They Said It...

Amin can come back, but he has to face trial. But to say that he should just come back and we leave him alone, no. For Amin, we have no reconciliation — Eriya Kategaya, First Deputy Premier and Minister of Internal Affairs, ruling out amnesty for former President Idi Amin. * * *The fact that these men were taken out and put up against a tree and shot dead stinks. It is a case of dead men tell no stories —John O’Shea, the chief executive of the Irish Aid Agency (GOAL), protesting against execution of two UPDF soldiers over the murder of an Irish missionary priest, Fr. Declan O’Toole and two others in Kotido.* * *The women should know that I’m a happily married man with a family back in Europe. My only love here in Uganda is football — Micho Sredojevich, new SC Villa coach, revealing that several women have asked him to start love affairs with him.* * *Uganda has an increasingly enviable reputation for its wildlife conservation efforts, on which it has established a successful, environmentally responsible tourist industry. This reputation will, in my view, be seriously jeopardised by the proposed trade — Sadruddin Aga Khan, opposes Uganda’s export of wildlife animals.* * *They want me to become a prisoner or fugitive, or dead. But I tell them no, (I’ll be) a martyr, a martyr, a martyr— Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, defiantly declaring he was prepared to die as a martyr for the sake of his people, in face of life-threatening attacks against him by the Israeli army. * * * If in 2006 I do not spot a presidential candidate capable of addressing environmental issues substantially, I will not hesitate to contest for that seat — John Ken Lukyamuzi, Lubaga south MP, announcing he may contest for presidency in 2006.ends
