2009 – The year of vigilance

We enter 2009 with caution. Our resolution being to remain vigilant. Fully conscious and aware of great successes made in 2008, we will not allow complacency to set in, among our leaders or the nation at large. After so many lessons leant in 2008, we are a people blessed with past experiences, that give us a rich insight into planning for the future. Blessed that we overcame the odds and challenges of 2008, some of them deliberately put in our way to weigh us down. In the midst of the storm we recorded tremendous victories. A hard fought international battle that saw Rose Kabuye join us home for Christmas. We led Africa’s cause in fighting the abuse of the principle of Universal Jurisdiction, for that we became part of a progressive united front of  regional, African and other institutions who have an abhorrence towards the manipulation of international systems, put in place as political weapons to victimize mostly those from poorer countries.
