{UAH} Acholi never killed nobody - Edward Mulindwa
President General Yoweri Museveni is now well into the third decade as ruler of Uganda. In the first twenty of those twenty-five years since he took power in January 1986 through violence, wiliness and guile, Northern and Eastern Uganda, in particular Acholi sub-region, suffered from one of the most brutal, bloody and savage armed conflicts in modern African history. Museveni's army - the National Resistance Army (NRA, 1981-1996), renamed Uganda People's Defense Forces (UPDF) in October 1996 - and his other security agencies committed innumerable grave acts of atrocities and abuses of human rights that constitute genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity in northern Uganda. These included torture and ill-treatment of captives, mass killings, rape, sodomy and other sexual assaults, summary executions, recruiting children as soldiers, large scale forcible displacement of civilians and detention under inhuman conditions. Others included brutal maiming and mutilation of the human body such as cutting off lips and ears, use of displaced civilians in IDP camps as human shields against rebel attacks, burying people alive, deliberate campaign to spread HIV AIDS by infected soldiers, use of weapons of mass destruction (WMD), in particular, chemical weapons, and landmines against civilian populations, setting villages and farms on fire, and wanton destruction of properties and infrastructure, among them the stealing of millions of heads of cattle and other livestock.
