Crisis States Research Centre Exclusionary elite bargains and civil war onset: The case of Uganda Stefan Lindemann Crisis States Research Centre Uganda offers almost unequalled opportunities for the study of civil war1 with no less than fifteen cases since independence in 1962 (see Figure 1) – a number that makes it one of the most conflict-intensive countries on the African continent. The current government of Yoweri Museveni has faced the highest number of armed insurgencies (seven), followed by the Obote II regime (five), the Amin military dictatorship (two) and the Obote I administration (one).2 Strikingly, only 17 out of the 47 post-colonial years have been entirely civil war free. 7 NRA 6 UFM FEDEMO UNFR I FUNA 5 NRA UFM UNRF I FUNA wars 4 UPDA LRA LRA civil HSM ADF ADF of UPA WNBF UNRF II 3 Number FUNA LRA LRA UNRF I UPA WNBF 2 UPDA HSM Battle Kikoosi Maluum/ UNLA LRA LRA 1 of Mengo FRONASA 0 1962 1963 1964 1965 1966 1967 1968 1969 1970 1971 1972 1973 1974 1975 1976 1977 1978 1979 1980 1981 1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 Figure 1: Civil war in Uganda, 1962-2008 Source: Own compilation.

  • Pitfalls of Constitutionalism and Political Transformation in Uganda, 1995-2005
    Africa Development, Vol. XXXIX, No. 2, 2014, pp. 21 – 46 © Council for the Development of Social Science Research in Africa, 2014 (ISSN 0850-3907) Of Fundamental Change and No Change: Pitfalls of Constitutionalism and Political Transformation in Uganda, 1995-2005 Godfrey B. Asiimwe* Abstract With Uganda’s turbulent and traumatic post-independence political experience, the take-over of the National Resistance Movement (NRM) in 1986 ushered in a tide of unprecedented hope for political transformation and constitutionalism. NRM’s ten-point programme, pledge for a ‘fundamental change’, climaxing in the formulation of a new constitution in 1995, encapsulated the state-social contract and hope for the new order. But ten years later, Uganda’ political landscape and power architecture continued to show that political transformation and constitutionalism were still illusory. This article examines political development in Uganda during the first ten years under the new constitution and time of democratic reforms in Africa. The article shows that these years pointed to political reversals epitomised by the preponderance of abuse of human rights, state failures and loss of hope in the war-ravaged north, patrimonialism, autocratic tendencies, and manipulations which were reminiscent of the old dictatorships. The last straw came with the shocking amendment of the embryonic constitution to remove presidential term limits, which were entrenched as a lynch-pin for a smooth transfer of power. This was followed by the military siege of the High Court that crowned the reality that militarism remained the anchor of power in Uganda’s body politic. The independence of the judiciary and legislature remained illusory, as together with the opposition they remained susceptible to bribery, manipulation, intimidation and repression.

  • Freedom of the Press in Uganda 2002-2003
    Freedom of the Press in Uganda 2002-2003 A journalist murdered Jimmy Higenyi , a journalism student at the United Media Consultants and Trainers (UMCAT) school, was fatally shot in the back by police in Kampala on 12 January while covering an opposition demonstration as a course assignment. Overwhelmed by the size of the turnout, the police had opened fire in order to disperse the crowd. Organised by the opposition Ugandan People's Congress (UPC), the march was banned by police under article 269 of the constitution forbidding political activity. It was the first time Higenyi had done field reporting as a journalist. At least three other reporters - Archie Luyimbazi and Andrew Mujema of the television channel WBS and James Akena of the daily New Vision - and several UPC leaders were detained for several hours by police. The police inspector-general, Maj. Gen. Katumba Wamala, announced a few days later that a ranking police officer and two other policemen had been arrested in connection with the death of Higenyi. "The police assume full responsibility," he said at a press conference. Two journalists physically attacked Matthias Mugisha, a photographer with the pro-government newspaper New Vision , was beaten by the commander of the military police, Maj. Dick Bugingo, and his camera was destroyed while he was covering training exercises in Kampala on 30 January 2002. Bugingo also ordered a bodyguard to hit another New Vision journalist, Grace Matsiko, when she objected to the attack on Mugisha. Two journalists arrested Father Giulio Albanese, director of the Italian missionary news agency MISNA , travelled to the northern Kitgum region on 28 August 2002 to interview the LRA rebels about a possible ceasefire with the government.

  • Uganda 2014 Human Rights Report
    UGANDA 2014 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Uganda is a constitutional republic led since 1986 by President Yoweri Museveni of the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) party. Voters re-elected Museveni to a fourth five-year term and returned an NRM majority to the National Assembly in 2011. While the election marked an improvement over previous elections, it was marred by irregularities. Authorities usually maintained effective control over state security forces (SSF). The three most serious human rights problems in the country were a lack of respect for the integrity of the person (including unlawful killings, torture, and other abuse of suspects and detainees); restrictions on civil liberties (including freedoms of assembly, the media, and association); and violence and discrimination against marginalized groups, such as women (including gender-based violence), children (including sexual abuse and ritual killing), persons with disabilities, and the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community. Other human rights problems included harsh prison conditions, arbitrary and politically motivated arrest and detention, incommunicado and lengthy pretrial detention, restrictions on the right to a fair trial, official corruption, mob violence, trafficking in persons, and child labor. Although the government occasionally took steps to punish officials who committed abuses, whether in the security services or elsewhere, impunity was a problem. Section 1. Respect for the Integrity of the Person, Including Freedom from: a. Arbitrary or Unlawful Deprivation of Life There were several reports that the government or its agents committed arbitrary or unlawful killings. According to media reports, the SSF used excessive force, included firing live ammunition during joint security operations, to disperse demonstrators and armed robbers in various districts, including Kampala, Wakiso, Jinja, Sembabule, Entebbe, Tororo, Gulu, Mbale, Arua, Lira, Luweero, and Jinja, resulting in at least 16 deaths.

  • A Television Study on the Influence of Media Ownership on News Content in Uganda: a Comparison of Wavah Broadcasting Services (WBS) and Nation Television (NTV)
    A television study on the influence of media ownership on news content in Uganda: A comparison of Wavah Broadcasting Services (WBS) and Nation Television (NTV) Samuel Kazibwe (215080835) Supervisor: Prof. Ruth Elizabeth Teer-Tomaselli A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Centre for Communication, Media and Society University of KwaZulu-Natal 2018 DECLARATION College of Humanities Declaration – Plagiarism I, Samuel Kazibwe, hereby declare that this thesis is my original work except where otherwise indicated. The thesis has not been submitted for any degree or examination at any other university. It does not contain data, graphs, pictures or other information from any other person or the internet except where it is specifically acknowledged and the sources are detailed both in the text and the reference list. This study was undertaken between March 2015 and November 2017 under the supervision of Prof Ruth Elizabeth Teer-Tomaselli. Signature: ……………………………………… Date: ……………………………… Supervisor: ……………………………………. Date: ……………………………… i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to thank the Almighty God for successfully walking me through this intellectual journey. To paraphrase Barack Obama‘s words during his inaugural address as the 44th president of the United States in January 2009, the journey has been long and the climb has been steep. However, due to God‘s mercy and kindness, I have been able to make it. I wish to express my gratitude to the Norwegian Programme for Capacity Development in Higher Education and Research for Development (NORHED) as well as Uganda Christian University (UCU) for jointly providing the necessary funds for this study. I am very sure that if I had not received this funding it would have taken me much longer to enrol for a PhD especially in a highly regarded institution like the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN).
