The raging war in the North African Country of Libya has far much more effects on the people of Uganda than we expected.
The prices of all gasoline have tremendously skyrocketed to 3500= in the city and in the remotest districts of Bundibugyo petrol costs between 5000= and 7000=. This has made the situation worse as most of the essential commodities have also doubled.
Families are finding it hard to feed their children. In many families, those who can manage to get food eat once a day yet others have resorted to the law of the jungle survival for the fittest. A kilo of maize flower which recently was costing 1500 now costs 2500=, a kilo of beans which was 1500 now costs 2800 and in some places costs 3000=.
A loaf of Bread before the war erupted cost 2500 now it cost 3500. Something has to be done very soon to stop this senseless war that has not only caused misery to Libyans but also to the ordinary innocent Ugandans.
