{UAH} UGANDA @ 53: AS LUWEERO IMPUNITY LINGERS ON.

Picture: Remains of Ugandans from the Luweero war, also known as "Museveni's War".

First, I was reading one candidates profile yesterday that said; "After 1972, he remained behind inside Uganda, running the secret FRONASA rebels activities."
I felt that since Uganda is soon 53 years old, let me ask this question again: When they say that they were fighting Amin for 8 years, were they killing as much air as possible, or as many people as possible?

Kindly assist me to understand.

Meanwhile, as Uganda celebrated its 53rd birthday. The people on the podiums were party to the pictured Luweero massacre. I have posted below a factual Wikipedia summary of the conflict. I noticed that the people cited there-in as being responsible for the killings, have since been awarded national heroe medals.
The leading candidates for the 2016 elections participated in this "Museveni's war".
In order to decidedly break the violence and revenge cycle, it would be necessary that they brush aside the unwritten secrecy pact on Luweero that has prevented them from coming forward, unlike a few others, to bring closure to a sad episode in Uganda'e history by clearly condemning the war crimes that they were privy to.
There are many people who call Amin the most vilifying names. But look what they did to Ugandans.
Suddenly, the country discovered that it was stuck with the most barbaric beings. People who perfectly qualified for every wicked name they had persistently tried to smear Amin with.
Luweero was genocide, Luweero was war crimes and Luweero was crime against humanity, all combined.
These pictured remains were innocent civilian peasants in rural Uganda. No matter how one looks at it, nothing like this ever happened in our country's history.
And justice ultimately has to be upheld. The Justice Minister himself already made some damning confessions about what they did to the around 500,000 civilians who died horrendously in this conflict alone.
In order not to waste bullets, there was a special technique they used that involved clobbering civilians on the head. As if that wasn't deadly enough, the club was fitted with a six inch nail for immediate collapse/death.
One Major John Kazoora, discusses it in his book "Betrayed by my leader". He was a Museveni fighter, explaining how combatants administered the gruesome execution to these innocent villagers. To this day the skulls bear testimony to this savagery: A visible hole in them. 
Those responsible for this horror won't mention their criminal record in Luweero, Mukura and other massacres.
When asked, the arrogant amongst them casually respond with a terribly sinister Ugandan proverb "Ensi egula mirambo". The end justifies the means. We had to kill to get the country. The country requires dead bodies.
I repeat, these are the people who call Amin names. Yet we are talking hundreds of thousands of innocent peasants that they massacred and the skulls and bones are still everywhere for all to see.
A British researcher on the BBC once said " If you thought the Amin era was bad, what came after was total horror, with a total collapse of the economy and the state."
Yet there are some heartless people who, for some incomprehensible reasons, are proud of those days. With the famous bus nicknamed "Mpawo atalikaaba" (meaning give me those that have gone silent) whose use was for picking dead bodies every morning from the capitals streets. Citizens killed the night before by the so called "Liberation army". The leaders who oversaw these heinous crimes at the time, are officially recognized heroes today.
For the Luweero survivors, it is a heavy silence that they bear visibly on their sad faces. The medal being pinned on their chest during public ceremonies is possibly a reminder that "be quiet, or else...!"
I mentioned previously that before the 1994 Rwanda genocide there was a major Ugandan one: It was Luweero.
Let us pray that God forever rids this country from moronic, cult-like barbarism and corruption. Let the Almighty forever forbid such viciously hidden tyranny that secretly killed Ugandans for years. It wasn't new in Luweero. They were already murderers eliminating as many Ugandan civilians as possible in covert operations against regimes they disliked. But what is this curious ideology as if from a horror movie where they say "Ensi egula mirambo"?
None of us are honest until.we start calling Luweero for what it truely was: The biggest national disaster Uganda has ever recorded.
None of us are politically honest until we snatch the national hero medals from the clothings of those responsible for this internationally untold massacre.
How they got them in the first place when all their victims skulls are out there for the world to see, is quite sadistic to say the least.
