First of all I want to thank you all for according me this golden opportunity to address all the delegates and guests of the 75th GENERAL CONVENTION of the Episcopal Church of the USA, on an issue of great importance and urgency; a matter of life and death in Northern Uganda. I have come in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to tell you about the GENOCIDE that has been going on in Northern Uganda for the last 20 years.

You will be sad to know that terrible crimes against humanity have been committed with impunity in Northern and Northeastern Uganda by both the so-called Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) and the Uganda People’s Defense Force (UPDF). Many people have been maimed permanently for life. Many people have suffered mutilation of limbs, noses, ears, and lips at the hands of the warring factions, especially the LRA. Over 30,000 children have been abducted and taken into captivity in Southern Sudan. Children have been abused and used as child-soldiers, as sex-slaves, and as killing machines against the civil population.
