Well, the ultimate book on the March 2000 Kanungu massacre has recently been published, and it is a great read. Well-researched, balanced and simply informative. "Ashes of faith: a doomsday cult's orchestration of mass murder in Africa", is written by the Ugandan journalist/physician, Dr Bwire (he has also written another book, but I have not read it, so I can't say much on that score). I highly recommend this great work.

The Bible. This is the book I have ready for many years. Strange about this book, you can read the same verse time after time, and each time you find new meaning. This book has an answer to every situation you might find in your life. The book was well researched, balanced and very informative. You find no fanatism, in fact it is not for the fanatics or extremists. Once you have bought this book, you are free to write in it, making your notes or even underline interesting or relevant verses, as you read along.

The 'Movement for the Restoration of the Ten Commandments of God, ' a Ugandan millenarian cult, proclaimed the end of the world on December 31, 1999. The cult claimed that Virgin Mary had delivered this message directly to its three leaders: a half-insane failed politician, a defrocked Catholic priest and a former prostitute. When the world failed to end, the disillusioned faithful demanded a refund of property and money generously donated to the cult leadership. Unable to quell the rising tide of unrest, the cult leaders conceived a macabre plan of permanently stifling dissenting voices. On March 17, 2000, the cult led its unsuspecting followers through a literal baptism of fire. Over 550 men, women and children perished in true flames as they waited for their salvation from a sinful world. Subsequent investigations uncovered a series of mass graves, bringing the total killed to over one thousand -- the largest death toll linked to a doomsday cult in recent human history.



What a gross atrocity committed in abuse of faith. Thanks for bringing this to our attention Kalisa.
