{UAH} THE MULINDWA NOTES ON VIOLENCE IN UGANDA {---Series two-Hundred but thirty four}

Friends

 

Every single country that I have seen developing, develop because it invests in its population. Those of us that have seen China become an economic giant have raised the number of its population as one of the cause. But United States economic woes started when it stopped to invest into its people. When United States stopped to create jobs the middle class became squashed out, and they developed a two class population, you are either too poor or too rich. That kind of economy that does not care about its middle-class is bound to struggle. When you look at The US numbers they have started to slowly Crip up,  jobs are starting to show but they need to work at it much harder than what why are doing today.

 

As Ugandans we have multiplied our population, but we have not invested into it, what we have done for many and many years is to  murder each other. Fellow Ugandans we have dug so many of these holes and I am simply too tired of seeing them. And all way from the 60's to the 70's to the 80's to the 90's and just last week a prosecutor joined the lined of graves. When are we going to stop murdering each other? What have we ever achieved by killing innocent  people? Is there a price in a grave? We drop them there and we remain as we so were,  yet we go and murder someone else and burry him too, we hunt down another and we murder than one too, we go to the next one and we murder that one too. At what point do we actually stop and wonder about preserving lives as Ugandans? There is a hole dug in Uganda for some murdered Ugandan every day, not sick not suicide but one Ugandan killing another Ugandan.  And when I see the manner at which I am threatened because I speak on this very stupid violence, I get very sad for this country. A man claiming to be a lawyer in United Kingdom to stand up in a  public forum and challenge me to fly to Uganda so that he shoots me. Well  among all those you have murdered why is your firkin liver shrinking inside you, you fool? I am posting a hole that was dug in Atiak to burry a Ugandan that committed no crime and was not sick but he disagreed with another Ugandan and he was killed as George Okello wants to murder me. Below the photograph I am going to post a paragraph from a respondent that was in that massacre for you to read it and wonder if Uganda is not in a real trouble. We must stop to dig these holes for our fellow Ugandans.

 

We need to discuss Acholi violence candidly.

 

 

 

Atiak Massacre Survivors Still Live in Fear over Ghostly Vengeance - Acholi Times - The voice of...

Survivors of thebloody April 1995 Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) rebels' massacre in Atiak Sub County in Amuru District have expressed fear over the increasing cases of ghostly vengeance. The survivors claim that they have registered increasing cases of ghostly attacks especially at night after

A two year old child of a woman called Esther started coughing incessantly. The coughing irritated the rebels to the point that one of them remarked, 'this child will make us to be caught.' Esther was ordered by the

commander of the rebels to 'go and throw her child into the bush.' As she moved to obey the command, the rebel chief changed his mind and told her to place the child on the veranda of a hut next to which the captives

had been gathered. Esther was told to rejoin the group of captives, and as she did so, the rebels flashed bright light into the eyes of the frightened child telling her, 'if you cry right now we are going to kill you.' The child

continued crying and was immediately picked up by a rebel soldier and battered to death against the post of the hut. The above incident was later to turn into a painful slaughter of 6 other children at the hands of their own mothers. One mother recalled being forced to participate in the killing of her own child;"
