		They were foreshadowed by Amin's predecessor, Apolo Milton Obote, who suspended the 1962 constitution and ruled part of Uganda by martial law for five years before a military coup in 1971 brought Amin into power.
		Amin's bloody regime was followed by an even bloodier one -- Obote's second term as president during the civil war from 1981 to 1985, when government troops carried out genocidal sweeps of the rural populace in a region that became known as the Luwero Triangle.
		The dramatic collapse of coherent government under Amin and his plunder of his nation's economy, followed by the even greater failure of the second Obote government in the 1980s, raised the essential question--"what went wrong?" At Uganda's independence in October 1962 there was little indication that the country was headed for disaster.

		Major-General Mugisha-Muntu, who was in the Luwero Triangle with President Museveni during the latter’s five-year guerilla war, told the press recently that all the atrocities there were committed by Obote, who was not in Luwero.
		Nevertheless, the truth is that one or the other must be lying about the Luwero massacres — the one who was expected to protect the Uganda Constitution and operated in Luwero by remote control, and the one who rebelled against the Uganda Constitution and was based in Luwero.
		Both Obote and Museveni have a moral duty to accept their responsibility for the Luwero massacres — Museveni for initiating it and Obote for failing to extinguish it, thereby presiding over a country that was a killing field.

		People living in different regions of Uganda know little of what occurred in other regions, and they are vulnerable to the machinations of revisionist historians such as Amos Kjube, Editor of "The People" newspaper, a mouthpiece for the Milton Obote's old Uganda Peoples' Congress.
		Earlier this year, Kjube published a series of articles purporting to prove that in fact Museveni's forces --not those under Obote and Tito Okello -- were responsible for most of the 300,000 civilian deaths in Luwero triangle during the early 1980s.

		This issue came to a head in July 1984, when the United States assistant secretary of state for human rights and humanitarian affairs testified that between 100,000 and 200,000 Ugandans had been killed in the Luwero Triangle and that Obote's forces behaved much like Amin's army.
		The United States aid program was reoriented to focus on immediate rehabilitation priorities identified by the Ugandan government, particularly the war-damaged areas in the Luwero Triangle and in the matter of the resettlement of refugees returning from Sudan and Zaire.

		That is why when Museveni sounded the call to rise up in arms, people from all walks of life, and from different parts of the country stampeded to the "Luwero Triangle".
		Since 1981 until today, there has been and will continue to be a struggle between narrow interests against broad interests; between elitist and mass interests; between interests of the few and interests of the many; selfish ideology (obunafusi) against selfless patriotic service; neo-colonialism against liberation; subservience against resistance; reactionary/counter revolutionary forces against revolutionary/patriotic forces.

		Acoli people were condemned enmasse for having committed murders in the Luwero triangle in Buganda and as such the NRA/M7 regime was right to punish Acoli people because of those crimes they committed against the Buganda people!!
		The citizens of Luwero knew who was coming for their cassava, medical supplies and the government of the day turned the triangle into killing fields, turned it into a limbo.
		Second I think, the common theory that we (Ugandans) must condemned truly what took place in the Luwero triangle during the 1980s, where the two Elephant bulls (the NRA and UNLA) fought, or made love, which consequential results were heaps of human skeletons and skulls with continuous hatreds continues to remind us.
