Teso’s Ghosts Stir Again As Uganda’s Succession Battle Heats Up
Several African peoples have a proverb that says: “He who has been bitten by a snake once should run at the sight of a lizard; but he who forgets is swallowed by the python.” It comes to mind because the Teso region of north-eastern Uganda could well be plunged into a catastrophic conflict again, 33 years after the last one ended.
What became known as the Teso insurgency lasted from 1987 to 1993. It was a rebellion against President Yoweri Museveni’s National Resistance Movement (NRM) government by the Uganda People’s Army (UPA), led by Peter Otai, a former Minister of State for Defence in Milton Obote’s second Uganda People’s Congress (UPC) government. Other armed groups later joined in.
Tens of thousands of people were killed. One of the most horrific incidents, which still chills people today, happened on July 11, 1989. Soldiers rounded up about 300 men suspected of being “rebel collaborators”, locked many of them inside a steel railway wagon at Mukura railway station and reportedly lit a fire near it. By the time the wagon was opened, 69 of the unarmed men had suffocated to death.
Human rights organisations reported that up to 350,000 people in Teso, roughly half the sub-region’s population at the time, were forced into camps for internally displaced people (IDPs).
Estimates suggest that about 500,000 head of cattle, the backbone of the region’s economy, were stolen or lost during the conflict.
The insurgency finally ended in 1993, six years after it began, through a mix of military pressure and peace efforts led by the Teso Commission, which was set up in 1990.
Teso was one of the places where the NRM went through its baptism of fire as a governing regime and where its transformation into a security state began. Now, with a proxy fight over the Museveni succession and competition for ground resources in a country bursting at the seams with a fast-growing population, the region could slide back into the hellfire it once knew.
If, in the end, Uganda fails to outrun its bloody past, it will not be because that past was not traumatic enough to learn from.
As Teso, we might not have the power to stop all these PLU people from coming to our land, but we must keep our eyes on our very own Teso leaders who will be at the forefront seeking PLU endorsement in our land.
It is clear that Muhoozi's hatred for Teso runs deep, and hopefully, we the Iteso will not allow this hatred to go unnoticed.
We must remember it and respond through every effort available to us.
