The kadogo’s and the fall of Munteme village
Boom. Boom. We had a very loud bang. It was way back in 1985. I was a small boy of about 6 years, but the events are vivid in my permanent memory.

Once in a while, get out…

Bang. Bang. I woke up suddenly to two loud noises in succession. Time check, 1:45 am 15th May 2022. Very terrible hour. This time we were at our village home in Munteme, Kikuube district. When you suddenly jump out of deep sleep, you behave like a zombie in the first two minutes, as the mind tries to process what could be happening. However, after our ordeal at our Kampala home, when the thieves visited in the dead of the night, on 10th May 2022, we are learning to stay alert. The luxury of deep sleep is slowly being taken away.…
