Barbarism and Terrorism Promoting State, Asked to Send Soldiers in Somalia: Uganda

Fanatic and biased Western journalists, ranging from Anti-Kushitic and Anti-Somali racists to hidden "White Race" supremacists, defend the presence of AMISOM forces in parts of multi-divided Somalia; they fail to respond why AU does not decide to also send troops to other parts of Somalia, such as Puntland and Somaliland.

What is worse, these prepaid gangsters and pseudo-journalists avoid any reference to the origin of these obscure AMISOM soldiers; people allover the world are confused and misled to imagine that these soldiers can possibly represent any type of international legitimacy; in fact, they do not.

An important number of the viciously Anti-Somali and Anti-Islamic AMISOM forces originate from Uganda. Many may remember that back in the 70s this uncivilized realm was ruled by the cannibal Idi Amin Dada; once upon a time, his female Foreign Minister was caught in flagrante delicto in the toilets of Orly Airport, Paris – where she had found necessary to consummately enjoy sex with her partner.

This was too bad for her because back in her country, the cruel and monstrous dictator decided to punish her, and asked her for ….. marriage. Upon hearing the abysmal news, the sexy Foreign Minister fled away, as she knew that Idi Amin Dada, to punish an earlier wife, executed his decision personally, by eating her! This is Ugandan Ethics, Justice, Civilization and Mores! (More in detail: http://www.zimbio.com/Idi+Amin/articles/13/The+Princess+and+Idi+Amin)

As it seems, the same barbarism, corruption, iniquity and monstrosity still prevail in the country that is considered "able" to send troops abroad. To further document my plea for immediate removal of the AMISOM cannibals from Somalia, I republish two IRIN reports that highlight the absolute Uganda’s incapacity to send troops abroad.

Uganda: Officials Arrested Over Fake IDs for Refugees
http://www.irinnews.org/PrintReport.aspx?ReportId=84772

Kampala, 9 June 2009 (IRIN) - The Ugandan police have arrested about a dozen local council officials who have been helping Rwandan refugees living in camps in the southwest obtain false identification documents to enable them to stay in Uganda and thus avoid voluntary repatriation.

"I can confirm that we are holding a number of camp chairpersons in Isingiro district," Polly Namayi, spokeswoman for the Ugandan police in the region, told IRIN on 7 June.

She said the police had arrested local officials from the Nakivale and Kyaka settlements over the scam in which about 500 Rwandans obtained documents falsifying their identities.

Nakivale is home to about 11,000 Rwandan refugees, most of whom fled to Uganda after the 1994 genocide.

Namayi said the refugees who had escaped were trying to integrate into the local population and had settled in areas as far away as Mubende in the central region. Once arrested, she said, the refugees would be treated as illegal immigrants.

Ongoing repatriation

Tarsis Kabwegyere, Uganda’s Minister for Relief and Disaster Preparedness, told IRIN the government was investigating the scam, which had affected Ugandan efforts to decongest its camps. Camp numbers have been swelling since 2008 due to an influx of refugees fleeing conflict in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.

On average, about 20 Rwandan refugees have been fleeing Ugandan camps every day since May, fearing repatriation, according to security officials.

Recently, a delegation of Rwandan local government officials traveled to the Kyaka, Nakivale and Orikyinga camps to encourage more refugees to return home. According to Kabwegyere, the delegation met Ugandan government officials to discuss ways of ensuring the exercise ran smoothly.

"We agreed to implement more awareness campaigns," he said, adding that corruption scams were partly to blame for slowing down the exercise.

Joanna Pollonais, a communications officer with the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) in Rwanda, told IRIN that since the start of the exercise, UNHCR Rwanda had received only 1,364 refugees, far fewer than the 20,000 in Ugandan camps.

When the voluntary repatriation exercise ends on 31 July, UNHCR will explore other options for those who have not been repatriated, including local integration, and relocation to a third country, said Vanessa Akello, UNHCR communications officer in Uganda, adding that the agency would not support coercive returns.

Officials say some Rwandan refugees in Uganda have warned others not to return to Rwanda for fear of being prosecuted over genocide-related crimes. Last month, Denis Bikesha, the head of mobilization in the traditional Gacaca courts, traveled to Uganda to allay the refugees’ fears by educating them about the workings of the courts.

DRC-Uganda: LRA Reprisal Attacks Increase in the Northeast
http://www.irinnews.org/Report.aspx?ReportId=84787

Kinshasa, 10 June 2009 (IRIN) - Civilians in northeast Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) villages are continuing to flee repeat reprisal attacks by the Ugandan rebel Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA). The attacks have been provoked by ongoing anti-LRA operations by the DRC army in the region, according to locals.

"The LRA continues to attack the villages, which they burn and loot, and kidnap civilians," Leandres Bwilu, the administrator of the worst-affected territory of Dungu, in Orientale Province, told IRIN.

Humanitarian officials said those affected had not been assisted due to a lack of access.

"More than 1,500 displaced people, who are until now without assistance, arrived in Dingila [village] fleeing the latest LRA attacks on several villages," said a humanitarian official who requested anonymity.

The official said the village of Dakwa, 420km east of Dungu, was among those attacked.

"Suspected LRA elements attacked Dingila; they looted and kidnapped [an unknown number of] civilians," said Francesca Fontanini, external relations officer for the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR).

The last attack was on 6 June. "It caused panic in the villages of Dungwe and Dakwa, from where the residents have fled," Fontanini said.

Radio Okapi, run by the UN Mission in the DRC, reported that the village of Rudu, where one person was killed, had been abandoned after the attack. It also said that at least 800 people had crossed the border to seek refuge in Southern Sudan.

Some 16,000 Congolese have crossed into Southern Sudan since January because of the attacks, said Fontanini.

She said the zones under LRA assault were difficult to access due to a lack of roads. The area also lacks adequate telephone coverage, making communication difficult.

"The humanitarian response is not easy but the humanitarian [workers] carried out [aid] drops last week; we sent to Dungu part of the aid from Entebbe, Uganda, and we are looking to distribute [where access is available]," she said.

The LRA have intensified attacks against civilians in the northeast since the end of December 2008 after the Congolese army, with the forces of Uganda and Southern Sudan, launched offensives against the rebels.

Aid officials in May reported that at least 12,000 people had been displaced in fresh LRA attacks.
