edit- It’s a total lie to say government has marginalized northern Uganda because we have programs like peace recovery and development plan,Northern Uganda social action funds and agricultural live good recovery program which is not there in other districts
- There are learned people and they should help our community to come out of the bad situation but not to mislead them on secession story
- although the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) insurgency devastated the north, the government has spared no effort to put socioeconomic transformation back on track.
