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

Friends

 

The outburst, accusation, abusive language, death threats by George Okello and Peter Gwokto against me, vindictiveness, fabrication and denial make this series very important and a must continue project. If I am to loose friends such as Matek has done or be killed over this, so be it. Since 1971 we have been lied to that Amin and people of West Nile and Madi were responsible for all the miseries in particular of the Acholi and Langi and of Ugandans in general. It was accepted as the gospel truth of the day and we lived with it. Nubians and Moslems in Uganda were all labelled killers and the world accepted. I decided, at the risk of my life, that of my family and friends to search for real truth by asking myself one simple question: If truly Amin, Nubians and Moslems were the problems, how come these problems have not ended since Amin's departure more than 30 years ago? Instead, in the last 30 years these problems have been magnified and became part of Ugandan culture. Reason being one aspect of the problem was ignored: Our brothers from Acholi who want to dominate our hard earned freedom from colonialism. This effort to dominate everything political in Uganda by Acholi is exhibited by Akim Adong who has become the first known priest of "Federalism" in the whole of Uganda. He is attempting so hard to make the Baganda his altar boys and Betty Kamya the nun in residence. He does not ask but demands. Since yesterday, he has crowned A. Otunnu the Cardinal of federalism and as such all Ugandans must change their last names to "Federalism". Brothers and sisters what next does Akim has in store for us? At least for in my case I know what he has for me in store: "by his decree, he has barred me from crossing Karuma Falls. That is the new border between Acholi and Uganda, since according to Akim's understanding of federalism, it is a declaration of an independent Acholi state. Which if happens, would be good riddance.

 

As you can see a lot has been written about Acholi and violence particularly against women. Just few days ago I posted a study where they were beating their wives inside the camps. Today I am posting a separate study again about Acholi violence against their wives, and how they rape them. This particular document available online is a thesis by Holly Porter of London School of Economics.  Download - LSE Theses Online - London School of Economics and ...  When one put together studies conducted in Luweero also on violence by Acholi in particular against women, it becomes clear that something is not right. With this kind of violence which looks almost cultural, could it be the reason why there is a system called 'Mato Oput" put in place? It seems if there is no system of forgiveness in Acholi-land, the entire tribe could risk being put behind bars.

 

Friends we have a very serious problem with Acholi violence and we need to candidly address it.
