{UAH} PHOTO'S: HOW DICTATOR MILTON O'BOAT'E STOLE A BOAT!

Dear Editor,

Uganda's independence President Kabaka Sir Edward Muteesa who was also King of Buganda, owned a luxury Royal yatch for his tours to the Buganda Kingdom islands across Lake Victoria. In 1966, barely four years after the country's independence, Executive Prime Minister Milton Obote orchestrated a coup, overthrew President Muteesa, appointed himself president, and stole the Royal yatch. Obote had ordered the police and military to attack Muteesa's palace claiming that an illegal cache of weapons was hidden somewhere in the vast royal premises, and that the country's security services must go and unearth it. Nothing was ever found. But upon being ordered to search the palace, Major General Idi Amin who was deputy army commander at the time, first leaked information of the Obote order to the sitting president whose family he was close to. Amins mother was a herbalist who had treated the Buganda royal family for decades since Amin's childhood at Nakasero Police barracks where his father worked as a policeman. Thus before the attack on Obotes orders, Amin notified Muteesa that Milton Obote also wanted the King arrested and paraded as Obote's prisoner before the press and the whole country, a deliberate political humiliation of the Buganda King which Amin knew would lead to anarchy, and the mother of all civil unrests in the relatively new Republic of Uganda.

President Muteesa fled to exile through an escape route from the palace which he had secretely agreed to with Amin before the soldiers marched in on Obote's executive orders which as per the military code of conduct, Amin and all the soldiers could not refuse. However, the secret collusion between Amin and Muteesa is information that Obote was never made aware of, even in his grave in Akokokoro today. It is Amin who would narrate to us, his family, what actually transpired on that fateful day.

After Muteesa escaping to exile rather than being humiliated by a "mukopi", Obote then stole the royal yatch and kept it for himself. Five years after the Milton O'boat'e coup, the Ugandan military would kick out the tribalist Obote regime, and Idi Amin, the new military leader, returned the luxury boat to the late Muteesa's son and heir to the Buganda throne, Prince Ronald Mutebi who is today the King of Buganda (pictures from the function where President Idi Amin returned to the young prince the boat that former president Milton Obote stole from the Buganda Kingdom).

However Milton and his henchmen would return to power again in the 1980's after Amin, under a new scam called "liberating Uganda from dictatorship".

What Milton did this time around against the people of Baganda is one of the most heinous mass murders in African history, a brutal ethnic cleansing campaign only surpassed by the Rwanda genocide of 1994 and the Belgian King Leopold II mass massacres in Congo. This harrowing Obote bloodbath happened between 1980-1985 when Idi Amin was already in Saudi Arabia, and is known in Uganda as the Luweero genocide where an estimated 300,000 Baganda lost their lives to Obote's machete's, and the human skeletal remains are to this day a disturbing reminder of how Museveni came to power in 1986.

In stark contrast, no evidence whatsoever has ever been found or produced about similar accusations made by Amnesty International against President Idi Amin, accusations which it turns out were first maliciously orchestrated by a disgruntled boat thief after he was deposed by the Ugandan military in 1971.

Today, if the Royal yatch cannot be found, I urge the Ugandan Ministry of Transport to purchase a new one, and hand it over to the Buganda Kingdom as part of national healing and reconciliation policy effort after the dark Obote chapter against the Buganda Royal family, against the Baganda people in particular, and against the people of Uganda in general.
