AU Troops in Kenya on route to Somalia pics..

It's like saying its okay to assume most Somalis are savages because of what happened in Somalia.

It is okay to assume many of them are.

 

And it so happens that TFG supporters are suddenly righteous non-racists..

[Taako Man]

Some of you people are extremely racist and ignorant. Do you think when the slave trade was going on between America and Africa they would distinguish between you and say a Ugandan?

Duke these guys are not here to be stepped on. They are here as mediators and instituional protectors while the Somali troops are built.

 

You shoot at them prepare to get a little someting someting in return.

^Ugandans are coming to Somalia for financial interest, not for the love of milk-shakers aka daba-dhilifs among us and to scape their own troubled country.

 

 

Roundup: Ugandan gov't urges LRA rebels to renew truce

 

 

The Ugandan government has urged rebels of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) to renew the landmark Cessation of Hostilities Agreement which expires on Wednesday.

 

"We are asking the LRA to respond to our call and renew the Cessation of Hostilities Agreement, for the sake of the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs)," Okello Oryem, the minister of international affairs, was quoted as saying by the state-owned New Vision on Wednesday.

 

The government and the LRA signed a landmark cessation of hostilities agreement in August 2006 and later renewed it in December last year.

 

According to a December renewal, which is set to expire on Wednesday, the LRA rebels in the east and west of the Sudanese Equatorial Province were supposed to assemble in two designated areas in southern Sudan before the expiry of the agreement.

 

Since the signing to the agreement, there have been no major attacks by rebels on civilians in northern Uganda where 80 percent of the population was driven into IDP camps for fear of being abducted by the rebels.

 

The expiry of the truce was also debated in the Parliament on Tuesday urging the two parties not to resume hostilities so as not to interrupt the ongoing resettlement program in northern Uganda where the LRA rebellion has left over 1.4 million people displaced.

 

Oryem said government hoped that the rebel group will resume the now stalled peace negotiations aimed at ending the two-decade long LRA insurgency that has left tens of thousands of people dead.

 

"The government still hopes that the LRA delegation will return to Juba (southern Sudan). The only way forward is to engage in dialogue," he said.

 

The LRA pulled out the talks mediated by the government of southern Sudan last month demanding a change of venue and mediator before they return to the negotiation table.

 

The government, foreign envoys and donors rejected the LRA demand causing a stalemate in the talks seen as a chance to end one of Africa's longest conflicts.

 

Meanwhile, local leaders from the war-ravaged northern Uganda and key players in the diaspora are to meet on Thursday in Juba in a last ditch attempt to revive the stalled peace talks.

 

The consultative meeting, funded by Denmark and Canada, raises hope of a resumption of the talks that were abandoned by the rebels.

 

About 100 political, religious, cultural leaders and representatives of civil society organizations from northern Uganda are expected in Juba on Thursday.

 

Sources quoted by the Daily Monitor on Wednesday said the Acholi leaders would together with the LRA, the government delegation and the southern Sudan elders to chart a way forward for a resumption of the talks.

What are you implying? ICU supporters are racists? You couldn't be more than wrong. It's seculars who are racists. You, I and others know that crystal clear.

[Ebyan]

Mr.Seeflabood..the facts are crystal clear, open your eyes and take a look this forum. Whos running around screaming 'those African infected with AIDs are coming to rape our men, women and children'? Not the TFG supporters thats for sure.

[Socod_badne]

Violet,

 

You're so naive it's almost criminal. Do you think Ugandans aren't racist towards Somalis? What about whites? Asians? Even fellow muslims? Racism is human reality and Somalis are no more racist than any other group. In fact we are quite tolerant, look us tolerating dabodhilifs like your ilk.

Ms. Neocon, those aren't screams; those are facts. Many (if not most) of those AU troops are infected with AIDS, HIV or STDs, and the only thing keeping them alive is cocktail drugs. The same AU troops who are coming to Somalia have been in other African countries such as Congo. They have been involved in sexual abuse and rape, and recently the World Court accused them of conducting massacres, widespread destruction and plunder. Check this interview with Maj Felix Kulayigye:

 

QUESTION: How extensive is the pandemic in the Ugandan army?

 

ANSWER: We are obviously concerned about HIV in the army. After all, over the duration of this conflict we have lost more soldiers to HIV/AIDS than we have in combat. AIDS is a powerful enemy: in combat, soldiers can rely on their collective efforts on the battleground to defeat the enemy, but with HIV, protecting oneself and surviving takes individual effort, which is much more difficult for us to deal with.

Ms. Neocon, produce the article or report where it says they were tested.

[Ebyan]

We've played this game before kiddo..Go do your own footwork. You accused them of having AIDs so provide me with an article that states that these troops weren't tested.
