Tribalism is considered to be a particularly terrible one.
In another continent, in another country, it would be strange that Yoweri Museveni's government should be accused by anyone of being a tribal regime. When you go to the bush to fight a five-year war, and thousands of people are killed in the struggle, just the sheer sense of purpose and mission is supposed to lift your government above its being a rule by your village and district mates. However, this country is all too used to seeing great ideas turn into a shambles. Milton Obote took power in October 1962 as politician who fought for independence from colonialism, but he moved to impose a one-party state, and overthrew the constitution. After the horrors of the Amin years in which over 500,000 Ugandans are believed to have been killed, the weight of history would have prevented us from making the mistakes of the past and descending into anarchy and violence.
