In part 1, we showed you an important Mayombo part of Mayombos character, that he was very brilliant but also rebellious and questioning authority. In Part 2, we showed how this proud independent minded man was given humiliating and degrading work as Musevenis ADC. Now part 3 brings you some of the essential people who Mayombo needed to achieve his biggest plan which was a coup against Museveni.

Last year around Christmas you might remember the rumour in Kampala that Okwir Rwabwoni the younger brother of Mayombo was back in town? Okay, Okwir left the UK were he had been in exile since 2001. He flew to Rwanda with his wife then after some days he flew to Uganda.

Okwir was on a mission. He had been called back by Mayombo to do a special mission.

Mayombo wanted Okwir to go to Uganda to get active again in politics. He wanted his brother to connect again with FDC. Mayombo knew that FDC with its Besigye was the winner of the elections of 2006. He was aware that FDC commands a big following and he saw the demonstrations it could call in Kampala.

So Okwirs task was to sell Mayombo to FDC as a moderate who is a good boy but working for a bad system and he is only doing his job. Mayombo was not saying he was going to join FDC but he wanted FDC to see him as a guy who is not all that bad although he is working for a bad system. Recently we heard FDC president Besigye describing Mayombo in a similar way, that he was a good person who was used by a bad system. Maybe this is Besgyes own opinion, but that is one of the major tasks Okwir was assigned to do when he came back. You will know why he had to make peace with FDC soon in our coming reports.

Fast forward. Mayombo was now in charge of Museveni's personal security and he moved and phased out PGB boys who were loyal to Muhoozi who was under house arrest when Mayombo took over.

He removed boys loyal to M7 and redeployed them in other units of the PGB. He took over planning M7's routes and movements. When Ugandans were talking about the Kayiira report and demonstrating you could not hear the voice of Mayombo. He was quiet but very busy with his own plans.

Muhoozi was deployed to Kasese to command the PGB as it was fighting the ADF forces. That is why people were asking that where is Muhoozi and he was lost from Kampala. Mayombo also checked the PGB command structure and he inspected the armoury, he went to where the PGB train at Kasenyi on Kampala-Entebbe road. He went on a familiarization tour of PGB generally. He was entitled to do this as he was now as the leader. But what we are saying is there was more than just normal inspection going on.

He took interest in the specialized weapons units of the PGB like artillery in particular. Mayombo had a plan which nobody knew. He had decided to take his chances and overthrow Museveni and his regime. If you have read part 1 and part 2 of the Mayombo story and you know that the man was leading strikes in school and at university, you see that his ambition could not stop at being a P.S in the ministry of Defence. And it was made even worse to be the one to tie Museveni's shoelaces and even bathe him!

If you heard what Mayombo's father Rev Rwabwoni said at Kololo Airstrip, he said that his children are "crazy". In actual fact the old man himself also speaks his mind freely without caring who is hearing as if he has a small wire which is loose.

Mayombo and Okwir are not boys you can say would take anything lying down. One day in his NRA days, Okwir annoyed the director of Military Intelligence Major Paul Kagame so much that Kagame wanted to have him shot by firing squad. But after this incident, when Kagame started the Rwanda war, the stubborn Okwir defected from the NRA and joined Kagame's RPA to fight for freedom for the Banyarwanda to go home.

So these boys were "crazy" and could not accept to be ruled as slaves as M7 was doing.

Mayombo did some intelligence and in fact was chief of CMI so he knew how to look for people to work with. He saw some two guys who were in PGB but marginalized.

As you know among our leaders, Museveni has been the most tribalist and sectarian. He says he fights sectarianism but don't listen and just believe. We all know he can have a sweet tongue but look also deeply at what he does and not just what he says. Ugandas de-facto, real army is the Presidential Guard Brigade (PGB). It can be compared to Saddams(RIP) Revolutionary Guard. But the PGB is made of mostly people from one tribe, the Bahima. That is not by accident because the first family comes from that tribe too. Ugandans from other places are just there as "abalebesi" or beggars. This shows you how backward and primitive the Musevenis regime is.

It is so bad that in PGB, during work members use their local language Runyankore without any problem. Remember that in Ugandas army starting from the beginning in 60's, they always use Swahili to try and make it an ethnic free place. It doesn't matter where you come from or your social status, they all speak Swahili. But in Musevenis personal army the PGB they are not interested in such nationalistic things.

The result is that the non-Bahima who are in the PGB are ignored and marginalized. Because tribe is the important thing, and not your brains or ability, a person from another tribe has a very small chance of advancing very far in their military career.

If one is racist or sectarian they create more problems for themselves. Because your race or tribe is the main criteria used to get people, then people do not have to do anything else like work hard or actually be good at security. After all just by being born, they have already fulfilled the main condition which is of tribe. So in the end something which should be very professional like the PGB is intead used as a job agency. people get their cousins, brothers and relatives and just dump them there. Many of then turn out to be lazy incompetent and unsuitable for the job even if they train so hard. In fact during the MiG-21 training in 2002 or 2003, Museveni pushed a lot of Bahima boys into the program so they would be pilots but they could not handle and that is why you don't see them as pilots.

The side-effect is that people who are capable and brilliant are usually from the "wrong" tribes. Sendegeya and Egesa are a good example of this. So there was an artillery specialist Captain Nelson Sendegeya who was a Muganda by tribe and there was another guy in charge of the interceptor missiles of PGB called Egesa a Muteso. These boys were well trained but they were treated like houseboys by the PGB guys who are Banyankole. Mayombo played into that feeling of being alienated by the system they served. It is common knowledge that Sendegeya was a good engineer and well trained even in Israel and other places to shoot missiles accurately.

At State House Nakasero there are what are called interceptor missiles. They are there to shoot down any missile which may come the way of Nakasero from the sky. The officer in charge of the interceptor missiles was Egesa.

So Mayombo made friends with these two guys Sendegeya and Egesa and he secretly gave them good allowances to look after their families. He did not meet them together but he met them one by one alone. These secret meetings went on for at least a good three months.

We have got it from several different sources and we are piecing it together. For you Ugandans to know what happened really to Museveni's blue-eyed boy.

What Mayombo told Egesa and Sendegeya we shall get to in part 4 of this story of the Mayombo coup.
