LET THE WORLD READ THIS. Press Release  13/03/2018 The regime in Juba is responsible for harassment along Uganda border. The SPLA IO learnt with dismay the lame excuse made by the regime’s spy (Oliver Duku) in Moyo that the cattle raid recently carried out in Metu Sub-County was done by cattle rustlers from South Sudan; and its not surprising that a UPDF soldier who is well trained got killed in an attempt to recover the cattle. There is no such thing as cattle rustlers in the Madi or Kuku areas. These are peaceful communities being destroyed by the regime. These cattle raiders came from across the Nile in and around Pageri and Lobonok where they are herding thousands of cattle belonging to Salva Kiir, Kuol Manyang Juuk, Marial Chinoung and Makuei Lueth. The herders are professional SPLA IG soldiers deployed, armed and fed by the regime. Recently the members of Parliament in Imotong State passed a motion not to disturb the herders in Pageri since they are protecting the cattle of the president. Therefore, the regime should take responsibility for raiding cattle of innocent civilians in Metu. Some of these cattle raided can be found amongst the cattle of Salva Kiir and his cliques in Pageri and Lobonok. Secondly, the SPLA IO refuses any notion of its forces being approached by the regime’s corrupt elements to discuss issues pertaining the so called “national dialogue.” The is in response to the statement made by the new Governor of Yei River (Emmanue Adil Anthony) last Friday 09/03/2018 that; his government was ready to meet the armed groups wherever they want and agree on issues of concern which were not addressed in the earlier grass root agreement. This is unwelcome as its aimed at profiting individuals in the name of the suffering civilians and avoiding accountability. The SPLA IO only recognizes the HLRF where it’s leadership is participating; nothing less. The resistance continues. Col. Lam Paul Gabriel  SPLA IO Deputy Military Spokesperson

The regime in Juba is responsible for harassment along Uganda border.

The SPLA IO learnt with dismay the lame excuse made by the regime’s spy (Oliver Duku) in Moyo that the cattle raid recently carried out in Metu Sub-County was done by cattle rustlers from South Sudan; and its not surprising that a UPDF soldier who is well trained got killed in an attempt to recover the cattle.

There is no such thing as cattle rustlers in the Madi or Kuku areas. These are peaceful communities being destroyed by the regime. These cattle raiders came from across the Nile in and around Pageri and Lobonok where they are herding thousands of cattle belonging to Salva Kiir, Kuol Manyang Juuk, Marial Chinoung and Makuei Lueth.

UGANDA ELECTORAL COMMISSION TO ELIMINATE NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION CARDS (IDs) FOR 2021 GENERAL ELECTIONS.

By Editor
The elimination of using National IDs (Ndagamuntu) for the 2021 elections should not have come as a surprise. One would be very NAIVE to think that Bobi Wine has not prepared for this in his Business Plan under the RISK section. It is public knowledge that our EC is not independent.  It is also public knowledge that Military Dictator Yoweri Museveni will never lose an election. What stunned us this morning is when we noticed that on social media, people were mocking Bobi with his "get your Ndagamuntu".  We are on record for saying to all Our readers that the National ID is like Apartheid in South Africa. Students of History would know how those IDs were being used to arrest people, deny them jobs, deny them basic services. Consequently, Bobi was not wrong and will never be wrong on the Ndagamuntu. Except the ones attacking him and mocking him forget that in Uganda, now, no National ID (Ndagamuntu), no service.  If you have not been denied registering your child i...

However, statistics show that international arrivals from the aforementioned areas have continue to drop. The UTB requires Shs4Bn to engage international & national media houses in production of positive tourism stories to improve destination perception in light of recent controversies that shade the destination in a bad light. However, this has remained unfunded,” said La...

By Editor
        President Museveni at the passout of police officers in Masindi Friday https://www.facebook.com/1829407613953796 President Museveni has praised his Special Forces Command [SFC] guards for properly and legally beating National Unity Platform [NUP] presidential flagbearer, Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine. “The other day, there was a fracas in West Nile where our young friend Bobi Wine was fighting security people,” Museveni said Friday while passing out police recruits at Kabalye Training School in Masindi district. “I think they beat him a bit and then they came and said a Member of Parliament has been beaten. I said let me study and see how he was beaten. I found the man had been beaten in the right way,” Museveni explained. “This was because…I think this was SFC people who are not police-minded. They are used to doing other things. But somehow they managed to act properly, I was surprised.” When they [SFC] went where this young man was in the room, he had ca...
