“We cannot pretend that all is well because now we have more questions than answers. We continue to ask why our Children die shortly after elevation to positions of power. For all those who think
Jacob Oulanyah stood in their way, please Forgive us, forgive him and give us a chance to grieve peacefully. We shall all die, it’s a matter of time. We are all designed with a different mode of death” – Rwot David Onen Acana, Acholi Paramount chief (Entebbe One, 21.03.2022).
“There is a planned move to eliminate all the sons of Acholi that are rising, government needs to explain” (…)The government should tell us clearly, if the people of Acholi are not worthy owning any key position in this country so that we tell our sons who are still remaining to resign”– Hon. Gilbert Oulanya, Kilak South MP (100.2 Galaxy FM Zzina!, 21.03.2022).
Well, the later Speaker isn’t alone dying in mystery. Riddled with questions and trying to find reasons for his demise. Jacob Oulanyah is following countless of people into the afterlife. While the living is trying to figuring out why he died and for what reasons. As he had the world by the balls and now everything was taken away from him.
There been high ranking officials who has fallen very ill and died. There been generals and opposition figures who has done the same. There been assassinations, murders and unsolved mysterious, which are haunting the authorities and the ones in-charge. As people are dying and without any sort of explanation.
What is also significant is that the murders, the assassinations and other mysterious deaths are left in the cold. With no redeeming answers to the ones remaining or the greater public at large. As the big-men, high ranking officials and other associates are found dead or killed, but nothing is said or done to settle the cases. Instead, the government, the authorities and whatnot shelves the cases and let them be gone from memory. That’s at-least how it seems from the outside.
As they are at one moment parading suspects and showing up possible culprits. However, none of them are tested or proven guilty. Therefore, it all falls flat and the ones behind the deaths are left alone. They can just find the next victim and move-on. Because, they know the authorities and the state will not seek after them.
With that in mind, the unfortunate demise of Oulanyah is following a pattern, which gets people to suspect poisoning. This sort of trick of the state has been done in the past, as they have claimed blood-clot and similar illnesses from people, which until very the end was deemed as healthy and fit. Alas, this being Generals and other High Ranking Officials who suddenly fell ill and died. This is why people and the Acholi leaders are questioning this as well…
It is very natural to do. Especially, with the knowledge of what has happened in the past and not so long ago. This make sense, but also sends a frightening signal, as this means the state and their authorities possible can be behind these mysterious deaths. Which in a sense, makes anyone possible targets and could at one point or another face the same fatal blow. Therefore, the need for resolve is apparent.
That resolve and report of what really happened and caused his death. Not only pre-texted statements, without further explanations. As this all happened after he got appointed to Speaker and since then his been very ill. That’s how conspiracies are starting and they can easily run loose. While we know of several of other cases, which has never been resolved. Therefore, we shouldn’t expect this one either. Peace.
