Full Itinerary On this community Kampala tour, you’ll get a look into the difficult lives of East African refugees. At the heart of refugee support is YARID – Young African Refugees Integral Development – an Ugandan NGO focused on education and empowerment in Kampala’s refugee community. Our first stop is at YARID’s newest development program, the Nsambya-YARID centre, a vocational training centre for women. Here, we will learn why women are among the most vulnerable refugees and how YARID is working to support refugee communities through job training, peer counseling, and entrepreneurship workshops. From there, we will continue our walking tour through the streets of Kampala to get a snapshot of local life by visiting the Nakasero markets, Old Taxi Park, Hindu temple as well as the Owino market. Our walk will take us to the main YARID centre – the site of their main development programs in literacy, computer literacy, and microfinance. We will meet with local refugees and hear their personal stories about why they left, what life is like in Uganda, and whether they plan to repatriate. To understand the historical development of Uganda, we will take a van to Lubiri Palace to learn about the formation of the Buganda Kingdom, one of the oldest in Ugandan history. Official residence to the king of Buganda, this majestic colonial palace at the peak of Bulange hill is a prime example of traditional royal architecture. From the King’s parliament, we visit Uganda National Mosque. Formerly known as Gaddafi National Mosque, this 15,000 seat skyscraper mosque was commissioned by Colonel Muammar Gaddafi of Libya as a gift to the Ugandan Muslims. Our Kampala walking tour concludes with a final debriefing on current local issues and a chance to ask your local guide for recommendations of other interesting places to check out in Kampala.

  • How a Leader Turns to Dictator? - Analysis of Kaddafi’S Life-Story Through Leadership Theories
    Dangreau Francois How a leader turns to dictator? - Analysis of Kaddafi’s life-story through leadership theories Author(s): François Dangreau Tutor: Pr. Dr. Philippe Daudi Leadership and Management in Examiner: Pr. Dr. Björn Bjerke International Context Subject: Business Administration Level and semester: Master’s Thesis, Spring 2012 1 “How a leader turns to dictator; Analysis of Kaddafi’s life story through leadership theories” Dangreau Francois Abstract To the pantheon of grotesque and bloodthirsty dictators is now, on the front row, the Colonel Muammar Kaddafi who, for over 40 years, bought the silence of Western democracies with oil from his country and amuse the gallery with his folk outfit, his tents, his very close female guard, his reasoning and his degenerated offspring for a smoky diversion to hide the crimes of his regime. How the world has tolerated all these years, a fool like him who dictated the law to his enslaved people and executed worldwide opponents? Was it not enough to analyze his rambling speeches to understand that it was a Nero in power? Initially, this fictional character, out of "The Autumn of the Patriarch" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, was probably not as crazy. Certainly was perceived in the eyes of the shy Lieutenant interviewed on television after the "White Revolution", a certain arrogance, but we were still far from the image of the future dictator. In 1969, the lieutenant was wearing a simple uniform, without medals, he smiled constantly and dodged most questions put to him, he did nothing of the clown lawless that some years later, terrorized his people and the international community.
