Who was still killing and robbing Ugandans after Amin fell?

For the first time, a senior government official put a name to the people or organisation behind the murders and a possible reason they were being orchestrated.
On July 12, 1979, President Binaisa met a number of doctors from Mulago Hospital, the main national referral hospital located in Kampala.

The meeting took place at State House, Entebbe. The doctors had a heartbreaking story to tell the president.
Dr James G. S. Makumbi, the Medical Superintendent of Mulago, told the Uganda Times in an interview that the killings of prominent Ugandans by unknown gunmen had now entered a new phase, with some doctors having been killed in Kampala.

The following day, July 13, Binaisa flew to Havana, Cuba, to attend the Non-Aligned Movement summit.
A statement read over Radio Uganda said, “In his [Binaisa’s] absence, Mr Yoweri Museveni will be responsible for all government affairs.”

On July 15, three Mulago employees, the Assistant Security Officer, Samuel Katumwa, and two ward maids were walking back home from duty that Thursday night when they were shot dead by unknown gunmen.

That was when doctors at Mulago decided to go on strike.
In a statement the doctors said they would not return to work until the government addressed the security situation in the country.

On Wednesday night July 18, 1979, armed men went to the home of Dr Jack Barlow, along Akii-Bua Road in the Nakasero residential district of Kampala and shot him dead. He was the brother of the Inspector General of Police, David Barlow.

On July 20, Betty Mugerwa, Namugayi Muganwa and two young children Eddie Ddiba and Mary Clare Mugerwa, were shot dead by unknown gunmen.

On July 23, the home of the Chief Registrar of the High Court, Matthias Sendegeya, was attacked. A one Kalebu who resided in the house was stabbed to death by the attackers.

The assailants, when offered money and other possessions, said: “We have come to kill and not to rob.” On July 26, Dr Abuden Obace of Mulago Hospital was shot dead at his home along Malcolm X Avenue in Kololo, in Kampala, along with a relative, Olut, who was a student at the Veterinary Training Institute in Entebbe.

Narrating the ordeal, a visitor to the Obace home, Margaret Abeja, said, “They asked me whether I recognised them and when I declined to answer, they retorted, ‘We are members of the movement and we are on a mission. We have killed the person we wanted.” (Uganda Times, July 28, 1979)

The killers had told Margaret Abeja that they were “members of the movement”, thus confirming what the Interior minister Paulo Muwanga had told the July 10 press conference.

The wave of killings was orchestrated by an entity that called itself a movement or “the movement.” Could there be a clue in that?

On July 26, Wilson Magale Wobudubire was shot dead at home along William Street in Kampala.
The murder of Dr Barlow, apart from being a deeply personal tragedy, got the Inspector General of Police, David Barlow, thinking even more intensely about the violence that had engulfed Uganda since Amin’s fall.

The director-general of the newly formed National Security Service (NSS), the intelligence agency that replaced the State Research Centre (or Bureau as it is most commonly known), James Nasimolo, was a former GSU intelligence agent in the 1960s.

Nasimolo and other top NSS directors like Amon Bazira and Musoke Mutesarira wondered about this violence.
The director of Military Intelligence in the UNLA in 1979, Capt. Francis Agwa, had like Bazira and Nasimolo been a GSU agent in the 1960s.
