Kasese Clashes seems like a total cover-up and the numbers doesn’t add-up!

kasese-04-12-2016

There are something that doesn’t seem right today, as there are reported that that over 50 people who has been unidentified by the locals in Kasese being buried together. As they are all lifted of the Police Wagon and buried in the ground.

“Burial of 52 unidentified bodies at Rukoki UPDF army barracks in Kasese; religious leaders lead prayers” (NBS TV Uganda, 04.12.2016).

There is with sadness that so many people are buried, not by their own families and not by their folks as these are remains of their bodies and souls have lost even the humanity of grief as the Police Commanders and Priest are praying over their fall. Imagine if this was your brother who in a little moment we’re they dug a unknown grave to at an Army Barracks, by people associated with the ones who might killed him. That isn’t respectful, but shows the extent of how the Republic violated the trust between themselves and the society at large.

The Uganda People’s Defence Force with French speaking soldiers, most likely M23 cadres who has gotten free-pass after the surrounding of Goma and the amnesty from the government of Uganda in 2013. So the red-hats we’re around the compound and inside the palace on the days of questions, as the leaked clips from Police Officers has showed military men speaking French, which a token of the M23 connection to the authorities that happen at Buhakira Royal Palace in Kasese.

With that in mind it we’re reported the army, but they are now collectively with the Major General Muhoozi Kainerugaba of the Special Force Command, which we’re in charge directly we’re Brigadier Peter Elewu who always will have has hands tainted of the affair. This as Minister of Interior Jeje Odongo blamed the Royal Guards for the sieged palace attacks. While the leaked clips in the recent 48 hours shows the gates opened up in peace when the soldiers arrive before the attacks transpired.

With the knowledge of over 52 unknown buried today, with reported also that families we’re able to identify at the mortgages in Kasese about 70 bodies. There has been alone in these calculations over a 120 royal guards killed plus the 130 who we’re detained after it all. As well as 15 kids who we’re in and around the area who has not been accounted for and still has surfaced. This with the knowledge of the 14 police officers who lost their lives and the royal guards we’re official numbers 48 Royal Guards. That doesn’t add up in any math-class.

If there we’re only as AIG Andrew Felix Kaweesi claimes still that the official number 62 total dead after the Kasese Clashes, than who are the 52 unknown buried from? Did they just drop dead and arrived on a yellow bus up the hill from a Safe-House around Kampala? Where did they come from; as well as the reported 70 identified Royal Guards that has gotten buried by families and friends. Not been buried on a UPDF Barracks grounds; which is the killers donating dirt to the ones who suffered their demise.

So the Police Force and the government tries to dummy it down, tries to deduct their numbers and make the people into submission with wrongful statements, as there aren’t even conducted proper statements for the ones in the fires and killings in the rest of Kasese District the same week, as the army attacked other places, which mattered to the Kingdom and where they had royal guards.

So the numbers of now is more likely to rise again, when the cover-ups are shed lights on as the people talks and the circulated information are coming. But 70 identified, 52 unidentified, 14 Police Officers and plus the unaccounted for is more than 62 by calculation. So the lies are very evident and clear. The Government tries to overshadow the reality and their own shoddy behaviour where they went to burn down a Royal Palace and get rid of a Kingdom. This happens without any for-warning for civilians or anybody else.

The worry is how easily this information get pushed around without questions; that the newly buried men are not counted in as it is close to artificial number the Police has offered as fact. That isn’t a mere opinion, but fact from their official spokesperson who lies more deeply without any flinch of the eye-lid compared to his comrade Fred Enaga. AIGP Kaweesi lies so much, that truths are myths to fellow human being and his existence.

All the leaked material shows the disrespectful attack the Police together with the Army and M23 had on the Palace, as well as the Kenyan leaked clips where the Army even buried men alive on the compound. Which I am sure has not been accounted for and the ones that we’re taken by the fire, if there we’re any are surely as well not accounted for. There are so many lives that don’t matter to the authorities and the families are left in the dark. The Republic is left in the dark when these matters are unsolicited for and are acted upon in this way.

The reality is that too many lived died on that weekend and week in question in November 2016. The reality is that the men behind are saved behind shields of comfort by the ruling regime who don’t have capacity to see their evil intents and acts upon their own. The reasoning behind this attack on humanity is still in the wind as the fellow response from the world other than a U.S. Travel Advisory has been a true evidence that the deaths doesn’t matter to them either; which in itself is worrying sign of how much evil a regime can do without consequence from their fellow allies and trading-partners. This kind of acts should make the donors start stuttering for their affiliation with this regime. Parts of me wish this was a gay-club shootout in Kampala, than the rainbow nations would show some concern and condemn it, but since these men and woman we’re connected to a Monarchy in the Mountains of Rwenzori, than it wasn’t to worry about; which is disgraceful from anyone who values lives over monies.

We can all question the behaviour and condemn the attack on the Royal Palace, the days after and the aftermath we’re all cronies has tried to certify the Obusinga bwa Rwenzurururu Charles Wesley Mumbere as a “terrorist” and having a terrorist group, with a pistol given by IGP Kayihura, an AK-47 and a bunch of machetes. While the army came in with sophisticated weaponry and rifles, used bombs and burned the palace down to total utter destruction of the Palace. As they acted more like terrorist, as the Royal Guards as by leaked films greeted and welcomed the army inside. So the truth will overcome the nonsense.

But what we can all take from this, the Ugandan Government doesn’t value the lives of their own citizens, as it could easily send in army get rid of royal guards, take king as prisoner and burns down his palace without warrant or warning. Seal of the town of Kasese and evacuate all people and detain a journalist for filming matters. So the matter of consistent disregard for the people Kasese has been from the get-go.

The motives and the reasons behind the attacks, can be many or a few… it can be the creations of districts, can be clearing way for the planned military compounds in the district as there been speculated that Museveni wants to re-enter into DRC and the mineral rich areas across the boarders! But that is all speculation at this point. We cannot know at this point. We cannot see the reason or added reality for the massive attack on humanity that happen at Kasese. We cannot adjust or amend the reality for the ones that already we’re taken for granted and killed by a gang of merciless government security agents. This is mere fact, but the reason behind the killings, burnings and destruction of a monarchy is still unknown.

When the truth will surface is unknown as the many victims of the clashes in Kasese. The truth might be smeared and beholden to few powerful men, but all the dead deserve more than what they getting. These men and woman, these people who lost their own in mere hours that weekend needs answers, need recognition and needs the truth. While the government might need it deeply sealed, because they went all-in without concern of life or justice. They sent their mercenaries and killed their own. We can all see that because of the staggering numbers of dead that appeared after it all; what is worse they might be wrong and not bring justice to the total dead. Which proves how much loss of life happened and why the people of Kasese deserves something else than the spin-control of the authorities that we’re in-charge of violence that day.

Peace.

South Sudan: Horror and violence is rampant; civilians are in the cross-fire!

South Sudan Food Crisis

Just as Radio Tamazuj has been through a scandalous closure after being reviewed by certain organizations for their coverage of the recent months of violence between the SPLM/A and the SPLM/A-IO, that have been. This proves the situation and the dire state of the South Sudan.

While this is happens the Catholic Radio Network reports:

Be friendly and exposed to media to reach your expectations and needs of your people, Managing Director of Hamming Bird Action for Peace and Development in Yambio advises. Minaida Peter Jamus says once people are flexible in carrying community work using media, there will be easy education and collection of feedback from the community, Radio Anisa reports. He urges workers to be creative and active in carrying their responsibilities” (CRN, 02.12.2016).

The UN Reported on possible situation similar to the Rwandan Genocide in 1994, as the battles between the government and rebels continues sparking in different regions of the country. Days after this the Norwegian Government pops by Juba to congratulate the Police Officers that gone through their programme in the country.

While the UNMISS has enough work to keep the crowds and citizens fleeing the battles into the Protection of Civilians sites, just by October 2016 the 9 sites in the republic, that is in the states of Central Equatoria, Unity, Upper Nile, Jonglei and Western Bahr El Ghazal. These PoC sites had 204,918 civilians, that we’re reported on 1st November 2016. These are staggering numbers are civilians fleeing from internal conflict and power-struggle between the big-men of the republic.

Oxfam is reporting that the Uganda is accepting about 4,000 refugees daily from the South Sudan. This is happening while the Ugandan Government and big-men tries to keep their businesses alive in Juba. Together with the army has showed that they have sold weapons to SPLA, as even been reported in UN Reports been sold without valid records.

Human Rights Watch has been able to report that rebels and even government troops has recruited child soldiers inside the battles, this is happening while the reports of 4000 huts been burned in and around the Wau. How many more huts and villages that been attacked during the recent months. Can only the world wonder and even the soldiers themselves in the hunt of following orders of the big-men’s quest of either power or continuing to hold power. In Yei River State the government forces and the rebels have destroyed about 1900 huts, where the people used to live (Cathrine Molly McPhee, 02.12.2016).

The UNMISS will get more Bangladeshi Peacekeepers has they have promised more troops and the Japanese will extend their mandate in South Sudan. The Ethiopian Government has said they will banish the SPLM/A-IO from having bases inside the country, as they don’t accept Dr. Riek Machar presence anymore. While the SPLM/A-IO are reported to have bases inside Democratic Republic of Congo, where there said that MONUSCO is providing safety for certain parts of the SPLM/A-IO. Even as the DRC Government also said they do not need another guerrilla or militia inside their borders. As they want a friendly relationship with Juba government. Still, the fluid borders leave the possibility of the rebels to stay there.

The SPLM/A-IO have even been banished from Kenya and even their senior leadership and spokesperson has been deported to the capital of the republic without any for-warning as the Kenyatta Government trying to also have a friendly relationship with the Juba government as they want to in the future have a possibility of a crude-oil pipeline down to Lamu-Port and the LAPSSET. So the economic aspect means more than the actual peace, as the Kenyan Government also working on pulling out their forces inside the UNMISS mission as they feel disrespected for axing of the Lt. Gen. Ondieki after the July skirmishes inside Juba. While China has offered something new to the UNMISS today: “China will send an infantry battalion of 700 peacekeepers in South Sudan, including a 13-soldier female squad, the army unit dispatching them said Friday. It is the third batch of Chinese peacekeepers sent to South Sudan. From Sunday, they will take United Nations charter flights to the mission area, replacing the second batch of Chinese peacekeepers. The female infantry squad will carry out humanitarian relief and protect the rights of women and children, said Ding Hailong, battalion commander” (NF Online, 02.12.2016).

The United Nations Security Council is working on Arms Embargo, but nothing is really happening on the matter; the world is waiting on the shelving of it or making it soft so the arms rise can continue between the between the forces.

This is happening while the reports yesterday prove that the neighbours help President Salva Kiir Mayardit with guns:

The reported said South Sudan embassy deputy attaché in Ethiopia Lt. Col. Solomon Tor Kang has sent a quotation of 55,000 US dollars to South Sudan army chief Gen. Paul Malong Awan in the light of dispatching the military packages. Ethiopia’s Defence Ministry supplied South Sudan embassy in Ethiopia with fifty five thousand US dollars quotation as charges for transport fees from Dukem/Daluta to Debrezeit Air Force Base, the amount is inclusive of air base handling, loading and offloading fees, says the document” (…) “This military hardware awaiting passage to Juba include 20,000 pieces of Rocket 107 MM, 7,964 quantities of 60 MM Mortar, 20,000 pieces of RGD-5 Hand Grenade and among other classifications of different kinds of military hardware” (Ethsat, 01.12.2016).

So the arms continues from the good friends to delivered, as the government and rebels are having harder and harder time to deliver aid and needed supplies to the civilians. We can wonder why the International Community isn’t answering with stronger mandate and acts on the rebellion that started yet again in July 2016.

So the continues infighting in different areas together with the international support of the PoC sites and get the needed supplies. Together with the reports of drought and lacking systems of food security in many areas, that might even get hit worse in early 2017. This is happening while the reports of violence, possible genocide and epidemic of rapes. These reports are brutal and this could be our sisters and brothers that are living in crisis, forgotten and not seen as important by their own republic. A republic that does what they can to keep power for the Transitional Government of National Unity (TGNU) who uses all sorts of army force and decrees to silence their own.

We cannot imagine the horrors and violence that the civilians endure, as they are going to unsecure situations and waiting in foreign nations like DRC, Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda. As the neighbours is even selling weapons to the Juba Administration that will keep up the violence towards their own civilians, Peace!
