What does it mean to be Ugandan?



After a long hiatus from blogging I must ask my fellow citizens: what does it mean to be Ugandan, is there really anything holding us together or are we staring the inevitable in the face, things will fall apart sooner or later. Allan Tacca's article in today's sunday monitor says it all, we simply do not build things to last, we have the incessant need to tear down all our institutions and rebuild all over again, every few decades.


So I ask again, what does it mean to be Ugandan, is there really anything holding us together??

It seems there is nothing that holds people living in this 94,000 sq. mile area together. Maybe what held us together has ruptured. We used to be known as friendly, tolerant, honest and kind people. This is what outsiders used to say about Ugandans. It distinguished us from other people's in Africa. I am not sure about today. We are divided and sometimes, it is difficult to honestly say, "I am proud to be Ugandan" because we do not know what it means to be Ugandan!
