From Uganda-It was an emotional moment on Saturday after Idi Amin's kinsmen from Koboko District asked for forgiveness from the family of late Archbishop Janani Luwum over the latter's murder.
Luwum, who was the
archbishop of the Province of Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and Boga-Zaire,
was killed in 1977 by former president Idi Amin's henchmen.
During the 42nd
commemoration prayers held to mark Luwum's death in Wii Gweng Village,
Mucwini Sub-county in Kitgum District at the weekend, Christians from
Koboko Archdeaconry led by Rev Canon Stephen Gelenga said the community
still feels the impact of what happened during Amin's regime.
"As Christians from
the Kakwa Community, we said we should put aside what happened in the
past and let it die completely," he said.
According to Rev
Canon Gelenga, the Christians also met with Luwum's widow at their
family home in Wii Gweng where they held prayers together.
