Today, 3st June 2022, is a holiday in Uganda known as Martyrs' day. This day commemorates the execution of 22 Catholic and 23 Anglican Christian converts in the Buganda Kingdom between 1885 and 1887, on the orders of Mwanga II, the reigning King of Buganda at the time. The irony of this commemoration is that it sort of vilifies King Mwanga II for protecting his people against the influences of a foreign religion while sympathizing with a group whose actions would destroy his community. Arguably, had Christianity been nipped in the bud at this point, maybe colonization would have had fewer avenues to transgress the cultural ways of his community. Stretching the same reasoning, it is possible that the Baganda would have remained grounded in their culture much longer, averting the aids epidemic that very nearly wiped the entire country in the 80s and 90s. Maybe the Martyrs' day should celebrate the heroic stance of King Mwanga II rather than lament the deserved fate of a few dozen deviants.

Upus. There were Muslims present who didn't get the same treatment. Relax with the agenda.

The new tactic of the agenda includes linking past African kingdoms, Kings, rulers, and heroes to the practice. Search the internet and you will find all sorts of false claims, including one about the Mau Mau and ancient Egypt. Africa, being the most resistant continent, has presented the biggest headache to the agenda. They did not expect such resistance in a continent that easily adopts foreign practices.

We will never ever. In any case 'Western Civilisation' is in decline. In the next century the strongest and most influential countries will be in Asia and Africa. We will prevail.
