In 1963, it became the, offering courses leading to general degrees from the. It became an independent national university in 1970 when the University of East Africa was split into three independent universities: , , and Makerere University. Today, Makerere University is composed of nine colleges and one school offering programmes for about 36,000 undergraduates and 4,000 postgraduates. Has ranked Makerere University as the eighth best university in Africa and the 569th best university worldwide. The for 2016 ranked it as the fourth best university in Africa.
Makerere University was to many post-independence African leaders, including Ugandan president and Tanzanian presidents and. The president of the, and Kenyan president are also Makerere alumni.
In the years immediately after Uganda's independence, Makerere University was a focal point for the literary activity that was central to African nationalist culture. Many prominent writers, including, and, were at Makerere University at one point in their writing and academic careers. Because of student unrest and faculty disenchantment, the university was closed three times between 2006 and 2016. The final time was on 1 November 2016 when President declared it closed indefinitely. Contents. History Founding of the technical school The that became Makerere University began operating in 1921 with the first classes in carpentry, building construction and mechanics.
In 1922 it was founded as the 'Uganda Technical College' with additional courses in the arts, education, agriculture and medicine. That same year it was again renamed as Makerere College. In 1928, the vocational classes were separated from the college and renamed Kampala Technical School. In 1937 the college began offering post-secondary education certificate courses. University In 1949 Makerere College was granted university status and its name became Makerere College, University of East Africa.
Unrest in the 2000s The university was closed three times between 2006 and 2016. Beginning on 1 August 2016, the non-teaching staff went on strike demanding their back pay.
The strike lasted three weeks and the government agreed to pay them by the end of October; however, the government failed to do so. This was but one more broken promise in the cycle of failed promises, strikes and more promises. That strike was followed by a strike of the lecturers over unpaid incentive pay, and that strike was joined by students in solidarity. This led to President Yoweri Museveni closing the university 'indefinitely'.
Additional protests, including from parents whose children were left hanging in mid-semester, led to Museveni appointing a special commission to try to rectify the situation but with no promises of reopening. The commission's report is due in late February 2017.

This latest expose of Amin's terrorism, the third to appear within a month, is distinguished by its author's inside knowledge and tainted by his long collaboration with the regime he denounces. Kyemba served in Amin's government-as personal aide (1971-72), Minister of Culture (1972-74) and Health (1974-77)-until, early this year, he was personally endangered by knowing too much about the headline murders of Entebbe hostage Dora Bloch and Amin-critic Archbishop Luwuum. But the first 'incident that shocked me' occurred within days of Amin's 1971 takeover of Uganda, and throughout Kyemba's recital of massacres and mutilations, dismay at Kyemba's numb acceptance-throwing bodies into the Nile proved 'an inefficient method of disposal'-contends with horror at the actions. A far less searching appraisal than David Gwyn's Idi Amin (p. 1126), this does serve to buttress it: what Gwyn is at pains to prove, Kyemba knows for a fact. And his accounts of the Bloch and Luwuum cases are indisputable: he, or his informants, were there. He also has first-hand knowledge of Amin's women, for what that's worth, and of Amin's erratic methods of governance: Kyemba wanted to close private clinics to force Uganda's few remaining doctors into full-time public service, Amin agreed when a woman he had impregnated went to a private clinic for an abortion.
But none of this adds significantly to the record of terror or state of disarray that Gwyn and others have revealed-and even Kyemba's reproach to those American blacks who succumbed to Amin's wiles is clouded by his own inaction. Now, from exile, he calls upon Britain, the US, the Arab countries, etc., to undermine Amin's regime-and there may be a lesson in the absoluteness of absolute rule there.

As I read this unbelievable memoir, I have a hard time understanding why Kyemba stayed as long as he did. I mean, even after Amin had his brother murdered he still came back to work for the tyrant thug. Reading these accounts of murder after murder after murder it starts to become unreal. I went to Kampala over Xmas time, however and I was shocked to learn that the people of Uganda do not hate Amin. In fact they credit him with producing some of the city's important architectural buildings, etc.

I went to Kampala over Xmas time, however and I was shocked to learn that the people of Uganda do not hate Amin.

I think this memoir needs to be read by the people of Uganda, but perhaps they don't want to read it.
Perhaps it is easier not knowing. This is Henry Kyemba's memoir of being a member of Milton Obote's government in Uganda, and then - somewhat to his surprise - finding himself highly placed in Idi Amin's government after Amin ousted Obote. This is a cool and rational description of what Amin put his country through, and it is clear that Kyemba doesn't want to know, or at any rate linger over, too many of the details of Amin's genocide of his own constituents, the destruction of the country's economy or Uganda's standing in the This is Henry Kyemba's memoir of being a member of Milton Obote's government in Uganda, and then - somewhat to his surprise - finding himself highly placed in Idi Amin's government after Amin ousted Obote.

Heavily illustrated with photos. Well-written and carefully thought out, telling us each time he has to leave out a name for fear of getting a friend or colleague killed.
The text starts with a list of 100 people he knows who were killed by his boss - including the author's own brother. Well worth a look.
I read A State of Blood shortly after returning from Uganda, maybe to gain a sense of perspective on the history of this country. It was a compelling read, if a gruesome one.
Henry Kyemba gives us his own insights into Idi Amin's regime: what it meant to be living in Uganda at that time but also what led to the regime and how he thought it would evolve (at the time of writing).

Although it shouldn't be taken as a stand-alone document on Uganda under Idi Amin, it is an important testimony that deserves to be read. I remember when Idi Amin was in the news regularly, in the seventies, as a really bad guy, but I did not know how evil he really was. I am doing a study, for my own education, on Uganda, and this book is a real eye-opening place to start. The author spares no gory detail, and one can feel his anguish, not only at having to play a part in a corrupt and cruelly violent evil government, but also in having to witness the economic destruction of his home country.

Sadly, the portrayal of Idi Amin's character seems all too similar to that of other dead and living world leaders.Frightening. When I purchased this book, I hoped to get a picture of Idi Amin's personality, and an inside story on how he maintained power. Instead I got a disconnected - though interesting - hodgepodge of anecdotes. The author states that he was a confidant of Amin's with whom he 'could talk to at any time of the day or night,' but he fails to explore Amin's character or tell us how he managed to maintain his hold on the government while Ugandan society fell apart.

I couldn't help but feeling that the author was holding something back. Did he partake in some of the government's misdeeds and is holding back on revealing this? Kyemba stresses how much Amin trusted him, but never outlines why that was. Not only did Amin trust Kyemba, but Kyemba trusted the ruthless dictator just as much! Even after Kyemba's brother is murdered by the government, Kyemba felt that 'for me, things would be different.

I did not believe I would ever be in any personal danger.' I suppose this is how regimes like Amin's are able to last for so long. Ministers watch as those around them are murdered, yet they trust that for them, things will be different.
Eventually Kyemba realizes that he, too, has a shelf life and flees the country. I can vouch for many of the facts of this book, as I was in Uganda in 1976 (and was locked up for being a tourist with a camera; all my spools of film were destroyed and my camera confiscated) - both me and my friend John Nickson were locked up in Kampala, and treated VERY badly. The amazing thing about this book is that Henry hung around as a cabinet minister for so long even after his brother was killed. I am a bit sceptical; there must have been something in it for him.

I am a bit sceptical; there must have been something in it for him. But the book is well written and has a very honest ring to it; he obviously did a complete about-face (though way too late) - as did the attorney general (read foreword) And he is no doubt an intelligent guy and a good writer. This was one of the most terrible stories ever, of events in African history. The MOST amazing thing is that Amin remained in power until 1980 (even after this book was published in August 1977) and ALSO that Amin was never brought to account in any way and died of old age in Libya under the protection of Gaddafi And the current residents of Uganda will mostly tell you that this book is bullshit and that Amin actually did a lot for the country!!
Much like Trump supporters, Mugabe supporters, and, in SA, Zuma supporters. People really struggle to learn from history. (Of course would not say they are nearly as bad though. Lol We also know, though it wasn't mentioned in this book, that Idi was a cannibal.).
Idi Amin: Lion of Africa? It is over 20 years since Idi Amin Dada was deposed from office as president of Uganda.
Except for one or two mentions, notably at the time of his passing in 2003, this dictator, who in the final years of his regime, came to be known as the wildest president in Africa, has in recent years largely been cast to the dustbin of history. With his new book, Manzoor Moghal offers a reappraisal of Idi Amin’s time in office.
While this is not an outright defence of Amin’s rule, it is, nonetheless, an attempt to recast the man, and offer a more positive narrative of his politics. Moghal tells the story of Amin’s rise and fall but, in a slightly new way — different from what you have read in Henry Kyemba’s A State of Blood or the 1977 indictment by Time — not accusatory. Like others before him, Moghal writes about the atrocities of the Idi Amin regime. However, he subtly endeavors to reinterpret the politics of the time, primarily through re-examining the motivation behind Amin’s actions and theatrics.
He portrays Amin as a leader who pursued his intentions insidiously, but with well timed swiftness and accuracy, a man capable of impeccable tact and shocking brutality. And while Moghal makes no apologies for Amin’s crimes, he implicitly argues that the majority of stories about Amin are told without context, making it difficult to understand the man and his actions. As a local leader and Muslim elder at the time, Moghal came to work closely with Amin, especially in the early 1970s, just before and after the latter took power. According to Moghal, Amin was a man who would take his chances, and who demonstrated unbeatable courage and strength. In short, while Time magazine described Amin as the “wild man of Africa”, calling him lethal and deadly, Manzool Moghal, apparently begs to differ. In, he wants readers to see a different side of Amin.
This, no doubt, explains the book title. Filed Under: Tagged With:,.
