{UAH} BLOOD THIRSTY OBOTE/OKELLO SAVAGES IN ACTION: GENOCIDE

"Obote's UNLA troops set out to massacre the local populace by locking
them in their huts and setting them on fire.

This, in addition to looting any movable articles, destroying food
stores and desecrating places of worship and burial grounds.

Some of the soldiers reportedly arranged for their relatives to come
along from Acholi and Lango to assist with the looting, especially of
livestock.

The end of each cycle of the massacre was marked by
victory parades accompanied by music from Acholi flutes.

A common scene following the orgies of violence was that of jubilant
Acholis clad in belts festooned with the genitals of
innocent civilians."
