But do you see how Ssekanyo became a daily visitor to London? The woman kept
on going to London to poison Mutesa that is why Mutesa had medical problems
to report always to a London hospital. Ssekanyo must have created a whole
whack of air miles. It is also interesting that the exile number one he had
is never talked about, is this because it had nothing to do with AMO?
Just asking

Geez !!!!!!
Kiga Bwoy,
Haven't but hope to read this book as paper or ebook but I know it is all
about blaming Obote for Buganda's past, present and future woes. Both men
are dead, people, and nothing will change or redeem the past. Either we
learn to get along or go our individual ways.
Someone please, send me an eboook version of this book bcos I want to know
how Mutesa could be said to have had financial problems yet could afford to
booze his liver to death.
Oooops! So sorry I stated a booboo.

This book is not only about Sir Edward Mutesa II, the first President of
Uganda, 1963 1963 and Kabaka of Buganda, 1939-1966. It is also about the
story of the Uganda state from 1900 to 1971. After going through this book,
you will understand why Uganda is what it is today.
Using original sources that have not been tapped before, the author weaves a
number of themes into the sad personal story of Ugandas first president in
his last exile, 1966-1969. The first section, chapters 1-5, highlights the
social and political causes of Sir Edward Mutesas exile. The author argues
that the failure of the state to integrate into a viable political community
explains the tears Ugandans have shed since independence. Sir Edward
Mutesas exile and suffering is viewed in this historical context. The
second and third sections, chapters 6-12, not only describe Sir Edward
Mutesas suffering in exile in the UK, but also bring to light an aspect of
British imperial history that is rarely described in historical narratives
of Africa. This is the export of the British social hierarchy into the
colonies. In 1966, Sir Edward Mutesa II was guaranteed entrance into the U.K
and financially supported by his friends who were, mainly, titled members of
the British upper class into whose ranks he was recruited by his education,
socialization and collaboration in governing the Uganda colonial state. For
the British lords and sirs who managed the empire, class trumped race in
their dealings with African or Asian collaborators. A substantial number of
his friends from this classLord Allan Lennox-Boyd, Edward Heath, Lord
Montague, Reginald Maudling, Lord Carrington, Sir Hugh Frazer, Lord Nugent,
Sir Nigel Fisher, Sir Dingle Foot, and othersshowed to Sir Edward Mutesa a
degree of friendship and loyalty that was amazing. These elites considered
him as one of their number and supported him against the official position
of the Labour Government under Harold Wilson. Supported by his titled
friends, Sir Edward Mutesa tried unsuccessfully to obtain financial support
from the British Labour Government.
Section IV, chapters 13-16, focuses on the tortures of exile, recounting
specific moments when the pains of being away from home were really bitter.
Born as a king, and later nominated as president of a gradually failing
state, Sir Edward Mutesa II found himself living like a pauper. But unlike
Shakespeares King Richard II, Sir Edward Mutesa II remained calm and strong
and only had a few moments of breakdown when he visited a hospital.
Section V, chapters 17-23, focuses on the death of Sir Edward Mutesa II and
the politics around the disposal of his body. The author raises a number of
unanswered questions regarding the cause of the Kabakas death and, in an
appendix, produces a copy of the original postmortem report of the dead king
from the London Hospital Medical College. In these chapters, the weaknesses
of post-independence African political regimes are shown. Ugandas leaders
at the time showed amazing parochialism, pettiness and fear of presumed
enemies. Fearing the political shadow of Sir Edward Mutesa II, the UPC
Government desired to influence the way he would be buried. Intensive
diplomatic efforts were undertaken to have Sir Edward buried in Uganda as a
common man. But the Kabakas family decided to have him temporarily buried
in England. After failing to have the body returned, the UPC Government
tried to influence the way Mutesa was buried in the UK. Through rigorous
diplomatic efforts, the Government protested against the representation of
the Queen at the funeral and against giving Mutesa II what it perceived to
be a full military funeral by a British regiment.
The last section VI, chapter 24, is a postscript that asks the fundamental
question of which direction should Bugandaand Ugandatake in order to build
a viable and harmonious integrated political community in what we all call
the pearl of Africa. For the Baganda, the author recommends full integration
and participation in the state and the redesigning of the Buganda monarchy
to fit in with, and match, the changing African political landscape.On the
issue of extreme loyalty to small states within states in competition to
large ones in many African countries, the author believes that the bad
governance of central authorities contributes to sub-nationalism. For him,
good governance enhances the process of state integration and unity. For the
Uganda state, he recommends the building of viable social institutions that
are not transitory like human beings but are able to endure the test of
time. Such institutions, he argues, should guarantee changes of leaders
without the use of violence. Once these institutions are in place, he
concludes, future leaders of Uganda are unlikely to eat the bitter bread of
exile.
This book is a must read for Ugandans of every class, age, ethnicity and
gender. Get a copy from any of the major bookshops in town.

Those are eyes of a really not a sober man.
It is really bad indeed to be reduced to nothing.
