This just begs the question: What is it that Obote has written and where is it published?
Hint: The answer requires title, dat, place of publication and name of publisher.
I suspect the answer is, substantially: zilch!

Chief Ssemakula:
I guess we most certainly defer in our intellectual analysis.
Whereas, for me ( and I believe many netters) I would most definitely read
Ibingira's book (Written in simple and plain English as you so eloquently
pointed out) and draw one set of conclusion.
I would most definitely read Obotes writings ( and believe me they are many
if your cared to check them out) just to check on Ibingira's facts (which
apparently was presented in simply plain English) .
That done, I would then draw my own conclusion. This to me is what CONCRETE
ANALYSIS is about!
Now for you, you ONLY want to read Ibingira's BOOK ..and what ever you read
in Ibingira's book you consider it as Gospel Truth!
You also write "The real mystery is that Obote, in spites of having
boat-loads of time on his hands, has not written anything sufficiently detailed to be
worththe time to read." Obote has most definately written. The fact is that
you probably did not care to read him.... after all his writing are not worth
your time!!! Aahe
I guess this is according to Ssemakula's Interlectual Capability!!
Peace

QUOTES for today
� � "Man's dearest possession is life, and since it is given to him to live
but once, he must so live as not to be seared by the shame of a cowardly
and trivial past; so live as to have no torturing regrets for years without
purpose; so live that dying he can say — all my life and all my strength
were given to the finest cause in the world — the liberation of mankind."
-- Fyodor Dostoevsky
