Uganda: NRM Has Perfected the Art of Ethnic State

The article: "MUK dons clash over tribalism", that appeared in the New Vision of May 2, was a total distortion of my representation at the workshop. The discussion was about recent Kenyan experience and the lessons Uganda could draw from it.

This is sad but unfortunately true. It is often said a thief is the first to call others thieves; or an arsonist is the first at the scene of the fire pretending to be a firefighter - not everybody who claims they are freedom fighters are REALLY who they say they are. Shouldn't actions speak louder than words ? Yes, talk is cheap. And leaders should walk the talk. This has to be the worst sectarian government Uganda has ever had; even Idi Amin couldn't accomplish what NRM has managed to. And to think that they preached and still preach against sectarianism ad nauseum makes the cynicism and the glaring hypocrisy ever so nausating. Shame on NRM for slicing and dicing Uganda. They have, for what now - twenty five years, north against south, bantu angainst non-bantu, bairu against hima, and ghost soldiers fighting ghosts and shadows. Obviously Uganda is in a desparate need for change. At a minimum it doesn't need leadership that has a primordial obsessive complex to cling to guns to obtain and retain power. The Karamojong made guns before NRM thought of dymistying it!
