 April 11; how bad, how bad!
ext Sunday will be April 11, the 20th anniversary of the ouster of the Idi Amin regime at the hands of a combined forced of the Tanzanian army and Ugandan exile forces grouped under the Uganda National Liberation Front (UNLF).
History, and liberation struggles, began and ended with NRM/A. For all its shortcomings, it was in 1979, and the first half of 1980, that we saw what a truly free Uganda would look like.

The sycophancy of the UPC Parliament to the Obote II government, and that of the NRM's National Resistance Council and recently elected Parliament was inconceivable even in the most idle imagination during the heydays of UNLF.
Thus though the Obote II regime observed "Liberation Day," they turned it into an occasion to glorify only the role of the UPC's armed wing, the Kikoosi Malum.
