MUSEVENI UNLEASHES ANOTHER BUNCH OF "EDUCATED" TORMENTORS
Over the weekend, Uganda"s military dictator presided over the passing out of 3,958 newly recruited UPDF soldiers who have completed their one-year basic military training at Kaweweta. Of these, 36 soldiers are female and overall, 108 are university graduates, 500 have Advanced Level School Certificate; 300 possess Ordinary Level School Certificate while a number of others have Diplomas and Certificates.
Of all the past regimes, the Museveni military regime has excelled in attracting the most educated soldiers. However, the sad sad part of it is that these so-called educated soldiers have excelled in the worst human rights abuses, robberies, theft of public resources, corruption and general abuse of office. Everywhere, they have been during Museveni's military expeditions outside Uganda, reports of rape, sexual exploitation, smuggling and outright diversion to personal use of field logistics emserge.
Domestically, the army has excelled in state inspired gross abuse of human rights. It is used by the Museveni regime to brutally suppress any form of political dissent. For Ugandans, news of such passing out of new soldiers signifies a replenishment of Museveni's tools of repression. The usual propaganda aside, never in the history of Uganda has the country witnessed such a repressive army and the worst is in the offing.
INFORMATION IS POWER AND THE PROBLEM OF UGANDA IS MUSEVENISM
