As long as anger, paranoia & misinformation drive our News Rooms & political debates, always unhinged souls among us will feel justified in turning to violent remedies for imagined threats.
Our media is to blame for this tribal fight.
@EUinUG@nickopiyo@Opiaiya@ajws@CivFund_
Dear @ntvuganda@nbstv It's okay to be honest about not knowing rather than spreading falsehood. You are fueling a huge tribal fight btn Acoli & Ma’di. Who do you work for? Your lies, misinformation & conspiracy theories are not free press. They are fraud & propaganda.
