When we speak about a coup, some of you get so apprehended to the
point that you can even afford to hide under your chairs at the mention of that
4 lettered word. But hey, look here, come forth from your hiding place under
that chair and let us talk about this. As Ugandans, it would simply be
unrealistic if we pretended that coups are an alien topic to our existence.
Just a reminder, for the 50 years that we have existed as an independent nation
transitions of power have predominantly, if not only been by Coup D’états.
So, for us
to pretend that it is an abomination for a citizen of this blessed curse of a
nation to speak about a coup is to ignore our own history. But even then, we
cannot speak of disgruntled Generals and not speak about a Coup D’état. Coup
D’états is what disgruntled Generals machinate (apart from the coy Ugandan ones
off course).
