UNVEILED!! Here’s How Bobi Wine’s Uncle Died While Saving President Museveni During The Bush War

Examining the ongoing rivalry between National Unity Platform (NUP) leader Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, commonly known as Bobi Wine, and President Yoweri Museveni, it may seem like this tension has existed for generations.

However, the relationship between Kyagulanyi’s family and the current regime was once amicable, dating back to the early 1980s when President Museveni was leading a rebellion against the Obote II government.

The late Maj. Gen Wasswa Kasirye Gwanga asserted that Bobi Wine’s father supported the rebels by providing them with food—a claim confirmed by Bobi Wine’s elder brother, Eddy Yawe Ssentamu.

In a recent interview with Watchdog Uganda, Eddy Yawe, a renowned musician, recounted the remarkable sacrifices his family made for Uganda, emphasizing that the efforts made under NUP/People Power represent only a fraction of their contributions.

According to Yawe, their grandfather, Joseph Walakira, was killed during the war after surrendering their ranch in Gomba district, along with over a thousand cattle, to NRA combatants. In addition to his father, Mzee Jackson Willington Ssentamu, who faced persecution under the Obote II regime for his ties to the guerrillas, Yawe revealed that another uncle paid for his allegiance to President Museveni with his life.

Yawe recounted that regime intelligence had learned of some NRA rebels, possibly including the current leader, Museveni, visiting his late uncle Daniel Mukasa’s home one evening in late 1983. Mukasa refused to disclose the visitors’ whereabouts but instructed them to hide in the ceiling while he confronted the soldiers.

Despite Mukasa’s denial, Obote II soldiers insisted on searching the house, convinced that rebels were present. Observing Mukasa’s fear, they were convinced he was hiding something.After a fruitless search and intimidation, Mukasa faced a grim choice: surrender the rebels or face death.

Choosing silence, he tacitly accepted the latter.Sergeant Sokolo, a renowned soldier in Gomba, ordered Mukasa’s hands tied behind his back and personally ended his life by piercing his neck with a sharp knife, resulting in instant death.

Eddy Yawe emphasized that his family’s history of sacrifices for a better Uganda motivates their continued dedication to working alongside other change-seeking Ugandans to remove Museveni from power and usher in a new era of democracy.

“We are here to carry on the legacy of our ancestors who strived tirelessly for a better country. That’s why we will persist in our fight, despite the resistance from the regime,” he declared.
