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

Friends

 

In 2014 we as society have got a very good understanding on how the HIV virus operates but survives. It is transmitted through bodily fluids transmission/exchange, either through sexual contact or contaminated needle usage. We as well know that it is not air-borne and cannot be transmitted by a simple kiss. We as well know that it is currently a controllable disease and many live through it and live a productive full life. When Iddi Amin's government was removed out of power come 1979, Uganda was HIV free country. As Acholis came from Tanzania we started to get a massive infection in areas that they took control of, and it came in following them as they moved from Mutukula devastating massively many villages all way from Mutukula, Rakai, Kyotera into Masaka. The death toll especially Rakai and Kyotera was devastating for it was not only killing individuals but erasing entire homes from villages to villages. On driving from village to village  one would find little pieces of clothes tied on doorways from house to house as a sign that this house was erased, and that house was erased by the disease. Because we never knew what was HIV various names of the cause of death in the region were used, for example Mukenenya or Kakendeeza. Bottom line families after families were infected by an unknown disease start to shrink but die amass. Today we know it was HIV and in this series I need to raise a couple of very important points on how these Ugandans we just neglected but died. In so doing I am going to be using what we did not know then in combination to what we currently know about the monster disease.

 

There are very troubling issues about the HIV cluster in Kyotera and Rakai, it is bothersome to find its original starting point, for to argue that it came with Tanzanian soldiers, at a time there was never an HIV known cluster in Tanzania, there were very many Acholis and Langis that were camped into Tanzania who came back to Uganda, if there was a cluster in Tanzania, then it would have exploded in Northern Uganda than in Rakai and Kyotera. But we would have got a very large number of Tanzanian soldiers infected yet they were not, this cluster just showed up in Rakai and Kyotera and devastated the area massively. It as well did not develop going back to Tanzania, or we would have got a massive deaths In Tanzania as we did in the Uganda cluster yet we did not see that happening either. When you agree that it is a sexually transmitted disease, then it should have happened in urban centers where there was a massive sexual activity, places like Kampala, Jinja, Iganga, Masaka, Mbarara let alone Fort Portal. There was a  great joke as we lived in Uganda that the moment you leave Masaka and head into Kyotera without a girl you will never get any woman until when you get out. This is because that region was a true Baganda culturally built region, one man one wife based and very highly religiously Catholic, that no one would even dare to date any one. It is a known fact that Rakai and Kyotera produced the most virgin women in the country for there was hardly any sexual activity in the region, for it was a very Catholic based region, and yet that is the very place HIV decided to massively devastate.

 

If you use an argument that foreigners introduced it to the society, then it would have started from places like Bugiri Iganga Busembatia where you owned a massive in transit population, but at a time, Uganda Tanzania boarder was closed almost throughout Amin's government, so we had absolutely no population movement from Tanzania to Uganda until when the boarder was forcefully opened by the war. There are move very troubling factors on the Rakai Kyotera cluster, if HIV is sexually transmitted, then today we would have got HIV orphans from Rakai and Kyotera. In every family you look at you have the parents that are sexually active, but the children are not sexually active, so one would expect the parents to die of the uncontrolled disease, but the children would have remained alive for they are not sexually active. The cluster of Rakai and Kyotera wiped out entire families, the fathers died, the mothers died, how do you explain the deaths of the children who were between the age of 5 to age 15 at the removal of Iddi Amin? They were too old to breast feed but they were too young to be sexually active, why did it kill them? Why did it kill Grandparents that were senior citizens at the exit of Iddi Amin? Were we screwing 60's 70's 80's and 90 year olds in Uganda? And all I am trying to argue here is the connection in the family structure of the connection in infection that happens in a family of an infected family so that a father dies, a mother dies, and all children die with the grandparents dying, were the parents screwing their own children and their parents to infect them, and then the entire generations in the family ends up wiped out? And this happened in a region so religiously controlled and has the least sexual activity, how does this make sense to you? And yet tens of thousands of Ugandans,  most of whom were Baganda,  lost their lives under the disease which just decided to show up in the area as soon as Acholis took control over it?                          -> {Quite bizarre} is the term I must incorporate term here.

 

Friends the HIV cluster in Kyotera is a very complex issue that I cannot dare write about, for when I use common sense and the knowledge we have today about the disease my reasoning simply does not add up, yet tens of thousands of our people especially Baganda lost their lives, and we simply closed  off their villages and we walked away, the war continued on to Kampala, the cluster remained in Kyotera and Rakai never devastating the rest of the country as it so did in the source, till when we started to control the disease and then rebuilt the region. What seems to make sense out of what we know  is that it is true HIV is largely sexually transmitted, but the very original cluster in Kyotera was manually transmitted, and when it reached into the population, we transmitted it sexually then it started to spread as a wild fire. That cluster has absolutely no origin but to just show up in areas that Amin lost control because there is no backward infection in any part of Tanzania let alone forward in Uganda. Which brings us to who would manually infect the people of Rakai and Kyotera? We simply do not know. Was this disease used as a part of the meat-grinder that I explained about in the last series? I honestly do not know. Did Acholis bring it and manually infect it to the populace that came under their control? I simply do not know that either. Was it manually thrown into the population through medical systems by those that wanted to eliminate all adults that have learnt about nationalism from I did Amin, and The Acholis simply did not know what was going on? Again I am repeating my very standard response, I simply do not know. Bottom line I have a whole whack of villages of Baganda families that were wiped off earth and I cannot put my finger on how they got infected. And my not having an answer to how the virus created a controlled cluster in the area is simply not helped because among the Acholis that came out of Tanzania to attack and remove The Iddi Amin's government, not a single one of them is talking. When Amin was in power all administration systems were working all way to Mutukula, as Acholis attacked Uganda from Mutukula into Masaka, Uganda government started to lose control of the region as the war progresses, the disease progressed as the war progressed, and to the day of this writing, the Acholis that controlled the taken over areas decided to keep quiet about anything that happened in between the attack of Uganda to the exit of Iddi Amin from office, for all information they have is very highly classified. I am dedicating this series to the tens of thousands of Ugandans that lost their lives into the HIV cluster of Kyotera and Rakai, who we all just forgot and simply walked away.
