DIDNT MUSEVENI SAVE UGANDANS BY REMOVING IDDI AMIN?
Museveni opposed Iddi Amin but he also significantly contributed to make Iddi Amin the manace that he became. Iddi Amin overthrew President Milton Obote in a military coup in 1971. Obote's overthrow was backed by the west because he had demonstrated communist leanings more especially by openly opposing Apatheid. Tanzania and President Nyerere in particular refused to recognise the new Iddi Amin government. Former President Obote was offered sanctuary in Tanzania as a state guest together with a number of his top goverment and senior military officials. With the backing of Tanzania, efforts to militarily dislodge the Iddi Amin government and reinstate Milton Obote to power were immediately commenced.
A pro-Obote fighters camp was set up at Owiny Kibul in Southern Sudan. Lured by Senior Acholi and Langi army officers like Tito Okello, Oyite Ojok and others who had fled with Obote to Tanzania, some members of the Uganda army and civilian recruits started escaping to Tanzania and Sudan. In one incident 417 recruits destined for the Owiny Kibul camp were intercepted at Ajoech Corner by Iddi Amin's agents assisted by fighters of southern Sudan's Gen. Joseph Lagu's Anyanya movement and massacred. They were mostly Acholis and Langis. Within the Uganda army the purge of Acholis and Langis intensfied more especially after the aborted coup and the foiled open invasion from Tanzania during 1972.
Among the exiled Ugandans in Tanzania, was a little known young and ambitious man called Museveni. He had immediately after university education enilisted (with the help of Mukombe Mpambara) into the first Obote government's intelligence services under the Presidents Office. At the time of the Iddi Amin coup, he was such a junior staff that the new Iddi Amin regime would not have persecuted him into exile. Driven by childhood Presidential ambitions, Museveni voluntarily went to Tanzania to pursue his dream. Museveni did not innitiate a single meaningful anti-Amin group but opportunistically kept moving his membership from one group to another in seach of top leadership positions but also for other sinister motives. Actually, at a certain stage it was widely suspected by the exiled community that Museveni was an Iddi Amin spy. However, he maintained notorius clandestine hit squads inside Uganda that were responsible for alot of myhem that were attributed to the Iddi Amin regime.
In 1979, Iddi Amin was overthrown by the pro-Obote armed group called Kikosi Maluum (Task Force) under the able command of the likes of Oyite Ojok, Tito Okello, Zed Maruru, William Omaria and many others with the backing of the Tanzania army. Museveni was the overall political commissar of the group.
Therefore, its Obote who with the backing of Tanzania fought his way back to regain his presidency.
