With the invention of fire, he was able to cook his food, warm and protect himself, light his cave and make tools out of iron. The original tree-dweller moved down into caves and his pattern of life changed. ..more

River Katonga is found in Uganda crossing Kampala –Masaka road at Mile 49.

This battle started in September, 1985 and ended with the victory of the revolutionary forces in December, 1985. After the historic victory, when the revolutionary forces took power, we created a constellation of medals for outstanding performance, the highest of which is Katonga, given for individual valour and heroism. It is the highest military honour given for service “beyond call of duty”. ..more

History of Uganda
2005-11-26
What is Uganda?
Uganda is a country of 250,000 square kilometres, very fertile and rich in terms of natural resources, with, presently, a population of 28 million people. The population was only 14 million in 1986 when our political movement, the National Resistance Movement (NRM), came into power. The rapid increase in population has been, partly, due to the improved conditions. ..more
President's speech at G8 summit Sea Island/Georgia
2004-06-09
Mr. Chairman,
Africa is a Continent of 11 million square miles and 800 million people. 700 million of them are Black people – the original stock of the human race. Although Africa is the origin of Man and the human beings did not start populating other Continents until 100,000 years ago,[1] the population of Africa remained small. In 1900 the population of Africa was only 110 million. The African population stagnated mainly because of the enemies of Man that also thrive in the ambient climate of Africa – tse-tse flies, mosquitoes and microbes.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
I salute all of you.
My speech at Kololo will be read by H.E. the Vice President, Professor Gilbert Bukenya. I am reading the same speech, at this very moment, in Fort Portal, where I had a long-standing “Meet the People” engagement that we had to push to the Labour Day because of the historic debate and vote in Parliament last Thursday (28.04.05). As many of the National Resistance Movement Members of Parliament as possible had to be in Parliament on Thursday, to ensure that the People’s power is protected against those forces that want to usurp it. ..more

TOKYO INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
2003-09-29
Address to TOKYO INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT (TICAD) III
As you all know, Africa is the cradle of mankind. All human beings (Homo sapien sapien) emanated from Africa. Evidence has now shown that until 100,000 years ago, all human beings were living only in Africa. It is, therefore, tragic and paradoxical that when the out-of Africa human beings came back to that Continent, around the 15th Century, they came as predators – slave traders, colonizers, etc. The last 500 years of interaction between Africans and Europeans, in particular, has not been a happy one. It has not been an equitable one. Africans were also involuntarily involved in a war with Japan in Burma on behalf of European colonizers. ..more

Army Officers on a Company Commanders’ Course, at Junior Staff College, Jinja.
This small booklet, The Movement’s Long Struggle for the Liberation of Uganda, was made out of an address I gave some time back. I was dealing with the sort of subject that you may be interested in; I was talking about the development of human society. How has the human society developed? People do not spend time to know society, and how it developed. They do not know much about this subject – you hear different theories about it. ..more
