KASESE IN MEMORY TODAY
Today marks 17 years when the ADF rebels first attacked Kasese District. It was November 13 1996 when the rebels attacked from the boarder side with Congo, abducted many civilians. It was the same day when the P7 candidates of that year were sitting for their PLE exams which were entirely affected as pupils did the exams along side heavy gunshots. The rebel group carried out their bad acts and operations up to the year 2000 When a team commanded by Major Kazini officially declared Kasese ADF free. During these times, many people, families and schools were frustrated by the rebel activities. Up to date, reports still show that this rebel group still operates in Congo forests in the DRC
we continue to pray for our brothers and sisters whose families have continued to nurse the wounds attained out of this rebel attack.

Six months now after heavy rains terrorized some parts of Kasese District long the rivers of Mubuku, Nyamwamba and Nyamugasani which burst their banks leading to heavy floods which left many displaced and claimed many live of a few.

A number of measures government has put in place to recover from this disaster. Among these is resettling displace people back into stable homes and also repairing the damaged infrastructure.

 

A number of Organizations and donor agencies like Red Cross, save the children, Hima cement, Rweco and many more have come in to save the situation financially and materially. At the moment a number of bridges like Katiri Bridge on Nyamwamba River in Kilembe and Mubuku Bridge on Mubuku River are under their final stages of repairing.

 While Bulembya Bridge in Kilembe still and Kyalhumba Bridge on River Nyamugasani are still having temporary wooden bridges made by the locals.

We still hope government will do more to save the situation.
