Asians attacked in mabira forest demo

mmmh.... Friday 13th?
yesterday a demonstration in Kamapala against the sugercane investment in Mabira Forest turned violent, with 3 asians killed (stoned to death and shot by security). Read here. The Mabira forest protest is right now the hottest political and economical topic in Uganda, with a lot of people trying to protect the nature reserve for beeing partly destroyed by an indian based sugar company.
i cannot say that i am afraid, but it seems that poeple are very nervous and violence can break out easiliy. and that the political opposition is trying to profit from these events, just as teh president Musoveni revield his retrirement plans.
