Pondering about death and how it never fears to confront even the mighty of this world then I started thinking about God.
In President Musevenis eulogy about Gen.Tumwine it came out clearly that the first bullet fired by the General was actually by mistake and it happened because the Gen. had cowardised on the time of attack.
According to the President, a mistake by Gen . Tumwine’s bullet later turned out lucky that they were not caught by the government and Tanzanian forces in Kabamba barracks and the mission to take guns aborted!
The President attributed this to the power of God who saved them on the fateful day.
This was a criminal group, which had set out to steal guns, kill innocent police officers, people in Luwero and else where but they also allege God helped!
When I reverse the clock and consider what happened in Luwero in 1981 when luwero police station was attacked, and about 6-9 police officers died, our teacher Mr.Lombe was killed and 22 others including my schoolmate Benya.
In 1982 the same police station was hit, drugs from Kasana health centre stolen, and the luwero District treasury was ransacked and looted , I can’t believe this was God in action.
Forgetting about the war and its complications , I can imagine maybe the rebels had good intentions then.
How about today, when the very reasons and mistakes that sparked the war are coming back even more grave and compounded than before.
What will Nakwedde of Kayunga whose election was stolen in broad day light attest to God if given opportunity to witness General Tumwines final day with God.
What will Kawumas family say when they get an opportunity to find God on the last day of judgement.
What does Hon. Ssegirinyas mother ask of God when she kneels for prayers?
Does she say, thank you you God for enabling these people to get power and arrest our innocent Baganda men?
How about Nakweddes’ prayer in Kayunga?
Does she say thank you Lord for enabling this government which brought democracy and fairness?
How about listening in to the several families which have been terminally frustrated by killing their loved ones with impunity?
Can we imagine them thanking the almighty for saving the group that survived when Gen. Tumwine fired the mistake bullet?
How about the Ugandans whose treasury and future have been robbed dry , do they really thank God for divine intervention?
How about the people of Luwero who are languishing in abject poverty with nothing to show for a war that took their loved ones and property. ¹
Who can stand on his 3 legs to say the situation Ugandans find themselves in is the work of a well-meaning God?
Am beginning to think, dont attribute everything to God because even Satan has an agenda for his people.
Satan also answers prayers and protects people who do his missions.
A thief out to steal property prays to be protected from being caught and a pilot who goes out to release an atomic missile prays to return alive!
The coffin maker’s prayers are to get customers and the medical doctor sometimes wonder for not having patients. Deep in the heart of the Doctor he wants you to get sick and you bring money.
The police officers want criminals to get money for their children school fees , and the whores(malayas) are on their knees to get good paying customers!
Who exactly is working on these and other many requests because all these prayers are at some point answered in affirmative.
I think Satan should be credited for some actions.
