{UAH} WE DID NOT HAVE KONNY IN NORTHERN UGANDA

Mulindwa Edward  from Toronto-Canada

The report was well received by the participants. What was significant about the report was that it reversed the explanations that had hitherto been given to the effect that the war in Acholi was the extension of the war of the "Luwero Triangle" because of the atrocities that were committed there allegedly by the Acholi soldiers in the Uganda National Liberation Army-UNLA under Obote II. The report has instead postulated that the "sculls" and the atrocities committed there were themselves the consequence of an ethnic-oriented war that was initiated by the NRM and its army-NRA in the "Triangle" against the `northerners' who were accused of "dominating" Uganda's post-independence politics and that this had happened because of their control of the Uganda armed forces.  The war was intended to end this `domination.' Thus the objective of the war was for a certain clique of politicians led by Yoweri Museveni and Prof. Yusuf Lule (RIP) to seize political power and impose a new one-party dictatorship on the country by exploiting the ethnic factor.
