Why Uganda Supported the US-Led Coalition to Disarm Iraq The Second Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Hon. Wapakabulo, pointed out that Uganda’s decision to support the US led coalition to disarm Iraq was based on two major considerations. First, Uganda has been a victim of state sponsored terrorism of the worst type. This terrorism had emanated from some of the neighbouring countries with the active support of Sadam Hussein’s ousted government. Ever since 1986 the following terrorist groups have inflicted untold misery on our population: the Holy Spirit Movement of Lakwena; Uganda Peoples Army of Peter Otai; the Lord’s Resistance Army of Kony; Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) of Jamil Mukulu and West Nile Bank Front of Juma Oris. These groups have brutalised and killed innocent people in different parts of Northern, Western, and Eastern Uganda. Uganda has fought a lonely battle against these State sponsored terrorist groups with hardly any support from outside. Indeed, in the aftermath of the fall of Baghdad to coalition forces, evidence of links between the ADF and the former government of Iraq was discovered in intelligence reports in Baghdad as reported in the Telegraph of London in mid April, 2002. Secondly, the potential link between terrorism and weapons of mass
destruction: nuclear, chemical, or biological - poses a very serious
threat to international peace and security.
