Wrong right: How Belgium and Catholic church cultivated Tutsi-Hutu ethnic hate that spilled to Congo and Uganda
The Belgian authorities had anticipated this kind of instability and had prepared for it. Governor Harroy had approached a friend of his, Colonel B.E.M Guy Logiest who at the time was an officer with Force Publique in the Congo to help him prepare. And so when the upheaval began, a detachment was sent from Bujumbura on October 24, 1959. Then on November 4, 1959, Colonel Logiest arrived accompanied by Force Publique soldiers as well as Belgian paratroopers.

Why ‘Conscious Ugandans’ are wary of presidents Museveni and Kagame entrenching Tutsi feudalism in East Africa
Paradoxically in the initial period of colonisation, the Catholic church played midwife to Tutsi privileges. However, during the 1950s the church became solid supporter of the Hutus. The volte face of the church began in the late 1930s with the change in the character of the Belgian priests then coming into Rwanda. They were mainly from the region of Belgium called Wallonia.
How English speaking imperialists tapped greenhorn Museveni as a tool for uprooting France from Great Lakes Region
The second aspect of Rwanda, which attracted Museveni’s yellow bus, was the Tutsi question. Ever since the 1959 revolution that ousted the Tutsis from power and sent a sizeable portion of them into exile, the Tutsis have aspired to get back to power and those in exile to go back to Rwanda. There is a strong belief in certain circles that Museveni is himself a Tutsi.
Why Ugandans are suspicious presidents Museveni and Kagame want to create a Tutsi hegemony in Great Lakes Region
In 2012, Museveni and Kagame met members of the Banyarwanda community in Uganda (UMUBANO) at State House in Kampala. They were feuding over leadership with one faction that recognised Donant Kananura while another one recognised Dr Eric Kyamuhangire who also doubles as a senior presidential advisor on culture. The Kananura group was accused of extorting money from Kagame under the guise of assisting Banyarwanda in Uganda. Museveni promised to mediate in resolving the leadership wrangles. On his part, Kagame advised the Banyarwanda not to focus on those small issues of leadership but work for the development of the two countries.
How President Museveni facilitated return of fellow Tutsis to Rwanda after they outlived their welcome to Uganda
By 1991 it is estimated that Banyarwanda in Uganda were 1.3 million out of a total population of 18 million in the country. Of these, 450,000 were Ugandan indigenous Banyarwanda who became Ugandans after Kisoro became part of Uganda in 1918 and 650,000 were the Banyarwanda economic immigrants who came to look for work and a few who came to look for pasture for their cattle between 1926 and 1959 of whom 84,000 were the Banyarwanda Tutsi refugees registered under UNHCR.
After Museveni rose to power in 1986 Banyarwanda ‘refugee cattle’ enjoyed more protection than indigenous Ugandans
During the bush war, Museveni practised preferential treatment for the Banyarwanda fighters. Unlike the Baganda, Bahima and other tribes, the Banyarwanda fighters owed the total loyalty to Museveni. Externally, the Banyarwanda Tutsi political organisation, Rwandese Alliance for National Unit (RANU) banked on the Banyarwanda in the NRA for its future prospects of “liberating Rwanda.”
