{UAH} RIP MZEE MUKWANO (AMIRALI KARMALI) DEPARTED UGANDAN ASIAN l

Picture: President Idi Amin poses for a family photo with the leaders of the Ugandan Asian community who chose to remain in the country in 1972 as Ugandan citizens. They include the late Mzee Amirali Karmali (aka Mukwano), Hussein Lira (aka Rafiki), Karim Hirji (aka Dembe) and countless others.

In 1972 when British Asians rejected Ugandan citizenship and preferred Britain to Uganda, several of them did the honourable thing and took up Ugandan citizenship as offered by President Amin and remained in the country as Ugandans. They continued doing business, thrived under President Amin and have never left Uganda to this day

As Muzee Mukwano (Amirali Karmali) is being laid to rest today, these facts must be quite disturbing to the fake news media and all those opportunist Asians in the US, Britain, Canada and Australia who are crying endless crocodile tears pretending to be Ugandans yet they summarily rejected the offer of our citizenship in 1972 and preferred to go to Europe and America.

May Mzee Mukwano's soul rest in eternal peace. Compared to those who left, Mukwano was a true Ugandan citizen.
