{UAH} I WAS THERE WHEN BISHOP LUWUM GOT KILLED ---------- Edward Mulindwa

Any person that stands up to state that Iddi Amin killed or instructed
the death of Jonan Luwum, is so uninformed and has to leave discussing
Uganda politics. Amin had nothing to do with it and he was truly
pissed that night than I have ever seen him. And anything passed that
fact, is wolokoso. The commanders wanted them killed, and they were
right to need to kill them for these were people arrested with
weapons, but Amin stood very firm and all that evening at the
Conference center and refused to have them killed. In fact the
afternoon was so split in the decision, that the meeting at the Nile
Mansion ended with a specific instruction from Amin that the Luwum's
and group be kept overnight and the discussion about their fate be
continued on tomorrow.

Then it became where they should spend the night, Nile Mansion wanted
them, Military Police Makindye wanted them, Public Safety Unity in
Naguru wanted them, Army headquarters wanted them. But there was also
a very clear message to Amin from very high command circles that these
men were going to bring war to them, the officers were going to die
and Amin was going to be saved. And that was directly stated into
Amin's ears.

So every sector that would take them for the night, became
questionable as to if it will bring them back the next day alive. Amin
stood up and instructed that they be driven to State House and they
were going to all end up into state house. It so happened that in the
entire country, the only safe place for the Luwums to spend a night
was state house or they were going to die.

On making that statement Amin left Nile Mansion and they were placed
into a convoy supposed to follow the convoy of the president to
Entebbe. A commander that was to lead them to Entebbe drove to Nile
Mansion and they were very immediately killed. Three hours of very
frantic phone calls between commanders a decision was made that Amin
had to be officially informed of their passing before he questions
where they were.

An individual I know and an Amin confidant that was not even a soldier
and not a Munubbi, was allocated the task of waking up Amin and
informing him. When Amin was informed he hanged up his phone in anger,
and he called back in 5 minutes, with a single statement, by sun rise
you need to have come up with the story and it better be good. The man
did not sleep again and it was a very reckless night for him. The
other guy a minister I forget his name was his personal friend from
childhood they went to school together. Yes they had the weapons but
killing them was the very last thing on Amin's mind, but it was the
first thing on the officer's minds and Amin saw it and he was worried
about it. The death of those people was the first time that Amin had a
very direct split from his command. They took the plan to him 4am
rehearsed it and he agreed with it, then it was taken to Radio Uganda.
Jonan Luwum was a killer that deserved every bullet he so got.

I followed that death to a point that I called a relative of Luwum
before midnight to tell them of the death. At minimum I was that
informed about it. The word from the government officially went to the
families at about 5 30am before Radio Uganda broke the story but some
parts of the Luwums family knew already.

What I will go after is why was Luwum targeted and killed:Uganda
church reached a cerebration of 100 years, and a preparation was made
to carry that cerebration nationwide, in a such as everyone was
excited, Jonan Luwum made a plan with his fellow Acholi's that were in
Tanzania to use the convoys of the church coming to Uganda and ferry
weapons into eh country. Weapons were loaded on trailers and driven to
Uganda via Malaba. At a time Bishop Yona Okoth who was the bishop of
Tororo also knew of the consignment. Bishop Kivengere that was in
Kabale also knew of the plan. A third man that knew of it was Cassim
Obura.

Through the guidance of Yona Okoth the weapons approached Uganda and
got cleared, they headed for Namirembe and were received by Jonan
Luwum. What everyone failed to realize at a time was that State
Research, Public Safety Unity and Military Police had already been
informed of the weapons entering Uganda and among the transporters
were also State Research officials working as truck drivers and turn
boys. The weapons arrived to Namirembe and got seized, Jonan Luwum
arrested. The weapons were publicly displayed to the international
community and it was not a concoction of Iddi Amin but a country saved
by a government with a very good intelligence network. There are other
Acholi's that were arrested but Luwum and the two ministers were
arrested that day and the trucks seized.

Bishop Yona Okoth and Bishop Kivengere on knowing that the trucks had
been seized and Luwum arrested, bolted the country, thus Kivengere
ending up in United States and Yona Okoth into Canada. As any stupid
Acholi, Jonan Luwum was late to leave the country and he thus got
nabbed by the net.

When you bring guns into any country including United States, you get
arrested and easily end up kindly, I cannot see Obama sitting with
ISIS to talk and when we go after Iddi Amin for he killed Jonan Luwum
we are asking him to sit with ISIS. Jonan Luwum was not a holly man,
he was a cancer and that cancer had to be cut out and thanks to Iddi
Amin for the strength that cut it out for now we have real people than
the graves Luwum wanted to install on Uganda.

There are two points I need you to realize here. After Amin's
departure, both Yona Okoth and Kivengere's family joined politics
directly. For the first time those very two families refused to
produce future bishops but politicians screwing us today, second
point, at the entrance of Yoweri Museveni into power, way even before
he tied his shoe less in state house he instructed the decapitation of
Cassim Obura for he was a bad Acholi to protect Ugandans from Jonan
Luwum a fellow Acholi. If you want peace in our country join me into
calling for the resting in peace of Cassim Obura for he probably saved
your sorry behind at one point.


Get informed about the issue then debate it.
