{UAH} The ill-treatment of students has brought great shame on regime and Makerere administration!

The international community is attentively watching what's going on at Makerere University where students rightly and legitimately fighting for their rights are given such very harsh brutal treatment by the security forces. Imagine how the world has condemned those silly acts carried on students by the military and the police! They were even authorized to break into students' rooms and do a lot of havoc there! Most of the students were asleep and they were beaten, booted, and harassed by the very nervous and rough security forces who even went further to do damage to students' property and to beat up the handicapped and the disabled!

All this being the result of a very shallow cowardly spirit exposed by the very timid university administration who want to act  so indulgently with the connivance of what's said to be a failing regime now turning to hasty roughness in order to still show any signs of active presence! Bringing on the campus military and opther security personnel to terrorize innocent students is a very bad index of the country's failure to quell even the slighest problems such as a students' strike or demonstration. These youths whom they are mishandling are a part of those other youths now saluted for their courage in uniting forces to save their country and their future from the very many evils whose rise the regime has been passively  looking at but with no energy or even interest to place any counter-measure on what is now a situation that becomes irreversible! Who is to blame? Not the students who are the innocent victims of the folly but the regime and the university administration which faiols to engage a debate with the students in order to know their grievances. And why expel students from the university? What have they done? To protest against increment in tuition, is that a crime? Do many of their parents and benefactors have enough ressources to squeeze from given the really full economic hardship the country is experiencing? Is Uganda a well-to-do country where the economy and finances are well stream-lined to give entire satisfaction to the population in general? Are we in the First World or in a Third World where our performance in the economy is simply unnoticeable! Let events take the courage to reclaim by force all the money corrupt officials and embezzlers have pocketted and give some of it to universities to improve their lot! 

And let Makerere University administration act wisely and see the increment in tuition suspended to enable the poor students do their studies without itches of worry. Let there be sanity on the campus in order to wash away the crying shame the administration has bought to its credit as a failure to use the brain to act, talk, and think with sense! Otherwise makerere's situation now is a shame to Africa, a big shame to the world, and a real shame to the continent's much respected academia! To hell with the dirty schemers! Let them resign! Uganda has many competent individuals to replace them!!!
