LEGENDARY WARRIOR
FULL MEMBER
A man is going to eat a rat in front of Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni in protest. This will not be the first time he eats a rat as a form of protest.
John Ojim Omoding, who ate a rat in front of Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni in 2005, is threatening to repeat what he says is a traditional form of protest used to bring change. He is not the only have who has adopted such forms of protest.
According to the 79 year old, his grandfather also ate a live rat in front of British colonizers in 1947, persuading them to make the eastern Torora area a county. Now Omoding wants Tororo promoted to district status and says he may eat more rats in front of the President. He plans on doing so when the president starts touring the country to campaign for a fourth term in office.
Rats are not generally eaten in Uganda, though some members of the Iteso tribe, from which Omoding comes, are said to have considered them a delicacy until the 1950s. Omoding s 2005 rat-eating stunt made headlines in Uganda and he plans to do the same. Omoding said that eating rats was a historic custom, practiced for centuries to induce development programs.
