That is what I am trying to put across to my friends here that the solution for
Uganda is not as simplistic as Federalism. You cannot get a good system and
throw it into Uganda a population that screwed up from get go. You hand
Federalism to them they will kill each other to oblivion. Of late we are
getting reports that the oldies in villages do not want to pick up money from
local banks, when you wire it they want to come to large cities for the local
banks in rural areas alert the thieves on who got 5 million shillings yesterday
and it is sitting in the house. Yes for they know that the oldie does not have
a bank a count so it must be in the house hey show up in the night and pick it
up, many have been killed in the process. And Gook just for clarification,
these are Baganda kids working banks alerting fellow Baganda thieves to go and
murder an old Muganda woman with money. Tell me how federalism will cure that
!!!!!
To Uganda, Federalism is nursing a wound without taking the pus out.

Ugandans,
It's this Etyang man who is more dangerous than Khamis!
For example , The problem between the Jopadhola and Itesots in Tororo is mainly
his handiwork!
Bringing confusion between a people that have long learnt to live with each
other peacefully by sowing his " bastard" seeds amongst them! Is this one too
caused by Khamis?
Ugandans we are our worst enemies!

ABOUT LT. KHAMIS SAFI
---------------------------------
Lieutenant colonel Khamis Safi leader Uganda army Religious Affairs

The head of the Religious Services at the time, Col Khamis Safi, was from the
Nubian tribe and a Muslim like Amin. Safi was the son of a man believed to have
walked to Mecca, on pilgrimage, in 1917. It is a popular Nubian story. Because
he survived the treacherous journey by land, he was deemed to have been a holy
man. And because he was holy even his children must be holy. Khamis Safi was
therefore an obvious choice to be head of Religious Services.
“By 1972,” Ambassador Etiang recalls, “Khamis Safi was usually the last person
to visit Amin every day at State House. On 4 July 1972, I happened to be among
the last three to leave. There was Khamis Safi and Mustafa Ramathan, who was
the minister for cooperatives. We were having a light chat when Amin came in.
“Khamis posed a question to Amin: ‘Afande, have you ever asked yourself why God
made you a president?’ Amin replied by asking Khamis: ‘What do you mean?’
“‘God appointed you president,’ Khamis repeated. ‘There are many injustices in
this country. Each tribe has a place they call home. Even Etiang here, the
Itesots have a place. But have you ever asked yourself, where do the Nubians
come from? As far as I know God made you president to rectify the wrongs that
have been handed to Nubians in this country. We are the ones who brought
Captain Baker here, we are the ones who founded Kampala. Kampala is Nubian
territory.’
“Amin was listening. You should have been there when this supposedly holy man
was talking to Amin, he would be docile,” said Etiang.
Amin said, maybe it is true. But Mustafa Ramathan challenged the argument that
Kampala was Nubian territory.
But Khamis insisted that Nubians too needed a place. “We brought the Muzungu
(white man) here on our backs. He set up camp at Old Kampala. This place is
ours.”
Amin said, “OK, we’ll think about it.”
Three weeks later, Amin left for Karamoja by helicopter. There, he revealed
that he had had a dream that what Khamis had said was true. That God had
revealed to him that unless he obeyed the advice of the holy son, Uganda risked
being taken over by the imperialists.
“I believe that was the origin of the expulsion,” Ambassador Etiang says. “Once
you told Amin something and he liked it, he would keep it to himself and then
later put it in his own way like it was his idea.”
When Amin told the cabinet about the expulsion, it was greeted with scepticism.
The civil service received the implementation orders as a cabinet directive.
The attorney general was directed to draft an expulsion order. Amin was later
told he could not expel all the Asians because some were Ugandans.
“I met Khamis at State House again,” Ambassador Etiang remembers. “He told Amin
in Kiswahili that what you have done is very good but if you want to remove
this tree from here, you don’t just cut off the branches. The idea of only
non-citizens leaving is like a branch. Remove the whole tree. An Indian is an
Indian. He can have three passports at a time. All of them could be with two or
more passports. Amin said okay.
“The Asians who suffered a lot are those who professed to be Ugandan because
while the other ones had three months’ notice, the Ugandan-Asians had less than
a month to leave.”
They had to abandon the property given to them by their departing relatives and
friends. Says Etiang: “This man Khamis Safi is the single individual who
brought all this up.”
