Two weeks ago, Museveni told a meeting of what he calls Uganda’s kings and cultural leaders that the NRM government had agreed to move hundreds of Balaalo from Bunyoro to “another area”. The meeting was in Masindi, Bunyoro, We have been informed by a source in the Uganda ministry of lands that the area where Museveni  moving the Balaalo consists of parts of Buwekula county and Singo county in Buganda. And there are plans to arm some of these Balaalo, in case they face resistance from Baganda in these rural areas. Museveni, who is a Mulaalo himself, is bringing the hundreds of Balaalo to Buganda in the belief that although the Banyoro have shown passionate hatred towards them, Baganda leaders are too weak to do anything about it.

It is not yet clear if Katikkiro Walusmbi and his cabinet are fully aware of this latest move by the Uganda dictator. However, it appears clear that Museveni’s iron fist stance and rapid anti-Buganda actions since late October 2009, are aimed to wearing Mmengo down and demoralizing Baganda nationalists. Two months ago Museveni and his NRM  occupation government imposed an information blackout on Baganda by closing CBS FM Radio and starting a censorship program to stop positive news reporting on Kabaka or Buganda by the Uganda media (see “Museveni Switches CBS Radio Off After It Mobilizes Thousands For Kayunga”).

According to our New York based Muganda analyst, Museveni is exposing the Balaalo from Bunyoro to certain future suffering. He told us by email: “Museveni is a sick and tired dictator in the mold Mobutu Sese Seko of Congo and Tito of Yugoslavia.  He will not last another 10 years. Unfortunately for the Balaalo, Indians and other  foreigners who are collaborating with him in the rape of Buganda, when he goes it will be like Yugoslavia, with Baganda seeking justice after more than 20 year of getting conned and abused by these thankless outsiders.  The group that is likely to face the most certain suffering are the Balaalo, Sudanese and other foreigners who have been inserted in rural areas of Buganda.  Who will protect them from the long suffering and angry Baganda villagers after Museveni is gone?”
