April 1979 - The Invasion That Went Wrong - Abandon

April 1979 - The Invasion That Went Wrong - Abandon Army Issues: Military uniforms and pictures of the Life President lie discarded under a tree. The war between Tanzania and Uganda continues to rage on with the initiative still with the Tanzanians backed by Uganda exiles and supporters of ex-President Obote. One marked aspect of the war has been the lack of information emerging from either side. The Long war with Tanzania has backfired on Amin and his followers, Kakwas, Nubians and Anyanyas and few pure Ugandan opportunists. The war started with the mutinies in a few military units in the Chui Regiment, Gulu, where about 60 soldiers were killed with the excuse that they were robbers. The same thing happened in Mbale, Malire, Mbarara, Masindi and Tororo. These mutinies occured because of lack of food and the delay in payment of salaries for over two months.
