The Kabaka of Buganda launches a book on Ssekabaka Muteesa II struggles:

Posted Friday, 27 May, 2016

 

By the Monitor, Uganda

Kampala in the State Kingdom of Buganda:
Kabaka Ronald Mutebi on Wednesday, 25th May 2016,  launched a book about the struggles of his late father and former Buganda king, Edward Muteesa II, touching on Uganda’s history before and after independence.

The book titled The Brave King, revisits the stories of Muteesa’s exiling, first between 1953 and 1955, and again from 1966 to 1969 when he died in London. The author, Mr Patrick Makumbi, drew from the documents preserved by his father, 99-year-old Thomas Makumbi, who was an official at Mengo, Buganda’s power capital.

“I was very happy to write the preface to this book,” Kabaka Mutebi said, adding: “It will help the readers understand what Kabaka Muteesa went through in those days.”

When Mutesa was exiled in 1953, the older Makumbi, the father of the author, led a team of six Buganda officials to negotiate with the British about the king’s return to Buganda, which was secured in 1955. The other members of the team were Mr Apollo Kironde, Mr Matayo Mugwanya, Mr Amos Sempa, Mr Eridadi Mulira and Mr Ernest Kalibbala.

Kabaka Mutebi, while officiating at the function, called on more people to document what they saw during those days, saying “it is a good thing” that some of those who witnessed or participated in the events are still alive. Muteesa himself wrote about the period in question in his autobiography, The Desecration of my Kingdom, and Kabaka Mutebi’s endorsement of Mr Makumbi’s new book will be seen as an extension of the kingdom’s bid to manage the narrative.

Mr Apollo Makubuya, Buganda’s third deputy Katikkiro, at the launch held at Bulange-Mengo said there have been attempts to misrepresent history by “those who do not like us”.

Accusations and counter accusations of betrayal between Buganda Kingdom and Obote are rooted in a rather happy start, when Buganda’s party Kabaka Yekka (KY) teamed up with Obote’s Uganda People’s Congress to defeat the Democratic Party and form government at independence in 1962.

But the two centres of power soon quarrelled violently and were involved in what many have regarded as a critical turning point in Uganda’s history. The army, on Obote’s orders, stormed Muteesa’s palace on May 24, 1966, killing multitudes and forcing the king-president into exile.

Mr Makubuya said his grandfather was among those killed during the attack, an occasion the kingdom commemorates yearly on May 24. He said in addition to explaining how Buganda and Muteesa suffered during that period, Mr Makumbi’s book will clarify a number of other issues, including how colonialism thwarted Buganda’s development efforts.

He said Buganda stiffly resisted colonialism and the demands of colonial governor Andrew Cohen in particular, to the extent of winning a court case in London against the exiling of Muteesa. In all its efforts, Mr Makubuya said, Buganda was consistently seeking autonomy, and that the kingdom can “never” lose sight of this objective.

Mr Makumbi, the author, said his father could not attend the launch due to old age.

The publication of the book was financed by Dr Colin Sentongo, who said at the launch that KY, which ceased to exist in the 1960s, is the only political party he has ever belonged to.

The fathers of Mr Makumbi and Dr Sentongo met with Muteesa as students at Kings College Budo, from where, Mr Sentongo said, the three men forged a life-long friendship. It is probably much for this reason that Kabaka Mutebi warmed up to Mr Sentongo and Mr Makumbi at the launch.

In the Parliament of Uganda, Oulanyah has defeated Kadaga to become speaker of the 11th parliament:

 

 

Written by URN

 

Omoro county MP, Jacob Oulanyah has been elected as the new speaker of the 11th parliament.

 

Oulanyah polled 310 votes against his fiercest rival Rebecca Alitwala Kadaga who polled 197 votes.

Kadaga defied her own ruling party, NRM to contest as an independent after the party central executive committee (CEC) chose Oulanyah as their unopposed candidate. Ssemujju Nganda who stood on the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) polled 15 votes and there were 2 invalid votes. 

The voting process was presided over by chief justice Alfonse Owiny-Dollo and watched over keenly by President Yoweri Museveni.

After swearing-in, Oulanyah said this particular election has been challenging and expectations and uncertainties aplenty but he pledged to unite the house and promote good governance.

He said utmost due diligence will be the catchphrase during his reign as speaker of the 11th parliament as they work together to deliver Uganda to middle-income status.

He said facts and evidence-based decision making, tolerance, harmony, and national interest above party interests will be the modus operandi during sessions and debates of problems presented before the House.

Oulanyah said much as MPs can change political parties, it's almost highly unlikely that one will change nationality and hence national interest takes precedence over party positions and interests. 

"We should agree that no view will be suppressed and all views will be received with tolerance...If we act in a harmonious way, we will always find a way. And therefore, we have a collective responsibility to work together," Oulanyah said. 

 

Museveni hands over instruments of power to Jacob Oulanyah

Oulanyah said the time has come to change the perception of parliament where people will start viewing parliamentarians as patriotic citizens working towards their common interests. 

They were tensions when the presidential guards (SFC) invaded the House in an attempt to arrest protesting National Unity Platform (NUP) MPs. The matter was raised by Kawungu West MP Mathias Ssewungu and Owiny-Dollo ordered the soldiers out of the chambers in vain. Museveni then irregularly took over the speaker's role and ordered his soldiers out of the tent to "heal the allergy of soldiers for Ssewungu."

Nb

Indeed it is a good change even if they are all the same. This is a lady that new well that her democratic job is a double-edged sword. She saved the political party from being cut up when she worked hard to amend the constitution of Uganda, but her much loved political party turned in the sword and cut her up to her proper size! No sweat.

 

 

 

 

 

The Army of Uganda is not happy for the politically independent movement organization called People Power to wear red berets:

This is the country's Ground and Air Armed Forces that want to be called the Uganda People's Army:

By Anthony Wesaka of the Monitor, Uganda

14 October,  2019

The Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) has reiterated its warning to Kyadondo East MP Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine, and his People Power pressure group supporters to desist from wearing red berets that resemble official army attire. 

In Summary

  • Recently, Mr Ivan Bwowe, a lawyer, petitioned the High Court in Kampala, challenging the ban.

The Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) has reiterated its warning to Kyadondo East MP Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine, and his People Power pressure group supporters to desist from wearing red berets that resemble official army attire.

“If you are engaging in civil activities and you show signs that you are moving to militancy, it is like moving in an area which is not your own. What I see is the red berets making the military to compete with civilians on which attires to wear, which symbols to use,” Brig Henry Matsiko, the UPDF chief political commissar, said last Friday during release of a human rights defenders’ report tilted ‘Democracy on Trial’.

“We have seen non-civil activities that went into the military actions, drawing in the army. When you show signs that you are no longer confident of the civil action and you want to go military, then be ready to face those whose mandate is to defend the authority of the people. So anything that threatens people’s authority, it is the role of the UPDF. Anybody who wants to threaten the democratic foundations of Uganda, invites intervention of the UPDF,” he added.

However, Mr Joel Senyonyi, the People Power spokesperson, asked the army to stick to their UPDF berets.
“We shall keep wearing them (berets) whenever we want to. The other day, we were at police and we wore them and as I was saying earlier on, we have been anxiously waiting for anyone to be charged with wearing a red beret,” Mr Senyonyi said on the sidelines of the report launch.

Last month, government published in the national gazette the UPDF uniforms and other wear that included red berets, which civilians should not wear. The army announced that anyone found wearing them will be prosecuted under the UPDF law.
The ban came two months after People Power launched the attire as one of their campaign brand symbols in preparation for the 2021 general elections.
Recently, Mr Ivan Bwowe, a lawyer, petitioned the High Court in Kampala, challenging the ban.

The matter is still pending before the court.
Meanwhile, the report findings indicated that human rights defenders are struggling to enjoy their freedoms of expression, assembly and association during election periods.
“Some human rights defenders are targeted individually because of their work. An analysis of the violations documented indicates that the attacks were largely influenced by vague and repressive laws such as sections of the Public Order Management Act and Computer Misuse Act,” the report reads in part.

 

 

 

 

 

In Uganda another famous musician has been kidnapped and killed by organized killer squads that are freely roaming the country any how:

6th August, 2019

 

The Monitor reporter, Uganda

The death of Ziggy Wyne;  Bobi Wine speaks out as the country of Uganda continues to become violent:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The young musician Ziggy Wyne

 

As police embark on investigating the death of  musician Michael Kalinda aka Ziggy Wyne was kidnapped, beaten and left for dead a couple of weeks ago, Kyaddondo East Member of Parliament Mr Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine has issued a statement saying such atrocities will not deter them from struggling for political change.

Ziggy Wine was found in a devastating state on Friday evening with his left eye plucked out and two of his fingers cut off.

He breated his last on Sunday evening at Mulago National Referral Hospital where he was dumped by his kidnappers.

Bobi Wine’s full slightly edited statement

A few weeks ago, a long time friend, musician and strong supporter of the #PeoplePower movement in Uganda was kidnapped. Kalinda Michael, mostly known by his stage name Zigy Wyne was abducted and subjected to horrendous forms of torture. His left eye was plucked out, two of his fingers cut off and parts of his body were burnt with a flat iron. He was beaten to near death, and dumped at Mulago hospital by unknown people where he spent a week before being identified by his family and friends. Last night, he was declared dead.

Since August 2018 when I was brutally arrested and tortured alongside more than 36 other Ugandan political leaders and activists, countless other Ugandans who have openly identified with the #PeoplePower movement have been kidnapped, illegally detained, tortured or murdered in cold blood. Only these past three months, there have been several attacks on many friends and comrades.

Indeed, on 14th May, 2019 Raphael Walugembe our coordinator and student of Nkozi University was shot dead in Nateete under suspicious circumstances. Around May 20th Mukisa Joshua William one of the People Power candidates in the Makerere University guild election was kidnapped, only to reappear with severe torture marks. Likewise, Ashburg Katto who also works with our media team was kidnapped only to be later dumped at a roadside.

On 22nd May, our supporter and coordinator Okot P’ Bitek Junior sustained grave injuries after being shot in Amolatar district by a UPDF solider. On May 23rd, Ssebulime Rashid, a local leader in Kawempe Division was attacked and his house set ablaze. He sustained severe injuries. On 3rd June, our strong mobiliser from Busiro North constituency, Kibalama John Bosco was abducted and to date, his whereabouts are not known.

On 4th June, another coordinator and popular artiste Lucky Bosmic Otim was severely brutalized by the police in Gulu District. On 7th June, our strong mobiliser and L.C. 5 Councillor for Buvuma district, Lukoma Stephen Ssalongo was shot dead.

These are only few of the many supporters and comrades who have been victims of targeted attacks. We have received reports of people being arrested and detained for putting on either the red beret or t-shirts branded with our symbols or slogans.

Whenever we have activities such as attending court sessions or rallies, countless young people are brutalized, arrested and illegally detained in the various cells around the country. Many have reported being beaten up from police stations and asked to denounce People Power if they want to live.

Indeed last year, a well-wisher released a video recording of police officers at Kajjansi police post beating up 30 year old Kassim Migadde as they mocked him for associating with People Power.

At the end of April this year, when I was brutally arrested and illegally placed under house arrest, many young people who came out to peacefully protest against police brutality were arrested, tortured and many are still under detention.

 It was during that time that our friend and comrade, Nalongo Nana Mwafrika was manhandled by police officers, severely tortured, culminating in losing her uterus! Earlier, Justine Ssekandi, a female artiste who composed a song in support of our movement was abducted from Kamwokya, beaten to a pulp and dropped in the mortuary thinking she was dead – she spent several hours amongst dead bodies!

Some other comrades and friends have recently died in very suspicious road accidents.

Our calls to have these matters investigated by the authorities and perpetrators brought to book never yield much. Further, we have filed several court cases about these violations including the one about the murder of my driver Yasin Kawuma, but there has not been much progress. The Uganda Human Rights Commission has equally let us down in our efforts to put an end to untold levels of torture and brutality.

Sometimes, officers handling them have disclosed that they are orders from above not to follow them up. Many colleagues including those I work with very closely have received calls from unknown people with clear threats of death, should they continue to support People Power! Only yesterday, music promoters Andrew Mukasa (Bajjo) and Abbey Musinguzi (Abtex) were violently arrested, and their music show blocked for their perceived association with me and People Power!

Kazibwe Bashir, a young journalist and leader of the journalists association, who has been outspoken against injustice and impunity is still struggling to recover after he was allegedly poisoned by unknown people.

I must add that many other people, who have been vocal in opposing President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni’s regime of 33 years, regardless of whether they belong to his ‘party’ or other political formations have been equally assaulted, tortured and intimidated.

Only three weeks back, former journalist and preacher, Joseph Kabuleta was abducted from a restaurant, bundled into a private vehicle and taken into a security facility where as he narrates, he was subjected to torture and intimidation.

Similarly, on 24th June, Oprah Phoebe Kiddu a youth leader in President Museveni’s NRM party was abducted by security operatives from Mengo in Kampala and subjected to gross forms of torture for over three weeks until she was dumped on the roadside on 19th July. She has stated that her captors demanded that she stops opposing Museveni’s sole candidature as well as leading a pro-democracy pressure group.

As we draw towards the 2021 elections, it is apparent that the ruling party  is determined to silence any form of dissent using extreme violence. Although they came to power castigating former presidents Milton Obote and Idi Amin of torture and extra-judicial killings of their opponents, they  seem determined to out-do their record in terms of committing unspeakable atrocities against the wanainchi.

Despite these grave and provocative violations against us and our people, we are committed to using peaceful means in our quest for political change in Uganda.

We call upon all peace loving citizens of the world to join us in condemning horrendous violations against innocent citizens in Uganda. We thank you all for your support and solidarity thus far, and continue to call upon you to support us as we struggle for a better country which respects human rights and human dignity. We can and shall achieve this, God being our help.

 For God and My Country!
