Mukono Diocese reflects on Weekend of Prayer and Action
The following is a statement released by the Mukono Diocese of Uganda:
The war conflict in the northern part of our country has put the inhabitants in a very sad state. Innocent people are affected by the atrocities and many have been traumatized beyond recovery. Women, youths and children have been adversely affected by such things as abuse, insecurity deprivation of basic social and personal needs, immorality and death.
Most particularly we decry the endless situation that created an inhuman pseudo-culture of our children. The children below 12 years have never experienced the dignity of a human being and their vocabulary for love, care and peace is indeed very crooked. They have suffered such traumas that are beyond imagination in this decade. The plight of our children is a time bomb for not only the Ugandan society but also for the whole world.
Therefore we, the people of Mukono Diocese, share our solidarity with the people of northern Uganda concerning their pain. We pray for their social redemption. We call upon all national, regional and international bodies to stand against all the inhuman practices existing in the North. We call upon the Ugandan government to stand by its proclamations of making peace a first priority in Northern Uganda. In addition to security, practical assistance in social needs like health, education, food and parenting is very essential. We support Uganda-CAN in its cause for peace in northern Uganda.
