Why the Luwero war was justified?

Regarding the justification of the Luwero war, I still believe it was justified and I support the initiative taken by Museveni and others to fight Obote’s government. To broaden this discussion a bit, I’m gonna mention the main principles of the justice of war which are: having just cause, being declared by a proper authority, [...]

Obote came back to be a president

1.  I hate it when someone calls people what they are not. Let us be clear on the role played by Obote during the 1979 liberation war. The fact of the matter is Ugandans should credit Obote for keeping his friendship with Nyerere intact because hadn’t been Nyerere’s forces; Amin would have died a president [...]

Why Luwero war was justified(part2)

1. Yes, it is true that UPC and NRM came to power differently but they have now got a lot in common. When one analyses Museveni’s 3rd term (6th term), it is operating on the same UPC principles of isolating enemies, weakening the baganda and Buganda kingdom, building an ethnic based army and call it [...]

‘law of Moses’ to the Baganda & Banyarwanda

This is not the first time Ugandans have heard of people say that they won’t live power even if they lose the elections. What some people in NRMO said during 2001 and 2006 elections is more of like history repeating itself in Uganda. When Obote came back from his exile in Tanzania, he asked the opposition where their [...]

IS UGANDA BETTER SINCE THE SUSPENSION OF 1962 CONSTITUTION

 Obote as prime minister broke the law by suspending the 1962 constitution. It was illegal for obote to suspend the 1962 independence constitution, the post of the president and of vice president. The whole act was unconstitutional. Obote knew that by suspending the president, who was also the Kabaka of Buganda, hard times would follow [...]

How the 1980 elections were rigged(part1)?

I found this topic very interesting because whatever means UPC used to steal the 1980 elections are the same means NRMO are now using to steal the presidential elections in Uganda. It shows that Ugandan leaders never learn anything from history and that makes us doomed. So how did Obote’s UPC steal the 1980 elections?
Obote [...]

Demarcation of constituencies(1980)

The rigging of the 1980 elections was planned way before the 1980 elections as evidenced in the letters or documents written by Obote and Paul Muwanga themselves. Actually, these elections were worse than the Kenyan situation if one is referring to Odinga-Kibaki sag, and the Musevenis and Group had legitimate reasons for waging a war to [...]

Obote’s Kikosi Mahalun(KM) wasn’t the only pillar in 1979 war

The UNLA was formed as a militant wing of the UNLF at Moshi in March 1979. Obote took advantage of this situation to control the war and to push his main long term of objective of bringing UPC back to power. The war’s success did not depend on Obote single-handedly as some people say. I [...]

How the 1980 elections were rigged(part 2)?

One thing for sure is that elections are not only rigged on the day of elections. There are rigged for years before the elections take place and Obote and UPC did exactly that in 1980. The rigging of the
1980 elections can be proved by both circumstantial and documentary evidence. Dr.Obote preferred to communicate to his people mostly [...]

Obote began the military politics in Uganda

 I’m going to create this as the background to show readers Obote’s evils and how he nurtured Museveni,to avoid mixing up issues.  I want to show readers where Museveni learnt all the tactics he using in running the UPDF today.
 
In his book African Upheavals since Independence (Westview, 1980), Grace Ibingira, ex-Minister of Justice, recalls a conversation he [...]

Buganda is already a semi-state

I would like to tell you and all other peace loving Ugandans that Buganda is already a state on its own. All it lacks is an army and direct political power. Buganda kingdom has developed institutions, financing mechanisms and policy tools since its restoration in 1993. What we don’t know is how the Buganda kingdom [...]

Tear Gas In Uganda

After watching a song by one Ugandan musician (Mega dee) campaigning against the so called ‘tear gas’, I felt it is high time to add my voice to this menace to the society.Some body should talk to the police boss in Uganda, Gen. Kayihura about this. Ugandans should be allowed to express their frustrations through demonstrations without [...]

Traditional or herbal medicine in Uganda

I’m not an expert in herbal medicine but it works perfectly well. I agree that it needs to be run along with conventional medicine. Herbs have been an important source of medicine for thousands of years. The World Health Organization estimates that up to 80 percent of people still rely on herbal remedies for their [...]
