gdp giving needs
I have made revenue collection a frontline institution because it is the one which can emancipate us from begging.

The rebels attacked us (NRA soldiers) at a place called Corner Kilak 20 miles South of Kitgum (Town). They came in while singing and shouting; our people (NRA) massacred those chaps.

We massacred them very badly.
