On Federalism & Politics In Uganda.
The political leadership of NRM had a sole intention of liquidation UPC as a political entity. That could only be done through killing all UPC members and their offspring to reach maximum effect.
That could not be achieved � since politics in Uganda is culturally based. Therefore killing off UPC would be killing off a culture and European failed in this endeavour badly in America and Australia with the Indians and aboriginal natives respectively!
Now, Uganda has more than five kingdoms � why should Buganda become the central player and NOT all of them: Busogo, Toro, Ankole, Bakonjo, Bunyoro, Teso, Alur that also embraces the same philosophy?
Toro and Bunyoro kingdoms have very strong flowing only comparable to Buganda.
It is intriguing where facts will suggest that a government that wants and proposed federalism as a system of governance even to CRC will care less, about other like thinking entities and concentrate on one miner institution of four million people.
How should we view Gadafis� support of Toro?
As a strategy BENT on the social � cultural promotion of Toro or a political-military one?
And what about Gafabusa in Ankole who finances his palaces and existence?
NRM is trapped in its an unfinished job � the never materalising revolution and African Liberation. Generating rare unintended events!
For NRM this will go on as long as there are still resources to do so- a sole reason why any right thinking Uganda should not believe in any government propaganda of free and fair political terrain.
Next, African liberation mooted by NRM is based on a very narrow hypothesis and in a very wrong time. Africans liberating themselves from Africans and from what i.e. factional fighting in the Congo, Uganda, Burundi or Rwanda (hutu vs tsuti ) !?
The war in Congo is not over as yet, since there is no homogeneous force holding power i.e. in case of Rwanda and Uganda with RPF and NRM respectively.
Comparison can be made for Mozambique with FRELIMO and Angola MPLA-PT and rebel groups fighting in those countries.
That is the natural trend.
It is not the case in the Congo therefore there is a possibility of war in the not so distance future. Otherwise Burundi or Somalia issue would have been resolved very long time ago.
This can�t be called African liberation since � such wars are not associated with foreign by internal factors and have been going since Africa existed i.e. in case of Uganda with Karamojong, buganda, bunyoro etc.
The question of the Sudan will never be solved by Uganda � here there any equally a large number of dark Africans committed to Islam as well as to Christianity. They will fight for the same and indeed the largest government forces in Southern Sudan are made of dark Africans.
Playing a religious card is a dead end and the government there can�t be directed or driven by Uganda�s African liberation motives and political myopic rhetoricism.
History is can be deleted by revolutions!
NRM alternative is a contradictory structure � covert political organisations i.e. political parties quasi federationism to bifurcate power seeking.
Every revolution collapses sometimes � and Uganda NRM based revolution has collapsed taking with it many innocent souls.
NRM has to re-event its self and that can only be done by hoodwinking and play it nice with federal � regionism.
However, and not to antagonise other hostile forces or that NRM will not look plitically biased has to create alternative forces to counter anti-NRM sentiments by NRM becoming something else affiliated to itself.
How many highly political highly sounding organize have registered apart from those older ones like UPC, DP, CP etc,?
And if there is true political change NRM fought and murder so many people why should DP, Catholics, Baganda and Reform Agenda become actors and factors in Ugandans political drama as if the rest of the nation does not exist?
The question is how could social organisation exist without economic base in a modern society? This really surprise me!!!
My idea of the democractic worker farmers alliance still burns.
