On this one sorry but I am with you. Gook has absolutely no responsibility
demanding from you any explanation about the Luwero inferon, when
Ssabassajja Mutebi that claims to be a King of these people cares very less
about their death. On record, ever since these Baganda got murdered in
Luwero, Ssabassajja Mutebi in Mengo, has never lifted his jaw to mention the
term Luwero and deaths. A man claiming to be a king of these people and they
are dead and he does not address the issue ever. Any chance Ssabassajja
Mutebi was one of the skull openers in Luwero? And just asking here
!!!!!!
And now you are starting on Kateregga for he is Omukopi?
Geez !!!!!!

Paul Lubwama loses his cool whenever one mentions the January 26 National
Resistance Movement celebrations, which were postponed to today. However,
unlike some people whose grouse against the celebrations revolves around
wastage of resources, Lubwamas reasons and concerns are inundated with
gloom, grief and bitter memories of the war.
He rewinds to the events in the 1980s that he never thought would claim all
his six family members. A portrait that was taken on Christmas Eve of 1979
is the only remaining memory of them.
He adds that with the escalation of rebel activities in presentday Luweero
and Wakiso Districts, things started taking another shape on both sides.
Each groupthe government troops and the rebelshad a specific character and
means of persuasion to win over the local population and those who refused
to take sides were viewed as enemies and were threatened, which led to the
killing of many innocent people who wanted an ordinary life but walked a
middle road.
Day time was always for the government troops, while rebels always advanced
in the night. However, as a tactic of war and as days passed, rebels began
camouflaging in government army uniforms, stormed villages and acted anyway
they desired to tarnish the governments image, Lubwama narrates.
On the night of August 10, 1984, a group of men dressed as government
soldiers and speaking in Kiswahili raided their home in Wabusaana village
and took away his father, whom they asked questions he never understood
because he did not speak the language.
In the process, his mother and five siblings escaped into the nearby shrubs,
leaving behind Lubwama, who was then 13, and had been a recruit of the
rebels as a spy on Obotes men. He associated with Obotes soldiers during
the day.
Little did he know that while he was away, Obotes men had made a stopover
at his home and had discussed some matters at length with his father,
according to his elder brother, who died later in the war.
But according to Lubwama, while the government troops had earlier visited
his home, they could not make a return at night because it was not their
practice, which leaves a possibility that his father might have been killed
by the same rebels he worked for.
Luweero Triangle, located to the north of Kampala, was where Yoweri Museveni
led the National Resistance Army, to the bush in 1981, following his defeat
in the 1980 elections, to fight bad governance until 1986, when he assumed
power.
More still, Luweero Triangle is commonly remembered for the brutal killings,
particularly of civilians during the war, which are mostly blamed on Obotes
government. But, little from this war has been chronicled to give a proper
account of the killings that stretched across Kiboga, Nakaseke, Nakasongola,
Mubende, Mityana and Wakiso. What is clear though, greater Luweero remains
in a state of poverty, with unemployed youth, the sons and daughters of
fighters and heroes whose skulls are being eaten away by termites in
memorial graves dug by President Musevenis government after he took over
power.
Those who survived the war by what they call the grace of God, the five
years remain an unforgettable and unforgiveable period.
Who is accountable?
This is the big question whose answer you will not get from either party in
the conflict. The rebels now the government in power, blame the Uganda
Peoples Congress (UPC), who were the government then, and are prompt on
reminding the population in those areas about what Obotes men did to them.
UPC, on the other hand, has also never stopped calling for an investigation
into what happened in Luweero and who was responsible. Yet many who
witnessed the events have since decided to keep quiet, some are patiently
awaiting justice for the looting, mysterious and brutal killings of
civilians, disappearance of many people, use of child soldiersmost of whom
died, the list is endless.
Rebel invasions versus government troops atrocities
John Kasozi (not real names), an elder in one of the villages in Luweero was
also part of the guerilla movement, says the two groups killed people
indifferently in large numbers and used different methods.
