Acholi, 

• In principle, we have always been of a single mind and soul and without grounds for mistrust –wan Acholi.
• In principle we have the ability to transform communities in our ancestral home with or without significant government support – our land, traditions, diverse skills/professions and respect for one another being the cornerstones to sustain this challenge.
• In principle, we have the ability to develop an effective and efficient community healthcare service, create volunteer support network and solicit sufficient Acholi donations to ensure we are first in providing and sustaining universal, comprehensive, and equitable heath care to our people.
• In principle, we have access to sufficient natural endowments, labour and investment resources to develop agricultural, manufacturing, tourism and to enter local/regional/international relations in order to create employment and training opportunities for every able-bodied Acholi.
• In principle, we have the ability to feed our people, educate our children, and place our own kins in jobs within our respective companies, industries, governments and agencies wherever in the world, we are.
• In principle, we have the ability to identify, declare, honor and remember our own war dead less they died in vain with no country or people to honour them but us. We have the resources to build a monument on our land, in the heart of Acholi, to remind and unite Acholi for common causes.
• In principle we can unilaterally declare a day of Rememberance for past and current upheavels through diseases, wars, cold-blooded massacres and genocide afflicting our people. This day, we will remember wherever in the world we are sujourned, travelling or working the fields, factories and offices.
• In principle, we have the ability to unilaterally decide on an annual festival, drawing on Acholi from Adilang to Anaka, Puranga to Agoro, to celebrate Acholi culture with over 20 traditional dances, unmatched organic dishes and thousands of awe-inspiring crafts and artifacts at a venue on our land.

If, in principle, Acholi has the ability to achieve the above, why haven’t we? The answer is quite simple: We are not Organized.
