Subject: [UAH] PRESIDENT MUSEVENI ON KISWAHILI AND LUGANDA

Forumists, l have just come from parliament where President Museveni has addressed the East Africa Legislative Assembly session. He has castigated arbtrary colonial boundaries, and urged member states and other African countries not to consider them very important. He cited an example of himself who was born in Uganda 14 miles from the boearderline with Tanzania, and the same distance with the boarderline with Rwanda.

In his own words, had the boarderline been mate 20 miles depp on any of the Tanzanian or Rwandese border, he would have been a Tanzanian or a Rwandese.
So for those who have been speculating here, the man has said that he was born inside Uganda, and that is what he wrote in hos book, Sowing the mustard Seed. We should stop speculating on the past and concentrate on the future.

As a Muganda, lnkow very well that Kiziba, Karagwe, and Bzinja who now form Kagera Sub Region, and Bukerebwe Island , which are part of Mwanza Region, were integrated parts of the Kingdom of Buganda, but the Heligoland Treaty of 1890 imposed that the British Spehere of Influence would be at one degree south of the Equator, and that is the Mutukula boarderline.

Even, as Banabuddu, we lost the 710 Sq.Miles of Kyaka, that is bertween Mutukula and Kyaka Bridge on River Kagera, whoch the late Idi AMin had reclaimed in 1978 and named it Kagera District under his then South Buganda Province.

That is the palce, according to Prof. Lwanga Lunyiigo, the British wanted to give Buganda in loss of Buyaga and Bugangaizi counties back to Bunyoro, which was in anticipation.

But for the Banyoro, even Rwanda, Burundi, up to Kigoma on Lake Tanganyika, and Wanga among the Baluhya in Western Province of Kenya, all were princes of Kitara.

Secondly, the President has promised to promote Kiswahili as the Regional language and said if he attempts to promote an indigenous one like Luganda, non Baganda will up in arms against him. More details in Bukedde and New Vision tomorrow.
