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.

The army and police are probing reports that FDC and other opposition parties are secretly recruiting people into rebel activities. This follows intelligence reports last week that led to arrest of two opposition cadres in Nansana who had been reportedly recruited into rebel activities.

Sources in CMI have told us that they have recruited some leaders of these opposition parties to be the ones giving security reports about formation of rebel groups. A source says that most of the youth being recruited into rebel activities are in FDC, JEEMA, and SDP among others.

We have also been told that the opposition elements are being financed by western powers to get the youth engages in rebellions. A source says that the security has got all the names of people who have been recruited and so they will soon be arrested. We have not identified the names of the people being followed due to security reasons.
