Briefly, Brig. Tadeo Kanyankore is one of great icons from Buhweju, a small forgotten corridor of the popular Bairu. Kanyankore, whose remains can be traced at his home in Nyakaziba-Buhweju West, joined the military before Uganda's independence, opposed the regimes of both Idi Amin and later Obote II governments. He became instrumental in NRA recruitment and mobilization in the Buhweju area. Training activities were reportedly organized around Nsiika, with local communities looking to him as a trusted link between the rebels and the population. His efforts saw Buhweju support NRA/M in the Pre, during and post Bush war. Our grands used to tell us that one day; President Museveni visited Nyakaziba and publicly asked people of Buhweju about whom-would contest against him. People mentioned Kanyankore. Mentioning his name was allegedly the start of his death. Previously, the Late Kanyankore's son (my comrade Tayebwa Kanyankore) contested on some NRM seat in Buhweju! Other rumours came out that he wasn't welcome to the yellow spirits, because he probably wouldn't sing yellow yellow according to choir leaders.
