{UAH} THE AFRICA KWETU TREK: WHEN WAR CRIMINALS GO TO DANCE ON THE GRAVES & MEMORY OF THEIR LUWEERO VICTIMS.

Fellow Citizens,

In my experience happy empty heads have never brought meaningful social change to any Co orvcommunity. It's holding leaders accountable that does. And for that, one has to have a clear memory and understanding of the hard, sometimes disturbing facts. 

Watching the coverage of the Africa Kwetu trek, I can't help but find the whole exercise laughable. Instead of an exercise that retraces the humongous suffering of the people of Uganda during the so-called Bush war 1980-1986, it has turned out to be a PR exercise for a living few. Possibly a tool for war criminals to escape being judged correctly by history, and therefore an insult to the countless victims and true national history of this country.

Listening to the discussions and the speeches during the trek, one cannot tell that this was the saddest, bloodiest and most barbaric conflict ever in the Republic of Uganda. While the Idi Amin government might have had a difficult time because of the Janan Luwum incident and several abductions of prominent Ugandans under his reign (read the latest 2019 exclusive research findings on those events here: facebook.com/212665596843/posts/10157512295166844/), nothing like the events of the 1980's (as pictured here in black and white) were ever seen in this country before. Not even during colonialism under British rule.

Therefore while we are gullibly focusing on the well-crafted narrative about NRA liberation, purported bravery, purported sacrifice and purported heroïsm, the local and international media seem to willingly ignore that the ongoing Africa Kwetu trek is happening at the very sites and locations where an estimated 500,000 innocent Ugandan peasants lost their lives between 1980 & 1986 at the hands of Milton Obote, his UPC party fanatics, his tribalist & fascist UNLA henchmen (backed by the Tanzanian army), plus Museveni and his NRA rebel group who have organized todays history trek partly as a political beauty show.

In the ongoing retracing of their so-called "liberation struggle", not a single journalist or TV panelist has shown or discussed the vicious killer tactics of both sides, all on record in at least three different books by actual participants plus at least one public confession. A strategy that resulted in the countless mass graves, the countless human skulls, and the endless human remains of men, women and children, innocent victims of this disturbing 6 year bloodbath, plus all the orphaned child soldiers. Human remains which the Africa Kwetu participants are silently trekking by today as if these mass graves do not exist just a few meters away from the grassy roadside.

The darkest days in Uganda's history are being skillfully brushed under the rag. A broad daylight attempt at sanitizing their barbarity, an attempt at diminishing the disturbing legacy of their horrendous mass killings, and an attempt at whitewashing the blood of their victims off themselves the perpetrators.

I have always wondered how Milton Obote, his henchmen, museveni and the liberators can commit all this yet the media still says Amin is the butcher of Uganda.

How?

Clearly it is all bullshit trying to pass for history.

The Africa Kwetu trek is said to be retracing the Museveni struggle for democracy & human rights against misrule, extra-judicial killings and rampant injustice at the hands of the murderous misfits who took over after Idi Amin. By the time all this chaos was happening, the charismatic Ugandan leader was in exile in Saudi Arabia already.

Every single Ugandan household has a relative murdered during this Obote II/Tanzanian army/NRA mayhem as they fought amongst themselves for power. And todays history trek completely ignores the memory of those countless innocent Ugandans they murdered during this time simply because of either ethnicity, religion, political affiliation, or even for simply owning something that was desired by their brutal tormentors. Ugandans were suddenly the helpless victims of these individuals' bottomless thirst for power and pomp,and this was exactly what Amin had been warning Ugandans about when he was still president.

When he presented the weapons found hidden in a truck at Namirembe Cathedral in February 1976, he told Ugandans that "all these weapons cannot be for killing me alone. They are for killing you the people of Uganda as well."

If we should embark on the full trek of Uganda's legacy of mass massacres, it should include not only the Luweero region that the current trek is touring, but also the daily senseless killings in Kampala at the time, the Mbarara massacre in Western region, the killings in Masaka region, Jinja district and all over Eastern Uganda, the total mass murder of every living thing, human or animal, in the West Nile region simply because they were from Amin's home region, plus the Acholi insurgencies with Priestess Alice Lakwena and other UNLA rebels including Joseph Kony.

We might one day decide as a nation to conduct a Africa Elwelu Trek in memory of the victims of the 2016 Kasese Massacre. The total count of the innocent victims, is estimated by a London barrister to be between 1.5 and 2 million Ugandans killed by these quack liberators since 1979 after Idi Amin left the country.

The question is, how can any normal human being discuss Idi Amin when they themselves are behind all the mass murders of innocent Ugandans as explained here?

Why is history not holding them accountable? How come that the international press and Human Rights organizations can quickly talk about "the dark days of Idi Amin" but comparably, they are mysteriously silent about this Obote/Museveni bloodbath and the underlying fascist, tribalist totalitarianism?

A butchery that is clearly a result of a crude, animalistic selfishness leading to a despicable and unimaginable senseless killings spree with at least three simultaneous genocides, the total collapse of the economy and the state, the most barbaric injustices one could ever imagine, all happening against the people of Uganda during a decade of hell throughout the 1980's when Ugandans witnessed Africa's second worst mass slaughter of innocent civilians in modern times. Only the 1994 Rwanda genocide was slightly worse. And this is what they called "Uganda's liberation".

In yet another attempt at maintaining the people hoodwinked, next month some of them will reportedly be trekking from Kampala to Muchwini, Northern Uganda masquerading as saints.
