During the bush war, M7's leadership faced a challenge from Comdr Sam
Magara his army commander. Magara, a Lawyer and an Ankole royal
commanded a formidable following from among the Hima fighters and a
good section of Baganda fighters too. Magara had earlier defied
Museveni in Tanzania during exile in the 70s when he sought Obote's
help to join the Daresalaam university for a law degree. Much earlier,
still in Tanzania another lawyer and Ankole royal and a close M7
associate, Martin Mwesiga had had mysteriously died. Fingers were
pointed at M7. In the bush Magara mysteriously died and again fingers
were pointed at Museveni. Other Ankole royals like Fred Rubereza and
Hannington Mugabi also died in the bush under questionable
circunstances. The last of the Ankole royals were David Ndayondi who
was transfered from ISO only to be shot by LRA inside Gulu barracks!
Namara Katabarwa died while on Katebe, Peter Mucokori died of natural
causes and Tom Taremwa deserted and fled to the USA. Those were the
last of the Ankole royals in Museveni's army. Later Museveni was to
oppose the restoration of the Ankole monarchy. After Magara's death
Museveni consolidated his control of the NRA. Soon after Tinyefuza
emerged as another headache to Museveni. Shortly before the fall of
Kampala, Tinyefuza had just finished serving a18 months detention
sentence for disobeying the Chairman High Command (M7). He had been
the Director General of Intelligence and Intellince and in his absence
Jim Muhweezi had to act. M7 had given an order suspending all
operation but Tinye defiantly led an operation that unfortunately led
to serious loss of NRA fighters. Tinye took up the command of the
Kyenjojo, Hoima, Masindi axis fighting major battles at Biiso and
Kinyaara. Museveni delibarately did not mention Tinyefuza's role in
his book.
After the fall of Kampala, Tinye was appointed the Brigade Commander
of 163 Brigade based in Kampala. During this time he bursted the first
treason attempt that allegedly involved Andrew Kayiira.
