Fwd: {UAH} Good Plan for Albertine Graben Region Dear All Just for information. Henry Ford ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: yowaana nyamutale Date: Sun, Oct 19, 2014 at 12:33 PM Subject: Re: {UAH} Good Plan for Albertine Graben Region To: ugandans-at-heart@googlegroups Dan Bwanika The very first act to undertake in order to develop the ALBERTINE REGION is to remove the colonial mentality from Uganda. See how the murderers of two million Ugandans in the 1890-99 war the British and Baganda waged on Bunyoro-Kitara are still today, 2014 being glorified by naming Kampala City streets after them. There are streets named, Henry Colville, Capt. Lugard street, Gerald Portal (Fort Portal), Ternin Street, Major. Macknold Street, Burckley Road, Major Thruston Streeet, etc. Africa laughs at President Museveni when he condemns colonialism when he has the glorification of colonial masters in his capital city, Kampala. Its a shame that Uganda led by people who say they hate colonialism are still honouring colonial murderers who murdered over two million Ugandans, Indeed, Jenniffer Musisi should act quickly and replace these names.
