This is a recap of the Dar es Salaam Tanzania LAUNCH of Slow Poison: Idi Amin, Yoweri Museveni and the Making of the Ugandan State by Professor MAHMOOD MAMDANI.


Feature a conversation with the author moderated by JENERALI ULIMWENGU, followed by Q & A :
Both leaders, Mamdani says, were propped by Western powers and turned out to be slow poison to Uganda – with Museveni becoming worse.

On page 233 of the book, Mamdani cites three examples of Amin and Museveni’s “slow poison.”

Mamdani - “And when he brings the body back, he gives a speech at the funeral where he says, ‘We bury here not just the Kabaka, we also bury the kingdoms. Uganda will not will not have kingdoms. Uganda will be a republic.”

Mamdani also credited Amin with introducing radical land reforms inspired by developments in Ethiopia.

“The Ethiopian Revolution had taken place around this time, and he tells the cabinet, ‘We have to learn something from the Ethiopian Revolution. One thing we have to learn is land reform. We have to give the land to the tiller,” Mamdani said.

“Buganda, especially, was that part of the country with miles of land given by the British to the Buganda aristocracy who became landlords. Amin conferred the land to the tenants.”

Mamdani further described Amin’s commission of inquiry into the killing of civilians by soldiers as one of the earliest truth commissions in modern history.

"When Amin came to power, he passed a decree which gave soldiers the right to arrest anybody without a search warrant purely on suspicion,” he said.

“The result was that soldiers indeed began to arrest, but arrest for private greed. The police then came to Amin and said civic peace is disintegrating and there is no way of ensuring the country will remain peaceful.”

According to Mamdani, Idi Amin responded by appointing a commission of inquiry headed by a Pakistani judge who had tried Abu Mayanja under the Obote government.

Dr. Mbuyiseni Ndlozi and Jenerali Twaha Ulimwengu explore the history, meaning and future of Pan-Africanism, and the urgent question of how Africans can reconnect with the history, ideas and possibilities that have shaped the continent.

The conversation examines the idea of “re-membering” Africa — recovering a sense of historical consciousness, identity and collective purpose — while reflecting on the experiences of African youth, the meaning of independence, the relationship between freedom and development, and the continuing impact of colonialism and slavery

JENERALI ULIMWENGU alizaliwa tarehe 4 Aprili 1948 huko Ngara, Mkoa wa Kagera nchini Tanzania. Alisoma shule za Kamachumu, Katoke na Nyakato mkoani Kagera na sekondari mkoani Tabora kuanzia mwaka 1955 hadi 1968 na alikuwa mwanafunzi wa Chuo Kikuu cha Afrika Mashariki wakati huo mwaka 1969 hadi 1972.

Chuo Kikuu, Ulimwengu alikuwa mmoja wa wanafunzi wenye itikadi kali wanaharakati wanaounga mkono sababu zinazoendelea za ukombozi wa Afrika na ukombozi wa binadamu. Baada ya kuacha Chuo Kikuu, akawa mwanachama hai wa chama tawala, kisha TANU (Tanganyika Afican National Union) na baadaye CCM ('Chama cha Mapinduzi') kama maelezo mafupi yafuatayo ya utumishi wake baada ya mwanafunzi:

Mnamo Novemba 1993, Ulimwengu ambaye ni Mwenyekiti wa Habari Corporation, pamoja na wanahabari wengine waliojitolea, walianzisha gazeti la kwanza la kila wiki la Kiswahili linaloitwa Rai, ambalo mara moja lilijizolea umaarufu mkubwa na kuwa gazeti la habari la kuhabarisha, uchunguzi, uchambuzi na bila woga nchini. Mnamo Septemba 1995 na Februari 1998, mradi wao wa uchapishaji ulizindua gazeti la kila siku la Kiswahili, Mtanzania na la Kiingereza la kila siku la Kiafrika mtawalia.

Biashara yao ya uchapishaji pia ilimiliki magazeti mawili ya michezo kufikia wakati huu. Katika haya yote, Jenerali Ulimwengu aliendesha safu binafsi, ambazo zilisomwa na kuthaminiwa sana kwa nafasi zao za uzalendo na maendeleo. Ulimwengu hakuvuta makonde katika kuchukua misimamo ya kukosoa, bali ya kujenga, dhidi ya wanasiasa kwa maslahi ya wanyonge, wasiojiweza na wanaotengwa na nchi, bara na dunia.

Magazeti ya Ulimwengu yamekuwa yakiongoza kwa kuibua baadhi ya maovu katika jamii yetu yakiwemo ya ufisadi na kashfa ndani ya Serikali. Si ajabu, katika harakati za kutafuta na kufichua ukweli na kutumikia maslahi ya nchi yake na bara la Afrika, shughuli za Ulimwengu bila kukwepeka na bila kukusudia zimekuwa zikikanyaga vidole vyake vya nguvu, hivyo kupata hasira za wanasiasa wachache wanaonusurika kwa vitendo vya kifisadi na siasa za upendeleo(nepotism).
