{UAH} Am here to stay, I won't hand-over power to any one -Museveni |

Frank Mujabi,

This is the point I was making when i wondered why Bob Wine and Nambooze were still even thinking of elections as means of ending the Rwandan occupation. I hope they disabuse such an idea very quickly. They can hear it here straigt from the horses mouth. kayibanda will never power voluntarily. he has to be forced out, preferably executed in the process. Nothing else will work. You said Bob Wine is figuring out his own custom made methodology, but I still cant see it.

How does power change, in Africa in particular? We have already gone through this when we had a debate with Akim Jags Odong: I outlined the following:

1. Through democratic elections. This is a non-starter in Uganda.

2. Through a military coup. This is a possibilty- with a faction of the NRA overthrowing Kayibanda in a palace, or even bloody coup, by the occupation remaining basically intact.

3. Through a people's revolution, where the people themselves rise up in such numbers and with such determination that the dictator is forced to either hand over power or flee into exile. This has happened in the Philippines, Haiti and more recently in Armenia. This in my view is impossible in Uganda. Ugandans do not have the courage and willingness to sacrifice their lives to the extent that the Filipinos demonstrated for eg. I have written here, when 3 million people surrounded Marcos's palace and would not leave, no matter how many people his soldiers Killed. People would get shot from the sea, ait=r and ground, and would quickly be replaced by others and this millins of people marched to Marcos palace to arrest him. On that day, the Filipinos were determined that if took one million to sacrifice their lives, so be it. But Marcos was going to be arrested or killed that same day. there was no second. They had reached the day of reckoning and there was no postponement. Such a scenario is impossibel in Uganda.

4. Through foreign intervention as hapned in many countries in Africa with rulers being overthrown directly or indirectly. The removal of Idi Amin dada falls into such a category. This also can not happen in Uganda because i do not see any western power that is willing to sacrifice its soldiers to remove Kayibanda from power.

This therefore leaves only ARMED STRUGGLE BY THE PEOPLE  as the ONLY VIABLE METHOD OF KILLING KAYIBANDA AND RESCUING UGANDANS FROM THEIR MISERY.
