One of the most evil was this Lieutenant who was in charge of quelling dissent in the army. Before he joined the army, he had been a gatekeeper at nyanza Textile Industries, where Kisajja(Henry Kyemba's brother) was personnel manager. At the time of the coup, he commandeered a tank with which he shot up the entrance to the Entebbe airport terminal, killing two priests. After the coup he headed Amin's execution gangs, with unlimite power to execute anybody in the army, even officers senior to him His modes of execution are as atrocious as anything imaginable. he is fond of disemboweling. Along with several other officers, he is known to have executed his victims by having them run over by tank. But perhaps the grisliest episode concerned Francis Walugembe, who had previously been Mayor of Masaka. In September 1972, Walugembe was arrested, had his genitals cut off and was paraded through the streets before being killed and dismembered. So violent and brutal is Malyamungu that even Amin once commented to me that he feared he might be going mad.
A Zairean.
Damn!!! this guy was a lunatic.
ReplyDeleteYou forgot to mention that he was a Zairean Kakwa. He wasn't even a bonafide Ugandan.
ReplyDeletePoint me in the right direction for research on this guy. I am not Ugandan.
ReplyDeleteChali Flani, I think Isaac Malyamungu is dead. He is believed to have died in the 1979 war that toppled Idi Amin.
ReplyDeleteAlso check up on the writings of someone called Timothy Kalyegira. He has very good information on the people who served during the regime of Idi Amin, including Malyamungu.
No he never finished the war he ran away and died in Drc in 1980
DeleteSure?
DeleteWhere did notorious Isaac Malyamungu come to an end?
ReplyDeleteCongo drc bro he was a zairean kakwa
DeleteThat notorious goon did a lot of live executions. i remember one time when Amin asked him to murder all soldiers from acholi region. He tricked them by parading them before a mamba hiding soldiers inside. he started by saying to them "comrades, we have asked u to parade here because we want to teach u more defense skills..........". there he disappeared and the hidden battalian inside the lorry short at all of them dead.
ReplyDeleteIdi Amin s regime was a tragedy to ugandans but on the other hand it made uganda very poppular especially mad people like Malyamungu and Bob Astles.YOS LANIE BANKS
