Is Uganda Ready for change?

That’s the million dollar question,and as we close in on the polling dates, it’s evident there is a growing euphoria about power change,wether this will culminate into power change or simply a mere change of guards,me and you can only predict! Since 1986, the NRA/NRM has been in power and has presided over disputed elections with the then biggest opposition figure Dr. Kizza Besigye crying foul every after the election,with a new kid on the block, is the time for change ripe? This and more we shall cross examine later for now,let’s date back and take a closer look into the power dynamics since the take over by NRA in 1986! His Quest and urge for power started when he was a university student in Tanzania at the university of Dar es salaam , here he managed to tussle and smuggle boys into northern Mozambique to train as soldiers. In this he joined several other leaders including mwalimu nyerere who supported him in his latter days to ups Amin’s regime under the FRONASA, and later dispose Obote under the NRA, which upto date forms the beacon of liberational stories as a success, it was a protracted people’s war which was fought and won by the local peasantry population. His ability to galvanize resources was very overwhelming having won a war in less than ten years, this here gave rise to a fundamental change and not simply a change in the guards!
