    What's baffling is how Kakwenza picked the interest of the German govt very swiftly that they forewent the need for him to enter their country with a passport. So many torture and abduction stories have been documented, petitions made to embassies of the western countries and we have not seen anyone except Kakwenza being airlifted to a country that is not even enemy to the state. Kakwenza's story leaves alot to be desired. It is a signal to some intricate diplomatic gymnastics between Uganda and the West (not just German but the entire West)
