After reading the BBC report, link here: www.bbc.co.uk... I am utterly shocked and disgusted to read of children being murdered. It is almost beyond belief that such primative, brutal acts of evil continue upon the face of the earth. This paints a very bleak picture of Uganda and will do your country no favours in the International Community and I assure you this story will go viral on the world wide web. I really feel this could be addressed. Your police are obviously turning a blind eye. You need to end this treatment of children NOW. Not even one more death. Please can you forward this email to whichever department are responsible for law and order in Uganda. Thank you for your time and Godspeed in ending this wicked and evil practice. It is all just a lot of mumbo jumbo money making murder and there is no reality to this insanity. It has to end. yours sincerely. xxxxxxxxxxxx

The Police don't do anything about it Please write to the Ugandan authorities about this. I am sure with a little pressure from the International Community they will come down heavily on this. I appeal to you to help make this viral.

It happens in the West to!! that's what makes it our business. If we disagree with it here then we most certainly can be critical of it happening over there.

Morality is not confined to boarders, and cultural diversity is as beautiful, however 'Culture' does not act as an umbrella word for, abduction, mutilation, dismemberment and murder.

Then we deal with it when it arises in our own countries. Stop arrogantly forcing your morals onto other cultures. What is acceptable there may not be acceptable to us, but since it is their culture, in their country, keep your nose out. If there are problems, their government needs to be the one to deal with it.

What makes you think it hasn't arisen in your country? How many immigrants from Uganda and other African Nations are there now in Europe and America? Do you think they are going to forget all about their traditional superstitions because they now live somewhere else? Think again.
BTW - expecting an African government to deal with anything is like expecting your pet dog to suddenly acquire wings and fly. I live in Africa, I know.

I've lived there. They have fast food and mobiles on the streets of Kampala but the old beliefs live on. I have friends there. Many years ago they were told by the nursery their child attended that the doors were being kept locked as they feared a child being kidnapped to sacrifice on the foundations of a new Shell garage. The irony of the old and the new together...
Tribalism, nepotism, corruption - it's all there in spades. I know we aren't squeaky clean but civilisation there is just a veneer. Up in the north they kidnap kids to rape and use as child soldiers. It's common to get one kid to kill another kid as a 'test'. Kill or be killed. They cut off peoples lips. Someone stealing a banana off a stall might very well be killed by a mob.
Ugandan Asians are back on the streets running businesses. The average black Ugandan hasn't a clue - sorry. My friends have had to bring in Kenyans to help with the business because they work better and are sharper.
You have to ask (and I don't give a stuff if people think it's racist) why they haven't advanced further. Why most of the population is living in huts and cooking on outdoor fires while a select few swan around in beautiful marble floored houses with an army of staff and a fleet of Pajeros.
That country has had so much aid, the streets ought to be paved with gold by now.
The UK alone is committed to spending 98 million pounds a year there.

Lets call it guilt money for the sins of colonialism. But they can't go on forever blaming everyone else for the way they are.
Plus they also get massive aid from elsewhere.
If we cut off the money feed, they might sit up and pay attention.edit on 12-10-2011 by starchild10 because: (no reason given)
