Nkhondo iyi yikamba apo ubwezi pakati pa Uganda na Tanzania ukakhira chifukwa chakuti Amin wakawuskapo pulezidenti Milton Obote mu 1971. Mu vyaka vyakulondezgapo, boma la Amin likakhwaskika na nkhaza, masuzgo gha vyachuma, na kukwiya kwa ŵasilikari ŵa Uganda.

Ŵanthu ŵakumanya makora yayi umo nkhondo iyi yikambira, ndipo pali nkhani zakupambana pa nkhani iyi. Mu Okutobala 1978, ŵasilikari ŵa Uganda ŵakamba kuwukira caru ca Tanzania. Paumaliro wa mwezi wenewura, ŵasilikari ŵa ku Uganda ŵakanjira mu caru cawo, ŵakapoka katundu na kukoma ŵanthu. Ŵapharazgi ŵa boma ŵa ku Uganda ŵakapharazga kuti Kagera Salient yatoreka. Pa Novembala 2, Nyerere wakapharazga nkhondo ku Uganda ndipo wakapangiska gulu la Tanzania People's Defence Force (TPDF) kuti liwezgere malo agha. Nyerere wakawovwiraso ŵakugaluka ŵa ku Uganda awo ŵakaŵa ŵakugomezgeka kwa Obote na Yoweri Museveni kuti ŵambe kusuzga boma la Amin. Pamanyuma pakuti Amin wakatondeka kuleka ivyo wakakhumbanga kwa Kagera ndipo wupu wa African Unity (OAU) ukatondeka kususka nkhondo ya Uganda, TPDF yikapoka matawuni gha Masaka na Mbarara kumwera kwa Uganda.

Apo ŵasilikari ŵa TPDF ŵakanozgekeranga kuluta ku Kampala, msumba ukuru wa Uganda, Muammar Gaddafi, mulongozgi wa Libya na mubwezi wa Amin, wakatuma ŵasilikari ŵanandi ku Uganda kuti ŵawovwire ŵasilikari ŵa Uganda. Wupu wakuwona vya wanangwa wa ŵanthu ku Palestina nawo ukatuma ŵasilikari ŵanandi kuti ŵawovwire Amin. Mu Malichi, nkhondo yikuru comene yikacitika apo ŵakugaluka ŵa ku Tanzania na Uganda ŵakathereska ŵasilikari ŵa ku Uganda, Libya, na Palestina ku Lukaya. Kufwa kwa Lukaya kukapangiska kuti ŵasilikari ŵa ku Uganda ŵambe kusweka. Nyerere wakagomezganga kuti ŵakugaluka ŵa ku Uganda ŵakwenera kupika nyengo kuti ŵanozge boma lawo na kunjira mu malo gha Amin. Iyo wakawovwira pa ungano wa ŵakugaluka na ŵakucimbira mu Moshi mu mwezi wenewura, uko gulu la Uganda National Liberation Front (UNLF) likakhazikiskika. Libiya likamalizga kunjilirapo pa nkhondo mu Epulero ndipo ŵasilikari ŵake ŵakafumamo mu caru ici. Pa 10 Epulero, ŵasilikari ŵa TPDF na UNLF ŵakawukira Kampala, ndipo ŵakamupoka zuŵa lakulondezgapo. Amin wakacimbilira ku caru cinyake apo boma la UNLF likakhazikiskikanga. Mu myezi yakulondezgapo, TPDF yikanjira mu Uganda, ndipo yikakumana na ŵanthu ŵanandi yayi. Wakaponoska mphaka ya Uganda na Sudan mu Juni, ndipo nkhondo yikamara.

Nkhondo iyi yikananga comene cuma ca ku Tanzania, ndipo Kagera wakasuzgika comene. Chikaŵaso na masuzgo ghakuru gha vyachuma mu Uganda, ndipo chikapangiska kuti ubendezi na nkhaza za ndyali vifike paheni apo boma la UNLF likayezgayezga kusungilira bata. Nkhondo ya ku Uganda yikamba mu 1980 chifukwa cha kupambana maghanoghano pa nkhani za ndyali kweniso chifukwa chakuti ŵasilikari ŵa ku Uganda ŵakalutilira kukhala mu vigaŵa vya mphaka.

Mu 1971, Colonel Idi Amin wakayamba kuwusa mu charu cha Uganda pamanyuma pakuti ŵasilikari ŵawuskapo pulezidenti Milton Obote. Pulezidenti wa ku Tanzania, Julius Nyerere, wakaŵa paubwezi wakukhora na Obote ndipo wakakhozganga fundo zake za cisosiyali. Amin wakajiŵika kuŵa Pulezidenti wa Uganda ndipo wakawusa caru mu muwuso wa nkhaza. Nyerere wakakana kuzomerezga boma liphya ndipo wakapeleka malo gha chivikiliro kwa Obote na awo ŵakamukhozganga. Apo Amin wakambiska nkhondo ya kuwuskamo ŵalwani ŵake mu Uganda, ŵanthu 30,000 m'paka 50,000 ŵakakomeka. Na kuzomerezgeka kwa Nyerere, ŵanthu aŵa ŵakakhazikiska gulu la ŵasilikari, ndipo ŵakayezga kuti ŵanjire mu Uganda na kuwuskamo Amin mu 1972. Amin wakamususka Nyerere cifukwa ca kovwira na kuvikilira ŵalwani ŵake, ndipo wakawezgera na kuwombera matawuni gha ku mphaka na Tanzania. Nangauli ŵalongozgi ŵake ŵakamuciska kuti wazgore mwakuyana waka, kweni Nyerere wakazomera kuti wapharazgire pamoza na pulezidenti wa Somalia, Siad Barre, ndipo ici cikapangiska kuti palembeke phangano la Mogadishu. Phangano ili likati ŵasilikari ŵa Uganda na Tanzania ŵafumemo mu charu ichi na kuluta ku malo agho ghali pa mtunda wa makilomita 10.

Nangauli vikaŵa nthena, kweni vinthu vikalutilira kwenda makora yayi pakati pa pulezidenti uyu na pulezidenti munyake. Pa nyengo yeneyira, ubwezi pakati pa Tanzania na Kenya ukakhora comene, ndipo mu 1977, wupu wa East African Community ukamara. Uganda nayo wakususka mphaka yake na Tanzania, wakati chigaŵa cha Kagera Salient (makilomita 1,900) pakati pa mphaka na Mlonga wa Kagera (makilomita 29) kumwera, chikwenera kuŵa pasi pa mazaza ghake. Pambere Nkhondo Yakwamba ya Caru Cose yindambe, ŵamazaza ŵa Britain na Germany ndiwo ŵakadumbiskana za mphaka iyi.

 Kuleka Kukhazikika mu Uganda 

Pa nyengo yeneyiyo, Amin wakapharazga "Nkhondo ya vyachuma" mu Uganda umo vikwi na vikwi vya ŵanthu ŵa ku Asia ŵakachimbizgika mu charu mu 1972 ndipo malonda ghawo ghakaŵikika mu mawoko gha Ŵafrika. Ndondomeko iyi yikananga comene vinthu pa nkhani ya vya cuma, ndipo yikasazgikira cifukwa cakuti boma la United States likakanizga ŵanthu kumwa khofi wa ku Uganda. Pa nyengo yeneyiyo pera, Amin wakasazgirako nkhongono za ŵasilikari mu boma lake, wakaŵika ŵasilikari ŵanandi mu nduna zake na kovwira awo ŵakaŵa ŵakugomezgeka kwa iyo. Ŵanandi awo ŵakasanganga chandulo na ivyo wakachitanga ŵakaŵa Ŵasilamu ŵa kumpoto, comenecomene ŵa ku Nubian na Sudan. Amin wakathereska ŵanthu ŵa mafuko gha kumwera mu ŵasilikari na kukoma ŵalwani ŵake. Mu vyaka vyakulondezgapo, wakapona ku ŵanthu ŵanandi awo ŵakakhumbanga kumukoma, ntheura wakaleka kugomezga ŵanthu ndipo kanandi waka wakawuskanga ŵasilikari ŵa ku Uganda.

Mu 1977, mu gulu la ŵasilikari ŵa Uganda mukaŵa kugaŵikana pakati pa ŵanthu awo ŵakakolerananga na Amin na ŵasilikari awo ŵakaŵa ŵakugomezgeka kwa Mubali Mustafa Adrisi, uyo wakaŵa na mazaza mu boma. Mu Epulero 1978, Adrisi wakapwetekeka comene pa ngozi ya galimoto. Apo ŵakamufumiskanga mu caru kuti wakacizgike, Amin wakamuwuskamo udindo wake. Kweniso wakapharazga kuti ŵapolisi ŵanandi ŵakakakika, ndipo mu mwezi wakulondezgapo wakalekeska mauteŵeti gha ŵalara ŵa boma na ŵasilikari. Kuzgoka uku kukasuzga nkhongono za Amin mu ŵasilikari izo zikaŵa zakukhora comene cifukwa ca suzgo la vya cuma. Pakopa kuti wangafwa ndipo wakaleka kugomezga kuti wangamazga suzgo ili, Amin wakafumapo pa wumba ndipo wakachezganga viŵi yayi na ŵasilikari ŵake. Pa nyengo yeneyira, wakamba kususka Tanzania kuti wakuswa mphaka ya Uganda.

 Umo Nkhondo Yikendera 

 Nkhondo yikamba 

Nkhondo yikamba pakati pa Uganda na Tanzania mu Okutobala 1978, ndipo ŵanthu ŵa ku Uganda ŵakamba kuwukira charu ichi. Ŵanthu ŵakumanya makora yayi umo nkhondo iyi yikambira, ndipo pali nkhani zinandi zakupambana pa nkhani iyi. Obote wakalemba kuti ivyo wakacita pakunjira mu Kagera "nkhumanya kuti wafumiskenge Amin ku masuzgo agho ghaŵapo cifukwa ca ivyo wakakhumbanga kucita na ŵasilikari ŵake". Ŵasilikari ŵanandi ŵa Uganda ŵakasuska Mulara wa ŵasilikari Juma Butabika kuti ndiyo wakambiska nkhondo iyi, kusazgapo Mulara Abdu Kisuule, uyo wakamususka Butabika kuti wakapangiska ngozi pa mphaka kuti waŵe na mwaŵi wa kuwukira Tanzania. Kuyana na mwana wa Amin, Jaffar Remo, mphekesera za kuthekera kwa nkhondo ya ku Tanzania zikapangiska kuti ŵasilikari ŵa ku Uganda ŵapemphe kuti ŵambe kuwukira Tanzania. Ŵasilikari ŵa ku Tanzania ŵakayowoya kuti Amin wakakhumbanga kutora chigaŵa chikuru cha kumpoto kwa Tanzania, kusazgapo msumba wa Tanga, kuti waŵe na mwaŵi wa kwenda pa nyanja. Mutolamakani wa ku Uganda Faustin Mugabe wakasanga ukaboni uliwose yayi wa fundo iyi mu mabuku gha ku Uganda.

Ŵalaraŵalara ŵanyake ŵa boma la Uganda ŵayowoya kuti nkhondo iyi yikacitika cifukwa ca nkhondo za pa mphaka. Vinyake mwa vinthu ivyo vingapangiska nkhondo iyi ni kwiba ng'ombe, kutinkhana pakati pa mafuko, mbembe pakati pa mwanakazi wa ku Uganda na mwanakazi wa ku Tanzania pa msika, kweniso mbembe pakati pa msilikari wa ku Uganda na msilikari wa ku Tanzania panji ŵanthu ŵanyake. Ŵasilikari ŵanandi ŵa ku Uganda awo ŵakakolerana na fundo yakuti ŵanthu ŵakakumananga ku malo ghakusanguluskira ŵakakolerana yayi na umo vinthu vikaŵira, kweni ŵakakolerana kuti ivyo vikachitika vikachitika pa Okutobala 9 mu malo gha ku Tanzania. Iwo ŵakakolerana kuti Butabika wakati waphalirika za suzgo ili, wakalangura gulu lake, lakuti Suicide Battalion, kuti liwukire Tanzania. Ŵasilikari aŵa ŵakati Amin wakaphalirika yayi ivyo ŵakadumura ndipo ŵakakolerana navyo kuti ŵaleke kumususka. Mulara munyake wa ku Uganda, Bernard Rwehururu, wakati Butabika wakateta kwa Amin pa vifukwa ivyo wakawukira Kagera. Kuyana na nyuzipepara za ku America Tony Avirgan na Martha Honey, chiphikiro ichi chikachitika pa 22 Okutobala, apo msilikari wa ku Uganda uyo wakaloŵera wakafwa na futi. Pa mise yeneyira, wayilesi ya Radio Uganda yikapharazga kuti ŵanthu ŵa ku Tanzania ŵakakora msilikari wa ku Uganda, ndipo yikati Amin wakawofya kuti wachitengepo kanthu usange ŵandamuwezgere.

Ŵanthu ŵanyake ŵakuti ŵasilikari ŵa Uganda ndiwo ŵakanjilira mu charu ichi chifukwa cha kuskera ŵanthu awo ŵakagalukira boma la Tanzania. Pali mitundu yakupambanapambana ya nkhani iyi, iyo yikayowoyeka na ŵanthu ŵanyake.

Ŵanyake ŵakuti ŵanthu ŵa mu gulu la Chui panji la ŵanthu ŵakujiparanya ndiwo ŵakambiska vivulupi. Nkhwantha ya vya ndyali, Okon Eminue, yikati ŵanthu pafupifupi 200 awo ŵakagaluka ŵakachimbilira ku Kagera. Kuyana na nkhani iyi, Amin wakalangura gulu la Simba Battalion na la Suicide Battalion kuti ŵalondezge ŵanthu awo ŵakagaluka. Msilikari wa ku Uganda uyo Drum wakamufumba wakati ivyo vikacitika pakwamba vikaŵa nkhondo ya ŵanthu ŵatatu pakati pa ŵasilikari ŵa Uganda, ŵanthu awo ŵakafumako ku boma la Uganda, na ŵalinda ŵa ku Tanzania. Ŵanthu ŵanyake awo ŵakapona ŵakasamira ku mizi ya ku Tanzania. Ŵasayansi Andrew Mambo na Julian Schofield ŵakasuska fundo iyi, ŵakati ŵasilikari awo ŵakatenge ŵakagaluka ŵakalutilira kugomezgeka kwa Amin mu nyengo yose ya nkhondo.

Gulu la Tanzania People's Defence Force (TPDF) likapokera waka mauthenga ghachoko waka ghakukhwaskana na umo charu cha Uganda chingawukira charu ichi, ndipo ŵakanozgekera yayi, chifukwa ŵalongozgi ŵa Tanzania ŵakagomezganga kuti Amin wangaghanaghanapo yayi za kuwukira Tanzania apo charu chake chikakhwaskika na vinthu vya ndyali, vyachuma, na vya nkhondo.

 Ivyo Ŵanthu Ŵakuyowoya 
Pambuyo pa malipoti oyambirira a chiwopsezo cha pa 30 Okutobala kufika ku Dar es Salaam, Nyerere adachita msonkhano ndi alangizi ake ndi atsogoleri a TPDF kunyumba yake ya m'mphepete mwa nyanja.

 Tanzanian counter-attack 

Nyerere wakalangura Tanzania kuti waŵikengepo nkhongono zake zose pa nkhondo. Pa nyengo iyi, TPDF yikaŵa na mabrigadi ghanayi. Pakati pa ŵasilikari aŵa, ni gulu la ŵasilikari ŵa ku Southern Brigade pera ilo likaŵa kuti lacita makora comene nkhondo. Gulu ili likaŵa ku Songea, kutali na Kagera kuluska magulu ghanyake. Ŵakati ŵenda ulendo utali pa njanji na msewu, ŵakiza ku Bukoba-Kyaka ndipo ŵakazenga msasa. Ŵasilikari ŵanyake ŵakatumika kufuma ku Tabora. Mulara wa boma Edward Sokoine wakaphalira ŵalara ŵa boma la Tanzania kuti ŵatumizge ŵasilikari na ŵanthu wose ku nkhondo. Mu masabata ghacoko waka, ŵasilikari ŵa ku Tanzania ŵakasazgikira kufuma pa ŵasilikari ŵambura kukwana 40,000 kufika pa ŵasilikari ŵakujumpha 150,000, kusazgapo ŵasilikari pafupifupi 40,000 kweniso ŵapolisi, ŵakayidi, na ŵantchito ŵa boma.

Ŵasilikari ŵa ku Uganda ŵakakhuŵara comene apo ŵa ku Tanzania ŵakaŵafumiskanga mu Kagera na kuŵawukira mumphepete mwa mphaka. Ŵanthu ŵa ku Tanzania ŵakati ŵathereskeka, ŵakafipanga mtima kuti ŵasilikari ŵa ku Uganda ŵayezgeso kupoka caru cawo. Ŵalongozgi ŵa ku Tanzania ŵakawona kuti usange ŵasilikari ŵa ku Uganda ŵakulongozga malo ghatali gha ku Mutukula, ku Uganda, ŵakwambiska suzgo. Nyerere wakazomera ndipo wakaphalira ŵasilikari ŵake kuti ŵapoke msumba uwu. Apo ŵakanozgekeranga mulimo uwu, TPDF ŵakatangwanika na kusambizga na kunozga ŵasilikari ŵawo. Ntheura, nkhondo izo zikacitika mu Disembala 1978 zikaŵa za "nkhondo ya mu miphaka" pera, ndipo nyengo zinyake ŵanthu ŵakakumananga na kuwukira ŵasilikari. Pa nyengo iyi, ŵasilikari ŵa Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) ŵakateŵeteranga lumoza na ŵanthu ŵa ku Uganda. Gulu la PLO likaŵa mubwezi wa boma la Amin kwa vyaka vinandi, ndipo ŵasilikari ŵa Palestina pafupifupi 400 ŵakasambizgika mu Uganda. Ŵasilikari aŵa ŵakatumika ku mphaka kuti ŵakawovwire ŵasilikari ŵa Uganda, cifukwa PLO yikawonanga kuti nkhondo na Tanzania yikaŵa pangozi kwa iwo. Magazini ya Africa yikati "ŵanthu ŵakumanya vinandi" ŵakayowoya kuti "ŵantchito ŵa ku Pakistan na ŵasilikari ŵa nkhondo" ŵakakhozganga ŵasilikari ŵa Amin.

Gulu la nkhondo la Uganda likazizwa apo TPDF yikamba kuwukira mu mphepete mwa mphaka mwakugwiliskira nchito vyakuponya mabomba vya BM-21 Grad pa Disembala 25. Ŵa Ugandan ŵakaŵavya vilwero ivyo vingaŵawovwira kuti ŵarwe nkhondo na ŵasilikari ŵa ku Tanzania. Ŵanthu ŵa ku Uganda ŵakaŵa na wofi comene cifukwa cakuti pakwamba ŵakatondeka kumanya ico cikaŵa munkhondo uwu. Gulu la TPDF likaponya mabomba pa mphaka kwa masabata ghanandi, na kusuzga ŵanthu ŵa ku Uganda. Ŵasilikari ŵa Uganda ŵakayezga kuti ŵaparanyenge mabomba gha ku Tanzania kweni ŵakatondeka.

Pakaŵaso ŵanthu awo ŵakatenge ŵasilikari ŵa ZANLA ŵakurwa pamoza na TPDF. Boma la Tanzania nalo likapempha China kuti liŵawovwire vya nkhondo. Ŵabali aŵa ŵakakhumbanga kuti ŵaleke kunjilirapo pa nkhondo iyi. Nangauli ŵa ku China ŵakaphalira ŵanthu kuti ŵadumbiskane, kweni ŵakatumizga vilwero vinandi ndipo ŵakawovwira kuti vinthu vinyake ivyo ŵakapempha vifike luŵiro. Ufumu wa United Kingdom nawo ukakhumba yayi kunjilirapo pa nkhondo iyi, kweni ukagwiranga lumoza nchito na ŵanthu ŵa ku Tanzania kuti uŵape mwaluŵiro vinthu vya nkhondo ivyo ŵakagura.

Kweniso Obote wakaŵa na cigomezgo (ndipo Nyerere nayo wakaŵa na cigomezgo) kuti ŵasilikari ŵa ku Uganda ŵazamubwanganduka usange Masaka wangakoleka. Ŵasilikari ŵa ku Tanzania ŵakamba kunozgekera makora nkhondo ya kuzenga matawuni ghaŵiri agha. Muwuso wa ŵasilikari ŵa TPDF ukati wawona kuti ŵasilikari ŵa TPDF ŵafumako ku Uganda, ŵakakwiya chomene.

Ŵasilikari ŵa ku Tanzania ŵakamba kuwukira mu Febuluwale. Ŵakafika pafupi, ŵakakoma ŵasilikari ŵanandi ŵa ku Uganda, ŵakaparanya katundu wawo, ndipo ŵakakora malo ghakukwelera ndege pa Febuluwale 13. Pa nyengo yeneyiyo, Amin wakati ŵasilikari ŵa ku Tanzania na ŵasilikari awo ŵakugwira ntchito na malupanga ŵatorapo chigaŵa chikuru cha Uganda. Pakuŵa na mafumbo kufuma ku wupu wa vyaru vyakupambanapambana, Tanzania yikati ŵasilikari ŵake ŵakasunga waka malo agho ghali kufupi na mphaka ya Uganda. Ŵapolisi ŵa ku Tanzania ŵakawerezgapo mazgu gha Nyerere ghakuti "Tanzania yikukhumba yayi malo gha ku Uganda" kweni ŵakakana kufumba mafumbo ghakukhwaskana na umo ŵasilikari ŵawo ŵakwendeskera. Apo ŵasilikari ŵa ku Tanzania ŵakalutanga ku Masaka ŵakalutanga panthazi mwaluŵiro, gulu la TPDF la 206th Brigade likakumana na ŵanthu ŵakususka apo likalutanga ku Mbarara.

Nangauli wakawona kuti pamanyuma pakuti Libya wanjilirapo pa Lukaya nchambura machitiko kuti ŵakugaluka ŵa ku Uganda ŵatorenge Kampala ŵekha, kweni wakagomezga kuti nchakuzirwa comene kuti ŵaŵe na nyengo yakuŵikapo boma lawo kuti ŵatore malo gha Amin. Ŵalaraŵalara ŵa boma la Tanzania ŵakamba kunozgekera boma liphya nga umo ŵakacitira ŵakugaluka ŵa ku Uganda, awo ŵakalongozgekanga na Obote na Dani Wadada Nabudere. Ŵapanduki na awo ŵakaŵa ku wuzga ŵakanozgekeranga ivi kwa myezi yinandi, ndipo ŵakamba kuyowoyeskana kufuma waka apo nkhondo yikambira. Apo kudumbiskana pakati pa magulu agha kukaŵa mukati, Museveni wakapeleka fundo yakuti FRONASA yake yikure cifukwa ca kuyezga kwambiska ŵasilikari ŵa ku Mbarara pamoza na Kikosi Maluum wa Obote kuti ŵapange gulu limoza la ŵasilikari. Obote wakakana fundo iyi ndipo wakayezga kukolerana na magulu ghanyake ghakwimikana nawo, kweni maghanoghano gha Museveni ghakakondweska ŵalongozgi ŵanyake awo ŵakaŵa ku wuzga. Apo ŵanthu ŵa ku Tanzania ŵakambanga kunozga ungano wa ŵakugaluka na awo ŵakaŵa ku wuzga, Nyerere wakambaso kughanaghanirapo pa udindo wa Obote mu gulu ili. Wakakhumba yayi kuti ŵanthu ŵawonenge nga kuti Tanzania yikukhumba kukhazikiska boma mu Uganda mwa kovwira Obote kuti walongozge gulu la ŵakugaluka. Nyerere wakawopaso kuti Obote wangatondeska ungano uwu kuti uleke kwenda makora. Wakamuphalira Obote kuti waleke kuluta ku ungano uwu, ndipo wakatuma ŵanthu kufuma ku Uganda People's Congress, chipani cha Obote. Mu malo gha Obote, ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵa ku Uganda awo ŵakaŵa ku wuzga ŵakamba kutemwera Yusuf Lule, uyo wakaŵa mulara wa vya sayansi na ndyali wa ku Muganda.

Ungano uwu ukajulika pa Malichi 24 mu tawuni ya Moshi ku Tanzania, pamanyuma pa kudumbiskana comene za magulu na ŵanthu awo ŵangazomerezgeka. Muhanya wenewura ŵimiliri ŵakapharazga za kuwumbika kwa Uganda National Liberation Front (UNLF), iyo yikeneranga kulongozgeka na Komiti Yakudumbiskana ya ku Uganda (NCC) iyo yikaŵa na ŵanthu 30 na Komiti Yakurongozga ya ku Uganda iyo yikaŵa na ŵanthu 11. Mazuŵa ghaŵiri ghakulondezgapo ŵakadumbiskana umo ŵamazaza ŵa wupu uwu ŵakenderananga na kusankha mulongozgi wa wupu uwu. Ŵakati ŵadumbiskana, ŵakazomerezgana kuti Lule ndiyo waŵe mulongozgi ndipo Muwanga ndiyo waŵe mulara wa komiti ya vya nkhondo. Ungano uwu ukamara pa 26 Malichi 1979.

 Kuwa kwa Kampala na umaliro wa nkhondo 


Zuŵa lakulondezgapo pamanyuma pa ungano wa Moshi, kazembe wa Libya ku Tanzania wakapeleka kwa Nyerere kalata yakufuma kwa Gaddafi, iyo yikati boma la Libya lizamunjira mu nkhondo mu zina la Amin usange Tanzania yingaleka kufumiska ŵasilikari ŵake mu Uganda mu maora 24. Nyerere wakazizwa comene na mazgu agha, cifukwa wakamanyanga kuti ŵasilikari ŵa ku Libya ŵakarwa nkhondo na Ŵauganda ku Lukaya. Wakayowoya pa wayilesi kuti nangauli chenjezgo la Gaddafi likasazgirako "vinthu vinyake" ku nkhondo, kweni likasintha yayi umo Tanzania yikuwonera Amin. Pakati pajumpha mazuŵa ghanayi, Gaddafi wakakhumbanga kuti Nyerere waŵe na wofi. Ndege iyi yikasanga yayi ico yikakhumbanga, kweni yikafika pa malo ghanyake. Ndege za ku Tanzania zikawukira malo ghakusungiramo mafuta ku Kampala, Jinja, na Tororo.

Kukwambilira kwa mwezi wa Epulero, ŵasilikari ŵa ku Tanzania ŵakamba kuŵikapo mtima kuti ŵathereske ŵasilikari ŵa ku Uganda ku Kampala. Pa nyengo iyi, ŵasilikari ŵa Uganda ŵakaŵa kuti ŵamara. Ŵadipuloma ŵakagomezganga kuti ŵasilikari ŵa ku Nubia na Sudan ndiwo ŵakaŵa ŵakugomezgeka, apo boma la Amin likalutilira kulamulira chifukwa cha wovwiri wa ku Libya. Mulembi wa nyuzipepara ya New York Times, John Darnton, wakati ŵasilikari 2,500 pera ndiwo ŵakalutilira kugomezgeka. Pakwamba, ŵalongozgi ŵa ku Tanzania ŵakaghanaghananga kuti Amin waŵikenge ŵasilikari ŵake ŵanandi mu msumba ukuru. Kweni kufuma ku Mpigi ŵakawonanga chirwa cha Entebbe, uko kukaŵa ndege zinandi za ku Libya na ŵasilikari ŵanandi ŵa ku Uganda na Libya. Usange ŵasilikari ŵa TPDF ŵatoranga Kampala pambere ŵandapoke tawuni ya Entebbe, ŵasilikari ŵa TPDF mu Kampala ŵangawukirapo yayi. Kuwukira Entebbe kungatondeska ŵasilikari ŵa ku Uganda kuti ŵaleke kwambiska nkhondo na ŵanthu ŵa ku Libya. Mwantheura, Musuguri wakalangura gulu la ŵasilikari la 208 kuti lipokere cigaŵa ici. Ŵasilikari ŵa TPDF ŵakazenga vilwero na kuwukira tawuni iyi kwa mazuŵa ghatatu. Amin wakaŵa ku Entebbe State House pa nyengo iyi kweni wakacimbira na helikopta kuya ku Kampala. Ŵasilikari ŵanandi ŵa ku Uganda ŵakachimbira, kweni Ŵalibiya ŵakakhala.

Pa 6 Epulero, ŵasilikari ŵakakhozga comene nkhondo iyi. Gulu la ŵasilikari la 208 likaluta ku Entebbe mulenji wakulondezgapo. Gulu limoza la ŵasilikari ŵa ku Libya likayezga kucimbira mu msewu wa ku Kampala, kweni likakomeka na kuparanyika. Namise ŵasilikari ŵa TPDF ŵakakora tawuni iyi na kutora vilwero vinandi vya ku Libya. Mulenji wakulondezgapo, ŵasilikari ŵanandi ŵa Uganda ŵakajipeleka ku TPDF. Nkhondo iyi yikapangiska kuti ŵasilikari ŵa Uganda ŵaleke kwendera ndege. Ndege zake zinandi zikaparanyika panji kukoreka, ndipo ŵasilikari ŵa nkhondo awo ŵakacimbilira ku viŵanja vya Jinja na Nakasongola ŵakawofya ŵasilikari ŵa Uganda. Ici cikapangiska kuti ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵaleke kusopa Yehova. Nyerere wakazomerezga ŵasilikari ŵa ku Libya, awo ŵakasuzgika comene pa nkhondo iyi, kuti ŵafumemo mu Kampala na kufumamo mu nkhondo kwambura soni. Wakatumizga uthenga kwa Gaddafi kulongosora ivyo wakacita, wakati ŵasilikari ŵa ku Libya ŵangasezgeka mu ndege kufuma mu Uganda kwambura kukanizgika kufuma ku Jinja. Ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵa ku Libya awo ŵakachimbiranga ŵakaŵasuzganga na ŵanthu ŵa ku Uganda awo ŵakaŵapuluskanga, kuŵapeleka ku TPDF panji kuŵakoma. Ŵanandi awo ŵakapona ŵakachimbilira ku Kenya na Ethiopia, uko ŵakawelera kukwawo. Kuwombokwa kwa ŵasilikari ŵa ku Libya mu Uganda kukaŵa suzgo likuru ku ndyali za ku vyaru vinyake za Gaddafi, ndipo vikapangiska kuti mu boma la Libya muŵe mphindano.

Gulu la TPDF likaluta ku Kampala pa 10 Epulero. Ŵasilikari ŵachoko waka ŵa ku Uganda panji ŵa ku Libya ndiwo ŵakakananga. Zuŵa lakulondezgapo, apo ŵasilikari ŵa Tanzania na UNLF ŵakasuzganga ŵasilikari ŵa Uganda awo ŵakaŵa mu Kampala, Oyite-Ojok wakaluta ku Radio Uganda kuti wakapharazge kuti msumba uwu wapokeka. Wakayowoya mu wayilesi kuti boma la Amin lili kukanizgika ndipo Kampala wali pasi pa mazaza gha UNLF, ndipo wakacema ŵanthu kuti ŵakhale bata ndipo ŵasilikari ŵa Uganda ŵajipeleke. Ŵanthu ŵakafumanga mu nyumba zawo na kwamba kwiba vinthu. Pa 13 Epulero Lule wakatolekera ku msumba uwu na kuŵikika kuŵa purezidenti muphya wa Uganda. Boma liphya la UNLF likamanyikwa mwaluŵiro na vyaru vinyake nga ni boma lakuzomerezgeka mu Uganda. Ŵakaŵavya ŵapolisi panji ŵantchito ŵa boma, kweniso ŵakaŵavya vinthu vyakukhumbikwa pa maofesi. Boma likateŵeterapo yayi pa nkhondo iyo yikachitika na ŵasilikari ŵa Amin.

Amin wakacimbilira ku Libya ndipo pamanyuma ku Saudi Arabia. Nangauli Amin wakachimbira na kuwira kwa msumba ukuru, kweni ŵasilikari ŵa Uganda ŵakalutilira kulimbana. Na wovwiri wa ŵasilikari ŵa ku Libya, ŵasilikari aŵa ŵakawelera kumpoto, ndipo ŵakamba kwiba vinthu. Ŵakaŵa pamoza na ŵasilikari ŵa PLO awo ŵakalongozgekanga na Mahmoud Da'as awo ŵakafika ku Sudan. Ŵakati ŵathereska msumba wa Kampala, nkhondo zikalutilira yayi. Pa 22 Epulero, TPDF yikapoka msumba wa Jinja na Damu la Owen Falls, ilo likapelekanga magesi ghose mu caru. Ŵasilikari ŵanandi ŵa Uganda ŵakagaluka panji kupasuka, ndipo ŵasilikari ŵa Tanzania na UNLF ŵakamba kukhala mu vigaŵa vinandi vya kumafumiro gha dazi na kumpoto kwa Uganda kwambura ŵakususka. Gulu linyake la ŵasilikari ŵa ku Uganda likalimbana na ŵasilikari aŵa, kweni nawo ŵakathereskeka. Ŵalwani ŵa Amin ŵakayezga kuti ŵaleke kunjilira kumpoto kwa Tanzania, kweni ŵakathereskeka pa Nkhondo ya Bombo, Lira, na Karuma Falls. Ku Mbale, ŵasilikari ŵa Uganda ŵakukwana 250 ŵakafumako ndipo ŵakasankha kuvikilira tawuni iyi ku ŵasilikari ŵakugomezgeka awo ŵakaweranga na kulindilira kuti ŵa Tanzania ŵize. Ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵakajikora na kuwukira ŵanthu ŵa ku Uganda awo ŵakakhalanga ku malo ghanyake, kweniso ŵanthu wose ŵa mafuko panji visopa awo ŵakakolerananga na boma la Amin. Ŵanthu ŵaheni ŵakaparanya mizi yose. Ŵalwani ŵa FRONASA na Kikosi Maalum ŵa ku Uganda ndiwo ŵakacitiska vigeŵenga viheni comene. Kanandi, ŵasilikari ŵa ku Tanzania ŵakazomerezganga panji kovwirapo pa kukoma ŵasilikari ŵa ku Uganda. Nangauli vili nthena, kweni ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵakuzomerezga kuti ŵanthu ŵa ku Tanzania ŵakacita makora comene, comenecomene pakuyaniska na ŵakugaluka ŵa ku Uganda na ŵasilikari ŵa mafuko.

Nkhondo yaumaliro ya nkhondo iyi yikacitika pa 27 Meyi apo gulu la ŵasilikari ŵa Uganda ŵakawukira ŵasilikari ŵa TPDF kufupi na Bondo pambere ŵandacimbire. Pakati pajumpha nyengo yicoko waka, ŵasilikari ŵakakora Arua kwambura kukumana na ŵanthu. Pakunjira mu chigaŵa cha West Nile, FRONASA yikamba "kukoma ŵanthu" ŵa ku malo agha, na wovwiri wa ŵanthu awo ŵakususkana na Amin. Ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵa ku West Nile ŵakachimbira pamoza na ŵasilikari ŵa Uganda. Kufuma ku Arua, gulu la ŵasilikari ŵa ku Tanzania likaluta ku mphaka ya kumanjiliro gha dazi kwa Uganda na Sudan na Zaire. Pa Juni 3, 1979, ŵakawoneseska kuti mphaka ya Sudan njakukhora. Pa nyengo iyi, ŵasilikari ŵa TPDF ŵakukwana 30,000-45,000 ŵakaŵa kuti ŵatumika ku Uganda.

Gulu la TPDF likathera ŵasilikari 373 mu nyengo ya nkhondo, ndipo 96 pera ndiwo ŵakafwa. Ŵasilikari ŵakuwukira ŵa ku Uganda ŵakukwana 150 ŵakafwa, ndipo ŵanandi ŵakafwa apo boti lawo likabwangasukira mu Nyanja ya Victoria. Ŵasilikari pafupifupi 1,000 ŵa gulu la ŵasilikari ŵa Uganda ŵakakomeka ndipo 3,000 ŵakakoleka. Pa nkhondo iyi, ŵasilikari 600 ŵa ku Libya ŵakafwa, ndipo ŵasilikari pafupifupi 1,800 ŵakapwetekeka. Ŵanthu ŵa ku Tanzania ŵakatora ŵakayidi 59 ŵa ku Libya, ndipo ŵakaŵafumiska myezi yinandi pamanyuma pa nkhondo. Ŵalwani ŵanandi ŵa PLO ŵakakomeka mu nyengo ya nkhondo iyi, nangauli chiŵelengero cawo nchakususkana. Gulu la PLO likuzomera kuti ŵali kutaya ŵasilikari 12 mu Uganda, kusazgapo awo ŵali kufwa na awo ŵasoŵa. Mwakupambana na ivi, ŵasilikari ŵa ku Tanzania ŵakayowoya kuti ŵanthu 200 ŵa ku Palestina ŵakakomeka pa nkhondo iyi. Munthu munyake wa ku Pakistan nayo wakakoleka na TPDF pamoza na ŵasilikari ŵa ku Libya, ndipo ŵakamufumiska pamanyuma pa nkhondo. Ŵanthu 1,500 ŵa ku Tanzania ŵakakomeka na ŵasilikari ŵa Uganda ku Kagera. Avirgan na Honey ŵakati ŵanthu pafupifupi 500 ŵa ku Uganda ŵakakomeka na ŵasilikari wose. Ŵanyake ŵakuti ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵakakomeka ku Uganda. Kuyana na Madanjeet Singh, uyo ni muyimiliri wa boma la India, ŵasilikari ŵa boma la Uganda ŵakamba kukoma ŵanthu ŵa ku Uganda na ŵenecho caru. A.B.K. Kasozi wakati ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵakakomeka na ŵanthu ŵakugomezgeka kwa Amin mu Malichi na Epulero 1979, apo Ogenga Otunnu wakati ŵanthu awo ŵakususka Amin ŵakakoma ŵanthu ŵanandi mu chigaŵa cha West Nile mu nyengo ya nkhondo.

 Vyakulembapo na vyakupharazga 
Mu Okutobala 1978, apo nkhondo yikambanga, wayilesi ya Radio Tanzania yikapharazga yayi vya nkhondo iyi, apo wayilesi ya Uganda yikapharazga mwakubudika vya nkhondo iyo yikaŵa pafupi kuchitika ku Tanzania. Ŵakati ŵapharazga za nkhondo ya ku Kagera, Radio Tanzania yikamba upharazgi wakukhozga kuti ŵanthu ŵambe kukhozgera nkhondo iyi. Mwaluŵiro, wayilesi ya Tanzania na ya Uganda yikamba kulimbana pa nkhani ya mawayilesi. Mu myezi yakwambilira, ŵanthu ŵa ku Tanzania ŵakapokera vinandi yayi padera pa ivyo Nyerere wakayowoya. Mwaluŵiro boma la Tanzania likakhazikiska "Komiti Yakuphalira Ŵanthu vya Nkhondo". Wupu uwu ukadangiliranga na mulembi mu ofesi ya Unduna wa vya Malango, George Mhina, ndipo ukaŵa na ŵalembi ŵa manyuzipepara gha boma ghaŵiri gha ku Tanzania, mulara wa Radio Tanzania, mulembi wa vya mtende wa pulezidenti Sammy Mdee, na ŵimiliri ŵa TPDF na ŵasilikari. Mhina wakamba kubisa nkhani za nkhondo mwakuti nangauli ŵapharazgi ŵanandi ŵa ku Tanzania na ŵakujambura vithuzithuzi ŵakaluta ku nkhondo, kweni vikaŵanga vichoko waka ivyo ŵakalemba. Mdee na ŵalembi ŵa nyuzipepara ŵakaleka kuwungana na komiti iyi. Kanandi, nyuzipepara ya ku Tanzania yikazomerezgekanga kulemba ivyo yikukhumba mwakuyana na dango, kweni kanandi yikapharazganga mwakupambana na nyuzipepara za boma.

Pakuwona kuti ŵanthu ŵa ku Tanzania ŵakukana kuŵapharazgira, ŵakamba kutegherezga mawayilesi gha ku vyaru vinyake nga ni BBC Radio, Voice of America, Voice of Kenya, Radio South Africa, na Radio Uganda. Ku Dar es Salaam, ŵanthu ŵakaluta ku hotelo ya Kilimanjaro kuti ŵakawone nkhani izo zikayowoyeka na Reuters. Paumaliro, Komiti Yakupharazga yikaphalira ŵanthu kuti ŵaleke kugwiliskira nchito ciŵiya ici. Pa nyengo yose iyo nkhondo yikaŵa mukati, wayilesi ya Radio Tanzania yikapharazganga nkhani zakukondweska, sumu, na mapowemu ghakukhwaskana na nkhondo iyi kweniso yikalumbanga TPDF. Ŵakapenja ŵapharazgi awo ŵakayowoyanga viyowoyero vya ku Uganda ndipo ŵakapharazgiranga ŵanthu ŵa ku Uganda. Munthu munyake wa ku Uganda zina lake Sam Odaka, wakendeskanga pulogiramu ya maminiti 45 zuŵa lililose pa wayilesi ya Radio Tanzania. Ungano uwu ukaŵawovwira kuti ŵasilikari ŵa ku Uganda ŵaleke kopa. SHIHATA wakatemwanga kuyowoya kuti Amin ni "munthu wakuwukira boma".

Ku Uganda kukaŵavya wanangwa wa vyakupharazga, ndipo manyuzipepara ghanandi ghakasanganga nkhani zawo ku wupu wa boma wa Uganda News Agency. Amin wakagwiliskiranga nchito vyakupharazga vya boma kuti wayowoye na ŵanthu ŵambura mulandu mu nyengo yose ya nkhondo na kuwukira Tanzania. Uthenga wa mu Uganda ukaŵa wautesi kweniso ukaŵa wambura unenesko. Likayezga kukhozga wunthu wa Idi Amin na kukhozga mtima wa ŵasilikari ŵa ku Uganda mwa kuthandazga nkhani zautesi, nga ni izo zikayowoyanga kuti gulu linyake la ku Tanzania likakomeka na ng'ona panji kuti pulezidenti wangathereska ŵanthu 20,000 ŵa ku Tanzania na ŵasilikari 20 pera ŵa ku Uganda. Yumoza mwa nkhani zakumanyikwa chomene izo zikayowoyeka na ŵanthu awo ŵakakolerana na Amin, ni nkhani ya muwoli wa Pulezidenti, Sarah Kyolaba, apo wakadangiliranga gulu la ŵanakazi awo ŵakaŵa na vilwero kwimikana na TPDF. Kweni pakaŵavya ukaboni wakukhorweska wakuti kuli ŵangelo aŵa. Decker wakughanaghana kuti nkhani za "Suicide Sarah" zikwenera kuti zikovwira kuti "ŵalwani ŵaŵe ŵanakazi". Ivyo UNLF yikalemba vikaŵa vyambura kupulikikwa panji vikaŵa vyawaka. Nkhondo yikati yamara, boma la Tanzania likapempha muteŵeti wa wayilesi iyi kuti waŵawovwire umo ŵangagwiliskira ntchito wayilesi kuti ŵanthu ŵawovwirepo pa ntchito ya kuzenga.

Apo nkhondo yikambanga, boma la Tanzania likiza na ŵapharazgi ŵanayi ku Kagera kuti ŵalongore kuti charu cha Uganda ndicho chikapoka malo agha. Kufuma apo, ŵapharazgi ŵakazomerezgekanga yayi kuluta ku nkhondo, ntheura chikaŵa chakusuzga kuti waliyose wakhorweske ivyo munyake wayowoya. Ŵapharazgi kanandi ŵakayezganga kuti ŵamanye usange nkhani za ku Uganda ni zaunenesko. Ŵapharazgi ŵa Reuters, Tony Avirgan na Martha Honey, ndiwo ŵakazomerezgeka na Nyerere kuti ŵalute na TPDF apo ŵakanjira mu Uganda. Ŵapharazgi ŵanayi ŵa ku Europe awo ŵakayezga kunjira mu Uganda kufuma ku Kenya mukati mwa nkhondo ŵakakomeka na ŵasilikari ŵa ku Uganda. Ŵapharazgi ŵanandi ŵakalemba nkhani za nkhondo iyi kufuma ku Kenya, chomenechomene ku Nairobi. Kufuma kura, ŵakacemerezganga pa foni ku ŵimiliri ŵa vyaru vinyake mu Kampala, ndipo apo nkhondo yikalutiliranga, ŵakapokera mauthenga kufuma ku ŵanthu ŵa mu msumba uwu.

 Ivyo Vikachitika 

 Kusanda 
Ronald Aminzade, uyo wakumanya vya umoyo wa ŵanthu, wakati "cifukwa cikuru" ico ŵanthu ŵa ku Tanzania ŵakathereskera nkhondo iyi nchakuti ŵakaghanaghananga kuti nkhondo iyi njakofya ku caru. Aminzade wakayowoya kuti Uganda "yikatora nkhondo ya vigaŵa ivyo vikukolerana yayi na maghanoghano gha ŵanthu", ndipo yikagwiliskira ntchito ŵasilikari awo ŵakaŵa na mtima wa kughanaghana viheni kweniso ŵakasuskananga. Mlembi wa nyuzipepara Godwin Matatu wakati kutondeka kwa gulu la nkhondo la Uganda kuli cifukwa ca kuleka kugomezgeka kwa ŵasilikari na kugomezga magalimoto na misewu ivyo vikaŵapangiska kuti ŵathereskeke na ŵasilikari ŵa ku Tanzania awo ŵakendanga pasi nyengo yinandi ya nkhondo. Mlembi wa nyuzipepala Anne Abaho wakati Uganda wakataya nkhondo iyi chifukwa cha vinthu vinayi: kusuzgika kwa mukati na kutondeka kwa ŵasilikari ŵa Uganda, kutuma kwa Tanzania mabomba gha BM-21 Grad na kutondeka kwa Uganda kughana nagho, kusoŵa kwa umanyi wa nkhondo, na kukolerana na Libya. Ŵanthu ŵanyake ŵa ku Western ŵakayowoya kuti boma la Tanzania likathereska ŵasilikari ŵa Uganda. Ŵanyake ŵakaghanaghana kuti umo TPDF yikwendera vikulongora kuti maofesi gha ŵasilikari ŵa ku Africa ghasintha comene. William Thom, uyo wakumanya vya nkhondo, wakawonga kuti TPDF yikumanya kutuma ŵasilikari awo ŵali kutali. Kenneth M. Pollack wakati cifukwa ca kutondeka kwa ŵasilikari ŵa ku Libya nchakuti ŵakaŵa na mtima wambura kwenelera kweniso ŵakamanyanga vinandi yayi vya nkhondo. Benoni Turyahikayo-Rugyema wakalemba mu 1998 kuti: "Aŵenge kuti Amin wakanjira yayi mu Kagera Salient mu Tanzania mphanyi wachali kuwusa Uganda".

Ŵasayansi ŵanandi ŵakuwona usange ivyo boma la Tanzania likachita pakunjira mu charu cha Uganda na kufumiska Amin ku ufumu ni vyakuchitika vyachitemwa. Nangauli ŵanthu ŵanyake ŵakuzomerezga kuti ivyo Tanzania yikacita vikaŵa vyacitemwa, kweni ŵanyake ŵakususka fundo iyi, ŵakuti nangauli Tanzania yikacita nkhondo iyi cifukwa ca citemwa, kweni cifukwa cikuru ico yikacitira nthena cikaŵa cakuti yikapoka caru ca Uganda. Boma la Tanzania nalo likasuska Amin kuti wakuchitira nkhaza ŵanthu ŵakwake ndipo likati ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵa ku Uganda "ŵakakondwa" na ivyo boma la Tanzania likachita, kweni vikaŵa vyambura kuzomerezgeka. M'malo mwake, likati caru ici cikacita nthena kuti civikilire caru cake ndiposo kuti muwuso wa Amin ukaŵa "wowofya comene ku mtende na civikiliro ca ku East Africa". Emmanuel K., nkhwantha ya cisopa ca Cikhristu Twesigye wakawona nkhondo iyi kuŵa "ciyelezgero ciwemi ca fundo yakuti 'nkhondo njakunyoloka.' Daniel G. Acheson-Brown wakati, kuyana na fundo ya nkhondo yaurunji iyo yikayowoyeka mu buku la Michael Walzer lakuti Just and Unjust Wars, nkhondo ya Tanzania ku Uganda yikaŵa yiwemi cifukwa cakuti yikaŵa ya ŵanthu wose. Acheson-Brown wakayowoyaso kuti ŵasilikari ŵa Uganda ŵakacita "mauryarya ghanandi" pa nyengo ya nkhondo iyi ndipo Tanzania yikacita "vinthu vinyake ivyo vikususka nkhondo", comenecomene apo TPDF yikaparanya Mutukula. Walzer nayo wakawonanga kuti nkhondo iyi yikaŵa nthowa yiwemi yakunjilirapo. Noreen Burrows, nkhwantha ya vya malango, wakalemba kuti nangauli ivyo charu cha Tanzania chikacita pakurwa na Uganda vikapambana na malango gha caru cose, kweni vikaŵa vyakwenelera cifukwa ca fundo zaurunji na za ndyali. Nkhwantha yinyake ya vya malango, zina lake Sean D. Murphy wakalongosora kuti caru ca Tanzania cikapoka caru ca Uganda cifukwa ca "cifukwa ca kujivikilira na kuvikilira wanangwa wa ŵanthu". Pamanyuma, caru ca Belgium cikati cazomera kunjilirapo pa nkhondo ya ku Uganda na Tanzania, cikati cazomera kunjilirapo pa nkhondo ya ku Kosovo.

 Nkhondo za ndyali pa caru cose 
Mu nyengo ya ku Africa, ŵasilikari ŵa vyaru vinyake ŵakaŵavya mwaŵi wakuti ŵathereske mulongozgi wa boma. Pa ungano wa OAU mu Julayi 1979, Pulezidenti Gaafar Nimeiry wa ku Sudan wakati nkhondo ya Uganda na Tanzania yikaŵa "nthondwe yikuru" ndipo chikalata cha wupu uwu "chikukanizga kunjilirapo pa vya mukati na kunjira mu vyaru vinyake". Mulongozgi wa boma la Nigeria Olusegun Obasanjo nayo wakafipanga mtima. Ŵanthu ŵanyake ŵakususka fundo iyi ndipo ŵakuti vinthu ivi vikulongora kuti chikalata cha OAU chikwenera kusintha. Nyerere wakanena OAU kuti yikuvikilira ŵalongozgi ŵa Afirika ku ŵanthu ŵabendezi, ndipo wakati boma la Amin likakoma ŵanthu ŵanandi kuluska maboma gha ŵanthu ŵatuŵa ku southern Africa. Kweniso wakagaŵira "Blue Book" iyo yikalembeka na boma la Tanzania, ilo likati mulimo wa Tanzania mu nkhondo ukaŵa wakwenelera cifukwa ca kuwukira kwa Uganda ku Kagera Salient na kunjilirapo kwa Libya, ico cikakanizga ŵakugaluka ŵa Uganda kuwuskapo Amin. Pulezidenti Godfrey Binaisa, uyo wakanjira mu malo gha Lule, wakalumba ivyo Tanzania yikacita. Vyaru vinandi vya ku Western vikakana kuyowoyapo vya udindo wa Tanzania pakuwuskapo Amin, nangauli Secretary of Foreign wa Britain David Owen wakayowoya kuti wakakondwa na umaliro wa muwuso wa Amin. Kuyana na ŵasayansi Roy May na Oliver Furley, caru cose cikapokelera "mwakufwasa" kuwuskako muwuso wa boma ili, nga ni umo ŵakacitira na boma la UNLF.

 Uganda 

Nkhondo iyo yikacitika na Tanzania yikananga comene cuma ca Uganda, cifukwa cakuti vinthu vikamba kukwera comene ndipo ndalama zikakwera comene. Mu 1979, ŵasilikari ŵa charu cha Uganda ŵakanjira mu charu ichi ndipo nyengo ya kulima yikamara. Nangauli pakaŵa masuzgo agha, kweni ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵakakhalanga ku mizi, ndipo nkhondo yikaŵa pa malo ghanyake. Ŵanthu pafupifupi 100,000 ku Uganda ŵakaŵavya pakukhala cifukwa ca nkhondo iyi. Nkhondo iyi yikapangiska kuti paŵe vivulupi vinandi. Amin wakati walekeskeka, magulu ghakupambanapambana gha ndyali na mafuko ghakamba kuphalizgana na kulimbana kuti ŵaŵe na mazaza. Kweniso ukapangiska kuti ubendezi wambeso apo vigeŵenga ivyo vikamanyikwanga na zina lakuti "kondos" ndipo vikaŵa na vilwero ivyo vikaŵa vya TPDF, ŵakugaluka ŵa ku Uganda, na ŵasilikari ŵa Amin, ŵakagwiliskira ntchito uheni uwu kuti ŵapoke vinthu.

Mwakusazgirapo, nkhondo iyi yikapangiska kuti vigeŵenga vyambuke mu caru cose, ndipo vikananga comene cilengiwa.

TPDF yikakhala mu Uganda kuti yisungilire mtende, ndipo pamasinda ŵasilikari ŵa Tanzania ŵakababa ŵana ŵanandi ŵa ku Uganda. Ŵasilikari ŵanandi ŵa TPDF ŵakatora ŵanakazi ŵa ku Uganda na kwiza nawo ku Tanzania.

Nyengo yikati yajumphapo, ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵa ku Uganda ŵakavuka na boma la Tanzania. Pa nyengo yeneyiyo, ŵasilikari ŵa Amin ŵa Uganda ŵakawungana ku Zaire na Sudan, ndipo ŵakanjira mu Uganda mu 1980 ndipo ŵakambiska nkhondo ya mukati mwa chalo iyo yikamanyikwa kuti Uganda Bush War.

Ŵalongozgi ŵa ŵasilikari ŵa ku Tanzania ŵakakhala mu caru mpaka mu 1984.

Nyengo yichoko waka kufuma apo gulu la UNLF likambira kuwusa, mu Uganda mukaŵa suzgo la ndyali. Lule wakasulako mapangano gha Moshi Conference agho ghakulongosora mazaza gha pulezidenti ghakulopwa ndipo wakayezga kulongora kuti wangachita vinthu mwakuyana na mazaza ghakuru agho ghakapelekeka na boma la Uganda pambere Amin wandapange boma. Wakagomezgaso yayi UNLA, iyo wakawonanga kuti yikupangika na ŵakugomezgeka ŵa Obote na Museveni. Pa nyengo yeneyira, Museveni na Oyite-Ojok wose ŵakayezga kuti ŵasazgireko ŵanthu awo ŵakakolerana nawo. Pakuti Lule wakakana kufumba NCC vya mauteŵeti, komiti yikakwiya comene, ndipo pa Juni 20, 1979, yikamuwuskapo. Mubali Godfrey Binaisa, uyo wakaŵa loya mukuru wa boma la Uganda mu nyengo ya Obote, wakasuskanga iyo na Amin. Kuwuskika kwa Lule kukapangiska kuti mu Kampala muŵe viwawa vikuruvikuru na kugazgana pakati pa awo ŵakalongoranga na ŵasilikari ŵa Tanzania awo ŵakayezga kukhozga bata. Nyerere wakapharazga kuti walutilirenge kovwira caru ca Uganda usange cikulutilira kuŵa na boma limoza ndiposo lambura vimbundi. Mu mwezi wakulondezgapo, ŵasilikari ŵanandi ŵa TPDF ŵakawerako ndipo vivulupi vya ndyali mu Kampala vikakura. Mu Novembala, Binaisa wakamba kopa kuti Muwanga, uyo wakaŵa nduna mu boma, wakunozgekera kuti wawezgereso Obote ku mazaza. Pakulondezga ulongozgi wa Obote, Muwanga wakapharazga kuti Obote walije khumbo la kuwuskapo umukuru wa chalo ndipo wazamukhozgera Binaisa pa chisankho chakulondezgapo. Nga ni umo Obote na Muwanga ŵakaghanaghaniranga, Binaisa wakawona kuti njakuvikilirika ndipo wakawuskapo Museveni, uyo wakaŵa mulwani wa Obote. Vinthu vikalutilira kuhenipa mu Uganda apo ŵasilikari ŵa ku Tanzania ŵakarwa nkhondo na ŵanthu ŵambura mulandu, ndipo Binaisa wakajiŵika pa kugwiliskira nchito ofesi yake kuti wasange ndalama.Mu 1980, Binaisa wakayezga kumuchimbizga Oyite-Ojok pa udindo wake wakuŵa Chief of Staff wa UNLA. Ici cikakwiyiska ŵasilikari ŵanandi ŵa ku Uganda, ndipo Muwanga na Oyite-Ojok, na kuzomerezgeka na Museveni, ŵakamba kufumiska Binaisa. Pa Meyi 12, Komiti ya vya Nkhondo ya NCC yikapharazga kuti yikwamba kuwusa. Nyerere wakakana kunjilirapo, cifukwa wakawopanga kuti TPDF na UNLA viwukenge.

Mwaluŵiro Obote wakawelera ku Uganda ndipo wakamba kunozga UPC pakunozgekera mavoti agho ghakaŵako pa Disembala 10. Chifukwa cha vinthu vinyake ivyo vikachitika, UPC yikathereska pa viphikiro vya pa nyumba ya maparamende ndipo yikambiska boma. Mu Febuluwale 1981, Museveni, wakakanira mavoti, wakapangiska gulu la ŵanthu ŵakugaluka ndipo ŵakamba kuwukira ŵasilikari ŵa UNLA, ndipo ivi vikapangiska kuti paŵe nkhondo ya mukati.

 Tanzania 

Nkhondo iyi yikamba pa nyengo iyo chuma cha Tanzania chikamba kuwelera nyuma ya chilangalanga mu 1974 na 1975. Maofesi ghose gha boma ghakakanizgika kugwira ntchito, kupaturako ya kuvikilira. Nyerere wakayowoya mu Janyuwale 1979 kuti mulimo wa TPDF wa kufumiska ŵanthu ŵa ku Uganda ukakhumbikwiranga kuti ndalama za charu ichi zileke kugwiliskirika ntchito pa mulimo wa vyakuzenga. Ŵasayansi ŵakuti nkhondo iyi yikananga vinthu vinandi chomene ku ŵanthu ŵa ku Tanzania. Ku Kagera, katundu wakukwana $108 miliyoni wakaparanyika. Pa nyengo ya nkhondo, vyaru vinyake vya mu wupu wa OAU vikapeleka yayi wovwiri ku Tanzania. Pa cifukwa ici, boma la Dar es Salaam likakhumbikwiranga kupeleka ndalama zakwendeskera nkhondo ya ku Uganda na ntchito yakulondezgapo ya kusungilira mtende kufuma ku ndalama zake, ndipo ici cikapangiska kuti caru ciŵe mu ukavu. Chifukwa cha suzgo la ndalama, vyakurya vikasoŵa ndipo ŵanthu ŵakasuzgikanga chomene. Ku Tanzania, nkhondo yikaŵa kuti yaluta panthazi chomene m'paka apo charu cha Uganda chikawezgera ngongoli yake mu 2007.

Apo ŵasilikari ŵa TPDF ŵakamba kuwelera ku Tanzania, ŵasilikari ŵacoko waka ndiwo ŵakawerako ku nkhondo. Ŵalongozgi ŵa ŵasilikari ŵakamba kunozga vinthu vinyake kuti ŵasazgireko ŵasilikari awo ŵakaŵa mu nyengo ya nkhondo. Ŵanyake mu gulu la ŵasilikari ŵakasuska cifukwa ca suzgo la vya ndalama mu Tanzania, ndipo cuma ca caru ici cikasuzgika comene mwakuti ŵasilikari ŵa TPDF ŵakeneranga kumazga ŵasilikari ŵanandi. Ndipouli, TPDF yikasungilira ŵasilikari ŵanandi mu gulu la ŵasilikari, ndipo yikaghanaghananga kuti ŵangaŵawovwira kuti ŵalangure ŵasilikari para ŵakukhumbikwira kuŵapempha kuti ŵambeso kuteŵetera. Nkhondo yikati yamara, TPDF yikalutilira kuŵa yikuru kuluska iyo yikaŵako pambere nkhondo yindambe.

Nangauli PLO yikakhwaskika na nkhondo ya ku Uganda, Nyerere wakakhumba yayi kuti wupu uwu uŵe na viheni, kweni wakawona kuti uli kutali na Amin cifukwa cakuti ukaŵa pa caru cose. Mu 1982, vinthu vikasintha pakati pa Tanzania na Libya. Boma la Tanzania likakhozga chomene ŵasilikari ŵa Kagera pamanyuma pa nkhondo iyi. Pa cifukwa ca kuvikilira ŵanthu, ŵanthu ŵa mu muzi ŵakakanizgikanga kutora malo agho ghakaŵa pa mtunda wa mamita 100 kufuma ku mphaka, nangauli nyengo yikati yajumphapo, ŵanthu ŵakasulako waka. Nkhondo yikati yamara waka, boma likajara misika ya ku vyaru vinyake. Kweniso ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵakamba kwiza na vigeŵenga. Mu ma 1990, ŵanthu ŵakambaso kwenda na Uganda. Pakuti mphaka ya ku Uganda na Tanzania yikafumiskika pa nkhondo iyi, mphindano pakati pa vyaru viŵiri ivi yikalutilira nangauli yikaŵa yacilendo. Maungano gha pakati pa Uganda na Tanzania ghakukhwaskana na kuŵaso na mphaka yakufikapo, ghakamba mu 1999 ndipo ghakamara mu 2001.

Kweniso, ku Tanzania kukaŵa vigeŵenga vinandi na vivulupi, comenecomene vigeŵenga ivyo vikatimbanga viŵeto. Ŵasilikari ŵanandi ŵakagwiliskirika nchito mu caru ca Tanzania, cifukwa ŵawukirano ŵanandi ŵa mu mbumba zaukavu ŵakaŵa na mazaza, mwaŵi wa kupoka vinthu, ndiposo malipiro ghawemi. Para ŵanthu aŵa ŵafumiskika mu mawoko, kanandi ŵakaŵanga ŵambura nchito ndipo ŵakaweleranga ku ukavu cifukwa ca suzgo la vya cuma mu Tanzania. Kweniso, ŵasilikari ŵa ku Tanzania ŵakanjizga munjilira ukuru wa vilwero vya ku Uganda mu caru cawo. Ŵasilikari ŵanandi ŵakazgoŵera nkhaza, ntheura ŵakagwiliskiranga nchito futi zawo kuti ŵasange usambazi. Ici cikapangiska kuti ucigeŵenga ukure comene, kweniso kuti paŵe mphindano pakati pa ŵanthu. Magulu ghanyake ghakaŵa na ŵasilikari ŵanandi chomene mu TPDF; comenecomene mu 1978, ŵasilikari ŵa ku Tanzania ŵakujumpha 50% ŵakaŵa ŵa fuko la Kuria, nangauli ŵakaŵa ŵacoko kuluska 1% ŵa ŵanthu wose ŵa mu caru ici. Kweniso mu vigaŵa vinyake, ŵanthu awo ŵakaŵa ŵasilikari kale ŵakaŵa ŵakupambana. Vyose ivi vikapangiska kuti paŵe kusintha kwa mazaza, kweniso kuti paŵe vivulupi pakati pa mafuko, mafuko, na mizi mu Tanzania. Ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵa ku Tanzania na ŵantchito ŵanyake ŵa vyaumoyo ŵakugomezga kuti nkhondo ndiyo yikapangiska kuti nthenda ya AIDS yikathandazgike mu charu chose.
