	Buganda - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Daudi Cwa II was Kabaka from 1897 to 1939.
		Kabaka Freddie, who had been regarded by his subjects as uninterested in their welfare, now refused to cooperate with Cohen's plan for an integrated Buganda.
		The kabaka had to be Protestant, and he was invested in a coronation ceremony modeled on that of British monarchs (who are invested by the Church of England's Archbishop of Canterbury) that took place at the main Protestant church.

	Uganda Celebrates Royal Wedding (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		It was the first wedding of a reigning Kabaka for about half a century, and his loyal subjects of Buganda, the largest of the four kingdoms in Uganda, were abuzz with excitement, not to say relief, because Mutebi has taken his time before tying the knot.
		When the previous kabaka, or king, of Uganda's largest tribe fled the country that fashioned its name from his kingdom, a lumbering colonel named Idi Amin Dada was leading a demolition squad into the royal residence.
		On the rutted clay road outside the compound, King Freddy, as Edward Muteesa II was known, got to his feet, hailed a cab and eventually made his way to England where he died in exile three years later, in 1969.

	Mutesa II of Buganda - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As king he was also leader of the Ganda tribe which dominated Buganda.
		He continued his father's practices of reforming the largely self-governing kingdom into a constitutional monarchy system of government.
		The efforts were both ineffective and unpopular, however, and he was briefly deposed and exiled.

	Buganda - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Organised and ruled by a king called the Kabaka, the Baganda formed the political kernel of the future country, Uganda.

	Uganda - HISTORY
		By the 1860s, Buganda was the destination of ever more caravans, and the kabaka and his chiefs began to dress in cloth called mericani, which was woven in Massachusetts and carried to Zanzibar by American traders.
		When a new young kabaka, Mwanga, attempted to halt the dangerous foreign ideologies that he saw threatening the state, he was deposed by the armed converts in 1888.
		They were critical as well of the young kabaka, Frederick Walugembe Mutesa II (also known as Kabaka Freddie), for his inattention to the needs of his people.

	[Ugnet] KABAKA COMES BACK FROM EXILE. (Photos in Life Mag)
		For young King "Freddie," as his London friends call him, it was a proud moment and sweet revenge for the humiliation back in 1953, when he watched Uganda's British Governor Sir Andrew Cohen touch a button in his office to summon a policeman.
		Then, King Freddie was unceremoniously hustled aboard a plane for exile in London without so much as a chance to change his clothes or say goodbye to his wife.
		King Freddie's sin was that he had dared defy the governor's plans for Uganda, of which Buganda is officially a province.

		Upon Uganda’s independence in 1962, Kabaka Frederick Edward Walugembe Mutesa II (1942-1969) became the first president of the republic of Uganda.
		Kabaka Mutesa II took over from his father, Daudi Chwa II who died in 1942.
		He was fondly called king Freddie although his reign was characterized by disagreements between him and his colonial masters which led to him being exiled twice." Ezau explained.

		King Freddie, known as the Kabaka, had angered Sir Andrew by calling for independence for Buganda, one of Uganda's four ancient kingdoms, and for opposing a federation of East African countries.
		Beadon was due to fly into Entebbe, the Kabaka was arrested for disloyalty and marched to the airport in the suit he was wearing, with no other luggage.
		However, King Freddie's removal by the British Government was so unpopular among Bugandans that he was able to return two years later in 1955 when he took his rightful piace once again as Kabaka of Buganda.

	The Uganda Crisis, 1966
		Fortunately, the Kabaka was able to elude capture and with the help of several loyal supporters was able to escape into exile.
		The Kabaka Yekka (KY) party was hurriedly formed shortly before the elections mainly as a political movement to advance the interests of the Buganda Kingdom in the emerging new nation of Uganda.
		The Kabaka had no army to resist Obote's putsch let alone stage a coup and he fled into exile in Britain where he died in suspicious circumstances three years later.

		Consequent upon that, events moved fast: the army took centre state; the Kabaka led a long trail of people into exile; the economy was "moved to the left"; fears, suspicions and mistrust dominated people's minds and a one party state was declared.
		Kabaka Ronald Muwenda Mutebi's wedding was a mixture of cultural and political competition.
		Before Ssabataka Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II was crowned Kabaka of Buganda in 1993, the Movement government made sure that it denies the kingdom all its historical privileges for fear of losing its strength and popularity to the Mengo establishment.

		They also criticized the young kabaka, Frederick Walugembe Mutesa II (also known as Kabaka Freddie), for his neglect of the needs of his people.
		Obote reached an understanding with Kabaka Freddie and the KY, accepting Buganda's special federal relationship in return for a strategic alliance that could defeat the DP.
		The kabaka was promised the largely ceremonial position of Uganda's head of state, which the Baganda considered of great symbolic importance.This marriage of convenience between the UPC and the KY made inevitable the defeat of the DP interim administration.

	A view on the 1966 Crisis
		In my view, for Uganda to fully heal from the nightmare of the 60s, protagonists must stand straight, confront the bitter 'oput' and take a good sip of it, and where necessary bend the spears into a U. I agree that this discussion may be one of the political stalemates in Uganda.
		Obote's political manoeuvre to legally outsmart the Kabaka's petition by staging an 'illegal' revolution or a constitutional coup is unforgivable by any democratic yardstick.
		Nonetheless, the then Chief Justice dismissed Kabaka's petition on the basis that the petition lost ground in the face of a 'new government' (read revolutionarist regime).

		Obote was accused of fomenting ethnic divisions and of allowing his forces to carry out one tribal massacre after another, charges that he denies vigorously.
		Obote’s Uganda People’s Congress had ruled the country in alliance with the Kabaka Yekka Party, which supported the tribal monarchy of Sir Edward Mutesa, known as King Freddie, of the Buganda people in the south.
		Obote was accused of sending Amin to attack King Freddie’s palace outside Kampala with rifles and grenades, killing scores of people, many of them women and children.

		Well, at least that's the story according to the popular version of history, because some historians say other kingdoms were more advanced.
		Whatever Buganda's glory was, it ended abruptly and brutally in 1966, when the then prime minister, Milton Obote, sent the army in to bomb King Mutebi's father, Kabaka Freddie Mutesa, out of his palace and chase him into exile.
		Kabaka Mutesa, who was also titular head of state at that point, lost that job too.

	IOL: Former Ugandan president Obote dies
		Yet until his death, Obote harboured desires to return home and retained leadership of the UPC, which is part of the country's fractured opposition.
		As executive vice-president under the titular presidency of Baganda monarch Sir Edward Mutesa, better known as "King Freddie," Obote clashed frequently with his partners as he voiced a particularly pro-communist line.
		The coalition unravelled in 1967 when Obote declared himself president a year after unilaterally abrogating the constitution and replacing it with one giving the executive nearly absolute power.

		The UPC-KY alliance was a marriage of convenience that no-one expected to last; Obote's insistence on a referendum on the "lost counties" of Buyaga and Bugangaizi, which Buganda knew it would lose, was a sign of the split to come.
		Obote was furious when he learnt that Muteesa had asked for 'precautionary' British military assistance during his meeting with Hunt – and that the diplomat had not volunteered this information until Obote asked him about it two weeks later.
		Although he 'sorted out' the Buganda problem and Kabaka Muteesa's ambitions with his attack on the Lubiri in March 1966, Obote remained privately resentful towards Hunt and the British government.

		For students of Uganda's history, it conjured up memories of the return in April 1971 of the remains of Buganda's much loved king, Freddie Mutesa.
		Mutesa died in exile in London in 1969.
		Gen Idi Amin who overthrew the Kabaka's tormentor, Milton Obote in a coup in January 21, became a hero - for a few years - in Buganda for his decision to return the Kabaka's remains home.

		During the 1940s Mutesa, called "King Freddie" by the Western press, was essentially controlled by the British resident and his katikkiro (prime minister) and was personally rather unpopular.
		In the "Kabaka crisis" of 1953, when loss of the privileged position of the kingdom of Buganda within the protectorate of Uganda seemed imminent, he took an unyielding stand in meetings with the governor of Uganda so as not to alienate his increasingly suspicious and anti-British subjects.
		His key demands were for separation of Buganda from the rest of Uganda and a promise of independence.

		But this expansion initially met a political and administrative approach to governance that was handled skillfully by the Baganda tribe, after colonization.
		If you look at some of the earliest and most authoritative writings on the time you will see that British leaders like Lord Luger (formally Capt. Luger) and others were thoroughly impressed with the Kabaka (King) of Buganda and the kiganda administration and opted to allow the efficient system to continue without much interference.
		However, that changed when The British commissioner of Uganda in 1900, Sir Harry H. Johnston began to work out arrangements with Bugandan chiefs, whereby they were granted land, jobs in the colonial administration, and a great measure of autonomy in half of the land in Buganda territory in exchange for levying taxes.

		In fact government should pay the Kabaka and his family compensation for Obote having taken over his palace and other institutions in 1966 and using them as army bases and for loss of his assets.
		It is that same money, why people like Kabaka Mutebi managed to go to school in UK and become pipe fitters.
		The problem Muteesa got in UK was a simple fact that he had allot of money at his disposal and we all know what happens if you have money and home sick, drinking becomes a simplest solution.

		The Ugandan army defeated the kabaka's security force, in a battle that killed some 400 people, and King Freddie fled to exile in England.
		Then Obote suspended the constitution, declared Uganda a republic with himself as president, and adopted a new constitution that centralized power under the president and abolished the four tribal monarchies.
		He was thus able to rule as a dictator, but his actions had unwittingly sown the seeds for his own downfall, and they destabilized the country enough to allow all the trouble that occurred in the 1970s and 80s.
