I beg the people who are listening to me right now. This is a very important message and we got friends from different places
We didn’t all know each other
Though in good relations we are here together
You can see now I have a friend of a different color and I have singers,
My friends from Congo
who are now with us in Uganda.
They are also singing for peace
to be with all people.
Peace is good for our children
Peace is good for our elders
Peace is good for all of us
Because things that hurt people are many
When someone has wronged you – you shouldn’t fight. The best is to sit down and talk about it
Because what conflicts bring are bad things
Conflicts bring death
Conflicts bring poverty
They destroy the good things that would be in the future
They destroy education for our children
When there is a problem
Even the government of nowadays also knows
if there is a problem they must sit down
You people in the bush you should come back home
We the people at home, we need you to come back home because you are our children.
Thank you.
3. Dungu – Radio Bomoko, OPED intro to and story behind Kuc Aye Gum song Download File
Il y a de cela deux ans que nos amis de Voice Project étaient chez nous en République Démocratique du Congo et précisément à Dungu, à la station de la Radio Bomoko Oped.
A travers nos chansons de la musique folklorique ou la musique traditionnelle, nous avons fait des enregistrements ensemble de quelques chansons et instruments. Et nous avions demandé que nous voudrions faire une lutte de paix régionale, raison pour laquelle nous leur avons demandé si nos musiques, nos instruments enregistrés, s’il pouvaient donner à d’autres amis des pays tel que l’Ouganda et plus précisément vers Gulu, là ou les amis ont été aussi pris par la LRA, en RCA
ou au Sud Soudan.
Et qu’avec nos chansons et instruments ils peuvent aussi mettre leur message, pour que nous, tous ensemble nous puissions chercher une paix durable, régionale parce que la situation qui nous est arrivée, c’était une situation régionale, un problème régional.
Pour cela, nous devons aussi trouver des solutions régionales. Comme nous avons des musiques à Dungu, pour que nous puissions parler de la paix, nous devons aussi utiliser des chansons régionales. Raison pour laquelle nos chansons de Dungu peuvent aussi être utilisées dans d’autres pays pour que nous puissions trouver tous ensemble une solution régionale à travers les chansons. Et raison pour laquelle, nous nous sommes organisés à travers la musique folklorique, la musique traditionnelle de Dungu, et précisément de le station de la radio communautaire Bomoko OPED à travers le leader de la musique folklorique, Monsieur Justin Tingbange avec son équipe, pour que nous puissions donner à nos frères qui n’étaient pas de Dungu, ces musiques là, ces instruments là pour que nous tous nous puissions trouver une solution régionale.

Two years back our friends The Voice Project were in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and in Dungu, at Radio Bomoko Oped
Through our folk traditional music, we were able to record together with them some songs and instruments.
And we asked that we would like to fight for “regional” peace.
This is the reason why we asked them if our music, our instruments recorded could be given to other friends of other countries like Uganda, and in particular Gulu, where those friends were victim of the LRA, in the Central African Republic
or South Sudan
So that with our songs and instruments, they can also be able to put their message, so that all together we can look for a longlasting
regional peace because what’s happened to us was a regional situation, a regional problem
For that, we must also find regional solutions.
As we have music in Dungu, to talk about peace, we must also use regional songs. It is for that reason that our songs from Dungu can be used in other countries, so that we can find together a regional solution through songs. And it is why we organized ourselves through folk and traditional music from Dungu and in particular from the community radio station Bomoko OPED headed by a leader in folk music, Mr Justin Tingbange and his team, so that we can give to our brothers who were not in Dungu, this music, these instruments so that all together we can find a regional solution.
02:00 – ENGLISH TRANSLATION
People are saying that language unites people. Children of Africa, there is nothing which separates them. We are the same people and one. This is why when people recorded our songs, what separated us from those of Gulu Uganda and those in different places was language. But music is the same in these places. That’s why we ask people to sing these songs, music can unite us to be one people and to fight for peace.
So we ask from those who run away to the bush, to come back. Let our voices be one. We are using the same musical instrument for dance. This is why we asked from those of Gulu to use the song and those from Yambio, they did and we are so happy. All of us we want to join hands, to be one and look for peace in all of Africa and the whole world together. We are happy for that.
03:08 ENGLISH TRANSLATION
We’ve come here to tell you that the song we are playing, we are singing for peace throughout this song.
It is the song made here in Congo, more precisely here in Dungu, by the radio station Bomoko. We took the initiative to play this song of peace. This was the purpose.
Our friends The Voice Project came and recorded it as we don’t have enough resources for that. We asked our brothers from Yambio to sing on that song of peace. Even our brothers from Gulu, Uganda, also sang.
The song means, we are looking for peace.
It was not our wish to have LRA.
Our brothers are in the bush, so the message we can give, we can give through song. We sing to tell them to get out. We need peace. This is why our brothers of Uganda and Sudan in Yambio took that song and sang it.
To sensitize, to tell our brothers that we need peace. And tell our brothers in the bush to come out.
The message we are sending is not only concerning Dungu, but South Sudan and CAR so through the songs we can tell our brothers who are in the bush – stop the war, come back home, we shall welcome them.
Sincerely this is the effort of Bomoko radio in Democratic Republic of the Congo, doing it together with brothers who are in the Great Lakes countries which are affected by the LRA. We need peace, we need to be together so that four countries, Uganda, DRC, South Sudan, and CAR can give information through song as our ancestors were doing.
We pass the information to the brothers who are listening to us that we want peace, and no war. Come back, together we build our country. This is our song. W are the promoter of this song. Thanks

It’s me Lucky Bosmic Otim together with BSG, Otim Alpha and other singers from northern Uganda. We are working with The Voice Project who are working hard to bring peace in northern Uganda, in Congo, in Central African Republic, and South Sudan. So we appeal for peace because our children are still in the bush. So we appeal to you Mr. Kony to release his army to return back home. So that the peace we have now in northern Uganda can also be in Central Africa, Congo, and Southern Sudan. It should be just the way it is needed.

Thank you, we are the Arrow Boys, we entered the bush in 2006 because people came from another country, who are the LRA, and started killing us the Azande in Yambio county here. Since we have died in numbers, and they abducted our children, our wives, and killed the elderly. Then we started fighting against the LRA, until now we are still fighting. But if you are Azande in the bush, if you think that if you come out we shall kill you, we shall not kill you because you were abducted. You come out, don’t stay in the bush, you come out to us. All those coming out, we don’t kill them. They are still alive. As I am telling this to you, we are saving people and arresting some of them from the bush during the fighting. We bring them out and hand them over to the government authorities and then they are repatriated to their homes and places whether in Congo, or in CAR. They are returned safely and peacefully. So don’t fear, you come back to us your relatives. Don’t think if you come out we shall kill you. Those are the message we are giving you out there in the forest, where you are with the enemies who abducted you. You were abducted and if you come out we shall not kill you. There is nothing going on like that.
Thank you all out there
If you are Azande or other tribes also, you come out. Those of you in CAR, you come out. Or any tribe member who were abducted, you come out
We are welcoming you so that we can stay together to see our new country.
We don’t want to kill anybody. We are welcoming you.
If you are coming out to the community, let one person first come out, show themselves,no one will kill you. They take you to the chief.
The chief will then take you peacefully and welcome you well, then send you to your place or country where you came from.
That is the message I would like to pass to you in the forest this good evening.
Thank you out there. I am Khamis Peni

LRA is not only Acholi, as you have seen. In our area here, LRA is not only Acholi. The most people who suffered are Acholi actually. Even when I was in Uganda where this serious war took place, around Gulu and those areas, then I was wondering is this man of sound mind, killing his own people? And I was in the first meeting of the Vice President (Riek Machar), the first meeting in Garamba was with me, I was there. The first time to see who is Kony, I was there, and I even have my photo with him. With Kony and Vincent Oti, Ojambo. By that time we took photos with them and I have the copy. Then we ask him, excuse me why are you fighting? We ask him this question. He told us he is defending his people. His people are marginalized. We said, who are your people? He said the Acholi. We said, but the Acholi are the victims of your atrocities. So which are your people then because the Acholi should be your people who you should protect, but they are the victims who have suffered from your hand more than any other tribe. So who are your people? So he wouldn’t answer this question properly. Sincerely we asked him this question. We had this idea as a community here, which we said, those victims, we still call them victims whether they are soldiers or not, they are not soldiers by their will, they were forced, so why can’t we take some of the abductees, and put them on FM radio, and then they can talk to their people in their language.

16. Obo -Radio Zereda Interview on Coming Home issues and the Role of Radio Download File
Je m’appelle Steve Kaimba, assistant technique à la Radio Zereda. Bienvenue dans notre studio à Zereda.
Je m’appelle Gabrielle Mizidjo, journaliste à la Radio Zereda. Bienvenue à notre studio.
Steve: La Radio Zereda c’est d’abord l’émanation de la volonté d’un groupe de jeunes, qui a commencé dans le souci d’informer et de créer de l’ambiance dans la ville.
Cela a commencé il y a cinq ans déjà, dans une petite case avec juste du matériel de récupération, des pièces prises sur des vieux postes de radio. Et c’est avec ça qu’on a pu mettre la Radio Zereda en place. Avant c’était pas ici, mais l’esprit de la radio, c’est de créer de l’ambiance.
Vous savez nous sommes 1,300 kilomètres de la capitale et puis pour écouter la radio nationale, c’est un problème. Et donc le soir, même pendant la journée, la population n’a pas d’information.
Donc on a crée cette radio, pour pouvoir permettre aux uns et aux autres de trouver de l’information, d’avoir de la musique et d’avoir un peu de gaieté dans la cité. Voila un peu l’esprit de la radio, quoi!
The Voice Project – pourquoi est-ce que la radio est si importante ici?
Steve – Nous sommes à Obo, principalement dans le Sud-est de la République Centrafricaine. C’est une ville très éloignée de Bangui qui est la capitale, parce que de Bangui à Obo ca fait 1300 kilomètres. Et nous nous trouvons dans une situation de crise venue de la LRA depuis 2008. et la population vu tout ce qui se passe aujourd’hui, la population besoin d’être informé. Et surtout et surtout dans la ville et aux alentours, il ya des personnes qui ont été emportées en brousse par la LRA. Donc cette radio permet aujourd’hui d’essayer de lancer un message à ceux qui peuvent écouter cette radio là où il se trouve dans les camps de la LRA, lors qu’ils écoutent le message que nous lançons.
On peut appeler des frères dont nous connaissons les noms, de déposer les armes en brousse et de revenir. Mon collègue ici, il a des parents qui sont en brousse depuis plus pratiquement quatre ans déjà. Et souvent quand il anime, il lance un message. Il cite leur nom, il leur dit de déposer les armes de ces gens là. Il leur dit de rentrer à la maison et qu’on a besoin d’eux, on a besoin de vous accueillir.
Donc, cette radio est importante aujourd’hui à Obo parce que ça nous permet de lancer un message à l’endroit de ceux qui sont en brousse et d’informer la population aussi sur la situation du pays, sur ce qui se passe ailleurs. Et puis échanger, car parfois il y a des gens qui appellent et qu’on dit eh bein voilà, on est satisfait de cette radio parce que ça nous informe, et à travers cette radio, on a la possibilité de communiquer avec certaines personnes. Pour terminer, la radio est écoutée de ce côté, c’est-à-dire dans la partie ouest à 45 km et dans la partie sud à 25 km. Oui donc, ça fait que la population à la ronde nous suit, écoute le message et tout. Donc si la LRA est dans le passage à 45 km, à 25 km ou à 15 km proche d’ici, nous émettons s’ils ont la possibilité d’avoir des postes de radio en brousse, ils peuvent écouter ce que nous disons et ils se diront aussi que voilà il y a des gens qui pensent à nous, des gens qui continue à penser à nous: ils peuvent déposer les armes et rentrer à la maison.
Gabrielle: Et d’autre part aussi, ça aide la population. Par exemple, si d’autres populations vont à la chasse, ils vont avec leur postes radios. Quand ils partent avec leur poste radio, ils écoutent la Radio Zereda.
Toutes les informations qui se passent ici à la maison, ils sont aussi informés eux-mêmes. Et d’autres part, s’il y a une attaque près de la ville, ça leur permet de prendre leur position, l’attaque de la LRA bien sûr, c’est ça qui aide beaucoup plus la population à s’informer. Et puis l’éducation aussi, on éduque la population à travers cette radio.
Plus souvent, nous lançons un message aux victimes surtout les rebelles de la LRA de déposer les armes. “Déposez vos armes et rentrer à la maison”. Rentrez dans la communauté, la communauté vous attend pour vous accueillir. Il faut cesser vos crimes, cesser vos armes, déposer vos armes et rentrer à la maison. D’autres part, nous lançons aussi un appel aux victimes qui ont été kidnappés de ne pas rester avec les LRA. Il faut qu’ils rentrent a la maison.
Steve: bien, comme il a dit quelque fois nous lançons aussi des messages à l’endroit des leaders de la LRA, même à Joseph Kony. Nous disons, nous jouons une tranche musicale “Acholi” parce que nous savons que ils écoutent la musique Acholie et en ce moment dans les musiques Acholi, il y a des gens qui chantent la paix, qui chantent un retour et qui veulent que ces gens qui sont restés en brousse retournent.
Donc quelque fois on peut dire, voila nous jouons cette musique en dédicace avec tous ceux qui sont en brousse et que nous les attendons à la maison. Nous voudrions que même Joseph Kony puisse déposer les armes. Parce qu’on ne construit pas un pays en restant dans la brousse.
Nous voulons que vous tous qui avez suivis Kony, comprenez qu’il y a pas une république en brousse. La république c’est-à-dire le pays, la nation. Revenez, nous sommes vos parents, nous avons besoin de vous, nous avons grandi de la même maison, on a mangé dans les mêmes assiettes, on s’est baigné dans les mêmes marigots. Aujourd’hui quand nous allons dans ces marigots, on ne vous voit pas ça nous chagrine, ça nous fait de la peine de supporter, de voir la chambre dans laquelle vous avez habités avec nous, et quand je vois un de vos vieux habits avec moi, ça me fait couler des larmes. Alors tout ça, s’ils écoutent ça dans la radio, je pense que ça peut susciter quelque chose dans leur cœur.
Gabrielle: Nous pouvons dire maintenant et à nos frères qui sont au Congo ou Soudan: C’est de nous réunir, soyons ensemble, nous voulons la paix, il faut que nous luttons contre la rébellion, nous voulons la paix surtout, nous voulons la paix, nous ne voulons pas la rébellion, nous ne voulons pas la guerre. Il faut que nous allons dans ce sens, il faut que nous nous réunissions ensemble pour lutter contre ce mal à travers la paix.
Steve: Aussi je lance un message à tout nos frères qui sont dans les radios communautaires, de ne pas se lasser dans le travail qu’ils sont en train de faire. Ils font déjà, je pense, comme nous, ils font un travail assez intéressant de demander de lancer des messages à ceux qui sont en brousse ; pourquoi pas à d’autres mouvements rebels – il n’y a pas que la LRA comme problème en Afrique, surtout pas dans le sud-est de l’Afrique, il y a d’autres personnes, il y a des bandits, tout ca là, c’est notre travail. Et en tant journaliste de ces zones, même si on ne peut pas se réunir, on ne peut pas se trouver, mais qu’on se retrouve dans nos idées que nous focalisions notre esprit sur la culture de la paix et développement et ne pas cesser d’appeler nos frères qui sont restés en brousse. Qu’on ne passe pas seulement du temps à jouer de la musique où les gens peuvent danser. Nous qui dansons ici dans la ville, on ne sait pas ce qui arrive aux autres dans la brousse. Bien sûr, on en tue. Il y a d’autres qui sont malades ils ne peuvent pas avoir les soins. Il y a d’autres qui ne trouvent pas à manger à leur faim ce qu’on leur prépare, ce n’est pas ce qu’ils avaient l’habitude de manger quand ils étaient en ville. Donc c’est des genres de messages comme ca qu’il faudrait que d’autres stations de radios comme à Dungu, à nzara, un peu partout, en Ouganda, à Yambio, là où il y a les stations FM, il faudrait que nous n’arrêtions pas de dire à nos frères qui sont restes en brousse “vous menez une vie qui n’est pas vraiment une vie. Il faut revenir”. Ne pas se lasser de leur dire que “vous êtes en train de perdre votre mission, la mission de votre génération”. On vous a entraîné dans une guerre, dans une lutte qui ne vous appartient pas. Vous ne partagez pas la même philosophie de ceux qui vous ont amené en brousse, la philosophie du développement c’est dans la communauté ici. C’est ce que nos autres collègues qui sont, qui travaillent dans les radios communautaires doivent ventiler comme message tout le temps, tout le temps et je leur dit “courage, courage, courage. Beaucoup to courage. Luttons pour la paix. Appelons nos frères, revenir à la maison. Ok.
My name is Steve Kaimba, technical assistant at Radio Zereda. Welcome to our studio at Zereda.
My name is Gabrielle Mizidjo, I am journalist at the Radio Zereda. Welcome to our studio.
Steve: Radio Zereda is first of all an emanation of the will of a group of youth which started with the concern of creating ambiance in the town.
It started five years ago in a little hut with recycled material, material taken from old radios.
It is with that that we started Radio Zereda.
Before it was not here, but the spirit of the radio, is to create atmosphere.
You know, we are 1,300 km from the capital city of Bangui and to listen to the national radio is a problem. Therefore in the evening and even during the day, the population doesn’t get information.
We created this radio, to enable people to find information and get informed, to listen music and to bring a little spirit of cheerfulness to the city. That’s the spirit behind having this radio staiton!
The Voice Project – Why is the radio so important?
Steve: We are at Obo mainly in the south-est of Central African Republic. It is a town far away from Bangui which is the capital city situated 1,300 km away. On top of that, we are in a crisis situation caused by LRA since 2008. And the population in seeing all that is happening today; the population needs to be informed.
And especialy in the town and surroundings. There were people taken in the bush by the LRA. So this radio is is a way to spread a message to those who can listen to this radio wherever they are in the LRA camp, when they listen to the message that we spread.
We can call brothers that we know by their names to depose their wepons in the bush and to come back home. My colleague here has parents who have been in the bush for practically 4 years. And always when he is transmitting on the radio waves, he always sends a message. He tells them, he calls them by their name, he tells them to depose those people’s weopons, that its not their problem, he tells them to come back home, that they need them, they want to welcome them.
So this radio is important today in Obo because it allows us to spread messages to those who are still in the bush and to inform the population also about the situation of the country, and what is taking place elsewhere. And also to exchange. Sometimes there are people and they say, we are satisfied with this radio because it informs us. Through this radio, we have the possibility of communicating with others. The radio is able to be heard on the west side it covers 45 km and in the south 25 km. You see therefore it means that the population around follow us and listens to the messages, and everything else. So if the LRA is within 45 km, 25 km, or 15 km from here where we emit the message, if they have the possiblity of having a radio in the bush, they can listen to what we say. And they can also say to themselves that there are people who think about us, people who continue to think about us. These people can give up their weapons and come back home.
Gabrielle – And on the other hand, it helps the population. For example other people when they go hunting, they go with their radio. When they go with it, they listen to Radio Zereda.
All the information and news happening here at home, they do immediately get informed. The other side of it is if there is an attack near the town, the LRA attack of course, it helps the population to get informed. On top of that education. We educate the population through radio.
Very often, we send a message to the victims especially the rebels of LRA to put down their weapons. Put down your weapons and come back home, come back to the community, the community is waiting for you to welcome you. Stop your crimes, stop your weapons, put down your weapons and come back home. On the other hand, we also send messages to the victims kidnapped by the LRA, not to stay with LRA. Let them come back home.
Steve: As he has said it sometimes we also direct messages at the leaders of LRA, even Joseph Kony. We say, we play music in Acholi because we know that they do listen to Acholi music and in this, in Acholi music, there are people who sing peace, who sing about returning back home and who want those people still remaining in the bush to return.
So sometimes, we can say, there you are, we are playing this music and dedicating it to all those who are in the bush that we are waiting for them to come back home. We would even like Joseph Kony to put down the weapons because one can’t build a country while staying in the bush. We would like that all of you who had followed Kony should understand that there is no republic in the bush. The republic means the country, the nation. “Come back home, we are your parents, we need you, we grow up together in the same home. We ate with the same plate, we swam in the same creek. Today when we go there in the creek we don’t see you, it saddens us, it hurts us to bear, to see the room in which you were living with us, and when I see one of your old clothes, it makes me cry.” When they listen to it on the radio, I think that it can provoke something in their heart.
Gabrielle – Now we can say that to all our brothers in Congo and in Sudan: it’s time to unite, lets be together, we want peace, we need to fight against rebellion, we need peace especially, we need peace, we don’t want rebellion, we don’t want war.
We need to go this direction, we need to get together to fight against this evil through peace”.
Steve – Also we send a message to all our brothers working with community radio not to grow tired of the work that they are doing. They are already doing quite interesting work to spread messages to those who are in the bush; why not talk also to other rebel movements, because there is not only LRA as problem in Africa, especially in the south east of Africa, there are other people, there are bandits, and all those, it is our work as journalists in those areas, even if we cannot come together or meet together, but we can be united in ideas. Let’s focus our spirit on peace culture, the development culture and not get tired of calling our brothers who are still in the bush.
We should not only spend time playing music on the radio where people can dance. We who are dancing here in the city, don’t know what is happening to our people who are in the bush. Of course, they are killed. Others are sick, others have nothing to eat. What they give is not what they are used to when they were in town.
Therefore, it is those kinds of messages that other radio stations in Dungu, in Nzara, in Yambio, in Uganda, any FM station, we should not stop sending to our brothers who are in the bush “you are leading a life which is not really a life, you have to come back.” Don’t stop telling them “you are wasting your mission, the mission of your generation.
They pulled you into a war which doesn’t belong to you. You don’t share the same philosophy with those who took you in the bush.” The philosophy of development is in the community, now it is what our other colleagues who are and work in the community radios should spread as a message all the time, all the time, all the time. And I tell them, courage, courage, courage, a lot of courage, let’s fight for peace, lets call our brothers to come back home.
Ok.

Thanks I am Phillip Mbugo in charge of Yambio FM here in Yambio Western Equatoria.
I work here in Yambio at Yambio FM. I wish to inform you that radio station is a very important asset.
When war is in the air, so many people who tune to their radio can hear what you communicate from the studio.
The LRA came to Yambio and abducted so many people and they tortured people brutally.
It’s interesting to work for a radio station and talk about peace. Talk in peace about peace because the world needs peace, South Sudan needs peace, Congo needs peace, Central African Republic needs peace and everyone needs peace.
It’s wonderful to live in a peaceful co-existance and if there are some people who do not embrace peace listening to this message. Please endeavour to leave conflict and embrace peace
Through peace we shall be able to educate and develop our children, develop our country. I extend my gratitude to everyone listening to this message.

22. Dungu -Jaques Dusa interview, Radio Bomoko, OPED on Regional Cooperation and FM Investment Download File
C’est un problème régional. Un problème de la guerre de la LRA qui a frappé ces pays là. Vous constatez que dans chaque pays nous subissons presque les mêmes phénomènes, les phénomènes des arrestations, des tueries, les phonèmes de kidnapper, de détruire les biens.
Et aussi nous voyons qu’il y a l’arrêt entre les familles. C’est à dire on essaie de séparer les enfants de leurs parents ou la femme de son mari. Vous voyez que ça donne des chocs dans des communautés, dans des familles.
Alors, aujourd’hui, nous en tant que les amis des médias, nous qui travaillons pour la sensibilisation de la communauté, nous qui devons faire un effort pour le retour de la paix, pour le retour du pardon, nous. Qu’est-ce que nous devons faire?
Tout ce que nous devons faire, c’est de chercher une solution régionale. Chercher des voies de pardon, chercher des voies des amitiés mutuelles. C’est à dire nous devons trouver une solution où les enfants qui sont en brousse, comment ils peuvent regagner leur famille, Comment on peut arriver à les accepter dans des familles ?
Et nous, en tant que Radio Communautaire, nous savons qu’en Afrique Centrale, et plus précisément dans les régions qui sont affectées, les moyens les plus facils de communiquer de faire passer le message, ce ne sont pas à travers les conférences, ce ne sont pas à travers d’autres voies de communication, ce n’est qu’à travers les radios communautaires.
A travers des radios communautaires nous avons des messages. Nous pouvons mettre des messages à la disposition de la communauté pour que la guerre puisse prendre fin. Et que là où les leaders ou les commanditaires des actions de la LRA sont, puissent nous écouter.
A peine pris la conscience de cesser avec la guerre, et que la famille qui n’était pas avec nous commence à rentrer dans nos communautés, nous devons les accepter. Que nous puissions cesser la discrimination, car aussi les amis qui sont allés en brousse, qu’on les a pris par force pour aller en brousse, ils ont besoin de notre affection. Cette affection là ne peut que commencer par nous qui sommes encore sur terrain ici.
Et que c’est à travers la radio que nous devons envoyer des messages de paix, des messages de réconciliation, des messages d’acceptation.
Pour cela on peut aussi à travers la radio on peut aussi évoquer ce que nous appelons le message par chanson. Nous le savons, il y a plusieurs séries de musique. Mais la radio communautaire BOMOKO, de son côté prend l’option de faire la musique folklorique, la musique traditionnelle. Ces messages que nous passons à travers ces chansons de musique folklorique, ce sont des messages de paix, de réconciliation, de retour de développement.
Et que monsieur JUSTIN TINGBANGBE avec son équipe essaie chaque semaine de faire passer les messages de paix, des messages de retour, des messages de l’acceptation et de non discrimination. C’est à dire, nous devons accepter nos frères, nous devons faire en sorte que les enfants qui sont allés en brousse, puissent trouver des familles d’accueil, puissent trouver des familles d’acceptation. Et à peine arriver dans notre société, nous devons leur donner du travail, nous devons leur donner une formation pour qu’ils puissent être utiles dans la société.
Tel que vous le savez, à Dungu il y a des centres. A Dungu il y a des formations professionnelles en maçonnerie, en coupe et couture, en menuiserie ou en charpenterie ou en alphabétisation, en technique agricole. Ce sont des moyens qui sont là pour aider ces enfants dépaysés, ces enfants qui ont perdu le sens de vivre, qu’ils puissent avoir maintenant l’espoir de vivre.
Car, si nous avons le choc de perdre un parent, le choc de perdre une maman ou un membre de famille, ainsi ce la.
Alors ce que nous devons faire c’est de cherchez comment réparer. Nous pouvons réparer seulement en faisant de nos frères qui ont été pris par la force, ces gens la puissent devenir très importants dans la société en leur donnant une formation professionnelle. Sans cette formation il serait pour nous aussi très difficile de développer les milieus qui ont été déjà détruits par la guerre.
Alors en formant plusieurs mâcons on aura à construire aussi le plus tôt les villages détruits.
En formant des menuisiers on aura aussi à remplacer nos chaises, en formant des tailleus, on aura à faire des habits. Et que les gens qui ont perdu les habits en étant dans la brousse puissent récupérer plus facilement la vie.
Et pour cela nous demandons à la communauté internationale, à tous ceux qui veulent s’associer aux radios communautaires de se mettre ensemble, de combattre pas par la guerre mais par des messages de paix. Que chacun à son niveau puisse trouver des moyens de ramener la paix dans la région de l’Afrique Centrale. Nous voulons la paix, nous demandons la paix.
Sans la paix, il serait pour nous tràs difficile de développer l’Afrique Centrale. Sans la paix il serait pour nous très difficile de parler d’une histoire de l’Afrique Centrale si seulement c’est une histoire de mémoire de la guerre.
Quel jour, ils pourront dire que l’Afrique Centrale commence à parler du développement ?
Quel jour, ils vont parler de modernisation de l’Afrique Centrale s’il y a encore la guerre ?
Nous espérons que les amis des autres radios communautaires qui vont nous écouter dans le monde entier pourront épauler les radios communautaires qui sont dans les régions affectées pour que l’enregistrement de message puisse atteindre les leaders de la rébellion, précisément Joseph Kony, puisse atteindre ceux qui sont encore en ôtage, puisse trouver des solutions de venir et de sortir de cette guerre là, nous espérons que l’an 2013 serait la fin de la guerre de la LRA dans l’Afrique Centrale. Ce serait aussi le début du développement de l’Afrique Centrale.
Ce serait aussi l’année des pardons pour les gens qui ont été affectés par les phénomènes de guerre. Ce serait aussi l’année de la scolarisation des enfants qui ont été kidnappés ou qui ont perdu le sens de vivre.
Ce serait aussi l’année ou nous allons écrire d’une manière positive l’histoire de l’Afrique Centrale. Et nous disons que ceux qui sont encore en RCA ou Sud Soudan, en Ouganda ou aussi du nord est de République du Congo; mettons nous ensemble. Mettons nous ensemble pour chercher la paix, pour chercher le développement et nous disons la radio communautaire BOMOKO OPED. Bomoko veut dire unité, raison pour laquelle, nous la radio communautaire Bomoko comme nous sommes une radio unité, nous travaillons ensemble avec les autres amis pour chercher la paix, pour finir avec la guerre et faire le développement de notre Afrique.
Comme nous le savons il y a dans les régions affectées par le phénomène LRA, nous avons un taux de scolarisation de plus ou moins 53%. C’est pour dire quoi, ceux qui ne sont pas instruits sont tellement nombreux et qu’il est plus facile à un leader de la guerre de les exploiter.
Et que la seule façon de passer le message, c’est de prendre le texte d’oralité. Qu’est-ce que nous appelons texte d’oralité?
Nous savons les radios utilisent plus les textes d’oralité pour passer leur message. Il est plus facile pour celui qu’est en brousse d’acheter une paire de piles, de mettre dans sa petite radio et de suivre l’information. L’information d’abord pour savoir si il n’y a pas des radios ou des messages qui passent pour venir les chercher pour faire la guerre, de venir les chercher pour laisser la guerre.
Et nous à travers notre méthodologie nous avions dit les livres peuvent être pris et brûlés mais la voix dans les ondes, quelqu’un a travers sa radio il peut l’écouter qu’une seule fois et suivre les messages de paix, les messages de la réconciliation, les messages de la cessation de la guerre.
Alors nous avions dit que aujourd’hui plusieurs personnes ou beaucoup de gens acceptent d’avoir des radios que de faire des journaux.
Alors nous avons vu que cette méthodologie de faire passer le message a travers les radios FM, des radios communautaires serait la possibilité de finir avec la guerre, serait un mécanisme de fin de guerre.
Alors nous sommes sûrs et convaincus que, si aujourd’hui, on peut arriver à financer ou arriver à prendre en charge les radios communautaires dans la region affectée, donc ils sont des radios communautaires FM dans des regions affectées par la guerre, on peut arriver à renforcer leur capacité de diffusion de message de paix. Je suis sûr et convaincu que nous allons finir avec la guerre.
Je suis sûr, au lieu d’investir à acheter des armes, investissons dans la formation, dans les équipements de la radio FM, dans les prise en charge de la radio FM pour passer les messages.
Si on peut avoir des stations dans la République Démocratique du Congo, en RCA, au Sud Soudan, en Ouganda qu’on puisse couvrir cette région affectée par la guerre de la LRA, je suit sûr et convaincu que l’an 2013 serait l’année de fin de guerre. Parce que Joseph Kony, là où il est, il suit les informations. Ca je suis s6ur et convaincu parce que ça constitue aussi pour lui une stratégie pour faire la guerre. Moi, je pense que si nous pouvons aussi le poursuivre à travers la communication radio FM, il pourra nous écouter, il pourra aussi changer d’avis, il pourra changer sa manière de faire.
Et ceux que les entourent, quand ils vont voir que si aujourd’hui ils peuvent laisser la guerre à la communauté, nous pouvons les accepter, nous pouvons les accueillir, ils finiront la guerre.
Merci beaucoup!
This is a regional problem. A problem of LRA war which hit those countries. As you know, in each country we suffer a simliar phenomenon, of arrests, killing, kidnapping, destroying properties.
And we can also see that there is separation between families.
It means that they try to separate children from their parents or a woman from her husband. You see this creates chaos in communities,
in families.
Then today as friends of medias. We who are working for campaign to raise public awareness of the communities, we must make an effort for peace to come back, and for foregiveness.
What should we do?
All we should do is look for a regional solution to find the way of forgiveness, to find a way of friendships, which means that we have to find a solution as to how those children who are in the bush can come back to their families.
How can we come to accept them in families?
And we, as community radio, we know that in Central Africa, particularly in the regions affected by war, the easy way of communicating, spreading messages to people is not through conferences, but through community radio stations.
Through these stations, we have messages. We can spread messages to the communities so that the war can end and to where the leaders of the war or the commanders of LRA actions can hear and listen to those messages
As soon as they become aware of the end of the war, and that families who were not with us start coming back home in our communities, we must accept them.
We should stop discrimination. Because those friends of ours who went to the bush were taken by force, they need our affection.That affection can only begin with us who are here on field.
And that it is through radio that we can send messages of peace, messages of reconciliation, message of acceptance.
Therefore, we can also through radio do what we call “messages by song” as we know there is many kinds of music. But community Radio BOMOKO takes the option of spreading messages through folk and traditional music.
Those messages that we spread through, folksongs and traditional music, are peace messages, reconciliation messages, and development messages.
And Mr. Justin TINGMANGBE with his team try every week to communicate the messages of peace, messages of returning back home, messages of acceptance and messages of non- discrimination.
It simply means that we must accept our brothers we have to do all possible to make sure that those children who are in the bush come back home, find families to welcome them and families who can accept them.
As soon as they come back home, we have to give them job. We have to train them so that they can be useful for the community.
As you know, in Dungu there are centers, professional training centers. We have professional training in construction, in carpentry, in tailoring, in agriculture techniques, in literacy.
Those are the means put in place to help those children who lost the sense of life, so that they can have hope to live.
Because if we know the shock of losing a parent, the trauma of losing a mother or a family member is always so, what we need to do is repair this. The only way to repair this situation is to make our brothers captured to become important in the community by giving them the different training mentioned above, professional training.
Without this trainig, it will be also hard for us to develop the area which was already destroyed by the war.
By training many builders we can easily/quickly build the destroyed villages.
By training carpenters, we will have to replace our chairs. By training tailors, we will have to make clothes and those who lost their clothes during the time they were in the bush, can easily get back to life.
Therefore we are asking the international community, all those who would like to come together and to associate themselves to the community radios to come together, to fight not by war but by peace messages.
May everyone try his best to bring back peace in the Central African region. We want peace, we are asking for peace. Without peace, it will be hard to make development in Central Africa.
Without peace, it will be hard for us to talk about history of Central Africa if it is not only this one of the memory of war.
When could they say that Central Africa is speaking about development? When will theyl speak about modernisation of Central Africa when there is still war?
We hope that our friends from other community radios around the world who will listen to this message will help those community radios found in the affected regions.
The aim is that this recording should reach the rebel leaders, particularly Joseph Kony, and those who are still in captivity can find solutions, to come and get out from the war. We hope that the year 2013 will be the end of the LRA war in Central Africa. It will be the beginning of development in Central Africa.
It will also be the year of forgiveness for people who were affected by the phenomenon of war. It will also be the year of schooling the children who were kidnapped or those who lost the sense of living.
It will also be the year where we will write a positive story of Central Africa. And we say, those who are in CAR, in South Sudan, in Uganda and also from north east, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, let’s come together. Let’s come together and look for peace, to support development. And for Radio BOMOKO OPED, we say that first of all Bomoko means unity so we work with other radios to look for peace, to end the war and develop our Africa.
As we know very well, in the regions affected by the LRA phenomenon, we have less than 53% of people who went to school. This is to say that people who did not go to school are more than the rest of the population. And it is easy for a leader of war to use illiterate people because they are easy to manipulate.
And the only way to communicate to them is orally. What do we call oral text?
We know that the radios use oral messages to spread communications. It is easy for someone who is in the bush to buy a pair of batteries, to put in a little radio and follow news. The key information is to know if there is radio or messages spreading through the radio, which announced that they come to look for them to go to war, or to come to look for them to surrender the war.
And for us through our methodology, we said that the books can be burnt but the voice on the waves, someone through the radio if he can only listen once, can follow the peace message, the message of reconciliation, the message of ceasing the war.
Then we said that today more people agree to have a radio than to produce newspapers. Then we saw that the methodology of spreading mesasges through radio FM, community radios could be the possibility to end the war. It could be a mechanism of ending the war. Then, we are sure and convinced, we will end this war.
I am sure instead of investing in buying weapons, let’s invest in training, in the equipment of radio FM, in taking in charge of these FM radios to spread the message.
If we can have stations in DRC, in RCA, in South Sudan, in Uganda, to cover this region affected by LRA war, I am sure and convinced that the year 2013 would be the year of end of the war. Because Joseph Kony wherever he is, he is following these messages. I am sure and convinced I think it is also a strategy for him to end war.
On my side, I think that we can also pursue him through the communication in the FM radio, he could listen to us, he could change his opinion, he could change the way he is behaving. And those who are surrounding them, they will see that if today they can leave war, come back in the communities, we can accept them, we can welcome them, then they will end the war.
Thanks a lot!

Yeah people this is Lucky David, I’m a musician from northern Uganda, I’m appealing to my people who are there that peace is all we want, and this song is talking about peace. Peace, when we have peace, we can dance, we can enjoy everything. But if you don’t have peace in your country, that means it’s the end of your world, because you will not put your children in school, you will not do anything possible to your family. All you will do is hiding, hiding. So this song is talking about foregiveness. You have to forgive your friend. Whatever he or she did wrong to you, you have to find in your heart to forgive. All we want is peace. All we want is happiness. All we want is when I wake up in the morning seeing you smiling. Seeing you eating the foods which you have collected from the garden. Not all that begging for help from NGOs because we have war. You know with war you cannot go out and dig. You cannot go out and look for your own things. Because when you do, they will go and kill you. The rebel will kill you. So I am appealing to my brothers in the jungle, please let us forgive one another. Whoever did to you wrong, please find in your heart, think so deeply to forgive your friend. Because we know with forgiveness we can restore back peace. We can tie peace close to our home.
Having conflict between us can destroy our home for nothing
Being without foregiveness can also destroy our home for nothing
Forget about the conflict my people and do not despair we are all one people
Maybe this war has made you disabled and it’s giving you a hard life
Maybe you are an orphan because of war
I know that you are not happy because you have seen oppression which has killed your mother, burned your house

This home’s been terrorized
Has finished the Acholi children (repeats)
This world has problems
I can’t see the face of my father anymore
Oh my home!
I can’t see the face of my uncles anymore (repeats)

Lili lili I shout out loud
This home has problems, my situation is hopeless,
the Acholi people (repeats)
What do I do now, death has become so painful
What can I say, it’s really bad indeed.
My uncle is no longer here, I cannot see him
My mother is longer here, I cannot see her face,
The children are perishing in the bush

Bosmic: You know, to me, freedom is actually a state where you are free to access what you want without any disturbance. Without any interference. Living in peace and harmony. You can understand…here in northern Uganda at that time, we could not go to school. Even if you go to school, you feared to be abducted at night. Not only that, our parents didn’t have the money to pay fees. Why? They didn’t have jobs. Something to do…the war disorganized people here to the extent that..you know…you cannot work in a situation of war, you cannot. People are running, you are thinking about your family. How am I going to leave them, if I go looking for food? If I go thinking for this, for money? How am I going to leave my family. So it was very difficult for them. Our music brought back hope to our people. To my fellow singers, the musicians around the world: peace is something for everybody. We sing for peace and we should not get tired, singing for peace. Those who think they already ok, sometimes they don’t want to listen to peace music. We have had that long time, but it should not debar us from singing, it should not prevent you from singing for peace let’s continue. It’s a struggle. This is something we are doing not for money, we are doing it for the people, for the community, for the future. Sing for peace my fellow singers. Use all the means you have, and bring more songs for peace. We are not supposed to take sides as singers, we are only to send message for peace, we are not to take sides, this is what I can tell them, because you are a singer, you are a leader, a leader has got no side, you lead the community, you lead the people in one language, in one voice, the language of peace, this is what we have to speak. Singers of Congo, sing for peace, Sudan sing peace, Uganda sing peace, Central Africa sing peace, our people need peace. So don’t get tired.

Thanks to all the people in the bush who are the Azande people. We the Arrow Boys are very strong here. Anybody who was abducted, went to the bush and became a soldier, you come out and we shall welcome you. Many of us have died, we know that this war which came and put you our brothers, sisters our children into the bush, is not because we wanted you to be a soldier, you were abducted. You try your best in all good ways to come out. When you come out we shall not do anything bad to you, only water will come out of your body. Because you know they have killed many Azande in Congo, CAR and here in South Sudan. That is why we are begging you, if you hear our voice, please try to come out immediately in any area. You will be taken back to the place where you were abducted from, that is the message we want to give you. You try to come out Don’t stay in the forest to die of sicknesses, or drink dirty water. You come out to us so that we can develop our country, South Sudan. Even the other tribes, tell them the message we are telling you. If You try to come out we are peaceful with you and nothing will happen to you at all. We the Arrow Boys are in the borders of our areas. If any of them (LRA) reaches us, we shall not kill him, we first ask him if you (LRA) doesn’t raise the gun towards us, we shall not raise the gun against you. Because the person who comes in peace comes out and surrenders, takes his gun and hands it over, is a good person. We shall welcome you and take you home. Even any other tribe like the Acholi, we also want them to come out because we need peace. We don’t want killing, many of us have already died. Listen to the message we your true relatives are telling you. We are telling you again, you come back and join us. All the places where you were abducted from or chased away from, starting from Yambio, Gangara, and Na Biopai, have been secured by us. People have come back to their homes and there is no more death unless from sicknesses. These people have moved away, you have moved away very far. You try to come out, try to escape and come so that we develop our new country together. This is the message we are giving you this evening. I am Khamis Peni.

So we are so happy because we have spent a number of years in the bush but now there is change. My name is Artur, but most common name was Zai Zai, during those days that we were playing foot ball here at home before LRA. That is why I am taking this oportunity to talk to you dear brothers in the bush that please come back home.
The LRA are confusing you. We have UPDF, FACA, America, and your own people are looking for you to come back home. If you happen to appear to somebody in the garden, he/she will welcome you warmly and give you something to eat and you will be accompanied to your home. Don’t remain in the bush and die there that is not God’s plan for your life. We are begging you dear brothers and sister that please if you are in Congo, Dolima, or in South Sudan to come back home so that we celebrate with you at home. For how long are you going to remain in the bush? It is not good. Come home.
Thanks my name is Zai Zai Artur
Thanks my name is Mbiko Mbori Metre dance in Obo. I am begging dear brothers to come back home and escape from hunger in the bush.
I am begging you in the name of almighty God that as soon as you’re coming back from bush we shall only welcome you and give food to eat and settle you. Don’t remain with enemies in the bush who are coming from another country. We in Obo are looking for you.
They have told us to welcome you if you are coming back and give you something to eat. We are also praying to God that let him bring you back home. Why are you still wanting to remain in the bush? I am praying to God to bring you back home. Thanks my name is Mboro Mbor Metre in Obo
I am still trying to talk to you my name is PAIBE MBORI ANDREA, president of Zinbe in Nguri.
We are looking for you, LRA are trying to tell you some lies in order for you to remain with them. Either they are giving you gun, they are [inaudible word]

Hi this is Lucky David, a musician from Uganda, This song is talking about war, the effect of war, the abducted children. You know when you are in the bush, your mother here at home is suffering, no one is caring for your mother. And you know, a lot of things will be happening at home, from there you never knew you would not come back, you will die from there, and so you will leave the [arents back at home here thinking about you.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
For those who are in the bush. I want you to know this war is what destroys home and properties and I am an artist who sings that peace should come back. I don’t have my gun, I don’t have my power to go and bring you back home by force but it’s you who should think that home is home. So I am going to sing for you this song, use the message to change your mind and come back home because if you look at our level of education, it is not that of other countries. We can improved in our education when you come home. So you listen to this song carefully.
“PEACE RETURN” SONG STARTS
We have peace in Uganda today. People are smiling. You man, respect women because they are the ones taking the responsibilities of your home. We have a lot of orphans, who will keep them if not you? Even if people are at home, there is still fighting and people are killing each other because of land. You love one another so we have peace forever. Take your children to school because education is a key to life
I also know that, we Acholi people before we went to the bush some of us were educated.
Come back home and Thank you very much
31. Yambio -Interview with Philip Mbugo William on the Role of Radio, Director of Radio Yambio Download File
Interviewer: What do you think is the role of radio, what is your experience with all this, how do you feel that radio is important, and how is it working here in South Sudan?
Philip Mbugo William: Radio has been effective where the issue of Lord’s Resistance Army is concerned. When they began attacking people and the community around, so of course they came before radio could be installed. It is now almost three years after the installation. Radio has become a most important instrument to communicate to the people because I witnessed so many testimonies from the community themselves, and former abductees who are coming from the bush. So radio has been useful to communicate to the community. When there are attacks of course messages have to be passed to the community that they should avoid certain areas.
Interviewer: So you’re using radio as a warning system to the communities to let them know where is dangerous and where is safe?
Philip Mbugo William: Yeah, where it is safe and where it is dangerous, do not move in such places. So radio has been useful in this area. And it’s helped the community after long time they begin to find that just because of the radio, otherwise they could continue being attacked and killed or abducted. Because of the radio, message from the radio has helped them to move to a safe area in the town. So radio has been useful in this area. Very important in our radio in our program is music and the program itself goes together. Because, like, churches around, they compose a lot of songs to us, it is talking about we in this part of the world has been peaceful people, we don’t need war, and we don’t need trouble whereby there is no rest. So music is very important. Music is very important in radio program. We have peacebuilding program, that one involves everbody, lifestyles, and somehow people and families can stay in peace. So it is backing this program. Another one is Future Generation. This one deals with children and also how to protect children. So its backing “come home” program and also if they listen of course in the bush how children are supposed to be treated I think the LRA can understand that children have a special consideration that needs to be taken care of. Even we were using some of them, those children they are rescued most of the time during the cross fire of attacks between home guards and UPDF and when there is cross fire children are rescued. So some time we used to bring them on the radio, some times they speak even on that children program, they are happy, they talk.
Interviewer: And it helps encourage people to bring people out?
Philip Mbugo William: yeah.
Interviewer: Why do you do community radio? How did this become your calling? How did you get involved?
Philip Mbugo William: I like working with community. After my school of course, I was one of the first to study to become a lawyer then I was like no, so dealing with community, I like it. I got a chance to come here and become a journalist. through the radio of course I am talking to the community and they will have issues to discuss, civic education.I like it.
Interviewer: Why is that satisfying, accessing the community? What is it about that?
Philip Mbugo William: It’s all about, as a journalist, through the media, through the radio, you pass a lot of messages to so many people. Because information is very important to the life of human beings.

CHORUS
Peace is an essential gift from God that everybody needs whether you are rich or poor
Peace is an essential gift from God that everybody needs whether you are a foreigner or an Acholi
Peace is an essential gift from God that everybody needs whether you are a soldier or civilian
VERSES
From your side what do you say peace is?
From our side we say peace is total happiness and freedom to do anything you like, but not that which makes other people suffer.
The ill feeling that we have amongst ourselves does not bring peace we should put it aside
The quarrels that we have among us does not bring peace we should put it aside
The bad acts of killing one another that we have amongst ourselves does not bring peace we should put it aside

I am called Mizediyo Gabriel, I broadcast news on Radio Zereda here in Obo, Central African Republic.
The message we would like to convey to you at this time is that brethren who have been kidnapped by the LRA. You do not have a place in the bush but with us in the town.
We your relatives and the entire communities demand you to come back home and join us. We need you amidst us lets be united like before.
In the bush, you don’t eat nice food either, you have various illness with no medical treatment and besides you sleep just in the bush in open air. You don’t have houses nor beds to sleep on. So we await to embrace you.
To those in leadership of LRA, whether Joseph Konyi, Odiambo or Ogwen – whoever you are, please release all our relatives that are in your custody, free them to return to us so that we can be able to develop and rebuild ourselves
This development by no means can take place in the bush but in the cities and towns.
This is the message I can convey to hostages under Konyi in the jungle. Should you be Azande, Congolese, South Sudanese or native of Central African Republic.
We need all of you and in one way or the other we miss each one of you together united, lets join hands to rouse up and fight for peace, to restore peace amongst our people and in between our nations. Those of us working for local radio stations, in all the neighboring countries mentioned before, it’s a mandate for us to talk in our media about peace and the restoration of peace and security among our nations. Let our children under the custody of Kony return back home. Thanks

BSG Labongo, and I’m singing with a group called Bilawa Hip Hop Move, it’s a hip hop group, I would like them to come and introduce themselves. [group memeber introductions]
This song is about peace, it’s a peace song about welcome back home.
0:50 ENGLISH TRANSLATION
Hey hey hey hey
Come back home my brothers/the children of my mother
Come back in order to build peace back
Peace peace is all we need just peace
Everyday I keep thinking about the life we lived earlier. Especially the two of us. We used to live like ants in an ant hill without wings. Now we are mosquitos without homes. Life has become difficult like I am in a trap, trapped. I cry but there is no one to help me out. If you were there. Wouldn’t you have helped me out?

We would like to tell you that we were in the bush also like you. We spent many days there. But now God help us, we are at home. We are living in a center named ELIKEYA. It means that we are safe, we spend the night, we sleep on a mattress, we eat food, everything is fine here, we have clothes, shoes, they give you everything. If you have pity (a heart of pity), we are asking you in the name of Jesus, to come out from the bush, come and join us here. You will meet other friends you were with in the bush, all of them are here. Thanks.

Try to come out of the bush
We pray to God for you
We the first to come back from the bush have a good life. We pray to God for you, come here now
We pray to God for those who are still in the bush

We give offer to God for you
Don’t be guided by those men, they are not good

For you we pray to God

Dear, we are driving in cars, we are good. Dear, don’t worry, make effort to come back home and escape those rebels. If you come back you will be taken care of. Here they buy clothes for us and do all what they can do. We sleep on a mattress. We beg you to get out . this is why we sang this song for you if you can hear. Come back home. In case you don’t understand Zande ask your friend who knows to explain for you, such that you can get out from the bush. Don’t listen to what the rebels are telling you that once you get out they will kill you, it’s a lie. Make all the effort to get out. Don’t worry at all. Here they care for us. Pray God he will help you, pray day and night.

We are grateful for all. We beg again the LRA to come back home, look at how we are. The station of Radio Zereda is able to welcome everyone as brothers. If you surrender and put down the guns and get out of the bush.
The population of Obo wants all LRA to surrender, we welcome you as our brothers. You can get out and go to Dungu, Mboki, Zemi, or anywhere. We beg you brothers that you stop the war and surrender the guns, come back, you will see the change is going to happen here at home.
Those who are surrendering are living a good life, eating food and bread and enjoying life without problems.
No problems, Ugandans are here, Americans are here, they want to put an end to the war. If you want to come back if it’s not possible to reach the villagers, find the Ugandans or Americans they will welcome you and quickly you will be together with everyone.
The American people came, they want to end the war. Don’t worry, your problem is just to come back, come back home. Sometimes you can go to the villages, just follow up slowly until you will reach home. But don’t use aggression because it is not good, don’t fear. We beg you to stop war and we pray for you morning and evening. Our men are here, the helpers are here, Ugandans are here. My name is Gbambolingbe , the other name which they know me is Agido. The surname is Gito. I am grateful for our men called Mizediyo Ernest, Mizediyo Gabriel, our man Dakatimunga, he has radio and all what I am saying here he is listening. Even Zapay Andre is listening, Father Sengetilani Jean Michel and all our chiefs. I greet you and my wife Logokpio Therese, my neighbours around the house. My sister Julienne I am here in the station Radio Zereda, I thank God for Radio Zereda.

Here we are in the center called Elekiya. All of us we are children who were abducted by LRA in the bush. But after some time, a lot of problems arose. God came and helped us to come out from the bush. Now, the elders/sponsors of the center ilekeya they did all their best to bring us together so that they can train us in various sectors so that we can be able to prepare our future life. Therefore, we are asking our brothers who are still in the bush because you are listening to us, we are crying to you, we are asking you to come back home. Come back to us. I think we will be so happy if we meet again. All of us we are children from Elekiya center and we are sending you greetings. Thanks.
01:00 SONG
God send us those one who are in the bush
We are begging you to leave the bush
We were captured like you in the bush
God had help us, we came out from the bush
God had help us, here we are fine
May God help you to come out from the bush
With joy then we become parents
With joy then we come home
With joy then we meet again
Amen!

The Song we going to sing, is a message to those who are still in the bush. We sing this song so that they can hear about the things at home here. We are a group of children who were abducted and have returned home. Now we are in a place at Dungu called Centre Elikya. We were received well. There is nothing wrong and we are happy. We are kindly asking you if there is no other reason preventing you, come out. Find a way to return home. We will be grateful. We ask God to help you. There is nothing else we can do for you apart from this message.
The other I want to tell you who are still in the bush. I always pray for you I stayed together with you in the bush. I am called Paul. I stayed in a place called Nawe. I am now at Centre Elikya. I was received well. I tell you that there is noone who is going to kill you when you come out.
If you feel like returning home, I pray for you. I also thank GOD for protecting all those who are still in the bush. I also thank Lapwony Okullu.
To all abducted children, comes out leave what you do. I’m Paul Nazamba, I was in Okulu team. I escaped in Nawe in the evening, to come out in Niangara. I invite you to come out. I’m in Centre Elikya, prepared for us, thanks.
1:27 ENGLISH TRANSLATION
I am asking all of you captured by LRA to come out from the bush and leave aside everything that you are doing. In the bush my name was Paul. I was in the troop in OKULUF. Ok! There I ran away one evening and arrive in Niangara. But it was at Nawe that I took off. So I am begging you to come out from the bush,. There is nothing bad. We are at Centre ELIKIYA, a beatufiul place made for us. They welcome us very well. Thanks.
2:12 ENGLISH TRANSLATION
The Song we sing here is for those who are still in the bush to hear and come home. No matter how you are staying. Even when fighting, God will help you
Here we are staying well. No one is killed as we are told in the bush. Even civilians do not kill you when you escape. When you return home, you stay well. Nothing happen on you. When you return, you sleep with your sisters that you left home. We are waiting for you.
We stayed together in the bush at the home of Lapwony Ladere. I have now returned home and happy.
I now thank all those will listen to this message. I thank all the commanders of LRA. Thank you. May God help you.
03:28 SONG TRANSLATION
All those in the bush
Please come back home (repeats)
So that we develop our country
It is useless to stay in the bush
We cry for you! We think about you! God will help you. Come back home
04:58 – (girl message)
You people in the bush
You should start thinking of coming back home
What are you still doing there
For we are already here doing good/great
Lets come together and unite as one
Am back and I am ok here
We are very many that came out of there and we are here
How do you think of coming back home?
What are you still doing and what are you gaining?
We are doing great here
We are only praying to God to help you
Come back home
We are waiting for you
And the day you return here all will be well
We shall take tea together and be well together
They shouldn’t lie to you about here
That when you get back you will be killed
They wont kill you people
Come back home, come back home
All those in the bush
Please come back home (repeats)
So that we develop our country
It is useless to stay in the bush
We cry for you! We think about you! God will help you
Come back home
6:04 (boy message)
Then I want to tell you that
you people who are still in the bush shouldn’t have any fear
Because there is nothing they will do to you
Don’t have any fear if you are one of the people that have escaped
Here we be well
Don’t fear returning home
nothing wrong will happen to you
I was in the group of Dominic
So many bad things happened to us but we made it home safely and nothing wrong has happened to us here.
