Buganda Has Been Attacked- Besigye

E-mail

Uganda News - Uganda News

By Giles Muhame

Before the dust raised by the arrest of three Buganda Kingdom officials settles down, the FDC president, Dr. Kizza Besigye has caused another stir in the beleaguered Kingdom.

Besigye told scribes at the Najjanankubi FDC based head office yesterday that the arrest of Mengo’s top officials is a direct attack on the kingdom and reminiscent of what transpired in 1966 when President Obote directed Amin to attack the Lubiri.

M7 might ?kill? Buganda, but it won?t die - not yet

E-mail

Uganda News - Uganda News

Two months ago, a phone discussion and email exchanges I had with the untiring Andrew Mwenda, chief of the newsmagazine The Independent, ended as an article in his magazine (and got the juices of the CID up, as they felt I had “insulted” the President with my choice of words).

In there, I argued that going on to 2011, Museveni had the option of courting anti-Buganda feeling in parts of the country, to find new sources of support for his president-for-life project. Anti-Buganda feelings, surprisingly, remained quite raw in several parts of the country, but Museveni’s regime cleverly stoked them up, by appearing to give the region preferential treatment in his first few years in power.

The Uganda Government is under extreme pressure to release the detainees.

E-mail

Uganda News - Uganda News

Margaret Sekaggya the Director of the Humans Rights Commission has made a presentation to a parliamentary committee stating that they have had access to the detainees and that 2 are in poor health needing immediate access to their doctors and Betty Namboze needs immediate access to her 1 year old child who is still breast feeding.

She further states that the unpredictable and constant movement of the detainees to prisons to the farthest corners of Uganda is deliberate psychological torture and must stop immediately. She says the act parading the detainees in front of so-called rebels in these locations for identification without access to their lawyers is questionable behaviour for a government that claims to have restored the rule of law..
