According to a source in the ministry of defence, Uganda will deploy in Darfur early next year as per UNAMID programme.

We are reliably informed that UNAMID has requested Uganda, Burundi and Rwanda to deploy soldiers in Darfur on a peace keeping mission.

As you read this Rwanda has also started training her soldiers to be deployed in Darfur. Sources in Kampala, Bujumbura and Kigali tell our investigative desk that Burundi, Rwanda and Uganda will each send 250 soldiers. However Uganda and Rwanda will send addition 140 experts in air force each.

We have heard that Kakande is being lured to join the faith by the UMSC spokesman Hajji Nsereko Mutumba. A source says that Kakande would be given whatever he will demand if he coverts to Islam and maintains the faith.

The Muslims also want him to expose the origin of the powers born again pastors use to heal the sick, make the deaf ear, blind see, and demands to leave the oppressed.

Recently, Kakande’s son, Ken Kakande also joined islam and he immediately changed his name from Ken Kakande to Abubakar Kakande. We are yet to establish whether prophet Kakande will accept to join Islam.
