Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni on Wednesday urged rebels in the country to accept his recent amnesty offer, warning them that if more people died despite the concession “then you will see our true colours”. Addressing the nation over Ugandan radio on the 10th anniversary of Heroes’ Day, Museveni added: “I can assure you that from our side we shall honour our pledge not to do any damage to these criminals if they come back, since we have already given our word.” he said. “But if they don’t, then we shall solve this problem the way we have solved all other problems before.”
