Musamize,lets' get back to logic if at all there is such a thing still left
in many of us.
If it is true that Obote is a monster and nefarious as you choose to baptize him
could you logically explain why to this day,he is still alive and well and yet those good
fellas in your lexical definations have long departed this world?
True intellectuals world wide do not go about gleefully quoting the works of what one man
whose ambition got truncated wrote about another except the myriad of quasi severely
dehydrated ones we read from on this fora.
Please try to subject your author's work to a multitude of peer review before using it as the
benchmark of what is.
Soon or later you'll find your discourse relegated to the dustbin of putird analysis where it
is unfortunately veering to.
Thank you
Kipenji

I think the contact's name was Kagata Namiti. The revolution is infamous for eating its children.Some of Kayira's men -- then allied with the NRA, were gunned down by the NRA, in cold blood, just before enrering Kampala.It is said that many officers (and their hapless bodyguards) have been killed in Northern Uganda by elements of the UNLF, and their murders blamed on "Kony".btw:The grape vine has it that toward the end of Obote II, Muwanga (PM) story worked day and night (apparently with or at the same time as Oyite Ojoko) to overthrow Obote. PM's bayekera were somewhere in Mpigi.Unfortunately for PM, the Baganda had long abandoned and disowned him by the time he realized what a monster and nefarious Obote is. Ibingira realized this earlier and after a much briefer association.

It is mid-1999 and a friend from the Chieftaincy of Military Intelligence (CMI) has come to me with a strange document dug up from the archives of army headquarters at Lubiri in the late 1980s.
It is a confession that the Uganda National Liberation Army (UNLA) extracted from Maj. Sam Katabarwa, one of the leading commanders of rebel National Resistance Army (NRA), in early 1985.
According to Katabarwa, he had come to Kampala on a peace mission to meet Vice President and Minister of Defence, Paulo Muwanga through a one Capt. Gata Namiti.
However, Katabarwa confessed, there was no agreement among the leadership of the rebel NRA on seeking a peaceful end to the conflict.
Katabarwa confessed that the late 1984 UNLA offensive in Luweero led by a one Col. Ogole had wrecked havoc on the morale and capacity of the rebel group, and a significant faction within NRA wanted to negotiate a peace.
Ho wever, the possibility of negotiated settlement sparked off an ethnically biased confrontation within the ranks of the NRA, Katabarwa confessed. The Hima and Tutsi officers totally opposed negotiating with Milton Obote's government while the Baganda and Bairu from Ankole favoured peace. The debate was bitter and divisive, Katabarwa told UNLA, but at the end of it, it was agreed that peace be given a chance.
Rebel leader, Museveni seemed to favour the hard line position against negotiations, while at the same time giving a go-ahead to the attempt to establish contact with the Obote government - but only grudgingly, Katabarwa confessed. As leader of the pro-peace argument, Katabarwa was tasked to travel to Kampala where he would contact his former classmate, Namiti, and establish contact with Paul Muwanga, the centre pin of this scheme.
Katabarwa told his tormentors that as he left the bush to come to Kampala, the sufferings of the civilian population that was the majo r victim of the war hang on his head. Katabarwa was later killed; because apparently, someone inside NRA wanted him dead.
The purpose and effect of his death was to foil the peace plan. How?
I was later to learn that Katabarwa was killed through a collusion of some key NRA leaders with Paulo Muwanga. Reason?
The hard line elements within NRA wanted to discredit the argument for peace by projecting it as unworkable.
The only way to do this was to "cause" Muwanga and the UNLA to kill the peace envoy, a factor that would strengthen the case for continued war and weaken the one for a negotiated settlement.
