We are helping our Somali brothers get rid of these narrow-minded attackers. The Somali people do not support the extremists, they are on the side of our soldiers.

Our laws and institutions are excellent, but the population is not yet ready. They must develop their views and need to be provided with the right information. We now also have private broadcasters and many are very critical of me, hostile even, yet they operate freely.

Some intelligence officers filed reports saying that this is a dangerous group, but at one level it was not forwarded, it was just ignored.

None of the parties want this conflict to go on.

One of the emphases of the new democratic order is no impunity.

May the soul of the late President Milton Obote... a long-time member of this parliament, rest in peace.

My critics always forget to mention that I was democratically elected, the others were not. Everyone in Uganda can challenge me, everyone can vote, the elections are free. Not many countries have achieved what we did.
