Last week Okello was back at his broadcasting chores, warning civilians to lay down their guns. "Otherwise," he bellowed in his own arresting argot, "you will see how we hang people and burn them like chickens. Others will be executed by being cut into pieces that will be spread on the streets. Still others will be thrown into the sea, while others will be tied to trees and shot by novice marksmen. Anyone who tries to be a hypocrite will...
