Abstrakt: I grew up under the brutal dictatorship of Idi Amin. After my high school seminary education, I decided to join the "liberation war" to fight Idi Amin. It was only by God's grace that I was saved from this lie of liberation through violence. The "liberation war" ended, but then the liberators soon became dictators and we needed another "liberation war" to get rid of the "liberators." This is a story that is repeated all over Africa. It is a lie. Violence does not end violence--it only creates endless cycles of violence. Nonviolence is a calling, not simply because it "works" but because it is the way of God.
