RSSThe Saddest day in Buganda

I passed by Kasubi tombs last night, and found police rounding up young people. I did not know the fire had escalated. A Radio one presenter had given a hint of the fire, she said fire had broken out at Kasubi tombs, but that the light drizzle had put it off.
It was therefore surprising to find police manhandling people. A beeline of military and police reinforcement were climbing up the road to deter the situation from running out of control.
It can not be this bad. If it is, I better get out of here very quickly. I step on the gas. As I slope down, the Pajero infront of me is zooming, I race after him and join Hoima road.
Police on patrol, others in antitriot gear walking single file. Kasubi Market is calm, but the cars are surprisingly few, maybe guys are watching the Chelsea – Intermilan match, Maybe.
Kampala woke up to the sad news; lost generations of Buganda kings, lost artefacts, lost history. Uganda has above all lost a UNESCO world heritage site and with it a source of revenue from tourists.
The mood is one of disbelief, sombre. How can someone deny the country a revenue source. That is if someone done it. If someone did not do it, what misfortune can befall a people, a country.
My heart goes to all Buganda and Uganda for this irreplaceable loss.

I was scanning something else about this on another blog. Interesting. Your linear perspective on it is diametrically opposed to what I read in the first place. I am still pondering over the opposite points of view, but I’m inclined to a great extent toward yours. And irrespective, that’s what is so super about modern democracy and the marketplace of thoughts online.

Thanks for publishing about this. There’s a lot of important tech info on the internet. You’ve got a lot of that info here on your web site. I’m impressed – I try to keep a couple blogs somewhat on-going, but it’s a struggle sometimes. You’ve done a big job with this one. How do you do it?

I was wondering what is up with that weird gravatar??? I know 5am is early and I’m not looking my best at that hour, but I hope I don’t look like this! I might however make that face if I’m asked to do 100 pushups. lol

Wow!, this was a top quality post. In theory I’d like to write like this too – taking time and real effort to make a good article… but what can I say… I procrastinate a lot and never seem to achieve anything
