I know many people outside what used to be called Ankole, before it was fragmented into different districts, cannot tell the difference between Bahima and Bairu (a misnomer surely!) Culturally, physically, socially, in other words, ethnically, Movement propaganda notwithstanding, the two groups of people are very different and do not interact socially except for appearances' sake because the Bairu are superior numerically and the Movement gurus want people to believe that they do not segregate their fellow countrymen.
Just look at the top commanders in the army or key ministers and all the top managers in the country. It is therefore important that Ugandans and the world at large be aware of this.
