{UAH} IDDI AMIN NEVER TARGETED LANGIs/ACHOLIs, THEY TARGETED HIM {---Series One-Hundred and sixty-eight}

Friends

 

As the series continue to stretch its self in educating degree holders on the Acholi violence, we have decided to post this writing even though we had decided not to make it public. When we post a list of those murdered during the aftermath of Iddi Amin and the best response we get is to question how many Rwandese I murdered, it is a time to raise the Acholi violence publicly. Panapress followed Acholi violence, and wrote this short piece but due to its importance decided to make it the editorial of the day. These are Acholi murdered by Acholi.

 

Again I am appealing to all Ugandans that we start to discuss Acholi violence candidly.

Dogs feast on remains of victims of Uganda massacre

Kampala- Uganda (PANA) -- A human rights delegation that visited the scene of last month's carnage in Lira, northern Uganda where rebels raided a camp and killed more than 200 refugees has brought back harrowing accounts of dogs feasting on the remains of the victims, who were buried in shallow graves.
Local press reports Wednesday quoted the four commissioners from the Uganda Human Rights Commission (UHRC) as conceding that they had trouble holding back their tears when they saw dogs eating decomposing bodies.
The commissioners, who were afield for a firsthand appraisal of the situation at camps for internally displaced persons (IDP) in the north, said they found stray dogs feeding on rotting human limbs.
"In the hot afternoon more than 10 dogs roamed the place carrying away bones of the victims of the February 21 rebel massacre in Barlonyo in Lira," UHRC spokesperson Justus Muhanguzi said.
"As families fled, the dead were hurriedly buried by the army in shallow graves from where the dogs dug up the bones," Muhanguzi explained, saying he and his colleagues chased the canines which scampered off leaving skeletons littered all over the abandoned comp.
"Something urgently needs to be done to rebury the remains of the Barlonyo dead in deeper graves," he urged.
Meanwhile, pathologists working with a team of investigators from the International Criminal Court (ICC) said they had exhumed 173 bodies.
Soon after the massacre, one of the bloodiest yet in the 18-year bush war between the government and the rebel Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), controversy erupted over the number of the dead with government putting the figure at 80.
Exhumed bodies would be given a decent burial only after ICC completes its inquiry into the massacre.
