  • Buganda Relations in 19Th and 20Th Centuries

    Buganda Relations in 19Th and 20Th Centuries

    Bunyoro-Kitara/ Buganda relations in 19th and 20th Centuries. By Henry Ford Miirima Veteran journalist Press Secretary of the Omukama of Bunyoro-Kitara The source of sour relations. In order to understand the relations between Bunyoro-Kitara and Buganda kingdoms in the 19th and 20th centuries, one must first know the origins of the sour relations. The birth of Buganda, after seceeding from Bunyoro-Kitara was the source of hostile relations. This article will show how this sad situation was arrived at. Up to about 1500 Kitara kingdom (today's Bunyoro-Kitara) under Abatembuzi and Abacwezi dynasities was peaceful, intact, with no rebellious princes. When the Abacwezi kings disappeared they left a three-year vacuum on the throne which was filled when four Ababiito princes were traced, and collected from their Luo mother in northern Uganda. They ascended the Kitara throne with their elder, twin brother, Isingoma Mpuuga Rukidi becoming the first Mubiito king. The Babiito dynasity continues today (January 2005) to reign in Bunyoro-Kitara, Buganda, Busoga, Tooro, Kooki, and Ankole. The Abacwezi kings left: behind a structure of local administration based on counties. Muhwahwa(lightweight)county, todays Buganda, was just one of Kitara's counties. In the pages ahead we are going to see that the counties admninistrative strucuture is also the cause of bad relations between. Bunyoro and Buganda. Muhwahwa's small size, hence the need to expand it, as we are about to see in the pages ahead, had a lasting bearing on the relations not only between Bunyoro-Kitara and Buganda, but also between Buganda and the rest of today's Uganda During Abacwezi reign Muhwahwa county under chief Sebwana, was very obedient, and extremely loyal to Bunyoro-Kitara kingdom.

    International Journal of Applied Sociology 2020, 10(1): 1-12 DOI: 10.5923/j.ijas.20201001.01 Ethnic and Cultural Interaction between the Early Migrant Groups in Yimbo of Western Kenya Elekia Osuga1,*, Fredrick Odede2, Samuel Okuro2 1Eldoret University, Kenya 2JOOUST, Kenya Abstract Inter-ethnic relations entail a wide range of interactions by members of diverse tribes in a given geographical space. This work aimed at determining the nature of inter-ethnic interactions among communities in Yimbo of Western Kenya. The study was conducted in Yimbo; Usigu Division within Bondo Sub-County. The study employed The Race Relations Cycle theory that holds that racial or ethnic contacts lead to competition, accommodation and eventual assimilation of cultural or ethnic groups. Purposive and snowball sampling strategies were employed to arrive at the respondents for data collection. Interview guides, Focus Group Discussion guides and archival records were used for data collection. Thematic data analysis assisted in data analysis and finally data interpretation and synthesis were undertaken. The findings of the study pointed out that the history of cultural interaction in Yimbo region goes back to at least the last millennium B.C during which time the Rift Southern Cushitic speakers had spread to Western Kenya and beyond into Northern and Central Tanzania, as well as, into the South Western side of Lake Victoria. Interaction begun from migration times the period of settlement up to the post-independence period. It involved borrowing or exchange of ideas and cultural traits possibly leading to cultural exchange and assimilations through processes of warfare, trade, and intermarriage.

KAKOOZA DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of the Science of Law in Law in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2014 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Jay Kesan, Chair Professor Bob Lawless Professor Anna-Marie Marshall Professor Thomas Ulen ABSTRACT This study addresses a number of pertinent issues concerning Traditional Cultural Expressions [TCEs], specifically in relation to what they are and the dilemma surrounding ownership vis-à-vis custodianship in an environment that is biased towards protection of Intellectual Property Rights. The present inadequate legal recognition and, ultimately, insufficient international recognition and protection of TCEs has orchestrated the misappropriation of such works for the benefit of the entertainment industry and other economic sectors as well. The biggest underlying issue therefore is – whether TCEs should be recognized within the domain of Intellectual Property Rights. The fact that TCEs are considered as part of the public domain raises a key issues as to how they can be protected so as to serve the interests of ethnic communities, States, as well as the users of the TCEs. The claim made in this study is that because of the communal nature of ownership and difficulty in defining TCEs, this has contributed to their abuse by all users. The current origin-based I.P regimes are considered as inadequate in protecting TCEs which are mainly characterized by communal ownership and absence of fixation.

  • The Leaders' Journal

    The Leaders' Journal

    Issue 1, 2019 The Leaders’ Journal Pushing the boundaries of feminist thought leadership in Africa 1 About Leaders’ s the feminist movement makes strides in organizing for women’s liberation, a false di- Achotomy between activism and the development of feminist thought and knowledge re- mains. And yet feminist theory provides the language and lens to express and concisely artic- ulate women’s experiences. Amina Mama writes that Feminist writing and publishing is a key route to conscietization. She believes that unless we link collective organising with coherent feminist consciousness informed by sound theories of gender oppression and change, we easily become subject to an identity politics that will keep us divided. And yet not many plat- forms exist for African feminists, and young non-established ones in particular to contribute to the movement’s growth and strengthening through feminist scholarship. Furthermore, too few opportunities exist for budding writers to be supported in raising the quality of their written work to the level that mainstream and established journals would feature. Akina Mama wa Afrika seeks to radicalise, disrupt and contribute to intellectual activism through the leaders’ journal, a platform for feminists to provide thought leadership and to create home grown repositories of knowledge on gender issues using feminist tools of analysis. The jour- nal looks to build a community of contributors and readers that value intellectual rigour and activism and that understand feminist analysis as both an intellectual and movement building pursuit. Acknowledgements Consulting Editor: Rosebell Kagumire, Editorial Support: Leah Eryenyu Coordinator: Fionah Komusana About us Akina Mama wa Afrika (AMwA) is a feminist Pan-African leadership development organization that was founded in 1985 by a group of visionary African women in the United Kingdom but later relocated to Africa with headquarters in Kampala, Uganda.

Their collective and accumulative ethnobotanical knowledge largely remains unknown and is likely to be just as rich and worth documenting, hence the current study. Non-alienating, dialogic, participatory action research (PAR) and participatory rural appraisal (PRA) approaches involving 100 women and men aged over 30 yrs old were utilized. A set of triangulation approach involving snowball and purposive sampling methods were used to select 100 key respondents. A total of 66 plant species distributed in 31 families were documented with Fabaceae family having the highest number of species (16.67%), followed by Euphorbiacea (9.09%) and Asteraceae (6.06%). The study showed extensive ethnic-based and varied ethnobotanical uses.
