{UAH} Barlonyo massacre

Barlonyo massacre, Lira District, 21 February 2004: over 300 camp IDPs   killed    In the space of less than three hours on the late afternoon of 21 February   2004, over 300 people in an IDP camp were brutally murdered by armed men and an   unknown number abducted. Camp residents were burned alive inside their huts,   hacked to death with machetes, stabbed with bayonets, clubbed with sticks and   shot as they fled. The bellies of pregnant women were slit open, their not-yet   formed babies thrown into the fires. (Human Security Report Project, Human   Security Gateway,    <http://www.humansecuritygateway.com/showRecord.php?RecordId=28373>   http://www.humansecuritygateway.com/showRecord.php?RecordId=28373) The   government of Museveni blamed the LRA rebels for the killing, but many of the   survivors privately state that the massacre was carried out by the government   army disguised as rebels.    The above are just a few of the many grave atrocities committed by Museveni's   army against the people of northern Uganda. The catastrophic impact of the   conflict on civilians has been repeatedly documented in a range of academic,   human rights and policy studies.    The genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity perpetrated by Museveni   and his army in northern Uganda should be best visualized in the perspective of   the gross violation of human and people's rights on the scale of those that   have occurred in Rwanda, Yugoslavia and Sudan's Darfur region
