BAGANDA WAR VETERANS TO EARN BIG FROM THE BOBI WINE THREAT
CHANGE OF GUARDS - The Baganda is a dominant tribe in the central region of Uganda. They supported Museveni's five years Bush War that was concentrated in their stronghold that came to be known as the Luweero Triangle. They paid heavily for supporting that war. They were killed by both the government and NRA soldiers. They lost property and unlike Museveni's Balalo (pastoralists) whose cows that were eaten by the NRA which were documented and after the war compensated and given free land, the Baganda cultivators whose food fed the NRA got a raw deal.
The once booming food and cash crop basket of the country is now the epicentre of abject poverty, poor roads, poor education and health infrastructure. Some 33 years since the end of the war, Museveni deliberately ignored the rehabilitation of Luwero Triangle for two major reasons;
1. It would encourage other regions to support an armed uprising against him.
2. The Baganda in the Luwero Triangle would have value for their land thus would not sell it off to Museveni's cohorts. Luwero Triangle is the worst hit by Museveni's land grabbing scheme.
Before Museveni captured power, lower ranks of his NRA were dominated by the Baganda. The long misunderstanding over Baganda fighters in the NRA being used to do the donkey work reached its climax. Museveni had to tactfully move very fast by inviting the then Prince Ronald Mutebi to visit the liberated zone and assure the Baganda fighters. Some 33 years since Museveni came to power, the influence of the Baganda has been systematically eliminated from the NRA.
There is a group of 5000 so called NRA War Veterans from Kiboga who have been camping (see photo) at Kitagenda Primary School in Lwamata since May 2017. They are protesting the regime's failure to compensate them for the losses they incurred during the Bush War.
As is usually the case, owing to current new political threat by the Kyandondo East legislator, Bobi Wine, Museveni must be preparing to hoodwink these Baganda war veterans with the usual empty promises.
INFORMATION IS POWER AND THE PROBLEM OF UGANDA IS MUSEVENISM
