There are now more specialists than one really cares to know on 1966. Here is another one from Mr. Charles Mayiga.

Let me ask one question, would just this simple reason explain why they "HATE" the 'Badokoli' so much?. Or put it the Bush way: "Do they hate our way of life so much that....that... I mean I don't understand why they hate the Badokoli so much."

"...It was caused essentially because (Dr Milton) Obote felt threatened. If you consult your historical records, you will discover that at that time, there was going to be a UPC delegates conference, which was working very closely with Buganda to throw Obote out of chairmanship of UPC.

And the elections were slated for 1967 anyway. If Obote had been thrown out of the chairmanship in 1965 or 1966, his leadership was going to cease because he would not be the Prime Minister of Uganda after that. That was the essential element of the 1966 crisis.

Then there was a clash of personalities between Obote and Kabaka Mutesa. The two leaders failed to work together. It is not useful to go into the details of why they failed to work together. What is important for us is to understand that the cause of the 1966 crisis was not federalism."

Tell me about it......

Kingdoms cautioned
By Badru D. Mulumba
July 16, 2004

KAMPALA — The Premier, Prof. Apolo Nsibambi, yesterday warned cultural and religious leaders against dabbling in partisan politics. Yesterday’s warning comes amid intensifying tensions over a campaign to lift presidential term limits - a proposal rejected by religious leaders and some members of cultural institutions. “If you must decide to participate in partisan politics, you should be prepared to bear the consequences. Traditional leaders must be assiduously guided before making partisan statements,” he said. “I also advise religious leaders to avoid partisan politics because they divide our people. You can’t make partisan statements and expect not to be criticised.” Nsibambi was launching the UNDP Human Development Report at the International Conference Centre. He recalled: “In 1967, Dr [Milton] Obote abolished monarchism. I cherish monarchs, but developmental monarchs. There was conflict between Republicanism and Monarchism; he wanted to standardise everything. As we blame Obote, we should note some mistakes were made because our cultural leaders were participating in partisan politics.”
