{UAH} EXILES KILLED UGANDANS - PROF. KABWEGYERE

EXILES KILLED UGANDANS - PROF. KABWEGYERE

When Iddi Amin overthrew Milton Obot in 1971, the later fled together with a number of UPC members and army officers to Tanzania.  Among the exiles was Museveni who had been an intelligence officer under the Presidents Office. immediately after fleeing, the exiles embarked on efforts to oust Iddi Amin from power and reinstate Milton Obote.  Among the various methods of fighting Iddi Amin were ; spreading false propaganda, antagonising the regine with the masses, economic sabotage, discrediting the regime though kidnaps and killings, etc.  Museveni who soon fell out with Obote took an active role in efforts to undermine the Iddi Amin government.  In his book, Sowing the Mustard Seed, Museveni discloses that him and his fellow exiles used among other methods; antagonizing prominent politicians, leading academicians and prominent Ugandans with the regime.  He goes ahead to state that they caused a lot of trouble for the Iddi Amin regine and that as a result many prominent personalities fled the country.  The Iddi Amin regime had initially appointed the best brains in the country at the time.  The then DP President General, Ben Kiwanuka whom Iddi Amin had appointed as Chief Justice was among the first victims of kidnappings and brutal murder.  Around 1976, the Arch-Bishop of the Anglican Church in Uganda,  Jana Luwuum was killed alongside two other cabinet ministers.  This particular murder redirected the seemingly fading world attention on Iddi Amin thus it provided an opportunity for exiles to reactivate their anti-Amin activities.

The question of who was behind the murder of prominent people during the reign of Iddi Amin  has always remained contentious.  What has only been resolved is the fact that the Iddi Amin regime murdered some people but not all and its those fighting his regime who stood to benefit from those murders.  On 14th January  2016, Prof. Kabwegyere who had been one of the politically active individuals in exile at the time, appeared on TV West's Akadara (platform) program where he disclosed that exiles fighting Iddi Amin killed prominent people in Uganda.  A senior regime cadre and Cabinet Minister, the Marxist Professor was attempting to highlight the evil deads of Dr. Obote while prising Museveni as being God-sent.  He went ahead to assert that he has evidence that then exiled former Presient Obote killed Ben Kiwanuka and Bishop Janan Luwum.  He added that from exile Obote made moves that placed the two victims in direct fire from Iddi Amin. He gave the example of incriminating letters sent by exiles to Ben Kiwanuka and the guns sent to Bishop Janan Luwum which were at the same tine eliberately leaked by the same senders to the regime.  Unfortunately the moderator did not interrogate him further on the matte



While there is some truth in what he stated, it is a fact that the Professor only feared to to disclose that such manoeuvres were masterminded by Museeveni who had fallen out with the main exile group under Obote and was running a parallel organisation called FRONASA.  Museveni leak plans by Obote group thus undermining their upper hand such that sometimes his fellow exiles suspected him to be a spy. May be next time the Professor will tell Ugandans how  Obote may have gruesomely murdered hundreds of Muslins in Ankole after the fall of Iddi Amin.  The same crude and barbaric methods of fighting to get into powerful power  were repeated during the so called bush war.  Gen. Otafiire confirmed NRA's role in mysterious murders when he stated that during the war they would dress in UPC T-shirts and army uniforms and then cause mayhem to the villagers only the blame be hyped on UPC Youth Wingers and government forces thus discrediting the Obote government. 

In a related development former DP Youth Winger  who is currently Museveni's advisor on Media, Tamale Mirundi  while appearing on a talk-show at NBS TV on 19th January 2016 contended that Paulo Muwanga was right to assume the role of the Electoral Commission during the 1980 elections.  He was trying to show that the opposition is planning to rig the February 2016  by announcing their own results and victory the same way the DP attempted to do it in 1980. Like Prof. Kabweggyere, Mirundi also feared to state that its Museveni who was the Vice Chairman of Paulo Muwanga's Military Commission and he did not protest because he was more interested in DP loosing the poll than anybody else. Had DP won the polls, he would have had no reason for waging the war that brought him to power. 


 Such shocking confessions by the top regime idealogists cleary denotes how desperate Is  the regime camp in marketing  Museveni in this electoral process.


 INFORMATION IS POWER.
