Revolution and violence still problems in Uganda
KAMPALA, Uganda — Many of the fighters who stormed Kampala for Yoweri Museveni two years ago were children — disciplined and honest, symbolizing ideals of the revolution he said would end a quarter-century of violence.
The Associated Press
Now they are in school, and many Ugandans say they might have taken the ideals along because the violence continues.
In 1897, at least four rebel groups challenged President Museveni's soldiers, still called the National Resistance Army, as they were during the revolution. This year began with a rebel greenade attack in Kampala, the capital, which killed a Libyan diplomat.
The boys who marched into Kampala on Jan. 26, 1986, went to study in southeastern Uganda, and Museveni
strengthened his already firm ties with Col. Moammar Gadhafi of Libya.
Relations with the pro-Western government of neighboring Kenya reached an all-time low, and the two countries came close to war.
Radical economic reforms proclaimed in May included a 77-percent currency devaluation as part of a deal with the International Monetary Fund that opened the way for $300 billion to be used to revive an economy dismantled and plundered by a generation of coups, corruption, dictators, terror and war.
Parts of the country that were relatively unscathed have been struck by war.
Poverty has reached the North and East, brought by war, drought and incessant cattle raids by marauding Karimojim tribesmen that the army
cannot control. Other parts of the country, however, had bumper crops of maize and of coffee, which earns 95 percent of Uganda's foreign exchange.
Supporters of Museveni say the revolution may be behind schedule but has not strayed. As one put it: "The struggle to capture power is still going on."
Rebellions mounted since August 1986 by soldiers who served the ousted governments of Idi Amin, Milton Obote and Lt. Gen. Basilio Okello have diverted the government from reconstruction.
Museveni said his government could do a better job economically with more "serious" people helping — a reference to the corrupt civil service, which fears his effort to create an honest government and thwarts him at every opportunity.
