MK,

You seem to remember only those parts of our history that speak to your sense of loss. If it wasn't for Nyerere and TPDF, Obote and UPC would have found it much harder if at all to return to power in 1980. It was an open secret then who the annointed presidential candidate was. If you don't trust the Waswahili as you put it, we must ask ourselves what changed between 1980 and 1985 for Dr. Obote to fall from grace as a favored personal friend of Nyerere onto the plebeian floor as an expendable political potato.

And I have it from an impeccable source that Jakaya Kikwete doesn't like your nemesis. This source, who had several conversations on the Great Lakes crisis with Kikwete while he was still minister of foreign affairs told me that Kikwete was quite disparaging of Museveni. For example, Kikwete reportedly thinks Museveni is a loudmouth and a megalomaniac who exaggerates his role in history. For example, in African liberation struggles.

Of course of course, I don't want to cause a diplomatic row between Uganda and Tanzania, so I will say no more.

/Those Tanzanian Washwahili brought us Dictator Yoweri Museveni Kaguta. Insider information has it that there were some prominent high ranking Washwahili Generals within TPDF ( Tanzania Peoples Defense Forces) who were very sympathetic to the then Guerrilla Leader Yoweri Museveni Kaguta during the days of Uganda's liberation war and struggle in 1979....I personally do not trust these washwahilis. as the luo would say ..."We mando me IKULU "! trust these washwahilis... you end up with a six inch digger knife embedded deep into your back! That is my opinion!!/
