*Otinga on the Spot!*
Otinga located in Opatte Parish after “Kulu Agago” within Atanga in Pader district, across the stream, is Eden Resort popularly known to be owned by a politician, the area is a hub for Balalo, Banyarwanda, Banyankole whom many own lands in 100 of acres. The born-again church within the area seems to have embraced the group, Sunday sermons are nolonger conducted in Acoli dialect but in Kiswahili and translated to Runyankole language…it’s strange but that’s the reality on ground NOW.
What is so strange and distinct about this group is that the majority of them are fluent in Kiswahili, Runyankole, and Kinyarwanda languages.
At a place called “Roundabout” and Wilul in Gulu district, our team met with Bangarwanda women who are eloping with Acoli boys as their husbands, but the age difference is similar to that of an “aunt and son”. The women who are fluent in Kiswahili and kinyarwanda but do gamble in luganda and English are operating a mini bar deep in the villages. Men look drunk sleepy while the women are on the phone communicating, with who…? No one knows…
In Okidi, Palaro sub county, it’s a known place for Banyankole, but with military background or backing…. our team is finalizing action research on the places invaded by Banyankole, Balalo, and the mineral rich mappings in Acoli… it’s a coincidence that most areas occupied by these groups have vast minerals…
The same old method used on our grandparents before 1986 war, were they disguised as cattle keepers and the rest is history, they supplied alcohol and brown old women to keep the men busy as their Acholi women are left defense less. If DNA is to be done in Acoli today, we are certain that some countries’/ district population census figures will rise tremendously while in Acoli shall drop significantly.
