{UAH} JOHN OGOLE, YOU HAVE MAILO.

Colonel John Ogole was the officer of Uganda National Liberation Army [UNLA] WHO spearheaded the ejection of Kaguta and his rebel peasant army,from the bushes of Luwero between 1983/84.

Before taking Command of the then Mobile Brigade;he had completed successfully a counter-insurgency officers training at Fort Lavenworth Kansas United States . It is of no wonder that Colonel John Charles Ogole became a brilliant battle Tactician and chief Strategist during the peak battle against Kaguta and his NRA/M.

By 1984 Yoweri Kaguta Museveni had fled in panic and promptly sought asylum in the "safe" sanctuary of Sweden as Colonel Ogole dispersed and unleashed superior fire power on what remained of Kagutas' peasant army,many surrendered,some fled in great panic in the Rwenzori region of Western Uganda,some crossed into Zaire now renamed Democratic Republic of Congo-DRC. Actually , those who were fleeing to the DRC were mainly Rwandese of Tutsi descent. You should recall that many of them had been violently expelled from Ankole and so being uprooted from Luwero meant that they had to go some where else .

Zaire was the only natural choice because of its' vast deep forests. Since they had hope to resume/continue their struggle against Habyarimana, that is when they moved towards Rwenzori mountains and had expected to cross through Fort Portal, Mitandi into Congo when lady luck struck. Instead they moved on into Kasese, Mbarara Katonga and eventually Kampala. Four years later, on October 1st, struck Mirima Hills/ Kagitumba and after a disastrous start in which they were completely annihilated, the remnants headed out again towards DRC settling in Virunga mountains were many of their comrades died of cold, hunger and diseases. It would again take them four years to bring the hutu regime in Kigali on their knees, thanks to Yower Kaguta Museveni pay back.

It is said that even former Zairean President Mobuto Sseko had contacted Obotes' government to arrange for repatrations of the national resistence fighters through United nations Refugee Section but as fate would have it , the Okellos coup against Obote was staged on 27th July 1985 and a LIFE LINE was thrown to Kaguta .

When Museveni {aka Kacumita or Butare Boy} got an early morning call in Sweden as he waited on his asylum application, that UNLA had overthrown itself, he could not believe his ears thinking that it was a joke. But no, it wasn't. I can only bet that it still is news in his ears considering how he has had to stay in power for all these years using any means.
For someone who had lost all hope and then is handed power on a silver plate, relinquishing it, is going to be a huge problem.

Col John Ogole is now a grey haired retired man(Abbey's pensioners at Chelsea) whose appearance and demeanor does not seem like the man NRA dreaded most lives in London , UK.
