Extractions: History Uganda Table of Contents UGANDA WAS ONE of the lesser-known African countries until the 1970s when Idi Amin Dada rose to the presidency. His bizarre public pronouncementsranging from gratuitous advice for Richard Nixon to his proclaimed intent to raise a monument to Adolf Hitlerfascinated the popular news media. Beneath the facade of buffoonery, however, the darker reality of massacres and disappearances was considered equally newsworthy. Uganda became known as an African horror story, fully identified with its field marshal president. Even a decade after Amin's flight from Uganda in 1979, popular imagination still insisted on linking the country and its exiled former ruler. But Amin's well-publicized excesses at the expense of Uganda and its citizens were not unique, nor were they the earliest assaults on the rule of law. They were foreshadowed by Amin's predecessor, Apolo Milton Obote, who suspended the 1962 constitution and ruled part of Uganda by martial law for five years before a military coup in 1971 brought Amin into power. Amin's bloody regime was followed by an even bloodier one Obote's second term as president during the civil war from 1981 to 1985, when government troops carried out genocidal sweeps of the rural populace in a region that became known as the Luwero Triangle. The dramatic collapse of coherent government under Amin and his plunder of his nation's economy, followed by the even greater failure of the second Obote government in the 1980s, raised the essential question"what went wrong?"
Extractions: Geostrategies in the Great Lakes Conflict and Spatial Designs for Peace Dr. Richard A. Griggs, Independent Projects Trust, Durban (Dr. Griggs is Research Director for Independent Projects Trusta non-governmental organization in Durban, South Africa. Griggs is also coordinator for the Center for World Indigenous Studies Fourth World Atlas Project.) 1. The Structural Conditions of Conflict Structure refers to relatively immobile social, physical, or economic factors that either constrain or facilitate conflict and help shape the geostrategic responses and discursive practices of key actors. Three such factors in the present situation are: (1) irrational political boundaries; (2) land shortages and environmental stress; and (3) ethnically differentiated access to power and wealth. 1.1 Political Boundaries 1.2 Land Shortages Burundi and Rwanda could easily have the highest percentage of disturbed, overpopulated land in Africa. Discounting uninhabitable areas [e.g., 10% of Rwanda's 26,340 square kilometers is National Park], the population density within Rwanda and Burundi exceeds 400 persons per square kilometer. Land scarcity, soil exhaustion, and a limited food supply were problems already noted in pre-colonial times. Colonial policy then intensified this environmental and demographic stress by encouraging large scale coffee and tea plantations. Through various policies of taxation, the German and Belgian administrators destroyed subsistence farming and communal ownership to force most of the rural population into coffee production. Consequent land shortages decreased per capita food production.

Uganda - History And Politics history PreColonial history. A composite of four kingdoms and many tribes, Ugandawas a focal point of European rivalry before being ceded to Britain in http://www.iss.co.za/AF/profiles/Uganda/Politics.html
Extractions: In the 1 500 years before Europeans arrived in the area, the lake region of Africa, with its temperate climate and good soil, was a crossroad for invasions of Bantu agriculturists and Nilotic cattle herders. A fusion of these peoples occurred, and by the 15th century Bunyoro, the first of the great Ugandan kingdoms, had been founded. During the next two centuries its armies brought much of central Uganda under its control. These areas were ruled by governors subordinate to the great king of Bunyoro. In the late 18th century, during a period of conflict, the governor of Buganda declared his independence, and the new kingdom quickly became the major lake state. Two smaller kingdoms, Ankole and Toro, also became independent of Bunyoro. Each of these, with variations, modeled its society and political system on the mother state. Buganda was ruled by a semi-divine king ( kabaka ) who was advised by a council of great nobles ( lukiko Colonial History By 1896 a British protectorate administration had extended its authority over most of the region, and the name Uganda was adopted. Final details concerning the administration of Uganda were settled by a series of agreements in 1966, the most comprehensive of which guaranteed special status to Buganda, including the continuation of its social and political system.
Extractions: Uganda Uganda The Lomé Convention, a trade and aid agreement between the EEC and sixty-six African, Caribbean, and Pacific nations, including forty-five African countries, guaranteed duty-free entry to the EEC for specific commodities from these countries. Uganda has benefited from this agreement and assistance from the European Development Fund, which disbursed aid to member countries. In 1981 Uganda joined the Kagera Basin Organization, which was established by Tanzania, Rwanda, and Burundi in 1977. The organization's major goal was to develop 60,000 square kilometers of the Kagera River Basin, which extended into all four countries. Areas of interest to the organization included transport, agriculture, power, mining, hydroelectricity, and external finance, but by the late 1980s its programs were slowed by funding constraints. Six East African countries established IGADD in 1986. IGADD members included Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, Sudan, and Uganda. The organization's aim was to coordinate and channel funding into key regional programs addressing the issues of drought, desertification, and agricultural development. IGADD received approximately US$70 million in aid in 1987 but by 1989 had not yet completed any of its development and environmental projects. Authoritative information on the Ugandan economy can be found in the Background to the Budget , which is published annually by Uganda's Ministry of Planning and Economic Development.

Emmanuel K. Twesigye, Restoration Of African Kings: Uganda Yoswa you asked very profound questions about the kingdoms of uganda, The regional areas or provinces, finally broke a way to form their own kingdoms, http://www.hartford-hwp.com/archives/35/034.html
Extractions: Sender: owner-ugandanet@BIBLE.ACU.EDU Yoswa you asked very profound questions about the kingdoms of Uganda, and how President Museveni would have handled their restoration if he taken the Uganda history seriously into consideration, particularly the period between 1950-1989. This is the time when Uganda was undergoing mass nationalism, independence movements and self-redefinition as one nation and not four or more nations based on kingdoms and ethnicity. The questions of kingdoms are more vexing in Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Ethiopia, Ghana, and some parts of Nigeria because these areas have had kingdoms which probably go back into the past millennium. The empire of Ethiopia being a contemporary of Egyptian Empire predated the birth Christ. As such, it predated most of the European empire, such as the famous Roman empire and other kingdoms, including the United Kingdom itself, which emerged much later. There is great emotional investiment and attachment to this kind of African history and institution. Yet, Mengistu Mariam Haille carried out a bloody military coup and unceremoniously swept it aside without thought for the preservation of history, culture, art, religion and ceremonies attached to this long established institution. Therefore, it should be restored for Africa's pride and historical reasons, especially now that Mengistu and his murderous regime are now out of power and on trail for these evils.
