	UGANDA BEFORE 1900
		The third type of state to emerge in Uganda was that of Buganda, on the northern shores of Lake Victoria.
		Each new king was identified with the clan of his mother, rather than that of his father.
		Buganda's armies and the royal tax collectors traveled swiftly to all parts of the kingdom along specially constructed roads which crossed streams and swamps by bridges and viaducts.

	Buganda King Blocks Uganda's Forest Giveaway - Science - RedOrbit (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		KAMPALA, April 7 (Xinhua) -- The Kabaka (king) of Buganda, Ronald Mutebi, is petitioning the Constitutional Court in a bid to block the Ugandan government from giving away part of Mabira Forest to the Sugar Corporation of Uganda (SCOUL).
		"The Buganda kingdom cabinet has decided to take this matter to the Constitutional Court to fight for the protection of the environment and all forests in Buganda to save the Kabaka's subjects and their descendants from the adverse effects resulting from the Mabira give-away," Buganda's Information Minister, Medard Lubega Sseggona, announced in a statement.
		The Buganda kingdom also decided to take a petition to Parliament, sensitize the public on the dangers of deforestation and stage a peaceful demonstration to save the forest next week.

		In the absence of official opposition, which is outlawed in Uganda, the Buganda Kingdom or rather the Mengo administration - the seat of the Kingdom - is the unofficial party most feared by the ruling NRM government.
		In many ways, it explains the excitement over claims by a Buganda princess that Kabaka Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II (Kabaka is the official title of the King of Buganda) is not the son of the late King of Buganda, Sir Frederick Muteesa II.
		Many kings of Buganda, such as Kagula, Kikulwe, Mawanda, Junju, Kyabagu and Semakokiro, were killed by their rival brothers or cousins.

	Buganda's Founding
		It is notable that the kings of Buganda never established direct rule over the islands of Ssese like they did with other areas under their dominion, although it was well accepted that the islands formed part of the territory of Buganda.
		That King Buganda did indeed exist is fairly well established and his shrine is known to be at Lunnyo, near Entebbe in Busiro.
		The ease with which Kintu was accepted by all the clan elders, and the elaborate power sharing arrangement that was established after his accession to the throne would appear to support the contention that indeed he was a returning native born prince rather than an unknown foreign born invader.

		A parliamentary investigation demanded by President Frederick Walugembe Mutesa II (also the Kabaka (King) of Buganda, popularly known as King Freddie), put Obote on the defensive; he promoted Amin to general and made him Chief-of-Staff, had five ministers arrested, suspended the 1962 constitution, and declared himself president.
		King Freddie was forced into exile in Britain in 1969, and died the same year.

		Buganda Kingdom’s political archrival, Bunyoro, has said that in order for it to co-operate with Buganda, the latter must return to Bunyoro four counties that it grabbed from it during the colonial era.
		Buganda became a darling of the British colonialists because of its mode of government, which the British said was a replica of the English form of government — with a monarch, a prime minister and a parliament.
		Buganda’s demands seem to have caught Museveni flat-footed at a difficult time when he wants to change the constitution in order to be eligible to stand for another term of office in 2006.

		Under the king, the country was ruled by administrative chiefs arbitrarily appointed, and equally arbitrarily dismissed, by him.
		Whether through personal ambition, or because the clans had to band together, under a common leader, for purposes of defence, the king became known as 'head of all the clan heads'; and, by a number of measures, he gradually established his superiority.
		Just as the mutaka was the personification of all his predecessors and at the same time in communication with their ghosts, so the king was the personification of all his predecessors back to Kintu.

		Suspicious of their intentions, the king lost trust in the new religion, and although he blessed the missionaries’ evangelistic campaigns around the kingdom, he never totally committed himself and, unfortunately, died unbaptized.
		Since such disobedience was quite unheard of in the Buganda Kingdom, the king and his chiefs took it personally, assuming that the boys were deliberately despising the king for being relatively young compared to his late father.
		The king and his advisers were greatly amazed at the courage with which these boys gave away their lives as they unwaveringly sang to their deaths.

		Buganda, probably formed by a defeated claimant to the Bunyoro throne, steadily expanded over the next four centuries, largely at the expense of Bunyoro.
		The earliest confirmed date in Ugandan history is 1680 when a solar eclipse was recorded during the reign of Jjuuko, an early kabaka (king) of Buganda.
		As opposed to the omukama (king) of Bunyoro, who was chosen exclusively from the royal clan and whose chiefs had some independent authority, the kabaka of Buganda could be chosen from any clan.
