In March 1979 Yoweri Museveni, Salim Saleh, Fred Rwigyema gave orders to the field commander of FRONASA, Eriya Mwine (better known as Chefe Ali), to go and kill 250 people in Mbarara mosque. The killing they claimed was the revenge of Ugandans against Muslims for their suffering under Amin.

In June 1979 Yoweri Museven as a minister of defence in Uganda National Liberation Front government ordered soldiers to shoot demonstrators with live bullets and killed 1,000 people and wounded thousands.

On the 6th February 1981 Museven declared a civil war in Uganda which was in Buganda region in the area which was known as Luwero triangle. He was not liked by the people of that area because of his record of killing Ugandans when he was in the Uganda National Liberation Front government which over threw Idi Amin’s government in April 1979.

He developed a strategy which they used in Tanzania to come and kill Ugandans in Uganda then go back to Tanzania and put the blame to Idi Amin’s government and army.

When they started the war in Luwero triangle they physically went during the night in the Ugandan National Liberation Army uniforms (which was the Uganda government army) and attacked the people killed as many as they could with hoes and pangas and in the morning they put the blame on the Ugandan army.

By doing this the people in the areas started to support them. This kind of killing went on and on until the war was finished in 1986 January. It seems the people who have filed this petition to the ICC were keeping records or they saw records because the details are too organised.

Property worth millions of pounds, were destroyed in the most richest part of the country where coffee the main cash crop is grown. Both Museveni and his above named senior officer were totally responsible and the Uganda National Liberation Front government mainly Milton Obote, Gen Tito Okello, Gen Bazirio, Oralla Okello, Brig David Oyite Ojok, Brig Smith Opon Acak, Paulo Muwanga and senior army officers of the Uganda National Liberation Army were all responsible and should all be brought into this court of justice and charged with massacre, murder, genocide and torture.

• On the January 25, 1986 Salim Saleh killed Captain George Nkwanga the leader of the Uganda Federal Democractic Movement (FEDEMU). All along the NRA has been deceiving Ugandans that George Nkwanga was killed by Lt. Gen. Bazillio Okello!
• On March 6, 1987 Museveni, Mugisha Muntu the director of military intelligence of the NRA, Paul Kagame deputy director Military Intelligence National Resistance Army, Jim Muhwezi director of Internal Security Organisation, Elly Kayanja, Fred Makanga Bogere, Lt. Col. Moses Drago Nyanzi, Maj Byemaro, Lt. Byakanira Ntungamu, Lt. Lucien Kasigazi Mwana and Sgt Geofrey Bunanukye killed Dr Andrew Lutankome Kayira the fighter and leader of the Uganda Freedom Movement
• In 1987 Museveni, David Tinyefuza, Salim Saleh, Mugisha Muntu, and Brig Mathias Kyaligonza killed 200 officers and men of the Uganda Freedom Movement and Uganda Federal Democratic Movement and burnt their bodies in train wagons in Tororo district.
• In 1987 Museveni and his high command mentioned before formed an intelligence organisation called the Internal Security Organisation (ISO) led by his most loyal friend Brig Jim Muhwezi to deal with threats either from the army, politicians or civilians. It was given every necessary weapons to use in its operations and all the techniques they need to cover up anything they do so that it is not found out.

This organisation has killed Ugandans and other people in the countries of the Great Lakes region where they have been involved in causing trouble. They have used cyanide poison to kill the people unnoticed. They have kept people in (safe houses) known as unacknowledged and illegal places of detention where people are kept to die of hunger and starvation.They also use plain clothes personal to locate those they want to kill and chase them during broad daylight claiming that they are thieves and the public catches them and beat them to death. They also kill people and put them in vehicles which they make to look like they have been involved in car accidents. This organisation ISO has killed very many people every year since it was formed in 1987, and it is estimated that 100,000 people are killed each year by this organisation alone.

 

• In 1991 Museveni ordered his ISO to kill Al Hajji Musa Njuki who was accusing Museveni and his government of killing the people in the great lakes region.

  Al Hajji Musa Njuki was the editor of Shariat new paper which was writing about all the crimes Museven and his army were committing to the people of the great lakes region.

• On the December 9, 1999 Museven killed 365 fighters of the Uganda Freedom Movement, Uganda Federal Democratic Movement and the Allied Democratic Force who were detained at Katojo prison indefinitely.

  The French defence attache Col Alain Caplain and the British High Commission defence adviser Lt. Col Charles Thomas OBE visited the scene where the killings took place.

• In March 2000 the Internal Security Organisation collected more than 10,000 bodies of the people they had killed in the safe houses also known as unacknowledged and illegal places of detention and put them in a church in Kanungu which was used by the believers who followed Pastor Joseph Kibwetere a friend of the NRM government and burnt the church with the dead bodies in it.

  They claimed to the out side world especially the western European media which always support Museveni’s version of events that the believers burnt themselves but when the people checked the bodies they found out that some of the bodies had bullet wounds others strangled and others died of starvation and hunger this was a cover up as the NRM policy of massacring people and cover up.

• In 2002 Museveni with his high command formed another killing squad in addition to the Internal Security Organisation called Operation Wembley led by his old notorious murderer since 1981 in the Luwero Triangle massacres Col Elly Kayanja.

This squad was composed of brutal and ruthless criminals whom Museveni trained to eliminate his political opponents this squad have killed thousands of people every year since it was formed and claimed that it is killing thieves who carry guns.

Relatives of those who have been killed have tried to reason with the authorities to show the proof they have which led to their killings but the authorities as usual have instead threatened to kill the relatives.

This squad like the Internal Security Organization is above the laws of Uganda and only answerable to Lt. Gen. Museveni alone. Since 1986 when the National Resistance Movement came into power the people of the great lakes region have faced brutality intimidation and lived in fear of the cruel regime of Yoweri MusevenI and his Army National Resistance Army (Uganda Peoples Defence Force) in Northern Uganda Southern Sudan and Eastern Uganda people have never lived in peace even a single day.

Museveni created first Alice Lakwena whom he claimed to fight his National Resistance Army government from 1986 to 1989. And from 1989 – 2007 he created Joseph Kony of the Lords Resistance Army and created the rebels of the Lords Resistance Army from his own army senior officers and intelligence personnel from military intelligence and Internal Security Organization to torture kill displace rape and cause misery to the people of Northern Uganda Southern Sudan and Eastern Uganda for twenty one years.

Nobody can stop Museveni in the great lakes region from torturing and massacring the people unless the international courts intervene and call Yoweri Museveni to answer for the crimes he had committed to the people of the Great Lakes.
