Episode 24 - THE SIXTIES

I see the effects of how history has affected Uganda everyday. We have learnt nothing and forgotten nothing. When one goes back in time and looks at Uganda's political history, very little has changed. I believe it's only the names and the dates that seem to have changed. It's the same old story, same old struggles.
One would think that the laws and style of governance post independence would be changed but nope. The current government(s) adopted the colonial model of governance. The persecution black activists recieved then is being doled out by our very own to political opponets today. We are caught in this never ending cycle.
Due to historical tensions, hatred between different communities (tribes) persists even today. It affects how one forms relationships, what job one has, if one can attain upward mobility....
My people we need to understand that no one's going to solve our political problems. If history has taught us anything it's that no one cares about us. If we all understand this, we'll also understand that unity is the answer and we should work towards achieving it. Then and only then shall we be able to build something with a strong foundation.
