  Yusuf Lule (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab1.netlab.uky.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Yusuf Kironde Lule (1912 - 1985) was interim president of Uganda between 13 April and 20 June 1979.
As the leader of the Uganda National Liberation Front (UNLF), Lule was installed as President by neighbouring Tanzania who had toppled Idi Amin with help from the UNLF after his failed attempt to annex portions of Tanzania (see Uganda-Tanzania War).
Lule was the first of a swift succession of Ugandan leaders before the eventual return of Milton Obote in 1980.

 UGANDA AFTER AMIN
Yusuf Lule, former principal of Makerere University, became head of the UNLF executive committee.
As an academic rather than a politician, Lule was not regarded as a threat to any of the contending factions.
Lule became president, advised by a temporary parliament, the National Consultative Council (NCC).

Yusuf Lule, an academic whom I had appointed principle of Makerere University in the 1960s was elected chairman of the National Executive Committee (NEC) and therefore the executive head of the front.
President Lule had a problem with the NCC which was dominated by the Gang of Four made up of four university professors – Nabudere, Rugumayo, Yash Tandon and Omwony Ojok.
I asked Muwanga to allow Lule return because Lule who had not been in Ugandan politics was a better candidate to represent DP in the elections for us to defeat than Paul Ssemogerere who had a lot of experience in politics.

Yusuf Lule was a potential DP presidential candidate who wanted to stand but he was in Nairobi.
I met Lule and told to him that if you want DP to elect you, you come and take part in elections because people cannot elect you when you are not there.
I asked Lule that if you fear to come back to be elected, “then why are you crying that DP has left you in the wilderness?” I tried to convince Lule but he was so disappointed that DP had not elected him and after the elections, he joined Museveni to form the NRM.

 17 years ago, Museveni did it to Binaisa
The remarkable thing was that both Lule and Binaisa were not war-lords, in the sense that they didn't have their own armed rebel groups.
Thus since Obote overthrew the constitution in 1966, Lule and Binaisa were the only people to become president without having their own armies.
It was an unprecedented period of press freedom, though one must acknowledge that that was possible partly because the government was too weak to be authoritarian.

Yusuf Lule, Godfrey Binaisa all had their names written in history as leaders of Uganda.
Lule’s eshuffling of ministers and military chiefs was totally misadvised.
“At first, Lule included in his cabinet a convincing spread of ministers from all significant parts of the country, but he then set out to assert his own primacy as president before either his own or his regime’s authority had been effectively established,” Low observed.

So when the first post-Amin president, Prof Yusuf Lule, was removed by a two day debate in the interim legislature after only 68 days in power, Dr Paul Ssemogerere (the same Ssemogerere on the opposition scene today) went to court.
The courts took their sweet time, until, three heads of state later, they gave Ssemogerere the verdict he had asked for — that Lule was wrongfully removed from office, but the case had been overtaken by events.
There was already an "elected" president in office and he could not just call Lule back from his London exile to come and reclaim the presidency.

Yusuf Lule, chair of the UNLA's political arm, formed the new government.
To reduce the army's political role and build a truly national force, he proclaimed his intention to draw military recruits from all ethnic groups in proportion to their population.
In achieving this goal, Lule hoped to authorize increased military recruitment among the Baganda, Uganda's largest ethnic group.

 ugnet_: THE UPC ROLE IN THE REMOVAL (Part four)
It was reported to me by telephone and again later that the Conference was very tense on the matter of the Chairman of the UNLF and that even before names were called for nominations, one could sense that the Conference was divided three ways on the matter.
The first list of Ministers which Yusuf Lule submitted to President Nyerere had names of very, very old people, including names of people who served in the Colonial Government and who, even Lule himself did not know whether they were still alive or not.
The second was that he, the President, was very much pained that his "comrade" Milton Obote was not happy and the third was that he, the President, could not understand why his comrade Milton Obote was regarding Lule and the UNLF as anything other than flies falling on a carcass.

Kisekka assumed a leadership position in the rebel National Resistance Movement (NRM) to replace the movement's influential first chairman, Prof Yusuf Lule, after the latter's death in 1982.
Museveni, who was the head of the military wing of the movement, the National Resistance Army (NRA), was elected chairman when the rebels captured power in January 1986.
There was a feeling among some of Lule's supporters that they had been cheated, that Kisekka should have been made the chairman of the NRM.

Until April 1985, the war was fought exclusively in Buganda, primarily in the Luwero Triangle (named for the area included within the roads between Kampala, Hoima, and Masindi) to oust the UPC government headed by Milton Obote (see The Second Obote Regime: 1981-85, ch.

A provisional government, drawn from a cross-section of exiled groups, was set up, with Dr Yusuf Lule as president.
Two months later Lule was replaced by Godfrey Binaisa who, in turn, was overthrown by the army.
Obote's government was soon under pressure from a range of exiled groups operating outside the country and guerrilla forces inside, and he was only kept in office by the presence of Tanzanian troops.

Furthermore, thousands of people in the north-east part of Uganda starved to death, since the Tanzanian troops could not ensure the safety of UN food relief deliveries, and the Tanzanians were also unable to prevent pro-Amin rebels from Sudan and Zaire from invading and occupying the north-western part of the country.
The first post-conflict president, Professor Lule, claimed that he was overthrown after only 68 days in office because he wanted Tanzanian troops to leave.
When Lule's successor Godfrey Binaisa tried to dismiss the pro-Obote minister Paulo Muwanga from his government in February 1980, Nyerere forced Binaisa to give Muwanga another cabinet post; three months later, Binaisa himself was dismissed for trying to replace yet another Obote supporter.

Yusuf Lule, who served a brief term as president from 1979 to 1980, was also a Muslim.
Though he was not a skillful politician, Lule was nonetheless successful in reducing the social stigma attached to Islam.
In 1989 President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni appealed to Uganda's Muslim community to contribute to the nation's reconstruction, at the same time warning other Ugandans not to discriminate against Muslims.

A political figure head Yusufu Lule was appointed leader and president of Uganda but had very little political or military power.
There was also the feeling within the UNLF that president Yusuf Lule (from Buganda) was in subtle alliance with these forces.
Museveni proved to be an astute politician, and quickly formed an alliance with Buganda resistance groups like the Freedom Fighters of Yusuf Lule and the remnants of Idi Amin's army led by Moses Ali.

April 1979 wurde daraufhin das National Consultative Council (NCC) als Parlament eingesetzt und Lule von der UNLF zum Präsidenten ernannt, da er als Akademiker unter den ansonsten in der Mehrzahl militärisch ausgebildeten Führungspersonen des NCC am ehesten als Kompromiss akzeptiert wurde.

Because the leadership of the NRM consisted predominantly of new and untested political figures who originated primarily from the southern part of the country, these appointments reassured many Ugandans that the NRM did not intend to monopolize high government positions.
Samson Kisekka, a senior associate of former President Yusuf Lule who had joined the NRM when Museveni and Lule merged their movements, became prime minister.
An older Muganda politician and medical doctor, Kisekka held more conservative views than Museveni and thus reassured many Baganda that the NRM would not make too many radical changes.
