Opposition Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) has reportedly recruited youth with a purpose of burning markets, parishes of kingdoms and other places of public interest.

The security agencies also allege that FDC has recruited youth who are undergoing a military training in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The aim of the garrison being trained in DRC is to over throw president Museveni’s government.

Security minister Muluri Mukasa says that the security network has continued to receive intelligence reports indicating that FDC has been and is still nursing plans of over throwing Kampala government by use of arms and to burn markets.

Currently the government is holding several people in connection with plans to form rebel groups that will fight to over throw NRM government.   However Judith Akello, the MP for Agago says that FDC is a political party in Uganda which doesn’t believe in violence as a means to change government.

This follows the confirmation of some oil wells in Amuru district last year.

This came after oil was discovered in Amuru district and oil companies started working on this oil field almost a year now.

The former Chairperson of the Acholi Parliamentary Group, Livingstone Akello Okello says the government should recognize and grant the interests of the Acholi in the oil that Uganda is set to start producing.

Recently the Acholi Paramount Chief (Rwot), David Onen Achana II, also asked his subjects to form groups so that they can demand oil royalties from the exploration company in the region.

Uganda is expected to start oil production in two years after commercially viable oil deposits were confirmed in the mid western parts of the country.
