THE KAGERA WAR: Facing naked Ugandan women on the front line
What you need to know:
In Part 4 of our Kagera War series, we bring you the account of 69-year-old Colonel Steven Isaac Mtemihonda, a retired Tanzania People’s Defence Forces (TPDF) officer, who not only commanded the 14th Battalion of 203 Brigade during the 1978/79 Liberation War, but also helped train Uganda’s new national army, UNLA, after the fall of dictator Idi Amin. He was later hired as a military expert by the NRM government charged with training the then NRA and later, the UPDF. The Citizen reporter based in Kampala, Henry Lubega, caught up with him at the TPDF’s Msasani Beach Club in Dar es Salaam.
