General Yoweri Museveni, son of late Amos Kaguta, is the greatest hero in East Africa, a regional bloc consisting of six sovereign states – Rwanda, Burundi, South Sudan, Uganda, Tanzania and Kenya – this is according to his son Lieutenant General Muhoozi Kainerugaba.
In a message posted on Twitter on 6th Tuesday, 2020 to celebrate Tarehe Sita anniversary, Muhoozi believes that for leading '27 armed men to attack the barracks at Kabamba' on 6th February 1981 and kickstarting a guerrilla war that captured power in 1886, Gen. Museveni became the greatest hero in the region.
In Uganda, Muhoozi ranks his father ahead of people like Dr Milton Obote, Ben Kiwanuka and Sir Edward Mutesa men who were pillars in securing and leading Uganda to independence. We will stick to modern history or else we will be bringing up names like Omukama Kabalega.
In East Africa, 45-year-old Muhoozi believes that the likes of Tanzania's first president Mwalimu Julius Nyerere, Kenya's first president Jomo Kenyata, Daniel Arap Moi, Kenya's longest-serving president and others didn't perform far better heroics to surpass Museveni who has ruled Uganda as president for three decades.
According to Muhoozi, who is highly billed to replace his father as the next president of Uganda, Rwanda's Paul Kagame and South Sudan's late John Garang don't make the cut ahead of Uganda's longest president as the greatest hero in East Africa.
Kagame and Garang who were Museveni's military and political juniors are highly credited for restoring peace in Rwanda after Kagame led RPF ended a genocide that claimed half a million lives in Rwanda while Garang's SPLA fought for cessation and independence of South Sudan from the North.
President Museveni is richly embedded in the history of Uganda right from the 1970s when he adopted a military approach to liberate Uganda beginning with the ousting of President Idi Amin Dada in 1979 and later with the NRA in early 1980 when he waged a war to remove a democratically elected Obote.
He would later become triumph in 1986 and has been the sitting president of Uganda since then. In the three decades, President Museveni has slowly turned from a darling liberator to an oppressor by crudely suffocating political opponents even though he arranges periodical disputed elections.
