[UAH] Monitor Lessons!

The bosses at the Monitor and all the staff should be asking themselves a number of questions.

Is it worthwhile writing the 'truth everyday"?

Are they just about making money?

Is self censorship worth it given the fact that they have been doing it but have still got kicked in the teeth?

Is their service to the country worth all the hassles they get?

Are they providing a good service that no one else is giving?

Will their legacy for telling the truth outlive the brutality (and or the brutal Government) they are facing?

Are they on the side of right?

Will their oppressors live forever?

Do they have the interests of Ugandans at heart?

Is what they are writing of interest to Ugandans? etc.

Remember Martin Luther must have felt like an ant with many huge boots hovering over him as he faced the mighty Catholic Church when he pinned his 95 theses on the doors of the Wittenberg Cathedral! 

Ugandans may be too cowardly to stand by you right now but one day they will realize what a great battle you fought to uphold their freedom to express themselves!
