More behind the scenes on M7 role in Kenya chaos





This week, you may have noticed that President Museveni was at his usual games of hoodwinking the international community in general, and East Africans especially Ugandans in particular, that he still has "solutions" to the worlds problems.



As always he wanted to reap success and recognition as a peace maker when he learnt that former UN chief Kofi Anan was also visiting Kenya and had a fair chance to succeed in the mission to knock sense into some peoples heads.



As is the norm, a thief is always on the lookout and suspicious of even his own shadow. The "son of Amos Kaguta" (by the way the old man Amos is sick and keeps mentioning that as a herdsman, he was free to roam and talk to different people in Kinoni township. But now he is being held hostage and forced to stay in State House where he is not allowed to talk to any one apart from the immediate guards and not even to his "grand kids". Those who are aware of this old man's misery find his virtual house arrest strange and sympathize but what can you do when the president is the prison chief?). Let us return to our story, the ever nervous thief rushed to Dar es Salaam to borrow the presidential Jet of Tanzania with the excuse that he could not travel by "his jet" because Kenya was not safe and someone could target him there!



We shall return to the visit later.



During and after the election around the 29th to 30th December 2007, our sources who monitor the airwaves (you know how everything which goes in the air is free for whoever wants to pick up even if it is 'presidential' material), say Raila tried a number of times to talk directly with Yoweri Museveni requesting him to prevail on Kibaki to accept and concede defeat for the sake of the region and Kenya.



Raila managed to get the elusive revolutionary around the 29th or 30th December and pleaded with him to offer support to him and the Kenyan people since he had rightly won the elections.



According to our sources here is what Museveni said and I quote;



"Raila (cynical laugh), this is Africa, elections are not won through the people and what makes you think Kenya is any different from the rest of Africa?"

"How do you expect me to support you when you are associated with UPC? Politics is about interests and to be fair with you, let me deal with my fellow Mzee. I cannot afford to fight five young leaders ( he meant Tanzanian, Congo, Burundi, Rwandese and now Kenya), please leave me alone! Really.



"Well wish you luck, but what you Luos did in Uganda for the last 20 years, Kenyans would be foolish to accept you"



He hung up the phone without saying good bye and immediately called Kibaki, offering advice that he should find a way to be quickly sworn in as president to gain the upper hand in any negotiations, and that should the matter go to court, he can always bribe the judges.



Ugandans should note that, had the elections gone according to the law (and will of the people), the swearing in ceremonies were scheduled to take place on the 30th of December 2007.



Most of the neighbouring states (Tanzania, Southern Sudan, Rwanda, Burundi, and Ethiopia) were busy sending advance security teams to Nairobi and booking hotels for their Presidents and other dignitaries.



But in Kampala, the Presidential Guard Brigade (PG which is in charge of presidential security arrangements were asking Museveni and Amelia his private secretary (PPS) on what arrangements should be made but both did not care to give any response. Time was running out and people in the advance security team were getting desperate but despite many reminders and requests for guidance on this critical issue, all efforts came to nothing. These two key people were just not bothered. Well, we all now know what they already knew at that time.



This episode was most surprising on two accounts. One is that Museveni is the most security conscious (read coward if you like) person you have ever seen. That is why these days he moves with a whole army brigade in his own country. How come he was not moving even a finger to give his security arrangements the go ahead if he was planning to visit a foreign country? Secondly, he spent a lot of time during those election days on the phone making calls to persons in Kenya. This was especially true on and throughout the night of 30th December 2007. Yet he was not showing any concern that he was due to travel for the swearing in ceremonies.



The advance teams in Nairobi were stranded, not receiving any information from their boss, the PGB commander. Instead orders were coming from the dreaded Chieftaincy of Military Intelligence (CMI) and General David Tinyefuza, prompting the PGB commanders to ask the presidents secretary Amelia, what the hell was going on?!



On another note, we can now reveal to you that people in and close to State House like like Fox Odoi, Moses Byuruhanga, David Tinyefuza, Amama Mbabazi, Nyombi Thembo, have earned "consultancy" fees from the Kibaki presidential campaign as senior advisers on this rigged election. Given the way the whole affair went, you can judge what kind of advise they gave.



Meanwhile, it is true over 5,000 UPDF soldiers have been stationed on both sides of the Kenya and Uganda boarder with Museveni advising Kibaki that he is doing it because "Acholi" and or LRA my cross over to help Raila, or the other way round, that Raila may send his people to LRA to set up rear bases in Uganda. (For our foreign readers who may not understand the significance, the people of northern Uganda, Acholi included, are of the same ethnic group as the Luo in Kenya, where Raila Odinga comes from. Museveni, as his deeds bear out, is a hard core racist and it seems he can only see and understand something after he puts on the sectarian spectacles of tribe and race)



Kenyans, the earlier you realise you are dealing with a fully grown wolf in a sheep's skin (which is no longer fitting) the better for both Kenya and Uganda.



Museveni will do whatever is possible to deny Raila his true place because he has calculated very well that with Raila as president, his own days will be further reduced and his desire to be president of the united East Africa will be derailed. On the other hand, Kibaki will be too glad to support this megalomaniac pursuit, in return for the support he is getting from Museveni at this time.



Raila is a good match for Museveni and the people of both Kenya AND Uganda will benefit if he puts his foot down.



God Bless our Kenyan brothers and sisters. Now you can see what is in store for all of us should - GOD FORBID, Yoweri Museveni ever become the East African President.

maybe there is some truth in this story.

Kigali



DR Congo government forces and rebels loyal to dissident Gen Laurent Nkunda are heavily recruiting and using children traficked from Rwanda and Uganda to fight their wars, the latest UN report on the issue has indicated.



The movement of armed groups across borders to recruit children from refugee camps continues to be alarming, the report released yesterday by the UN said.





Since January 2007, the report says, there has been a surge in the recruitment and use of Congolese and Rwandan children in North Kivu from refugee camps and communities in Rwanda by forces loyal to Laurent Nkunda. Ugandan children living in the DR Congo-Uganda border areas have also been targeted.



As for how the DRC army (FARDC) comes into the equation is in a way that in November 2006, government and Gen. Nkunda agreed to mix their forces in a process known as 'mixage'. This would later create mixed brigades. This process has since fallen apart.



The mixage, according to the report resulted in the de facto presence of many children among the ranks of the new FARDC mixed brigades and their use for active combat against the Forces démocratiques de libération du Rwanda (FDLR).



Reports also indicate that increased recruitment activities were carried out in North Kivu, as well as in Rwanda and Uganda, prior to and throughout the mixage process.



The UN says this surge appears to have been linked to the strategy of commanders loyal to Gen Nkunda to increase the number of troops to be mixed and the strength of forces prior to engaging in combat operations against FDLR and the Mai-Mai in North Kivu.



The transportation of vulnerable children by both the Government and rebel groups across borders during armed conflict constitutes one of the worst forms of child trafficking, the report by the UN Secretary General's envoy on children in armed conflict, Radhika Coomaraswamy.



Following the resumption of fighting in late last year between the army and Gen. Nkunda, the UN says there have been increasing numbers of children forcefully rounded up in schools. These children are apparently given guns to fight and the girls are used for sex.



Children who escaped or were separated indicated that recruitment was ongoing in the returnee settlements of Buhambwe, Masisi territory in North Kivu. There are also the Kiziba and Byumba refugee camps in North western Rwanda, in the towns of Byumba and Mutura in Rwanda. The town of Bunagana on the border between DR Congo and Uganda is among the targeted areas.



Illegal association?



In DRC, as with Burundi and other countries, governments there are rounding up children and detaining them in large numbers for alleged association with armed groups. The Congolese government is aid to be holding these children in 'detention centres, local prisons, interrogation centres and holding camps'.



In certain situations, some of these children have been used as guides and informers for Government military operations, usually under coercion.



Many of the detained children are subjected to ill treatment, torture, forceful interrogation and deprivation of food and education, the UN says.



A total of 4,182 children, including 629 girls, were separated from armed forces and groups in the eastern region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo last year.



In Ituri - North eastern DRC, 2,472 children, including 564 girls, were separated from MRC, FRPI and FNI militia forces and 10 boys were separated from Mai-Mai forces in the remote area of Opienga in Oriental Province.



In North Kivu, 1,374 children, including 52 girls, were separated primarily from mixed brigades loyal to Laurent Nkunda and government forces and Mai-Mai militia forces. The North and South Kivu are bearing the brunt of the brutal conflict that has ravaged the eastern DRC leaving thousands displaced.



As for South Kivu province, some 336 children including 13 girls, were separated from the Mai-Mai militias and troops associated with Laurent Nkunda.

Luwero



The people of Luwero have explained why they have been stealing skulls of the victims of the 1981 - 1986 armed conflict between President Yoweri Museveni's guerrillas and government forces.



The clarification follows a New Vision report that skulls have been disappearing fast from Luwero's mass graves. Quoting official estimates, the New Vision reported that about 300,000 people were killed during the conflict, about 70,000 of whom were buried in mass graves in Luwero.





In a statement issued by their self-styled spokesman, Hajji Nah Doom, the people of Luwero said that in stealing the skulls, they were only following "government policy of grabbing anything in sight."



The Luwero people said that they have been hearing stories that government officials are grabbing everything they can lay their hands on, including public funds, lands, and even schools.



"Our understanding is that it is the policy of the government to grab, grab and grab. As people who have always supported the government, to the extent of sacrificing lives during the bush war, we consider it our duty to support it in this policy of grabbing things," Hajji Doom said.



He added that since there wasn't really much to grab in Luwero, they had resorted to grabbing skulls to express their support.



"Of course, we would have preferred to grab government land, forests or schools, but we don't have much of that here. In any case, those are reserved for the big men and women in government. The only thing we seem to have in reasonable numbers here are the skulls. That's why it is the skulls we are going for," the Luwero spokesman said.



He explained to The Analyst that initially, the people of Luwero were "stupid enough" to go demanding from government what they considered to be due to them instead of just grabbing things.



"If you remember, many of us here marched to Kampala to demand compensation for our cows and other property that were grabbed during the bush war. We were chased away like common criminals, which gave us the idea that government hates people who ask. It would rather that we just stole, which is why the skulls are disappearing," he said.



Asked what the people of Luwero would do with the skulls, Hajji Doom said that he didn't know. "The point is not what we shall do with the skulls but rather, the act of stealing them. At least now the government knows that we support its policy of grabbing public and sometimes even private property," he said.

Hoping for relief from M7's reign of destruction

Last updated : 07 Jul 2008, Kampala

By a Reader



Iam realy impressed with the revelations coming from Sudan. It is now very clear that NRA(UPDF) are the ones who killed the people in Acholi, Lango and Teso lands. Museveni has done serious evil to Uganda than any of the leaders Uganda has ever had. Look at thses facts:



When he took over power, he roasted people at Mukura in Teso. The army (NRA) came disguised as rustlers and stole their cows. He destroyed their culture, education and everything.



In the North, he killed, looted their cattle and destroyed their culture. All the good schools in the north are destroyed. People who were lured to return home eg. Opon Acak, Museni killed them all. Omaria and Ejalu became just vegetables.



Busoga region, he used Kazibwe and now he is causing confusion in that Kingdom and again claims to help in solving the problem.



Central, he used the Baganda and now wants to take over their land. Look at the street of Kampala, the dominant language is Runyankole (Bahima language).



The Army for the past 23 years is mono-ethnic. No full General from anywhere except from the West. J.J. Odongo was used by Museveni to steal Congo minerals and later dumped. Foolish man!



Uganda Parliament is a place for very few mindful people, the rest are goofs. In the early part of 1990s, when the RPF/A left Uganda, no member of parliament has asked the NRM government to explain why the so called "refugees" would be in Uganda's Army and why when leaving left with vast numbers of weapons and ammunitions bought by our tax payers money? We demand for an explanation. Has there been compensation?



Who killed Dennis Ecwou, MP for the then Soroti West constituency? Museveni knows about this. In 1979/80 he was at Ecwou's village of Kalaki and knows that Ecwou was smarter than him. Will he escape?



How did he get the money to build his home at Rwakitura? Those ranches he is owning today, how did he acquire them?



Since Museveni came to power and has worked and reworked the roads in the West, the roads in the East and North are just as they were in 1986. Look at the Great North Road connecting Soroti to Lira, it is still murram and full of drum holes.



There used to be electricity connecting Soroti to Kaberamaido and the entire region but since the NRA cut and took away the wires in 1986, Kaberamaido and its neighbors have remained without electricity till now. Museveni is out destroy his "biological substances".

Where is our hope? Very soon it will come. Sure, Museveni will be tried like Charles Taylor is facing the music now. He will not excape the war crimes tribunal. We are watching very closely.



He destroyed the Ugandan Airlines, our national pride and now he flies a presidential Jet with national colors. Is he the only one to wear the colors? He should remember that we are Ugandans by descent; but he is by crook means. He is a Rwandese. How can he destroy the entire North and East for 25 years or more? Children could not go to school. At 23years,can anyone start primary one?



Museveni, your children and children's children will be hated like what Idi Amin's are today. The blood of the innocent is speaking. Those properties you are acquiring everywhere in and outside Uganda will be nationalized. We are keeping records and also now have our ESOs.



The game is becoming very interesting. All your cronies must watch. You killed Mayombo, and you think you will always remain smart? No way! You too in any case, may die in exile; if you escape. But I do not see you escaping beacuse we are monitoring land, air, water and even the 'spiritual lenses' you are using.
