Two wrongs


The situation has carried on, like it has and for so long, because of wrongs on both sides of the conflict. I blame the government and the LRA.

'I cannot forget and forgive'

President Museveni has been reckless with his statements. He speaks and it incites the rebels to kill more people.

A while ago President Museveni said that the LRA had nine days to come out of the bush and end the war. Nine days? Nine days is not enough to end a war that has been here for 20 years.

Then some government officials have offered five million Ugandan shillings (US$2,500) to whomever hands over Joseph Kony. If the government is serious then why so little?

It is not an incentive. All it did was annoy the rebels, driving them to more killing.

When words like these have been uttered, the rebels have retaliated, badly. They go out and kill, wipe out a whole village - maybe 60 people. Dead.
