[UAH] Q.Q.: "I don’t know where this poverty is taking us,"

"I don't know where this poverty is taking us,"

said aUgandan police officer, one of the first to arrive at the scene - here

 

Excerpts:

Whereas the urge to get free fuel could have been birthed by poverty-induced desperation, as enunciated by a law enforcement officer, some witnesses faulted greed and carelessness of the victims.....

Somali owners of the ill-fated tanker arrived yesterday afternoon with another truck to drain the remaining fuel in the damaged one, whose driver survived....

"We are still handling a critical situation, and cannot talk about this tragedy," one who declined to identify himself said. The air was saturated with smell of burnt grass, fuel and filth, making for a suffocating breathe...

Quick money
Ms Lillian Nabuja, a nearby resident, said one of the excited boda riders brought to her home fuel in a jerrycan, which he sold to a visitor, and returned immediately to scoop more. "They were making quick money, I think," she said. The man never made it back....

As families take in the loss of their loved ones, or deplete their cash reserves to save the lives of the survivors, the country will leap to the next to-be tragedy and only refer to Namungoona incident for as much official statistics.

And soon, it will be manifest whether Ugandans – some of who steal from accident victims - have learned a lesson or forgotten everything about playing with fuel.

Ikanos Doyen:

RIP in peace, soul - departed citizens

and recovery prayers for all the injured.

History hopefully will make exception of

not repeating self i.e.

 

The incident almost reminds of the looting

sprees in our Uganda after the 1979 & '85

military take-over coups, amidst gunfires!
