We woke up to the shocking news of the gunning down of Lucky Dube, arguably the

You are obviously a man on a mission! You are determined to use every
opportunity to glorify Ibingira's role in Ugandan Affairs and demonise
Obote's contributions, even if it involves bending the truth. Of course
that is entirely your choice. However, it is high time you took

Thanx for forwarding your response to Dr Kigongo's response to the
