Gen Yoweri Museveni's name derives from those Ugandans who served in the 7th Kings African Rifles or KAR.The President of Uganda took on the name of Museveni in memory of Uganda's 7th KAR, and a few years ago we heard of a Congolese rebel group with family connections in Rwanda called the M23; strangely the 23rd KAR were once closely attached to the 7th KAR, which makes one think.
