Today marks exactly 23 years since the passing of Gen. Chefe Ali aka Eriya Mwine, former Chief of Staff UPDF (1996-1998).
It was Chefe Ali who recruited his schoolmate, Emmanuel Gisa, the man many would come to know as Fred Rwigyema./1

Together with 26 others, they secretly left Uganda in 1976 to undergo military training in Tanzania & Mozambique under the guidance of @FRELIMONLINE.

But war soon broke out in 1981 against the new Obote regime as various forces took up arms. One of these outfits, UNLF-Anti Dictatorship,set up a military base in the Rwenzori mountains with 55 men & 16 guns with Chefe Ali, Prof E. Rugumayo, Lt. J. Nasasira & others as leaders./3

I used to love sharing this, on #Frelimo and #SamoraMachel, but a friend told me of the darker side of the struggle. Lives are lost! May they all rest In Eternal Peace

While the Mulungushi club & Frontline States did their bit, the number 1 warrior in Africa's total liberation & number 1 Frontline state, was Fidel CASTO and CUBA!
He turned the tide in The Battle of Cuito Cuanavale. Let me share a video

A thread about Scotland, solidarity against dictatorship, and the connection between Chilean fascism and the disaster of Brexit. π§βπ΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ Ώπ»π³π¨π±#NaePasaran #StopFascism #Brexit #ToriesOut #solidarity #history
I recently saw the extraordinary film βNae Pasaranβ, a powerful, deeply moving story of Scottish workers standing up to the fascist dictatorship in Chile in the 1970sβ¦ π€βπ΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ Ώπ»π³π¨π± #NaePasaran #StopFascism #solidarity #Scotland #Chile @debasersfilms @naepasaran
One day in March 1974, an engineer at the Rolls Royce plant in East Kilbride, near Glasgow, noticed that there were Chilean aircraft engines in the production line, waiting to be refurbished. They were from Hawker Hunter jets owned by the Chilean Air Force. πβπ΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ Ώπ»π³ #Scotland
For your convenience, a curated selection of historical evidence proving that the Tory Party must be *destroyed* to save the country... πβπͺπΊπ»π³π¦ (thread of threads) #ToriesOut #history #crooks #JohnsonMustGo #COVID19
(1) We have been lumbered with the most wretchedly awful βprime ministerβ in history, largely because of our insane class system... π βπͺπΊπ»π³ #ToriesOut #JohnsonMustGo #revolting #liars
(2) Tory racism runs deep... Even the βniceβ Tories often harbour revolting views. This woeful example leapt out the archives when I was reading @renireni... π³ #ToriesOut #JohnsonMustGo #racism #ToryShambles #COVID19 π¦
OK. I try to be a reasonable guy. But let me get this straight. An incumbent political party pays a retired foreign spy to gather op research, then dresses up that op research as official intel to authorize surveillance of folks in the opposing party. Did I miss anything? (1)
I remember Watergate. I was in high school but I followed it closely. This is way worse that Watergate. The only thing worse would be to hire someone to gather op research on a foreign head of state, then dress it up as intel, and use that intel to go to war. Y'all hear me? (2)
And to add insult to injury, the mainstream media, a major political party, law enforcement and intel agencies, and in a word, a big number of institutions think this type behavior is OK. WTF, y'all? What have we become? Did people struggle and die for this?
