{UAH} WHAT CAME IN AS WE WERE SLEEPING

Friends

 

The White house’s budget office has sent out a notification to all Federal agencies that the American government will shut down on Tuesday today, stating there was no indication Congress would approve a short-term funding before the midnight deadline. In a nut shell, there are about 800,000 U S Federal government workers, and they all have been instructed to remain home today due to a lack of funding from Congress. This will inconvenience every one depending on what you need to do if requires a Federal agency service. Critical parts of The American government like ATC {Air Traffic Controllers} and military will stay on the job. What some of us have failed to understand is how The Republicans expect this to help them on the health bill, personally I think it will not, but that is me. It has been 17 years since the last government shut down.

 

So this time too we are sitting and watching waiting for who will blink first trust me one is going to, the question is when.

REBEL PRA - NRA PLANS TO INVADE RWANDA.

Following the Kisangani defeat, the NRA shifted the battle front to Kampala. Verbal artillery flying between the the two capitals worsened the situation. Col. Kyakabale now exiled in Rwanda had recklessly made a public declaration of war. The NRA was bent on avenging the Kisangani defeat. The NRA Chief of Staff and former Commander of the NRA Congo Operation Safe Heven (OSH), James Kazini organised a retaliation. With full blessing of Museveni, troops and heavy artillery were positioned on strategic rised grounds along the Uganda/Rwanda border notably Ngoma in Ntugamo and Kyamugasho in Kabaale. A plan to recruit and train a force that would back up the invasion of Rwanda was hatched. The hasty recruitment drive covered only western region partly to deny PRA potential recruits. Business tycon, Hassan Basajjabalaba was contracted to transport these recruits to the former prison ground of Bihanga just behind the backyard of Museveni's Rwakitura country home. The facility had earlies been used as an arms depot for the RPF during the 4 years war of return to Rwanda and now it was a training ground for forces to dislodge them from power. Seven thousands of trainees were hoarded into the tiny training wing while a similar number also underwent training at the NRA 2nd Division Headquarters in Mbarara. Kazini replaced the head of the training wing, Col James Sebagala by his puppet Col Sula Semakula. The recruitment and training bypassed the usual NRA department of training headed by Brig. Muheesi. The flow of funding and logistics for this crush programe moved from Kazini (the Chief of Staff) to Col. Potel Kivuna who was the 2nd Division Commander in Mbarara. 

Besides the training of recruits, Kazini assembled a War Team headed by Col. Mugyenyi Gavas and assisted by Captain Njumba and a few others to draw a war plan. To conceal their activities they operated from College Inn Hotel in Wandegeya. The Army Commander, Gen. JJ Odong was not made aware of these plans. When Museveni appointed Kazini as the Army Commander to replace JJ Odong, the then NRA spokesman Maj. Keitirima publicly stated that "the outgoing Army Commander had been leaking army secrets". During the handover ceremony, JJ Odong stated that "the higher a monkey goes up the tree, the more it exposes its behind". He further cautioned that "let us not be like grasshoppers who start biting each other and forget the one who put them in a bottle." Indeed Kazini climbed higher and the last time he exposed his behind was in a sitting room of a prostitute where his slain body lay. The Justice Porter Commission into NRA conduct in the Congo had recommended disciplinary action against Kazini for "shaming the name of Uganda". Instead Museveni rewarded him with an elavation to the position of Army Commander. 
Museveni knew about and blessed all these designs by Kazini. 

The Congolese betrayed patriotic Ugandans who had taken up arms against the Museveni dictatorship. After the first set back near Aboro Hills in Ituri, the boys were not detere. Kayihura must have beem amazed by the mere sight of a senior Lawyer and High Court Advocate, the late Sam Okiring (RIP) wielding a Light Machine Gun (LMG) in the forests of the Congo. The presence of two Doctors, Dr. Julius Muhumuza and the injured Dr Wilbroad Okung must have sent him whispering into Museveni's ear that the "this is a mass uprising". But moreso, the composition of the rebel rank and file that had a national character. Compared to his NRA in 1981 that had westerners, the group was composed of people from all corners of the country. The captives while still recovering from the shock of being stabbed in the back by their congolese hosts coupled by the onsight slaughter of some of their comrades, they just revealed to CMI all the information that they had except one issue. None of them could accurately pinpoint Dr. Besigye as having been their leader. The nearest they came was to state that while they were in Kigali they had at one time been told to expect a very distinguished guest but the visit was cancelled at the last hour. On that basis they simply speculated that it could have been Dr. Besigye. With this development, CMI and Museveni in particular were very upset and dissappointed ar they had nothing to incriminate Dr. Besigye - their main target. Interestingly, before even Museveni could recieve the interrogation report, a draft copy of the same was already being studied having been flown out through Entebbe airport. 

The two captive Doctors sneaked out of CMI's hands and fled the country. The rest were detained without trial in the hope that they would confess and seek amnesty that would be used to implicate Dr. Besigye. The boys never gave in. The purpose of this revealation is to show that the situation then gave rise to a popular armed uprising that was national in character. It is now a decade since then and the situation has grown from worse to irreparably worst. History will repeat itself.

{UAH} US generals forced to retire over Taliban attack-this is what we call accountability.

US generals forced to retire over Taliban attack

An inquiry criticised Maj Gen Gurganus, left, and Maj Gen Sturdevant

The head of the US Marine Corps has ordered two generals to retire because they failed to defend Camp Bastion in Afghanistan from a Taliban attack.

Gen James Amos said Maj Gen Charles Gurganus and Maj Gen Gregg A Sturdevant "did not take adequate force protection measures" to stop the 2012 assault.

Two Marines died and eight other personnel were wounded.

The Taliban also destroyed six Marine Harrier fighter jets and badly damaged several others.

Fourteen of the 15 attackers were killed and one was captured. US Marines and UK Royal Air Force gunners were involved in the counter-attack.

In June, Gen Amos asked US Central Command to carry out an investigation and said he decided to take action against the two generals after reviewing the results of that inquiry.

Continue reading the main story

What is Camp Bastion?

• Major transit centre with a large airfield, accommodates 28,000 mostly British personnel
• Set up in 2006, now covers an area of about eight square miles
• A logistical support centre for front-line troops, it also has a substantial field hospital

• Inside Camp Bastion

Endorsing the inquiry's findings, Gen Amos wrote: "While I am mindful of the degree of difficulty the Marines in Afghanistan faced in accomplishing a demanding combat mission with a rapidly declining force, my duty requires me to remain true to the timeless axioms relating to command responsibility and accountability."

He added that Gen Gurganus bore "final accountability" for the lives and equipment under his command, and had made "an error in judgment" in underestimating the risk posed by the Taliban in the Bastion area of Helmand province.

Gen Amos said that Gen Sturdevant - who was in charge of Marine aviation in the region - "did not adequately assess the force protection situation".

Gen Amos asked both men to retire on Monday, speaking personally to Gen Gurganus at the Pentagon and by video conference to Gen Sturdevant, a Marine Corps official told Reuters news agency.

Both men agreed to the request, the official added.

Gen Amos also recommended to the Navy secretary that Gen Gurganus' nomination for promotion to the rank of Lieutenant General be rescinded and that Gen Sturdevant receive a letter of censure.

Correspondents say it is a rare public reprimand of senior US military officers.

Following the announcement, Gen Gurganus issued a brief statement saying he felt privileged to have served in the Marine Corps for 37 years.

"I will treasure that forever. I have complete trust and confidence in the leadership of our Corps and fully respect the decision of our commandant," he said.

Bastion is one of the biggest camps in Afghanistan with a perimeter of 37km (22 miles).

{UAH} SOMALIAN QUESTION IN UGANDA VS RWANDESE QUESTION IN KENYA

Colonial boundary demarcations placed Kisoro district on the Ugandan side and Ruhengeri province on the Rwanda side. The people of Kisoro became Bafumbira while those of Ruhengeri remained Rwandese of the Bakiga Hutu ethinic group. Late President Habyarimana was a Mukiga Hutu. In Kisoro among the Bafumbira are both Hutus and minority Tutsis. Rwandese migrantion into Uganda in search of land hightened during the early 20th Century. This migration involved both Tutsis and Hutus searching for pasture and arable land respectively. This group settled and assimilated with local communities in the western and central regions. Majority especially the Hutus lost their Rwandese identity while the Tutsi kept their identity a closely guarded family secret. In the early 1990s during a funeral vigil 
at Gen Aronda's residence on Buganda Road, close family mourners broke into Kinyarwanda hymns leaving many other onlookers bemused.
In 1959 a new wave of Tutsis fled Rwanda into Uganda as refugees. They were settled in refugee camps in Tooro and Ankole. Those with the means managed to leave these camps, acquire land, education and accumulated wealth. The economicaly disabled remained in the camps but enjoyed equal social services with nationals. Uganda's weak immigration laws made it easy for both the Rwandese immigrants and refugees to access goverment jobs in the civil and security services. It was not easy to distinguish a Munyankole Hima from a Rwandese Tutsi on one hand and a Ugandan Mufumbira from a Rwandese migrant or refugee on the other hand. Museveni knowingly used these refugees in his NRA wars.

In 1990, Rwandese Tutsi refugees in the NRA invaded Rwanda. Many remained in the NRA where they continue to serve todate. The RPF invaded through a hostile teritory of Uganda's Kisoro district where the majority Bafumbira are Hutus and were sympathetic to the Habyarimana regime. Many other Rwandese Tutsis in Congo, Tanzania, Burundi and even the diaspora flocked into Uganda to join hands with the RPF invasion. The likes of ICC's Ntaganda and Nkunda who are now climing to be Congolese were in the RPF fighting the Hutu government of Rwanda. After the RPF took over power many Rwandese Tutsi in Uganda simply moved en masse with their cattle and returned to Rwanda. The government, UNHCR and other aid agencies were not involved in the repatriation. Earlier on, these Tutsi refugees has kind of been naturalised by the NRM regime. Imagine a refuge camp where most of the adult males are members of the army of the host government. Deputy Army Comander, Director of Medical services, Director of intelligence, Brigade and Batallion Comanders, District commissioners etc were all registered refugees and would visit the camp in military helicopters and escorted by machine guns.

Those who had established themselves outside the camps did not bother to return but are well represented in the Rwanda government by some family members. It is very common to find scenarios like a Ugandan Nurse in Mulago Hospital having a brother who is a Colnel in the Rwanda army while another brother is a State Attorney in Uganda and the father is a teacher in Uganda as an uncle is Rwanda's Ambassador to Canada. That is why during the early days many top Rwandese Tutsi officials in the Rwanda government would invest their savings and send their children to school in Uganda. Also, many of those who had returned to Rwanda en masse returned and settled in Uganda after finding the going not easy in Rwanda. During the time Kagame was a Vice President in Rwanda, Kayihura and Aronda would facilitate him to sneak out of Rwanda, visit Museveni or even transit through Uganda before sneaking back without the knowledge of the then figurehead Hutu President of Rwanda. In this way, when Museveni brought on board the likes of Kaihura and Aronda at the helm of security in Uganda, definetely the souring relations between the two countries were cemented.

It has always been speculated that Museveni is a Rwandese. During the new constitution making process, Museveni managed to push through a provision that introduced Banyarwanda as one indigenous tribes of Uganda. The deal was sealed and Saleh who had all along been refered to as his half brother now became a full brother. Amazingly, no Munyarwanda is willing to openly identify him/herself as one. They commonly identify themselves as Banyankole. Calling him a Munyarwanda amounts to secterianism. Beyond Kigezi, Ankole and some parts of western Uganda, the communities there cant differenciate betwen Hima and Tutsi pastrolists instead they simply generalise them as Balaalo. These gun wielding 'Balalos' have been a problen to the host comunities. Museveni only sends in his NRA Generals to quell the land conflicts without explaining how and why these Balaalos came to be armed with automatic rifles. No doubt, as is the case with the Banyamulenge of Congo, these Banyarwanda of Uganda owe their allegiance to the Tutsi regime in Rwanda.

{UAH} Emmanuel Tumusiime-Mutebile: The planned introduction of the East African Monetary Union

Here is the link;

http://www.bis.org/review/r130923a.pdf

Conclusion

The introduction of a monetary union is undoubtedly the most challenging project ever 

undertaken at the regional level in East Africa. The difficulties and risks involved should not 

be underestimated. The potential long term benefits of monetary union are large. If the 

monetary union is designed well and implemented properly, it should contribute to faster 

growth in trade, productivity, jobs and output over several decades. But the benefits will not 

be realized unless partner states are prepared to undertake the radical reforms necessary to 

put in place the essential foundations for monetary union, which include the implementation 

in full of the common market within the EAC and the establishment of rules based sound 

fiscal policies

Uganda bank governor criticises Museveni 'Marxism'

By Katrina Manson in Kampala

The twin architects of Uganda's quarter-century economic revival – Yoweri Museveni, president, and Emmanuel Tumusiime-Mutebile, central bank governor – are increasingly at loggerheads as erratic policy undermines the discipline on which the country's return from war and turmoil has depended.

"There will be no inflation. Inflation is indiscipline," Mr Museveni declared in 1992 as Uganda embarked on two decades of growth averaging 6.9 per cent a year. The country's relative economic success after years of conflict won it plaudits from donors and so much aid that it sometimes struggled to spend the cash.

Yet today as inflation has ramped up – Uganda has the highest rates in east Africa, with food crop inflation reaching 44 per cent in the year to May – donors, economists and the thousands of citizens protesting the cost of living wonder whether discipline remains.

Mr Tumusiime-Mutebile is credited with having persuaded Mr Museveni to abandon Marxism and its price and currency controls, and in the process reduce annual inflation from 240 per cent to single-digits.

In a rare critique of the increasingly autocratic president who took power in 1986, the central bank governor told the Financial Times that, despite being "very courageous", Mr Museveni's continued embrace of "elements of Marxism" was undermining the economy.

He cited several factors that were causing problems between him and the former guerrilla leader, including a planned $2.2bn hydropower plant, a policy to spur population growth, a swath of questionable tax exemptions and woeful agricultural performance.

"He gave me some promises which he has not kept – like a way to redress the reserves. I'm still fighting with him," he said of the government's controversial decision to turn to the central bank to help finance $720m for fighter jets. This sent reserves down from six months' worth of imports to four.

Donors including the World Bank, UK and Ireland have reduced or withheld direct support, which makes up 26 per cent of this year's budget, down from a high of 50 per cent, and the Netherlands will cut it altogether next year, citing a failure to fight corruption, threats to fiscal credibility and a waning commitment to poverty reduction.

Despite a rapid drop in the poverty rate – from 56 per cent in 1992 to 24.5 per cent today – there are more poor Ugandans now than when Mr Museveni took power, because of policies aimed at increasing the labour force and market.

"The extremely high population . . . growth is one of the major things I oppose him about," said Mr Tumusiime-Mutebile, who was also dismayed by an unexplained collapse in fuel reserves and a lack of progress in modernising agriculture.

"Our output is heaven-made, but it should be man-made," he said.

Uganda is set to become a significant oil producer in the coming years but has fallen foul of its one-time champion, the International Monetary Fund. Mr Tumusiime-Mutebile found it "very, very humiliating" that it failed an IMF programme review for the first time this year.

"They passed a supplementary budget which was not consistent with the programme that we had just agreed, right before the election," Thomas Richardson, IMF representative in Uganda, said of the last-minute $250m allotment, much of it for the presidency, before February's election returned Mr Museveni to power with 68 per cent of the vote. European Union observers noted widespread distribution of money and gifts by the ruling party during the polls.

Despite his concerns, the central bank governor said Mr Museveni had shown courage in choosing not to introduce export controls, adding that there was "no alternative" to Mr Museveni in "this economy".

A reply to Odhiambo T. Oketch of Kamarock, Nairobi: By Sheme Chemangey Masaba

A reply to Odhiambo T. Oketch of Kamarock, Nairobi: By Sheme Chemangey Masaba

Dear Friend,
Migingo is only a one-acre barren rock that is not worth shedding anybody's blood, even before who owns it has been clarified. Kenya claims its ownership so does Uganda and both are not wrong because since independence our countries have not taken the trouble to authenticate their borders.
Migingo dispute should not have arisen if we had done so and I think it is a shock reminder that we should reexamine our colonial borders. 
Kenya and Uganda have been and are still friendly neighbors and our economies are so dependent on each other's that a war between us would destroy our two economies.
Some of you Kenyan brothers seem to be highly incensed by what you view as Museveni's expansionism to the extent that you blame your Commander-in-Chief,Mr Kibaki, for not using the army to drive out Ugandans from the disputed island. Interestingly, though, many other Kenyans view the Migingo saga as a storm in a teacup. They are right because that is what it is.
If Kenya sent in the troops, obviously Uganda would reinforce its presence on the island and a confrontation would ensue. Ugandans know what war means: indiscriminate destruction of life and property which words alone are not enough to describe. 
Fortunately, you Kenyans have not had to face such a situation, which is why you have a stable and a much more developed industrial base than ours. 
Uganda is your major trading partner in the area. In fact, the trade is in favor of Kenya because we import so much from you. A war and the usual propensity for mischief, especially the uprooting of the railways, by the Kenyan youth, like they did following the disputed presidential elections in December 2007, would destroy this trade and the repercussions would be felt as far as Southern Sudan, Eastern DRC, Rwanda and Burundi. 
I wish to remind you that many of us sought refuge in Kenya during the days of Amin Dada and we were warmly accepted. Following the December disputed elections in your country, many of your fellow citizens sought refuge in Uganda and, as you must be aware, they were openly welcomed.
There are Kenyans who have settled in Uganda and others hold employment in various sectors of our economy. Many Kenyan students attend our secondary schools and universities. 
Only last year Kenyan students at Makerere University almost rioted, protesting high fees. They did not see why they were being charged fees paid by foreign students. The government explained that until there was a common policy on East African students they would have to be treated as aliens and therefore pay the same fees paid by other foreign students. After all, our students in your universities pay much more than Kenyan students for their education.
Ugandans were amused but not annoyed to see foreigners ready to burn down Makerere University. Had Ugandan students in Nairobi or Dar es Salaam attempted to do that they would have been arrested, beaten up and expelled from the country. It did not happen in Uganda.
Some Kenyans, including your press, have also been accusing Uganda of annexing Kacheliba, an area that borders Karamoja of Uganda. Both the Pokot in Kenya and the Karamojong in Uganda are notorious cattle raiders and the presence of Ugandan army has actually reduced the spate of cattle rustling. Your information in this is clearly out of step with reality. 
We have been talking of an East African Community that would allow our people to cross borders unhindered and work wherever they happen to work and, if small issues like the Migingo affair can generate so much heat, then it is obvious that we are not ready for the federation. If we cannot sit and calmly resolve our disputes now, I cannot see how a federation will withstand frictions that are likely to arise. 
Migingo has clearly shown that East Africans need to do much more to cement social and economic ties before they attempt a political federation.

{UAH} BESIGYE, TINYE AND SSEBAGALA VS MUSEVENI.

The former controversial Mayor of Kampala City, Naser Ntege Ssebagala supported the opposition against Museveni during the 2001 presidential elections. Ssebagala had defeated two of the Museveni sponsored candidates for the mayoral race. Ssebagala had won on the ticket of the traditional anti-Museveni Kampala dwellers more especially the urban unemployed youth and the common low income people.

During the controvercial 2001 elections in which Dr. Besigye gave Museveni a tough challenge, Ssebagala was a symbol of opposition in Kampala city which proved to be an opposition stronghold. During the 1996 elections Kampala city had also demonstrated opposition to Museveni in favour of Paul Ssemwogerere. Then Captain Hudsom Mukasa - Muganda Commanding Officer of the then Mbuya based 7th Batallion had to be reprimanded when it was discoved that his unit was sympathetic to the opposition. Indeed as the Unit was ordered out Kampala, the convoy bemused residents when it chantet pro-opposition songs thus Ssemogerere gira ofuganda Museveni tumukoye.

During 2001 elections Naser Ssebagala while attendinding Hon Ken Lukyamuzi's wedding publicly predicted that the elections would end up in a rerun and then Museveni would loose. He warned that if Museveni refused to hand over power, he would be overthrown by peoples protests citing the case of Yugoslavia's Slobadan Milosevic. As the polling day drew nearer, it became clear that Mayor Ssebagala was busy mobilising his youth brigades in Kampala to storm the city with protests immediately after the resusts would show that Museveni had won. Museveni who was by then residing in the city centre panicked alot. At the time the Police had not yet become a branch of his NRA. His security detail was still manned by the somehow ethinically balanced PPU and had not yet detached itself from the mainstream Army. Above all Col Besigye had claimed that he had 90% support of the army and Museven had threatened to send him six feet underground. Museveni's intelligence estimates indicated that Mayor Nasser Ssebagala's plans of youth protests was a formidable threat. Museveni sanctioned Gen Tinyefuza to talk to Ssebagala with view of convicing him to abandon the youth protests. On the eve of the elections Tinyefuza drove to Ssebagala's residence in Bugolobi in the evening. After a lengthy meeting a deal was reached for the Lord Mayor to abandon the planned protests. Ssebagala without giving reason communicated to the youth who had been on standby to standdown. Museveni at the time breathed a sigh of relief but embarked on a long task of barricading himself against future popular protests. 

Following the post 2011 election protests in Kampala, Museveni is hiding behind the cover of modernising the city to get rid of potential protesters. The desgination of Kampala as an autonomous Authority, the creation of the position of the Executive Director, undermining the Lord Mayor and plans to expand Kampala into the teritory of Buganda are all long term manouvers of recapturing Kampala city from being an opposition stronghold. The current controvercial moves to rid the city centre of vendors, bodaboda riders and the common urban unemployed youths coupled by preventive detention of opposition leaders are all desperate manouvers to disable their ease of mobility into an Arab Spring kind of resistance. Museveni believes that at the slightest blink of the eye, Dr. Besigye can lead protesters to take over the city centre hence the 24 hours security survallance around him. 

Museveni's worry is that should such a scenarior arise, his security forces will quell it after killing hundreds of the protesters. In turn he will be made a subject of ICC indictment. Hower, if he succeeds in manipulating the AU into withdrawing from the ICC, he will have a free day in gruesomely comitting human rights violations unabetted. He is aware that he has already comitted indictable attrocities in Uganda. He is also aware that he is not yet spared from the ICC indictment over attrocities in the Congo thus the hasty championing of a withdrawing from the ICC by African countries. Criminal proceedings are never time bared. Gadafi survived the ICC but was indicted by God.

{UAH} BUTARE BORN, TANZANIAN EDUCATED, UGANDAN DICTATOR AND SEBAKABAK, MEET THE EAC FIRST PRESIDENTIAL HOPEFUL.

Like all other oppressive regimes around the world, Museveni too was taken by suprise when NATO directly intervened in Libya. Dictators all over had got used to mere condemnations, sanctions, travel bans and at worst unenforceable UN resolutions. Such actions only affect the citizens with little impact on the dictator and his cohorts. This is exactly what Museveni has always refered to as "Kahendekye teita mbogo" literally meaning that merely wishing a buffalo to break its leg does not guarantee its death. 

Such dictatorial regimes believed that so long as they have built personal armies to keep them in power, there is nothing the oppressed masses could do to free themselves. They exploit the international law of non interference in the internal affairs of a sovereign state. If the oppressed masses try to rise up they are brutally suppressed and branded reactionaries, negative forces and terrorists. 

When Museveni was fighting, his ideology clearly stated that he was struggling against agents of Western Imperialism. He refered to the Israelis as Zionists ane the West and USA as imperialists. These were the core subjects in his schools of indoctrination refered to as political schools that produced Cadres. During his armed war, his role models were Chairman Mao, Fidel Castrol, Comrade Joseph Stalin etc. Gadafi supported Museveni during the bush war with logistical and training opportunities. After taking over power, his cadres were ferried to Libya day and night for political indoctrination. Thousands of Copies of Gadafi's Green Book and other Jamahiria literatures were the major resource materials in the NRA political schools. Though he stated that he was pro-Uganda, there is no doubt Musevendi was pro-East. During the early days of his taking over government, Cuba, Soviet Union and North Korea were the major destinations for his Cadres training. Two intakes of Intelligence training - one led by Paul Kagame and another led by Dhamuzungu Oguli were in Cuba. The North Koreans conducted the first Military Intelligence course at Kireka. Among those that attended was Rwanda's Jack Nziiza. Long courses of upto five years were conducted by Soviet Union and attended by among others Major Mambo Bazarrabusa. Batter trade between Cuba and Uganda failed in its infancy. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, Museveni switched sides. He excelled as an ally of the West first against the spread of Islamic fundamentalism from Khartoum and later agaist global fight against terrnrism. With the emergence of China on the world stage, Museveni and his club members are now attacking the west left and right. 

It is Gadafi who promoted Museveni's son Muhoozi to the rank of Major. During the same occassion, Gadafi made a statement to the effect that revolutionaries dont leave power. However, as usual Museveni opposed Gadafi on the African Union because he wanted the East African Union in anticipation of being its first President. 

It is against this background that when NATO intervened in Libya, Museveni stated thus "this military intervention by the West is a new phenomena......and if that is the case now, we shall have another Vietnam". Shortly after, he left for Moscow to meet Putin. He must be very supportive of Syria's Assaad and his Moscow backers. The world should also pick interest in what is taking place in his Luwero Military Industries to avoid a future catastrophe. There is a reason he had to deploy his close confidant Brig. James Mugina as the Managing Director of the same industries. He is currently moblising African states against the ICC which he knows will at one time indict him. It is unfortunate the west embrassed him without reservations. With his current influence among Somalis right from the time of his close friend and War lord Muhamad Farrah Ideed, he will be able to attack and inflict damage on any of the western interests anywhere. By the time the west realises, it will be costly in terms of human and logistical resources. 

Museveni therefore playing hide and seek between east and west in order to make them clash. To be able to apprehend this argument, a Syria like situation is likely to emerge in Uganda, and then you will see how he plays about the west against the east and vice versa.

That is so true, they were however caught in the act filing for candidates who did not submit documents as per their guidelines, an undisputed fact, which questions our legitimacy,not only the UNAA President but toxic to the entire process.

Edriss,

That there are people in the UNAA Community who have not recognized the UNAA Election Results as announced by the EC is a statement we can all agree on.

Notwithstanding; The UNAAEC, a independent body empowered by the UNAA Constitution to vent and nominate candidates, announce the results; did its job (we all have opinions on what they should or should not have done), and life will move on, irrespective of what we choose to beleive.

Long before this constitution came into play, and when unaa was threatened with legal issues with the , I had suggested to create a unaa legal fund, then a fund of purpose was set up when another organisation was registered with a name similar to unaa, a number of peo op le contributed to that fund.

(1) Rahim vs UNAA fund, I will not be in position to assist. Here, the UNAA EC 2013 can jointly sue the BOT for the oversight they provided, and I do not think they will be of funds.

(2) However,  UNAA vs Rahim and agents, sure, that fund can be set up

Agreed. Yeah why not setup a legal fund seeing that this whole thing is going in that direction!

You in support Edriss?
