Those trying to intimidate us come and get your share .We shall not allow one mans show in Uganda .
We are all citizens of this country(UGANDA) and no body
has an upper hand in deciding for everyone.

Hey Guys,

What is happening to the LRA apologists these days? Are you scared by the impending arrest of your boss \'\'Major General \'\' by the ICC or the death of his leading butcher Yadin Nyeko? You just abondon the crime and come back to the fold. I have indicated previously that Kony \'s butchery was about to end and people like Ayoo Mulindwa and Antony will also face trials like Dr. Joseph Goebbels the Nazi chief propagandist and you thought I was joking and dont the current events show that I was right?

Mugisha,

Your name sounds Ugandan if Iam not mistaken.However , I am shuttered by the level of ignorance you have exhibited on Uganda . Ignorance number I , the issue of Uganda army size . All this information has been in the media, and is on internet , I dont Imagine that a man who managed to get a UK Visa for whatever reasons cannot get that information from the open media. Ignorance number 2 , on forwarding that information to Jack Straw British Foreign Secretary, do you Imagaine that Britain does not have the capacity to know through their intelligence? Ignorance number 3, you are asking about whether Uganda government has ever initiated talks with LRA , may I ask you how old are you? All these issue have been in the open media. Ignorance number 4 ,About Arua park in Kampala, when you or your parents were going to Britain where did they pass? . My friend Mugisha when some of us send information on this forum we discuss as intellectuals with facts and brains not stupidity. So if you know nothing about Uganda why not shut your empty mouth?

Can Museveni answer these Quesions?
How Strong Is Kony Rebels?
To answer such a question, one would have to answer the next questions first. How strong is the UPDF (Ugandan National Army)? Which UPDF officers, have led the fight against Kony, in the last 15years? Who finances Kony and by how much? Who finances the UPDF?
Dear Sir, we are a group o Ugandans leaving in the united kingdom, we request you for any information about Kony that can help to answer very disturbing questions on why Kony has defeated Museveni for such along time. These will help to suggest possible solutions, which we will present to the office of the British Foreign secretary Jack Straw.
Qn: Who has been commanding the war against Kony since 1986, which people in the UPDF?
Qn: Apart from Kony\'s interest in controlling all businesses in the North, what else does he want? He knows very well that he cannot rule Ugandans.
Qn: If the government offered him 2 Million dollars to give fighting would he give up fighting would he give up?
Qn: Has the government ever initiated negotiation talks with Kony, to find out his motive of the war?
Qn: Kony finances his war by controlling all major profitable business in consumer goods in the North. If it is not his business it is for a relative or friend who must subscribe for protection. That is why the civilian trucks that have crossed into his territory without his permission/subscribing at Arua Park have been destroyed. True or False?
Qn:Is there a place called Arua Park in Kampala?
Qn: Why would rebels destroy a civilian goods truck with just the driver and the turn boy?
Qn: Kony is a heartless businessman, taking advantage of people in the North with his guns like any other business person, using his political position to do business by evading taxes on very large volumes of imported goods taking advantage of normal business people. True or false?
Qn: Is there politicians involved in business especially the import business?

Rebel massacre in Ugandan camp
At least 40 people have been killed in an attack by Lord\'s Resistance Army rebels near Lira in northern Uganda.
The rebels raided a camp which is home to thousands of displaced civilians.
A missionary described the scene as one of unprecedented cruelty, with the rebels leaving charred bodies and smouldering huts as they fled
The LRA, led by Joseph Kony, are known for kidnapping and brutalising young children, many of whom end up fighting for them.
A civilian militia was recently deployed in the area.
The BBC\'s Will Ross in Kampala says that according to a local official in the camp 47 people were killed, including two government soldiers.
Eyewitness from Lira
What the rebels stand for
Eyewitnesses say more than 100 LRA rebels surrounded Abiya camp and there was an exchange of fire between the rebels and the Ugandan army troops.

The rebels then raided the camp, using machetes and clubs, civilians were attacked, and those attempting to flee were shot.

The rebels set fire to over 100 huts before fleeing the area.

\"It was horrific to see these poor defenceless people alone and at the mercy of these bandits. It is criminal,\" said Catholic priest Sebat Ayala from Lira, a town about 30 km fere burns, gunshot wounds and cuts.

Ayoo, if you can be a spokesman of a group of bandits which can do what it did to your kinsmen in Abia if I laballed your entire tean sick will I be out of order?

After a few days off, I am happy to return to the forum and with with some Good News at that. The Good News being the death of another of LRA Commanders \"Brig.\" Tolbert Yardin Nyeko on Monday 19-01-04. Nyeko was the Army Commander in LRA and so was therefore very influencial in the terrorist outfit. Between him, Otti and Kony they are directly responsible for the death of over 30,000 Ugandans. It is heartening therefore to learn that they are also getting paid in their their owe currency. Coming soon after the death of \"Brig.\" Tabuley, Nyeko\'s death must have come as another heavy blow to LRA and their foreign based sponsors. As said earlier, the future of LRA is very much doubt and it is high time they are cut their cost by surrendering or else they long arm of the state of Uganda will get them one by one. Soon there will be no hiding lace for these terrorists even in Sudan. I am now confident that nothern Uganda will get total peace by June 2004 as I had predicted in my New Year message.

The struggle is however not yet over. It will end when Joseph Kony, Otti, Raska and Sam Kolo who is constantly in communication with Godfrey Ayo are also killed. This should happen in the next few months.

No need to apologise about the Backwardness of Acholi land. The region is one of the most undeveloped in Uganda.
The guyz spend the whole day drinking and kill their neighorbours at night. Imagine killing their own. You can imagine the hell they used to happily unlesh to the entire country their times. They would rape, rob, kill, murder, steal. For the years they were in power, they were just animals. You can imagine having Konny for president.
The are dying to bring him to Kampala, and make him president. No way we need to protect ourselfs. These murderers cannot be allowed back.

Antony,

You may accuse me of being tribal minded in my views. You may even doubt my tribe. But you can not escape the fact that Ugandan society is tribally aligned. In most cases you find that members of a partiuclar tribe or regio depending on the issue at hand tend to be together. This is explains where the Buganda for instance demand for FEDERO as a tribe more than others. This is why they Langi are predominanty in UPC. It is alos why Museveni has been scoring over 90% votes in western Uganda. It is also the reason why most Kakwas still beleive that Amin was the best leader Uganda has ever had etc. You will notice if you are sharp enough that in all these examples tribe is a very important factor.
My point of view is that for one to understand the political dynamics of Uganda, one must recognise the role tribal considerations play. By so doing one will be addressing the cause of the problem rather than the symptoms. Failure to understant the role of tribe means that one will never get to know the ideaolgy behind the LRA rebellion or why the LRA rebllion is largely an Acholi issue or why the majority of the Langi support UPC and not DP or NRM and why Banyankole support NRM etc etc. I agree with you that any leader must suffer critcism from time to time from the people. But my point is that most often there cricism is informed by tribal sentiments hence it is not constructive. Secondly, most people do not criticise leaders who are their fellow tribesmen e,g most Lnagi will not crticise Obote for his past deeds. Most Baganda do not accept that that the Kabaka or mengo were as guilty as Obote in the unfortunate 1966 crisis. They lay all blame on Obote which to me is unfair. In Lango it is next to sacrilege to criticise Obote. The examples are many.
About my tribe. I do not remember ever saying that I an an Etesot. What I said is that I come from Soroti. You made your concusions that I am Etesot yet I could be a Kuman. Anyway, I am not like Edward Muindwa who u

A good leader will listen to what his/her people are trying to tell them. A leader will ignore the people at their peril. A good leader shows concerns for his/her people and deals with their problem/concerns.
The answer is simple, you deal with peoples concerns and they will support you ignore them and you lose the battle for hearts and minds.
I don’t think the ordinary people living in these abominable camps stay up at night worrying about who the next president will be as they have immediate concerns. The first thing on their minds is the lack of security and lawlessness that they have had to endure.

Mosses Ebu (Claims to be an Itesso if I recall correctly, although I don’t buy it).
Why is it that your arguments are always along tribal lines?

People don’t judge/ criticise Musevni for the fun of it or to ridicule the fellow because boredom, they do it based on based his record, past and present. No leader is immune to criticism, and any leader must expect to be judged by his actions and deeds. Museveni has critics from all tribes/races and walks of lives so am rather taken aback by your bold statement that only handful of tribes constitute Musevenis critics.
For someone to be criticised they must have done something. There is nothing wrong with a valid criticism.

A good leader will always listen to the critics as these provide pointers of the leaders weaknesses. And when you know your weaknesses you can then address them but to dismiss critics at a whim are symptoms of weak leader.

About a leader being judged by his actions. If leader’s soldiers commit war crimes and the local populations see that the leader dose not act against those involved what impression dose this give to the people? Would you support a leader that condones such actions?

Most Ugandans want a good Ugandan to be head state; background/tribe is irrelevant (a good Muganda/Itesso/Karamoja president will be accepted by all citizens or any other citizen from other tribes). Some one that is capable of bringing peace, unity, stability and prosperity to all Ugandans and who dose not engage in the jungle politics of division and hatred. The head of state must be a Ugandan citizen of good character, i.e. posses the qualities of integrity, honesty. He/she must not ever forget that they are servants of citizens that put them in office.

Ayo,

I listened to RRIA reactions to Museveni\'s interview with BBC\'s Robbin White. I was surprised to note that all the discussants were Langi apart from one Jap. How representative of the Ugandan society is this considering the tribal inclinations of Uganda. ? Secondly I noted that all the discussants were praising Obote and UPC and condemning Museveni. Apart from the Acholi, why is it that the Langi in the diaspora are among the most agrieved with Museveni\'s being the leader of Uganda? Has it got something to do with their feeeling that Museveni removed power from them?

I am afraid, you guys in the diaspora are well in the way of becoming like the Russian emigres who fled Rissia after the 1917 Bolshevic revolutionary. They kept hoping that they would one day come back to power and privelege of the past. Most aged and died I exiles. Come back home guys come back home!

Gudoi,

First of all it is not true that Museveni killed Obotes\'s father. For your information Obote\'s father (may his soul rest in peace) was killed by Karimojong worriors when they rampaged across Teso, Lango, Acholi and elsewhere in the late 1980s and early 1990s. What is true is that Dr. Obote has been using the unfortunate circumstances of the death of his father to politic against Museveni. As far as public records are concerned here in Uganda, Obote\'s mother (RIP) died of natural causes. Dr. Obote himself has never accused Museveni of killing his mother nor brother. Who is Gudoi then to do it on his behalf? By the way which brother? I am aware that at the moment it is President Museveni out of humanitarian considerations who is providing for some of Obote\'s neglected relatives! Not long ago he gave Obote\'s elder brother shs. 10m for upkeep. I hear Dr. Obote never sends a dime.

So Gudoi, if Museveni had not killed Obote\'s parents as you allege, would he (Obote) have any kind words for him? Gudoi I think you are just as much a victim of Obote\'s lies as others are. The problem between Obote and Museveni is power. Obote wants power back to himself and UPC while Museveni would like to keep it all. It all about pure politick.

I did listened to Dictator Obote\'s New Year message but almost all of it was deveoted to Museveni bashing. The other bit was reserved for self praise of himself and UPC. To the most part the message was a message of doom rather that peace. I just want to ask one question: Why does Dr. Obote hate Museveni so much like that? What is the personal problem between the two? Why does Obote seem to attribute all national problems to Museveni when he himself ruled Uganda twice and failed to lay a proper foundation for the young country? Who laid a false foundation for Uganda at independence - was it Museveni or Obote?

Is it Museveni who overthrow Obote in 1985? Why did the Okellos over Obote? Did Museveni have anything to do with it.

I would appreciate if Dr. Obote or his cohorts replied to this querries.

THE UPDF MURDERS CONTINUE

It is very saddening always when we get these kinds of reports from the Northern part of our nation. Yes as the course has been all past seventeen years, Christmas was not any different in northern Uganda. Uganda People\'s Defence Force (The Uganda National Army) attacked and killed Ugandans in Northern Uganda including a woman who was bitten to her last breath. As a person who has been following the atrocities of this army in Northern Uganda, this is no longer news. But for the souls of those \"Biological substances\" who were eliminated, our conscious must demand that we all demand the international community to take all steps possible, to force NRM government to protect Ugandans and their lives.

On behalf of the Communication Group, I wish to pass my condolences to the families of Ugandans who were murdered by a force which was supposed to protect them. Please may you find comfort in the Lord\'s hand for he is the only one who can give you comfort at this time. We are very sad in deed.

This is too unfortunate for to say that a sitting president,s obligation is not to over see security in his state.

they are supossed to take care of the people and their property.

Antony,

....about tribalism as a contributory factor to the northern conflict. Again you are free to dispute this fact. However what I know is that the Acholi as a tribe in Uganda (it may not be each and every Acholi on earth) feel agrieved that Museveni robbed them a chance to rule Uganda and this is the \"raison detre\" for the Kony war. I can not beleive that you honestly think that Kony is not fighting in order to take power on behalf of the Acholi even though they may not have comissioned him to do it for them. He often says this. Do you honestly believe, Antony, that if Kony captured power today the Acholi would reject him? Me, I think and know that he would be recieved as an Acholi hero. In all honesty the desire for power is the Omega and the Alfa of the northern war. To prove this point, most of my Acholi friends - and they are quite many - tell me that they hate Museveni because he broke the the Nairobi peace Accord of 1985 which guaranteed them power in Uganda. Now the question is why were the Acholi particulary offended when Museveni failed to honour the agreement? Was the agreement between the Acholi as a tribe with Museveni or was it an agreement between the government of Uganda and the rebel Movement led by Museveni? This goes to prove that its is the quest for power that lies behind the LRA war. Finally, let me make myself clear on this: I am not opposed to an Acholi coming to power in Uganda as president. An Acholi like any other Uganda is constitutionally allowed to come to power.... but through democratic means. Period! However, I am principally opposed to any attempt at a power grab perpetuated through a brutal war such as the one that Kony is executing. This war has laid Acholi to waste and it will take another generation to reserve its effects. This is my point of departure. We must agree that Acholi like all parts of Uganda deserve peace regardless of who is in power at any one time. Secondly, I have no personal problems with the Acholi

Antony, I had always reserved a modicum of respect for you. Unfortunately your ourbusts by way of a response to my posting has changed all this. I had all along I thought that such abusive responses should be left to the likes of Mulindwa and Gwanga but unfortunately you have also added yourself to this lot. Do you really have to insult me in order to win the argument or to persuade me to think like you? Let me assure you of one thing: You can never ever force me to think and act like you but you can only persuade me. Period. Your view that my analysis of events is shallow, my views are muddeld nonses is really a matter of your opinion and I can put up with that. But your open contempt of my person that I should not hold a responsible job or that I should not even know how to surf the net in fact tells much about your character rather than mine. If I have posted my views and you do not agree with them the civilised way to go is to rebutt them with counter arguments but not to go personal and abusive as some intellectually challenged individuals usually do.
In your emotional response you did not even respond to the main issues I raised. Is it not the constitutional duty of any president in the world, Museveni inclusive, to provide security and protect his people? At no time did i discuss Museveni\'s failure or sucess in fulfiling that duty. We can debate that separately if you want but I do not understand why you drag something which I did not state and I attribute it to me. I can talk for myself on any issue. My only crime on this was to state the duty of a president. Again I never said that Acholi is not developed because of the war, rather I said that some people attribute the \"percieved\" undevelopment of Acholi to neglect of the region by the central governments since colonial times and that this is a factor in the war. You can dispute this fact but it is something to think about. On the desire by the Acholi to take power in Uganda, here I was talking about

You talk about development but what development has taken place in the region as it has been ravaged by war for so many years. Therefore if people begin to develop a perception of lack of development can you really blame them? As I understand it normal life as we know it has been disrupted for extensive periods of time. People are living in camps have seen their situation has go from good to bad to worse.
For some one living in Uganda your analysis of events is rather shallow. I mean I don’t know what your job is in Uganda but god forbid; I hope you don’t hold a responsible job because you’re not worthy. I am surprised you even know how to surf the web.

/“Museveni\'s duties as president among others is to protect and provide security to all Ugandans using the national army and other organs of the state.”/
Has this primary function required of a head of state been fulfilled? I am very surprised you can even make such a statement in spite of the over whelming evidence suggesting otherwise. The fact that Northern and Eastern Uganda is in chaos is because their government has failed miserably to provide even the most basic security. The fact that these crazy IDP camps exist in the first place is a mark of failure in its self.
In a democratic country where effective opposition exist such failures would not be tolerated.
It never ceases to amaze me they way Museveni tries to play down the seriously ness of the situation in Uganda. In his latest interview with the BBC the following question was put to him.
Q) But at the moment they [rebels] just seem to move on, you chase them in one area while they crop up somewhere else.
A) No. They have been contained. They are now in the area of Pader, a little bit of Kitgum and northeast Lira. That\'s where they are, disturbing.
Where is the evidence that this is the case, have people begun to return to their homes from the camps in those areas that have supposedly been secured? And if the precise locations of the rebels are known why not go and get them?
/“Though the role of the two individuals can not be underestimated, you have to know that there are some things that are beyond their control eg the desire by the Acholi to rule Uganda at all costs (tribalism), the perceived unequal development between the north and south, the external factor (the Sudan/SPLA conflcit) etc.”/
It’s not clear what you are trying to say here in this piece of muddled nonsense. First of all the Acholi are a people not a single individual and to describe them in such a terms is rather unfortunate.

In the paragraph of duties of your president, does your term \"All Ugandans\" include the biological substances as well? And on your second paragraph, the war in Sudan and unequal development between North and South, happened way before the coming of NRM in Uganda, why didn\'t we have a war in the North before Museveni? And lastly, when Obote one was overthrown I kept on hearing in Buganda that Buganda become very poor for Obote was channelling all moneys to Akokoro, today you are telling us that there is an unequal development between North and South, my question to you, were Baganda telling lies then or you are telling lies now?

I wsih to thank all for thei Xmas and New Year Messages especially Vahid Oloro! However, his otherwise very positive message ended up on the wrorg note when he equated Museveni to Joseph Kony. Museveni is the legitmate president of Uganda as per now and therefore he is not fighting Kony because he has a persoal problem with him. Museveni\'s duties as president among others is to protect and provide security to all Ugandans using the national army and other organs of the state. His other duty is to protect the sovereignity of Uganda. He is also mandated to keep Uganda as one entity, with one central authority, one state etc. In so doing he has to use the national army. Joseph Kony on the other hand is doing the exact opposite. He is killing people, destroying their property. Worse still he is challenging the very essence of the Ugandan state. He wants to the Ugandan state to collapse again and the anarchy of the past reigns. He is trying to take us back to the nighmarish past.

In light of the foregoing therfore, it is very unfortunate for one to equate Museveni with Kony unless of course one\'s understanding of the northern conflict is very twisted. By the way you ought to know that the dynamics of the northern war goes beyond the two individuals. Though the role of the two individuals can not be underestimated, you have to know that there are some things that are beyond their control eg the desire by the Acholi to rule Uganda at all costs (tribalism), the perceived unequal development between the north and south, the external factor (the Sudan/SPLA conflcit) etc. It is very simplistic reasonng for one to think that the northern conflcit can be ended by a boxing match between Museveni and Kony! Leave such reasoning to the late Idi Amin Dada who in 1970s invited President Nyerere to a boxing contest if that could end the problems between Uganda and Tanzania at that time.

Happy New Year!

I can bet my 2 cents on who used Museveni\'s name here.
People give us a break, these things are tra***le.
