Post subject: THE RISE AND FALL OF GENERAL IDI AMIN OF LADO : PART I |
 |
|
THE RISE AND FALL OF THE HATED GENERAL IDI AMIN OF LADO TO POWER IN UGANDA AND OF THE EVENTS THAT LED TO THE DECLARED " PROTRACTED UGANDA WAR ON LADO FROM 1978 / 79 TILL TODATE " LEAVING STILL UGANDA UNDER THE BRITISH SOVEREGNITY TO COLONISE LADO KINGDOM
A BRIEF HISTORY NOTE AS A FOLLOW UP TO PARTS II AND III OF THE RISE AND FALL OF GENERAL IDI AMIN :
In 1890 Britain leased the LADO ENCLAVE (Sudan) to King Leopold of Belgium, in return for a corridor betwee n Lake Albert Edward and Lake Tanganyika ), in the so-called MACKINNON TREATY - in an attempt to link up the Cape to Cairo railway (connected by steamer across Lake Tanganyika). Germany protested against this arrangement; the treaty never was ratified.
In 1908, the Lado Enclave, which in fact never before had been under British administration, but as forming part of the Nile Basin was within British territorial claim, "reverted" to British rule and was, for the most part, administratively incorporated into the Sudan (1910), as were parts of Ugandan territory (Gondokoro); only the southern tip of the Lado Enclave was integrated into Uganda.
