Thanx for the rather length information below.
The fact of the matter is that the people of Uganda can only react to statements issued by the so called Buganda Royal leaders.
I was perhaps wrong to assume that the so called Buganda Royals who were issuing statement in support of Yoweri Museveni's SAD term, were in essence speaking for the Buganda as a people. It is interesting to note (as you so eloquently pointed out) that there is more political intrigue and intricate in Buganda politics then what meets the eye.
peace! Meanwhile we will keep our ears to the ground... believe me.

You are the one who is myopic, not Baganda. The royal Clan is
one of the 52 clans of Buganda and I think its population could be between
200,000 to 800,000. Read the article properly. Those in the nespapers
associated together to form and register their organization with less than
500 members. Why did they form that organization? You dont know but the
reporter gave you a clue. Princess Ndagire with backings from Mu7, Salim
Saleh, Kakooza Mutale and Prince Kamanya tried to topple Kabaka Mutebi and
disturbilize the Kingdom with the sole aim of making it politically
toothless, and eventually wiping it out. They misculculated and Baganda
behind the Kabaka and Mengo marched to the then cuptured Kasubi Tombs
without fear of the armed Saleh, Mutale &co, and eventually took over the
Tombs. Their step #1 failed misarably. Within a month, the the over powered
armed Ndagire was enlisted in the president's office and later given the
post of special adviser. She is still an "adviser" to Mu7.
Any logical sane person cannot construe from the above
history and current situation that Kabaka Mutebi, Mengo, Buganda Royals (
majority) and Baganda are part and parcel of this group! The tactics mu7 is
using in the north, are basically the same in the west ( Kigezi ), East and
Buganda. He has been telling his philosophy to Ugandans but they dont get
it. He always tells of "ensenene" ( grasshoppers) being put in a tin by Man
( mu7). one type of grasshopper ( kulunkalu) bites off another type (
kulumbisi) and another type ( mulangira) etc. without realising that their
enemy is man (mu7) who put them in a tin is hiding somewhre waiting for his
turn to bite. I think this reminder will put this nosense to its ending.
