Pike, William, Combatants: a Memoir of the Bush War and the Press in Uganda, Independently Published, 2019, 294 Pages 122 Political chronicles of the African Great Lakes Region 2019 Chroniques politiques de l’Afrique des grands lacs 2019 Pike, William, Combatants: A memoir of the bush war and the press in Uganda, Independently Published, 2019, 294 pages Combatants begins with the author’s personal life story. William Pike was born in 1952 in Tanganyika, where his father served as Provincial Commissi- oner. He saved up to tour Afghanistan and studied at the University of York, where he wrote an essay on the Yugoslav Partisans resistance group. Little did he know that he would later get involved with another guerrilla struggle. In London, Pike worked as a writer and journalist, and became a political activist for the Labour Party, returning to independent Tanzania as a freelance journa- list in 1982. It was during his time in Swahili classes in Tanzania that he met Cathy Watson. They were married in Kampala on 3 June 1989. Pike was introduced to Uganda by Ben Matogo while studying at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS). “The School of Oriental and African Studies coffee bar changed my life for it was there that I met Ben Matogo” (p. 17). While in Tanzania, Pike had received a master’s scholarship to study at SOAS. Matogo introduced Pike to other leading Ugandan figures in exile, including Ruhakana Rugunda and Eriya Kategaya. Thus began Pike’s association with the rebel group that would take power in Uganda. Rugunda had invited the Africa Now magazine editor Richard Carver to visit Luwero and the National Resistance Army (NRA).13 The invitation was turned down and William Pike, in search of a big story that would make his name as a jour- nalist, asked for the opportunity to travel and interview the guerrillas. NRA exiles eventually managed to arrange his travel to witness what was happe- ning in Uganda. When the NRA captured power in 1986, Pike was appointed editor-in-chief of the government newspaper the New Vision, a job he held until 2006, when he left for Kenya. Rather than delving into details of each chapter, in this review I will focus on the defining moments in the book, together with an overall view of the contents of the book, a critique and my personal reflections. One interesting feature of Combatants is Pike’s interaction with NRA historical leaders who lived in exile and those in the bush. Eriya Kategaya is described as ever ca- gey, impressive and sparing with words, charming, reserved, good company and animated when discussing politics. Ruhakana Rugunda is the impressive bearded extrovert who was fluent in revolutionary rhetoric; Kirunda Kivejin- ja is wiry, energetic and full of revolutionary rhetoric. Matayo Kyaligonza is remembered as a jovial, chubby-faced fellow; Kale Kayihura is sensitive looking with a diffident manner; Salim Saleh is a man of few words, char- ming, hospitable, smoker of cigarettes and video watcher; Elly Tumwine is the soft spoken and “thin shy man”; Jim Muhwezi is very shrewd, “relaxed 13 The National Resistance Army (NRA) was the guerilla army that brought Museveni to power in 1986. Book reviews | comptes rendus 123 and charming with a toothy grin” (p. 170). Kizza Besigye meanwhile is des- cribed as a stocky young man with a friendly face; David Tinyefuza as tough, ebullient and eloquent, big with a pop-eyed face and a fluent talker; Kahinda Otafiire is a straight talker; Mugisha Muntu is “boyish but ascetic” (p. 174); Noble Mayombo is “charming, ambitious and ultra-loyalist” (p. 265). One reviewer puts it this way: “The book is strewn with such insights into the ideas and disposition of characters who we have come to know differently”.14 My personal view is that this description of political and military elites before they captured power is crucial in understanding present-day dynamics. This characterization is significant because we can compare the views of NRA elites before capturing power and in the current setting. For example, they despised presidents Amin and Obote for promoting nepotism and favou- ritism of the Langi and Acholi. Analysts would today argue that looking at top army officers, for example, similar issues can be traced. What has changed is the shift of regions from northern to western Uganda. The NRA historical lea- ders Pike interacted with also anticipated and shared with the author ideas on how they would govern Uganda once the NRA captured power. Most of these values, such as eliminating corruption, are captured in the NRA’s 10-point programme. Some in Ugandan circles think the NRA could have done better. It is thus not surprising when Bobi Wine, the popstar musician turned oppo- sition politician claims that he will implement the 10-point programme if he assumes power in 2021.15 The author recounts Museveni’s vision of fixing Uganda’s economy, for example by discouraging imports and encouraging ex- ports. Many years later, the president is still bargaining with the Kampala City Traders Association (KACITA) to stop the import of basics that can be produ- ced in Uganda. Museveni also criticized African leaders who stayed too long in power. Pike recounts how Museveni for example pleaded with the former Zambian president not to change the constitution and cling on to power. “[…] when Frederick Chiluba was thinking of changing the constitution to stand for a third term as president in Zambia, Museveni sent him a personal message through Zambian journalist Buchizya Mseteka telling him not to make that mistake” (p. 270). Fast forward to 2019, the Ugandan constitution has been changed twice to remove presidential term and age limits, all in favour of one man. My disappointment in reading Combatants stems mainly from Chapter 11(c). The author talks about Rwandan refugees in the NRA but in my view does not further probe this important part of history, namely the treatment of 14 http://angeloizama.com/combatants-a-memoir-of-the-bush-war-and-the-press-in-uganda- by-william-pike-a- review/, last consulted 3 March 2020. 15 “I will implement Museveni’s 10-Point Programme – Bobi Wine”, Daily Monitor, 15 June 2019. 124 Political chronicles of the African Great Lakes Region 2019 Chroniques politiques de l’Afrique des grands lacs 2019 Rwandan refugees who participated in the NRA war, given that the Rwandese were a key part of the manpower that fought the bush war. In a 1990 interview with Museveni, the author raised the issue of the treatment of Rwandan sol- diers in Uganda but fails to go into details. “I asked him if the invasion was due to a failure of the NRA intelligence or to the NRA turning a blind eye to the plans of the Banyarwanda soldiers in the NRA” (p. 203). Still, the treat- ment of Fred Rwigyema, Paul Kagame and the other Rwandan soldiers in the NRA is insufficiently addressed. The author claims, for example, that Rwigye- ma “became the victim of ethnic politics” (p. 206). He recounts a 1990 army reshuffle when army commander Elly Tumwine was removed and replaced with Mugisha Muntu. “Muntu could not leapfrog Rwigyema yet Rwigyema could not be made Army Commander because he was a Rwandese refugee. Rwigyema was retired and made Deputy Minister of Defence” (p. 206). An interview the author had with Kagame also hints at the issue but without del- ving into details. “In Uganda, you can build a life. Then someone comes and says ‘Go, you are not a Ugandan!’. People have the feeling that being outside has not worked”, Kagame noted (p. 213). In his 2005 book Shake Hands with the Devil, Canadian Gen. Romeo Dallaire narrates a visit he paid to Kagame at Mulindi during the RPF’s armed struggle, setting out what the rebel leader told him about his life and lessons learnt as an NRA combatant. Kagame narrated his own experience living in Ugandan refugee camps, as “[…] always the outsider, the minority, tolerated but never really accepted as an equal”.16 Dallaire, who commanded the UN peacekeeping force UNAMIR in Rwanda before and during the genocide, re- ported that Kagame told him “he was never able to rise to his full potential in the NRA because no one ever forgot he was Rwandan”.17 The issue regarding the treatment of Rwandan soldiers in the NRA is relevant at a time when two former comrades, Museveni and Kagame, are locked in a hostile stalemate over the closed border as well as accusations and counter-allegations of espi- onage and destabilisation. For a keen follower of the ongoing dispute between Rwanda and Uganda, and the charged rhetoric coming from RPF historical leaders such as James Kabarebe, the question of how Rwandan refugees were treated during the NRA struggle and after the capture of Kampala has largely been avoided by those with first-hand accounts from the Luwero Triangle. Pike fails to pick up this crucial issue. Can we say that Pike’s assessment of the NRA struggle is objective? He rubbed shoulders with NRA exiles, whom he admits had a tremendous im- pact on his life. Some in Uganda think he helped galvanize support for the rebel outfit by publicizing to the outside world the rebels’ ideals. The author 16 DALLAIRE, R., Shake hands with the devil: The Failure of Humanity in Rwanda, London, Penguin Random House, 2003, p. 155. 17 Idem.

Abstract Although Yoweri Museveni’s National Resistance Movement (NRM) has dominated Uganda’s political scene for over three decades, the capital Kampala refuses to submit to the NRM’s grip. As opposition activism in the city has become increasingly explosive, the ruling elite has developed a widening range of strategies to try and win urban support and constrain opposition. In this paper, we subject the NRM’s strategies over the decade 2010-2020 to close scrutiny. We explore elite strategies pursued both from the ‘top down’, through legal and administrative manoeuvres and a ramping up of violent coercion, and from the ‘bottom up’, through attempts to build support among urban youth and infiltrate organisations in the urban informal transport sector. Although this evolving suite of strategies and tactics has met with some success in specific places and times, opposition has constantly resurfaced.

The first is located in Uganda’s history, in which social, politi- cal, and religious processes established the basic structures of violence that continue to operate in contemporary Uganda, reinforcing cleavages along regional, ethnic, and reli- gious lines. The second is located in the complex balancing act involved in running a modern African state. After providing some historical background that frames the con- flict, the chapter examines how both the NRM government of Yoweri Museveni and rebel insurgent movements have benefited from insecurity in the country. It argues that the government accrued political dividends while the Lord’s Resistance Army gained personal benefits so long as the conflict continued.

As the political space was formally opened up and state leadership crucially came to depend on electoral appeals for social support, many would- be leaders decided to set themselves apart by contesting for power on the basis of a strong anti-political and anti-party discourse.

  • Uganda People's Congress and National Resistance
    UGANDA PEOPLE'S CONGRESS AND NATIONAL RESISTANCE MOVEMENT By Yoga Adhola The National Resistance Movement (NRM) is a movement to resist UPC or what UPC stands for, i.e. national-democratic liberation. The earliest incidence of this resistance is given to us by none other than the founder of the NRM, Yoweri Museveni. He recounts: We were staunchly anti-Obote. On 22 February 1966, the day he arrested five members of his cabinet, three of us, Martin Mwesigwa, Eriya Kategaya and myself went to see James Kahigiriza, who was the Chief Minister of Ankole, to inquire about the possibility of going into exile to launch an armed struggle. Kahigiriza discouraged us, saying that we should give Obote enough time to fall by his own mistakes. We saw him again a few weeks later and he gave us the example of Nkrumah, who had been overthrown in Ghana by a military coup two days after Obote's abrogation of the Uganda constitution. Kahigiriza advised us that Nkrumah's example showed that all dictators were bound to fall in due course. Inwardly we were not convinced. We knew that dictators had to be actively opposed and that they would not just fall off by themselves like ripe mangoes. Later I went to Gayaza High School with Mwesigwa to contact Grace Ibingira's sister in order to find out whether she knew of any plans afoot to resist Obote's dictatorship. She, however, did not know of any such plan. We came to the conclusion that the old guard had no conception of defending people’s rights and we resolved to strike on our own.

  • The Return to Makerere
    7 My Experience: The Return to Makerere My Long Years at Makerere as Vice Chancellor (1993 – 2004) “We have decided to send you back to Makerere as the next Vice-Chancellor”. These were the words of Minister Amanya Mushega when I met him at a meeting at the International Conference Centre on September 20, 1993; and they are still fresh in my memory. Towards the end of August 1993, I was selected to accompany Mr Eriya Kategaya, who was then First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, on a study visit to Bangladesh. The other members of the delegation were Mr David Pulkol who was then the Deputy Minister of Education and Sports and Johnson Busingye (now deceased) who was at the time the District Education Officer of Bushenyi. The purpose of the visit was to learn about the Grameen Micro-finance and the educational programmes for rural poor communities, which Dr Muhammad Yunus had established in Bangladesh, and to assess the possibility of replicating them in Uganda. On our way back from Dhaka, we had a stop-over at Addis Ababa Airport. The Ethiopian Government officials arranged for Mr David Pulkol and his delegation to wait for the Entebbe flight at the VIP lounge. Mr Kategaya had left us behind in Dhaka for a trip to Europe, so Mr Pulkol was now the leader of our delegation. For some reason, as we waited for our flight, the topic of dismissing senior Government officials over the radio came up. We thought that the practice of doing things in an uncivilised way had ended with Idi Amin, pointing out that the affected officers had a right to know their fate before the public did.

  • Better Together
    Better Together: Inclusive Power Sharing and Mutidimensional Conflicts Chelsea Johnson Ph.D. Candidate, Political Science University of California, Berkeley DRAFT: 12 DECEMBER 2014 PLEASE DO NOT CIRCULATE Abstract: Theories that focus on signaling and commitment credibility, as well as those on institutional design, suggest that all-inclusive power-sharing settlements are more likely to breakdown where the armed oPPosition is fractionalized. In contrast, I argue that inclusivity reduces the capacity for insurgents to defect from their commitments to sharing power. The implementation of any Power-sharing bargain is likely to generate winners and losers within grouPs, contributing to sPlintering, and disgruntled elites are more likely to have access to the resources necessary to return to the battlefield where other active insurgencies have been excluded from the Peace Process. I illustrate this mechanism with an in-depth analysis of two dyadic peace processes in Uganda, both of which resulted in rebel splintering and continued violence. Finally, a cross-national analysis of 238 settlement dyads suPPorts the exPectation that inclusive Power-sharing settlements are significantly more likely to result in conflict termination.
