Kampala, Uganda – (African Boulevard News) – The Ugandan opposition has called for the repatriation of troops deployed abroad to reinforce security after the recent high school massacre. The incident, blamed on jihadists, left at least 42 people dead, including students, teachers, and security personnel. The call comes as the government investigates the attack and tries to determine who is responsible.
The opposition says the attack shows that Uganda needs to focus on securing its own borders and ensuring the safety of its citizens. “It’s time for President Museveni to bring our troops home,” said opposition leader, Kizza Besigye. “We should be focusing our efforts on our own security first and foremost.”
The government has not yet responded to the opposition’s call for troop repatriation. However, it has said that it will do everything in its power to identify and bring to justice those responsible for the attack.
The attack on the high school has sent shockwaves through the country, with many questioning how the attackers were able to penetrate the school’s security. Some have speculated that the attackers had inside help, while others have pointed to the porous border with neighboring countries as a possible point of entry.
“We need to take a long, hard look at our security measures and determine how we can better protect our schools and communities,” said Anne Mugisha, a security analyst. “This attack should serve as a wake-up call to all Ugandans about the threats we face and how we can work together to address them.”
The government has deployed additional troops to the region to reinforce security and prevent further attacks. Students at the affected school have been relocated to other schools in the area to continue their studies.
As the investigation continues, many are calling for calm and unity in the face of this tragedy. “We must stand together as Ugandans and not let fear or hatred divide us,” said Minister of Education, Janet Museveni. “We will do everything in our power to ensure that our schools are safe and that our children can continue their education without fear.”
The government is urging anyone with information about the attack to come forward and assist with the investigation. In the meantime, Ugandans are mourning the loss of those who perished in the attack and praying for the swift recovery of those who were injured. The road to recovery may be long, but Uganda’s resilience and determination to overcome this tragedy will see it through.
