{UAH} IDDI AMIN NEVER TARGETED LANGIs/ACHOLIs, THEY TARGETED HIM { ---------Series fourteen }

Friends

 

In the series I have posted so far, I have managed to show how violent Acholi are and how they permanently stood in the way of Idi Amin's government but shared with him the murder of Ugandans. Acholis were the back bone of Uganda National Liberation Front which fought its way out of Tanzania to Uganda but removed Iddi Amin from power. Acholis were fundamental in both installing The Obote two government, as well as  removing it.  The crimes committed by Acholis under Obote II, especially in West Nile and Luwero triangle,  is well documented particularly in Buganda . They were responsible for installing Yoweri Museveni in  power the government they blame during the day, but goes to bed with at night. Ladies and gentlemen who are these people who have so many different colors that if you talk about one of the colors or more you are branded a criminal? Acholis are a very few people, only a mere 4% of the entire Uganda population, so how do they manage to accomplish all that when they are that few? How did only 4% of the entire population an example,  manipulate us as Ugandans to drive our trucks into Gulu and ended up crippling an elected government? To get an answer to those questions this series is going to address what creates an Acholi family. Who is an Acholi and how does he/she build his family. On record, I am not going to go back into history of how Acholi tribe got created and how it ended up in Uganda for we have studied that in our entire national history, what I am going to write today is based on what we managed to find when we worked into the region and for many years.

 

When we get children as Baganda we educate them and bring them up with an open mind, so they get educated and left with a choice of what they want to do. Go to school get education and whatever your head is capable to do end up doing it. Acholis actually bring up their children to only do two things {a} go to Kampala be a politician and fight to lead Uganda or end up a politician or {b} if you cannot be a politician to lead Uganda join the armed forces.  This upbringing is so serious in an Acholi family that in the home there are only two occasions which makes an Acholi family sit on a table. To eat a meal and also to listen to the news. In all tribes we have in Uganda it is only Acholi parents that sit with their children to listen to the news no matter what age, and they end up discussing the issues read for the day, and this is done as on a daily basis. Acholi children are brought up politically radicalized and by force. An Acholi parent does not shelter his children from anything that happens in a home as long as it is politically inclined, because that is a duty of that child for he/she is an Acholi. And here is a very good example as I quote Mr. George Okello "If Luwum said he knew Acholis were planning a coup (actually rebellion or uprising), who else in Uganda did not know this? Even me as a 5 year old child knew that many Acholi and Langi men and women were secretly being recruited to go to Sudan or Tanzania to fight against the regime. I know this because one night, 28 young men from Dokolo were recruited by Commanders Mary Ogwal and  Aol, in my father's bedroom and we were sworn to total secrecy never to tell anyone about it." –George Okello.  End quote. To you as a Muganda parent, to you as a Musoga parent, to you as a Mukiga parent, to you as a Jap parent, to you as an Alur parent yes we all join but follow political issues in our country, but who risks a God damn 5 year old child to a site of people being recruited to go and get trained to murder people? How do you allow your own child at age 5 to witness such, but most importantly you involve him into this mission that much to a point of swearing him to a total secrecy at age 5. Who swears a 5 year old to secrecy but an Acholi parent? He is a firkin five year old, and he needs to be protected from such. And yet to Acholis this is an honor and the children must be radicalized in everything political from birth. It is important to not as well that George Okello who is in London, has limited his daughter to only becoming a leader of UPC. Even though this kid is no longer in the Dokolo Ghettos, even though  this kid is in UK but she has only one future,  to be a leader of UPC in Uganda house and end up a Uganda leader.

 

Let us go on numbers to understand what politics means to Acholis, for numbers have never abandoned me. I am going to use the numbers out of 1996 presidential election and use Apach district as an example. In that election 169,583 votes were cast in Apach district. Now watch this, Kibaale 98,801.  Bundibugyo 53,819. Hoima 68,000. Jinja 100,617. Kalangala 7,068. Kapchorwa 51,734. Kasese 123,788. Kiboga 51,526. Kisoro 73,711. Kotido 45,587. Kumi 96,087 Luwero 150,127. Masindi 87,977. Moroto 43,662. Moyo 46,840. Nebbi 112,732. Ntungamo 134, 379. Paliisa 133,190. Rakai 121,156. Soroti 161,029. All Districts I have so listed got fewer voters than Apach for to Apach citizen voting is the only ultimatum. I can use  Gulu, I can use KItgum and I can use any I so need, same results.  If you want to compare Apach to major metropolitans, Apach had 169,583 voters and Kampala the capital had 284,759,  they almost beat Kampala the national capital. That is how Acholis regard Uganda politics and that is how they are involved in their 4% of the entire population. I know friends that were in the police force and they hated recruiting in Acholi-land for the entire tribe shows up to join.

 

Because Acholis are brought up to only lead Uganda or be in armed forces, they are the only tribe that is mostly born out of district. Almost 85% of Acholis are born out of Acholi and that for some reason limits them from cultural contacts let alone upbringing. And you can easily find a one claiming to be an Acholi yet born in Karamoja. How did that happen? The mother was the DC. When you go to Buganda you will see a family with a son in the army and only one son, but because the life of Acholis is only limited to leading Uganda or being in the armed forces, Acholis are the only tribe that you can find from the entire Uganda where a grandfather was in the army, the father was in the army, the son is in the army, and the grand son is in the army. The nephew the cousin the uncle and the step sister are also all in the army. I have seen very many members complaining about the communication styles used by some of the Acholis in the forum, I need to remind you that many actually grew up in military barracks establishments, they thus missed the set-up of public and social communication training. When you pull them out of a barracks and put them into a setting as UAH, they will have a whole trouble adjusting to communicating and public address. They are brought up that way. Let us never ever forget that it took a human being 5,000 years to domesticate a God damn cat.
