THE BESIGYE THAT YOU NEVER KNEW.
Born 61 years ago at Rwakabengo in Rukungiri District. He attended Kinyasano Primary School and Mbarara Junior School. The second born in a family of 6, both his parents died before he finished primary school. His father was a police man. He went to Kinyasano Primary School,and Mbarara Junior School for his Primary school education. He later joined Kampala's Kitante High School for his Ordinary Levels and then Kigezi High School in Kabale District for his Advanced Level education.
Enrolled at Makerere University in 1975, graduating with a degree in human medicine in 1980. He resented the misconduct of Obote and his men and he decided to join the then rebel group that was known as NRA in luweero against dictatorship. He was the doctor the rebels had though a fighter at the same time. When the ear ended he was appointed the minister of interior and later a political commissar in 1991.
He was a devoted servant until around 1993 when he and a few others began feeling that the government that they fought to bring to power was not for ugandans. They never wanted to make Uganda better but they had a hidden agenda against Uganda and Ugandans. This was visible from the way the governance was executed from the hidden circles. So they divided to do something to save the future of Uganda. The plans were led by Hon. Bidandi Ssali and Eria kategaya. Kiyonga, Garuga and others were secretly nursing the intention of a Messianic missions. So because Besigye was commissar by then he traversed the whole country preparing Ugandans for the new dawn. All these were secret moves. He did this up to around 1995. He had done his job wisely covertly and had finished it.
He now called upon Bidandi to declare. Surprisingly, Bidandi had changed his mind well beforehand. He declined to contest Museveni. Kiyonga was next in queue he as well betrayed the mission. Kategaya never betrayed but he was too coward to contest Museveni openly.
Now Besigye was left alone in danger. Its not clear who did but it was either Bidandi or Kiyonga who infirmed Museveni about Besigye's move.
Afraid of what may happen, he went to Garuga and told him that the men had betrayed them. Now Garuga gave Kizza-Besigye two options to either run to exile or declare he had decided to contest Museveni and his government. It was a had decision because they both knew his bad Museveni is especially against his opponents. Exile was not such an easy choice too. Its damn expending. Now Kizza-Besigye saw with his two eyes death was watching TV with him. By this time he had made legal arrangements to leave the army who his bosses had okayed because no one doubted his loyalty.
So Kiizza Besigye chose to take on Museveni by himself now that all his mates had cowardised. He wrote a missive to Museveni elaborating how derailed NRM had become. Whether by luck or curse, the missive appeared in the news papers two days later. No one, not even Besigye knows who sneaked the document to paparazzi. Now Museveni went wild.
He wanted to teach Besigye some discipline. He even took him to court martial but the Mukiga seemed neither afraid nor apologetic. Museveni invited Rukungiri elders and Kiizza Besigye's clan heads to Nakasero. He asked them to sweet talk their kid or else he faces Museveni wrath. The elders met Besigye who was renting in FortBell Luzira. He told them that he didn't know who put the document to papers but he was not sorry it appeared in papers because he never lied about anything that was happening in government. They threatened him that the "man" was very angry and he may even kill him. They never wanted to lose their son; they added.
He replied firmly that by taking the course he chose to take, he was dead already. He went to Bush and shaded blood and half a million people had died to get rid of what Museveni was reinstating. So he was dead already. Sensing that they were playing guitar to a sheep they parted.
Whoever after reading the missive, many elites were divided into two emotions: fear and hope. Besigye had dine something that everyone could have done before but cowardice barred them. Now that they were saved and some brave heart had done it, they were afraid that associating with Kiizza Besigye was the worse idea one would ever hold.
That why in 2001 Besigye was helped by renowned opposition leaders like ssebaggala and the young boys from Makerere led by Lukwago and Kivumbi. Not because those in NRM were against them but because they put self above country. He then stood in 2001 and we all remember Bidandi's political ad of "Olina keweekoledde"? Its surprising. Isn't it? After the election violence that I witnessed some of the horrors by myself, Kiizza Besigye flew to exile. He left and crossed the boarders camouflaging like a woman in Gomesi attire with a Vail. He looked so cute that some security guarded didn't hesitate taking his number! He flew to Zambia. Its from here that other reform agenda Generals met him to form FDC.
Still no one was bold enough to contest Museveni. They went for Kiizza Besigye and convinced him to return and contest. He agreed and returned after the opposition MPs and stakeholders forced regime to reinstate parties in 2005. He was arrested immediately he dropped on Ugandan soil. Thrown to gallows. Remembers he was registered as a presidential candidate while in prison. Treason, rape etc were the charges this time. He beat the regime both in court and election in 2006. The dictator was not ready to leave. Many were killed in protests and Kiizza Besigye went to court to contest poll result. This time Museveni even appeared in court. Judges ruled that election was not free and fair and thus its very certain that it was rigged, " ...but for the good of the country, we shall go with the result"
Besigye has never been a politician. Not in school or village. He has never in life competited for a debater's club president. His first political move was in 2001. So all this time he has stood to his word against bad governance, dictatorship, autocracy, kleptocracy, political aristocracy, land grabbing, corruption, deception, embezzlement and reserve fund robbery by these refugee. He has never changed on his dedication to oust Museveni and his thieves. He has stood to germinate more and more activists and freedom fighters. He has supported every straight minded politicians no matter which party he comes from although many have and still stab him in the back.
Some light minded politicians especially on opposition think that he is a fool. But no one knows better that Kiizza Besigye is a genius than Museveni. This is why he never gives him space to do what he does. Some think that he is a mole but its surprising that the rumour is disseminated by NRM cadres. How do I send a spy to my enemy army and I again expose them? Sense!
He's drowned his soul to liberating us and no one has ever been such resilient, consistent and brave for such a long time. Even those who fight him from opposition its this that they envy. He is a Ugandan sweetheart not because we do not have other alternative but because no one looks such serious and brave. Those who look at Kiizza Besigye as an opaque leader, its simple matrix, come with a better strategy and make it work, you won't need to ask us to rally behind you.
He is a father and husband to Winnie Byanyima and two boys: Anselm Kiizza Besigye and Ampa Adam Besigye. Many Ugandans know Byanyima's Anselm Kiizza Besigye because he is a kid who's still in parent's hands but Ampa is somewhat big and not interested in politics at all. He loves his father very much that he chose not to follow him on Twitter or Facebook. He doesn't what to look at what he goes through on hands of Museveni and Kayihura.
That's the Besigye you never knew.
