I think it will take a very long time to wipe away these memories, particularly from those who lost their dear ones, whilst Museveni and his children and grand children enjoy the proceeds of that war. I strongly believe that Uganda has got the creditentials of Olara Samuel who can stand up and defend the helpless (in Northern and Eastern Uganda) causing a proper investigation. There is a case that needs to be answered by our president (General Museveni) - failing to protect the vulnerable lives in the deliberate CAMPS he created in Northen Uganda. This can only be answered in the ICC. - Matek Wed, 06 Jan 2010 00:03:00 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/column/guest-column/2240-gen-arondas-admission-on-camps-exposes-crimes-against-humanity#comment-23084 If the millitary strategy factored humanitarian suffering in it's design, not a single litre of blood would have been shed in Northern and Eastern Uganda to the scale witnessed. It can therefore be safe to conclude, even by a child born yesterday, that the intention of General Museveni was and is still questionable in the Northern and Eastern war. What General Museveni has done is to plant the seeds of hate among the children, grand children and great grand children of those who were murdered in the Museveni Northern millitary campaign. I think Museveni owes them everything for failing to protect them during the killing for he had everything under his power to do so. - Matek Tue, 05 Jan 2010 23:41:41 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/column/guest-column/2240-gen-arondas-admission-on-camps-exposes-crimes-against-humanity#comment-23083 I have read Olara's article with keen interest and moved by the content - very true. Whilst running from the Barlonyo CAMP for my dear life towards Central Uganda (Kampala), all I could think of were the lives of those who could not make it to safety in Kampala. It was later to be true (two years down the line) that I ran away from the CAMP for a very good reason, when over 360 innocent civilians (former campmates) were deliberately murdered in cold blood. I say 'deliberately' because the general feeling among Ugandans, myself inclusive is that the millitary strategy under the guardianship of our president was designed with a hidden agenda (Read Olara's article). - Matek Tue, 05 Jan 2010 23:23:13 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/column/guest-column/2240-gen-arondas-admission-on-camps-exposes-crimes-against-humanity#comment-22490 The same scenario this writer is talkings about was witnessed by many of us in Bosnia, much as Milosovic was in the Hague, we have not achieve much from his trial. The world is full of bloodthirsty individuals but because they are in most cases being supported by the west, they will always get away with murdering millions, because the very laws that were put in place to stop such activities are bent for the benefit of the west and at the expense of eastern europeans and africans. - Mariusz Melniczuik Fri, 18 Dec 2009 14:00:47 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/column/guest-column/2240-gen-arondas-admission-on-camps-exposes-crimes-against-humanity#comment-22360 M7 and his government are some of the few "mighty," "above the law" organisations and individuals of this world that can't be touched. As long as the Bushes, the Blairs etc are able to go free and account for nothing even if they have mowed and massacred thousands of people in Iraq, Afghanistan, etc, how can M7 account for that when he is supported by them and is one of them?The best solution in Uganda is truth and reconciliation commssion. The beginning of the NRA rebel activity up to the climax of the northern war has divided the country. To be called an Acholi, Karimojong, Lugbara, Munyankole, Westerner smells like faeces to a nose that doesn't want to receive it. I mean the prejudice bred in Uganda must be reduced otherwise the country sits on a time bomb. - OJA Mon, 14 Dec 2009 20:39:32 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/column/guest-column/2240-gen-arondas-admission-on-camps-exposes-crimes-against-humanity#comment-22345 Mr Olara, excellent piece of work. God bless you and continue with the good work. - Hajat Mon, 14 Dec 2009 03:10:34 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/column/guest-column/2240-gen-arondas-admission-on-camps-exposes-crimes-against-humanity#comment-22317 When i was young,i used to hear the then presidents ending their speeches by saying "FOR GOD AND MY COUNTRY" but i have NEVER heard president M7 saying the words at the end of his speeches.That probably explains why sometimes he acts in a way that shows that he does not have the country in his heart. - Angelo Sat, 12 Dec 2009 12:53:09 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/column/guest-column/2240-gen-arondas-admission-on-camps-exposes-crimes-against-humanity#comment-22316 When i was young,i used to hear the then presidents ending their speeches by saying "FOR GOD AND MY COUNTRY" but i have NEVER heard president M7 saying the words at the end of his speeches.That probably explains why sometimes he acts in a way that shows that he does not have the country in his heart. - Angelo Sat, 12 Dec 2009 12:53:08 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/column/guest-column/2240-gen-arondas-admission-on-camps-exposes-crimes-against-humanity#comment-22280 9 God will sweep them away, both young and old, faster than a pot heats on an open flame (they now have children, and grand children, didnt they say they want to rule for 50 years?). 10 The godly will rejoice when they see injustice avenged (farewell thee Kazini and mayombo). They will wash their feet in the blood of the wicked (blood in Namuwongo? not yet!! for it is writen!!!).

(Luwero, Tesos, Rwanda, Congo and N Uganda, Somalia). 3 These wicked people are born sinners; even from birth they have lied and gone their own way 4 They spit poison like deadly snakes (check out presidential spechees "biological substances"); they are like cobras that refuse to listen, 5 ignoring the tunes of the snake charmers, no matter how skillfully they play (presidential term limits). 7 May they disappear like water into thirsty ground (slowly but surely - Kazini, Mayombo, etc). - durbano Fri, 11 Dec 2009 12:19:24 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/column/guest-column/2240-gen-arondas-admission-on-camps-exposes-crimes-against-humanity#comment-22271 Unfortunately It is reaching a point were civilisation makes no sense to me anymore. Mother Uganda is bleeding seriously, these guyz are siphoning all the blood (read resources) that Uganda has. - Concerned Uganda Fri, 11 Dec 2009 03:47:20 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/column/guest-column/2240-gen-arondas-admission-on-camps-exposes-crimes-against-humanity#comment-22270 Mr Stanley unfortunately you are among the many that have bought Museveni's lies with out critical analysis. Were the children recruited willingly by Kony or forcefully abducted? Where was the updf as hundreds of ugandans were massacared in Barlonyo, the very camps that had been forcefully created to protect them? Is it Kony that burnt the teso brothers and sisters in train wagons in mukura or it was musevenis NRA? Hasn't it been proven that it is a Ugandan ammunition that brought down Habyarimanas plane and subsequently sparked off the Rwandan genocide? The least can go on and on and on Mr Stanely can you provide evidence against any of these facts. The fact remains Museveni is a killer and I still pray for him to die a slow and painfull death. - Concerned Uganda Fri, 11 Dec 2009 03:40:32 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/column/guest-column/2240-gen-arondas-admission-on-camps-exposes-crimes-against-humanity#comment-22264 Mr Olara's article is compelling and clearly illustrates that there is a case to answer by the Uganda government, how can they deny what this gentleman writes. On the other hand, i deplore the kind of attitude that both concerned Ugandan and stanley show here. Let us learn to be civilised and debate issues in a meaningful way, otherwise you loose meaning to anything good you might want to put accross. I would like to thank Mr Olara for his effort. - Mugwanya Fri, 11 Dec 2009 00:06:10 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/column/guest-column/2240-gen-arondas-admission-on-camps-exposes-crimes-against-humanity#comment-22238 I doubt if you're really Uganda. if you're a Ugandan and you've followed a war in north, you wouldn't talk like that. if i were you,i would pray for Kony to die a slow and painful death for killing his own people who spoke the language that Kony understands. what would M7 do if you northerners kill your selves? recruiting your own children to kill your own relatives.!!!!!!!!!. M7 will not die a slow and pain full death and your prayers will not be answered because God is fair. and i am confident you'll go to hell for that. - Stanley Katabarwa Thu, 10 Dec 2009 16:59:11 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/column/guest-column/2240-gen-arondas-admission-on-camps-exposes-crimes-against-humanity#comment-22201 This government has succedded in deceiving the world about the atrocities they committed in Luwero, Northern Uganda, Teso sub region, and Congo. The international community and media have decided on what they can call a genocide and what they will not call agenocide depending on whether the ruling president is Museveni for attrocities in Northern Uganda or Bashir for attrocities in darfur. Mr Museveni much has you succeded in blindfolding the international community and the ugandans in central and western uganda who were asleep at that time as fellow country men and women were being butchered, But Museveni YOU WILL NOT SUCCED IN DECEIVING GOD and I will keep praying you die a very slow and painful death. - Concerned Uganda Thu, 10 Dec 2009 01:33:11 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/column/guest-column/2240-gen-arondas-admission-on-camps-exposes-crimes-against-humanity#comment-22200 This government has succedded in deceiving the world about the atrocities they committed in Luwero, Northern Uganda, Teso sub region, and Congo.
