REALITY CHECK

Looking at a glass darkly, Northern Uganda befits this notion. Decades of terror that led to terrific brutality cannot be erased from the minds of many

but memories were refreshed when it was revealed that 100 American troops had been sent to Uganda to help capture the rebel leader Joseph Kony, the man behind  atrocities in Northern Uganda and neighboring countries like Congo, Chad and South Sudan who has ever since been at large. 

Society welcomed the news with mixed reactions several questioning  America’s intention saying that the help comes when the dust has settled  while some scholars claim that oil discovery, the black resource is of tremendous interest and this comes as a bargaining chip. 

At the end of the day, the nation’s fate lies in the hands of policy makers.  Many opinions were aired but the bottom line is that the rule of law shall always prevail and  our leaders actions determine the fate of the nation. We hope for the death of self interest and  corruption at the expense of even distribution of resources for the development of our country.
