Download or read book Uganda s Worst Political Turmoil as Our Beloved Country Uganda Is Under Siege by the Tutsi Rwandese Rebels Who Entered Uganda as Refugees Years Ago written by Mica Kiribedda and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2020-12-01 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about a shocking revelation of a sovereign country- Uganda, which is under abominable siege, by a foreign occupation army from Rwanda, with its diabolic criminal gang, who entered Uganda as refugees, including the so-called General Yoweri Museveni. It was alleged that they fled their country Rwanda escaping the Hutu's heightened political tensions and repressions in the 60s, under J. Habyarimana's regime. By the time Uganda gained its Independence from the British in 1962, it was unthinkable, why the British who were watching the massive Tutsi-Rwanda influx into Uganda yet, they could not stop it, why? But in 1980, the Tutsi-Rwanda ethnic groups had organized themselves and formed their military front -the NRA/RPU-Rwanda Patriotic Unity under Yoweri Museveni, the guerrilla warfare Leader. The NRA/RPU waged guerrilla warfare against the Government forces commanded by General Tito Okello until he was defeated, and so, they seized power by the barrel of the gun in 1986. It was a terrible miscalculated scenario as nobody could dare question the Guerrilla army their legality and mandate to govern the country. It was a hoax. General Museveni's totalitarian, the-ruthless regime, has deliberately destroyed the country to its foundation and sold whatever the national assets available, and looted whatever they could get hold of, yet, they have committed heinous and unspeakable atrocities to the citizens of Uganda. They have committed crimes against humanity, with Museveni's fatality list around a million lives. This book is a whistle blower to the world, that Uganda ceased to be a sovereign country from February 1986, the period General Museveni seized power from Ugandans and the country is under siege since. Finally, Ugandans appeal to the International Community, United Nations, and African Unity and all peace-loving people in the world, to come to the Ugandans'resque as General Museveni's diabolic -the ruthless regime is waiting to crush and slaughter thousands of demonstrators at the country's general election, their only hope to liberate Uganda from the foreign forces of Tutsi-Rwanda' s army of occupation. The International Community's intervention is essential to avert another Rwanda genocide in Uganda.

Book excerpt: This work is a study of Uganda as a nation during the post-colonial era. The author looks at the problems the country faced during its first years of independence including the constitutional crisis following the abolition of the kingdoms; the demand by the Buganda kingdom for federal status and its refusal to accept a unitary state; the ouster of Kabaka Mutesa II from the presidency and his subsequent exile to Britain; the paradoxical nature of the demand by Buganda kingdom for federal status under a unitary state and of having a hereditary ruler, Mutesa, the king of Buganda, serving as president of a country that was not under a monarchy. He also looks at the difficulties in achieving national unity in a country divided by ethno-regional loyalties including kingdoms and other traditional centres of power; the division between Buganda and the rest of the country; the division between the north inhabited by Nilotic ethnic groups and the south that is predominantly Bantu; the role of the military and security forces, dominated by northerners, especially the Langi and the Acholi, in tilting the balance of power in favour of northern leaders; the 1971 military coup in which President Milton Obote was overthrown and which led to the rise of Idi Amin to power; the reign of terror under Amin; the 1980 general elections which led to the return of Obote to the presidency plunging the country into civil war which came to be known as The Bush War; and the rise of Yoweri Museveni to power and his status as the longest-serving president in the country's post-colonial history. The book is intended for members of the general public who want to learn more about the sociopolitical and economic developments as well as other major events which have taken place in Uganda in the post-colonial era. It is also intended for members of the academic community and can be used as a textbook on Uganda and in African studies in general.

The literature covered includes journal articles, books, chapters within edited volumes, conference papers, government publications, audiovisual materials, and theses.

With some exceptions, the bibliography excludes newspaper articles, popular or news magazine articles, fiction, encyclopedias, yearbooks, and other standard handbooks. After personally examining all but fifteen of the entries cited, Jamison has provided descriptive, nonevaluative annotations. Annotations also note such features as length, type of illustrative material, indexes, and notes. The volume also includes author, title, and subject indexes.

Download or read book Obote to Museveni written by Godfrey Mwakikagile and published by New Africa Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work looks at the political transformation and the changes which have taken place in Uganda since the country won independence in October 1962. It is a work of history and political analysis; it is also a comparative study of the governments and regimes the country has had, starting with the democratic dispensation under Prime Minister - later President - Milton Obote that degenerated into authoritarian rule shortly after independence, followed by brutal dictatorship under Idi Amin and the short-lived regimes after his ouster; the return of Obote to the presidency after rigged elections in 1980, a period of conflict including civil war waged by his opponents, especially Yoweri Museveni; the usurpation of power by Museveni in 1986 whose ouster of the short-lived military regime of Tito Okello culminated in the establishment of a "people's government" - "the people are sovereign," Museveni proclaimed on assuming power - but which was essentially authoritarian and quasi-military in nature under his unique political system of no-party democracy; its gradual evolution into a limited form of democracy, including participation of opposition parties in elections years later, although the political landscape continued to be dominated by Museveni's ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) which dictated terms of electoral contests instead of having an independent electoral commission comprising representatives of all political parties and other groups. Among all the East African countries which originally constituted the East African Community (EAC) - Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania - Uganda has had the most turbulent history since independence. The three countries virtually constituted a single community during British colonial rule and after independence when they were linked by economic ties. They had a common market, a common currency, and common services including posts and telecommunications, the East African Airways (EAA), and the East African Railways and Harbours Corporation (EAR&HC) under the auspices of the East African Common Services Organisation (EACSO) based in Kenya's capital Nairobi which became the de-facto capital for the entire region. The EACSO was later transformed into the East African Community (EAC). Arusha, in northern Tanzania, became the capital of the East African Community. Its goals include formation of an East African federation under one government. Uganda emerged from years of civil war, brutal dictatorships including Amin's bloody reign of terror to become one of the most stable and most prosperous countries in the history of post-colonial Africa. Its transformation into a true democracy will be another important milestone not only for the country but for the entire East African region and the whole continent. The book is intended for members of the general public and the academic community. It can be used for regional and development studies and for African studies in general.
