{UAH} BUT THEY ALREADY MURDERED "AMIN PEOPLE" IN REVENGE, ISN'T IT?

Fellow Ugandans,

Two days ago, a group of people led by Olara Otunnu reportedly went to Koboko (the ancestral home of my late father President Idi Amin) to celebrate the fall of the Amin government. Obviously this was clear provocation by a politician who should know better. But given his previous record of evil intent and malice, reportedly having once claimed in 1976 that he was murdered by Amin himself yet here he is alive today in 2019, he is nothing but a rat's joke. Possibly akin to the famous conman who claimed to have been resurrected in a fake Church miracle.
I am wondering why the midget is also trying to resurrect himself politically yet people have so moved on to other generations of politicians who represent their solutions to today's problems while the Ottunu's are stuck in the past, trying to whitewash themselves of Luweero by crying loudest at any Church events that they can get to today.
While reconciliation is good, insulting us in the process shows an evil spirit. While he thinks he is being smart in his long women's blouse, he is actually looking silly.
Has anyone ever seen Olara Otunnu or UPC going to Kyankwanzi to celebrate the day his murderous Obote dictatorship was deposed?
I am also wondering when Otunnu will tell the Koboko gathering that during his Obote II/Lutwa dictatorships, they sent gangs armed with spears and machete panga's (exactly like the infamous interahamwe militia's during the Rwanda genocide) to West Nile and these barbaric hoodlums chanting their traditional songs slaughtered anyone they found in the name of revenge? Has anyone seen Otunnu or UPC and their shrinking number of fans ever going to mourn those that died at the Ombachi massacre just like the people of West Nile recently went to pray and reconcile with the entire nation at the Janan Luwum memorial last February 16th?
Or has Otunnu and his Obote henchmen comrades ever attended any memorial ceremony for the Luweero massacre where their tribal UNLA and Tanzanian forces murdered our people? Didn't they also say it was revenge against the Baganda?
So what do they want from us now?
We the Amin family now owe nothing to anyone. From Muslims to our civil servants, soldiers, doctors, pilots, state enterprise directors, businessmen, and countless innocent civilians including massacres against the Baganda and the people of West Nile, we have been murdered in revenge and in the hundreds of thousands by these so-called liberators in the name of revenge. In fact it is estimated that upto 2 million Ugandans have died at their hands from 1979 to date.
So we mourn our dead alone. They paid with their innocent lives at the hands of these people. And therefore I am not moved by malicious politricks from evil unapologetic Obote henchmen trying to resurrect themselves using us as their ladder. They have long squandered all moral authority they might have had in these issues by murdering innocent Ugandans extra-judicially all over the country mbu revenge.
If they were ever honest about reconciliation, why haven't they ever started the meetings and Luwum memorials by mentioning that heinous revenge massacres already took place, and countless innocent Ugandan civilians (including my own relatives) paid with their poor lives never to be seen again?
If the ulterior purpose of that ceremony was for the Otunnu's to try and cleanse themselves of their horrors while insulting us at our own home town on such a telling day, then who is skillfully provoking who?
And after killing hundreds of thousands of our innocent people under the excuse of revenge during that infamous decade of hell that started on 11th April 1979, do we still owe anyone anything?
As for those from Koboko who attended the gathering two days ago, I want to tell them to wake up from their political slumber and either hold such malicious politicians to account for their heinous, painful extra-judicial killings and outright barbaric murder of your own people as revenge, or stop claiming to represent us.
First of all who appointed you. Indeed President Idi Amin was a president of the whole of Uganda. Not West Nile or Koboko. And he is my father. Not yours. So on what grounds do you have any legitimacy to claim to talk on his behalf. If there is any reconciliation involving his name, as a head of state it can only be under a properly constituted National Truth & Reconciliation Commission. There are alot more people across the country who should have their say about all sides in all the historic national matters. A bill that includes a Truth & Reconciliation Commission was drafted 10 years ago and has been piling dust at the Ministry of Justice and Constitutional Affairs pending cabinet approval. If these people truly wanted genuine, meaningful and lasting national reconciliation, the best action would have been to go and have their meeting with Hon. Otafiire so that he gets his overweight body moving and starts addressing the pending issues on this bill. He gets a salary to do a clearly stipulated job, and some of us are here quietly waiting for that Truth Commission.
Why hurriedly organize some ill-intentioned, obscure meetings in a tiny corner of the country, and then claim that you are reconciling the country when in reality their is no ongoing plan, roadmap or national process, and the very instigators of the unknown meeting still have to account for their horroriffic revenge crimes against the people of this country with total impunity. We have already paid with our blood for anything we are accused of whether rightfully or wrongly, right? So let us continue to mourn our dead in silence, and may their innocent martyred souls rest in heavenly peace as the nation waits for the Otunnu's apology.
And let two things be clear:
First, nobody is here fearing anyone. And secondly, nobody should be maliciously provoking any Ugandan to go back to settling those scores except in the framework of a well-organized, proper, civilized and legal national process.
The days of using Amin's name with lies for cheap political capital while trying to whitewash oneself of one's own crimes, those days are gone. And the few idiots who still try can expect to read a clear public response from me, whoever they are. Meanwhile we have a country to build together for our common national future, all Ugandans together regardless of gender, tribe, religion or social status. And therefore peaceful co-existence must be guaranteed to prevail by all including by the institutions of the state.

Thank you
