I must start by saying that i am not a fan of M7 but i applause Uganda for standing up to defend itself against defamation by the so called "mighty powers" who for years supported Museveni ignoring the corruption, human rights abuses and the pain of Ugandans, just because they wanted to use Museveni to accomplish their listed interest. Danmark, Britain, and Ireland suddenly also woke up and has frozen aid to Uganda until the fund channeled through the Office of the Prime Minister (OPM) is accounted for. My questions are, where were they to carry these measures in the last 27 years when the people of Northern Uganda were used as bait for aid by the government, the aid that never reached them? Where were they to hold government accountable for the daily reported high level of corruption, human rights abuses within Uganda? They chose to pay a deaf ear to the ordinary people, a deaf ear to the suffering of the ordinary innocent Ugandans that disappeared, and those killed for trying to stand out for their rights? Instead they continuously funded the government which money went to enrich the few within government.
