Subject: Re: {UAH} We should not allow the disintegration of Uganda
Eric... hats off? No... gloves off! UDU is blackmailing Baganda to jump on
its foreign backed agenda.
Good news is that your cover is blown and your schemes exposed. You are
swimming in sludge boss, hit the shore and clean up your image for what
remains of your sorry life.
UDU exists to deter the Afrikan cause.

There are some people Ugandans and/or others who are working around the
clock to disintegrate Uganda. They believe the current crisis in the country
offers them a golden opportunity to mobilize the disaffected and secede.
They are using the disintegration of former Yugoslavia, secession of
Somaliland and South Sudan to make a strong case for the disintegration of
Uganda. They dont care about the costs involved. For them the end justifies
the means.
The record of secession is a very unhappy one. The southern states of the
United States of America tried to secede but failed after heavy losses in
lives and property. The Eastern region of Nigeria tried to secede but failed
and lost about 2 million people. The Chechenya tried to secede but failed.
Somaliland apparently seceded in 1991 but to my knowledge no government has
recognized it. Yet the Somaliland case is being fronted by some Ugandans as
the most successful example of secession that should be emulated.
The secession of Buganda if it happens will create tremendous problems for
Baganda and non-Baganda alike. There are many non-Baganda Ugandans who were
born and have lived in Buganda since and dont know any other home. Will
they be thrown into the ocean or will they fight for their survival? There
are many Baganda who were born outside Buganda and have lived there since.
What will happen to them? The case of Serbs in all parts of former
Yugoslavia should serve as an example of what might happen to Baganda
outside Buganda.
The City of Greater Kampala will present serious problems especially if the
non-Baganda out number Baganda and a referendum is called to determine the
status of Kampala. We should draw lessons from Kosovo which is of historic
importance to the Serb nation but 90 percent of the population is Albanian
and have demanded independence.
Buganda seceded twice already in 1960 and 1966 but failed to carry it out.
In the latter case the Lukiiko under the influence of three people issued an
ultimatum on May 20, 1966, demanding that the central government quit
Buganda soil before May 30, 1966 in nine days! The central government
interpreted the ultimatum as an act of rebellion to be defeated. What
happened is well known. These are lessons to learn from. We should also
avoid a situation where a few people decide for the majority even if they
represent them in the legislative assembly when it comes to matters of this
magnitude.
There are signs that even if Buganda were to secede, it would not hold the
new independent country together for long. The larger groups or clans would
dominate the smaller ones and those who believe were conquered and colonized
would demand decolonization by military force if necessary. Dividing Buganda
into so many districts since the 1966 political crisis may have undermined
the cohesion of Buganda as a nation.
The case of Chechnya is very instructive. On November 1, 1991, Chechnya and
Ingushetia seceded from the Soviet Union one month before the Union was
annulled and formed one sovereign and independent state. Soon after the
secession, the Chechens and Ingush split. On November 30, 1991 the Ingush
people voted to join the Russian republic.
Buganda should not rule out the possibility that some clans could vote to
rejoin Uganda after Buganda has seceded should they feel they are more
secure as an integral part of Uganda than of independent Buganda.
To avoid this uncertainty, let all Ugandans come together in a national
convention and discuss how we should be governed within the framework of
Uganda. Some Baganda who had accepted the idea of federalism are now
dragging their feet.
Together we can make Uganda a safe, secure, just, prosperous, inclusive and
equitable country for all in the present and future generations.
These are difficult times and we need to discuss delicate matters with cool
minds.
