my visit to northern uganda
Related to country: Uganda


It was fun when i got into the bus going to the north
and it was tears when i was coming back because of what i saw and still see in my dream everyday.The place looked good according to my view thou the content was so much damaged by the LRA rebels which is lord's resistance army which has fought and killed our fellow youths for the last 20 years.what would the world be if there were no guns and blodshed was my thought which wasn't given out thou.i reached the town of Lira which is the first district in the north visited some few camps and life was so hectick my friends if you could only see.helpless kids and mothers suffering,no food to eat,they are being raped and fed on expired food although the world food program is trying to give them help,not all are lucky and food means strangth so the weaker ones suffer cos you have to struggle inorder to get adrop of posho and atleast 10 beans......Now there's only one so intresting thing about these people they are so cooperative esopecially i visited one radio station in Lira called "Radio Wa" located near some catholic church[NB:This station was also once burnt down by the same rebel group..sorry]This people have avery important and encouraging program called"KARIBU" where they emphasise on welcoming back the the captured victims who were able to escape and those who surrender.Most young girls and boys are able to escape.recently we had about captains coming back and giving their views on how its useless to be in the bush.some say that they suffer alot and have northing to eat.......and yet their leader tells them that they are soon over taking the government and they see no future of his words.their leader is called Joseph Kony.Think then what can we do to make this world abetter place to live as the TIG states it"what do you think your world would be after 2015?"please lets come together as one you know its so good,its so nice and so beautiful to see people living together in asweety love and sharing what we have youths.thank you am vine2005.

Northern Uganda!! Life's a nightmare!
Thanks Vine,

This is a real post about Northern Uganda, am a resident of this area and particularly Lira town. Lived here all my life; felt, seen and gotten affected by all the nasty stuff the rebels do...
Life seems to end just in an overnight but when you wake up the next morning, it continues...
I am glad we all get concerned about the way life move on here!!
Thanks!
