ugnet_: BEWARE OF BUGANDA

[Edward Mulindwa]

Beware of Buganda A close look at our history shows that Buganda is so far largely to blame for Uganda�s political troubles since independence. Buganda dumped Ben Kiwanuka (RIP) for Dr Milton Obote through the UPC/ KY Alliance. The reward they got was a heinous attack on the Kabaka�s Palace. The above stand-off made them shift their allegiance in favour of Idi Amin Dada, ironically the champion of the attack on Kabakaship. The socio-economic and political havoc wreaked by Amin, is well documented. Buganda treated Obote�s �second coming� with suspicion, making them to enthusiastically support the 1981/86 resistance in Luwero and other parts of Buganda. The country is yet to recover from the after effects of that vicious conflict. Sadly, Buganda is indefatigably at it again. So far, they are the unrivalled sponsors of ekisanja, euphemism for life presidency. Perhaps, Mr. Ian Kyeyune- the Wakiso District Chairman, a fanatic supporter of ekisanja, was spot on when he averred that Buganda has never failed to push for something and get what it wants. To all peace-loving Ugandans, beware of Buganda. Humphrey K.
