MOSLEMS RECONCILE, SIGN AN AGREEMENT TO FORM ONE BODY

His Exelence the president of uganda Yoweri Kaguta Museven has this afternoon (Tuesday)  met Moslem leaders from all sects of Old Kampala, Kibuli and Nakasero who called on him at State House, Entebbe to oversee a ceremony where they signed a reconciliation  agreement.

The delegation headed by the Mufti of Uganda, Sheikh Shaban Ramathan Mubajje was at State House to brief the President about an agreement reached between the factions and uniting as one body.

According to Sheikh Mubajje, yesterday they signed a Unity Agreement between Uganda Muslim Supreme Council (UMSC), the Kibuli group and the Nakasero group to unite as one body at a function held at Gaddafi National Mosque in Kampala.

President Museveni commended the Moslem groups for this action and noted that different people have different talents and abilities which are useful only when they come together.

"The eight years I spent fighting Amin, I was actually helped by Moslems like Abbas Kibazo of Kibuli, Zubair Bakali, among others. So uniting with all groups including Moslems helped us win because unity is power," the President emphasized.

Mufti Mubajje thanked the President for sparing time to meet them and commended him for his tireless efforts to unite all Moslems in Uganda that has in the end yielded good results.

"Thank you, Your Excellency for your efforts of uniting all Moslems in Uganda. Thank you also for trying to unite the region and Africa. You have helped us to see that Moslems unite since the time you initiated the Kabwegyere commission,"  Mubajje said.

He revealed the genesis of their conflicts that started when a Moslem property at William Street was sold to local business man, Drake Lubega, until President Museveni intervened and rescued the property back to Moslems.

"First, the disunity was as a result of William Street property. It was in the courts and after, you agreed to pay off Lubega and the property is now helping us. Money from that building is now helping the regions to run some activities," he said.

The Mufti added: "We have sat down on both sides to forge a way of uniting and talking to each other. We now confirm that we have reconciled and that's why we are here all together to inform you of this development."

He said that the Kabwegyere commission recommended a lot of things to implement and they have agreed upon them all together because they now believe in unity and development.

"We signed a document agreeing to unite. We even left Old Kampala together. We are now all together as the Uganda Moslem community," Sheikh Mubajje said.
