Bobi Wine: Why Masaka is Important

Masaka has played a significant role — and paid a heavy price — in Uganda’s political history since it’s establishment as a township in the 1950s. It was a battleground in the 1970s, especially in 1979 when the Tanzanian army bombed to the ground most of its infrastructure as they drove Iddi Amin from power. From September to December 1985, dictator Museveni’s rebels laid siege on and eventually captured Masaka from the UNLA forces, which paved the way for Kampala’s eventual collapse one month later in January 1986.
