 You're welcome back to the Breakfast on Plus TV Africa. It's now time to go back in time and we're going to the year 2015 on this state history June 18 when an explosive device accidentally detonated killing about 18 vigilantes and injuring about 53 others. So what happened on this day in history was that a health official and vigilantes who were helping the military against Boko Haram you know you know they picked up this one of the vigilantes picked up this you know device and they were taking it back to the town of Mongolia in Buenos States from a military operation in Marte and a chief you know medical director at the Medjugorje specialist hospital in Buenos capital said 13 people had been killed you know 53 were injured you know it was just unfortunate that it just picked up this explosive device brought it back to Mogulu and it accidentally exploded basically killing people and injuring others and we know that back then 2015 it doesn't seem like such a you know distant time but we saw that Boko Haram and their you know insurgency and the tactics involved you know using bombs detonating bombs you know suicide bombs as well suicide bombers to you know inflicts injury you know on people people especially in market places but this one was just purely an accident you know they picked up this device it accidentally detonated and people lost their lives that was really really really really sad we'll also go back to history in 1894 the Uganda protectorate was established and the territory was extended beyond the borders of Boganda to an area that roughly corresponds to the present day of Uganda let me just give you a bit of a background to that particular story right now in the mid 1880s the kingdom of Uganda was divided between four religious factions adherents of Uganda's native religion that's the Catholics the Protestants and the Muslims each vying for political control in 1888 Mwanga II was ousted in a coup led by the Muslim faction who installed Kalemah as the leader the following year a Protestant and Catholic coalition formed to remove Kalemah and return Mwanga II to power this coalition secured an alliance with the imperial british east africa company and succeeded in Austin Kalemah and reinstated Mwanga in 1890 the IBEAC sent Frederick Lugar to Uganda in 1890 as its chief representative and to help maintain the peace between the competing factions in 1891 Mwanga concluded a treaty with Lugar whereby Mwanga would place his land and tributary state under the protection of the IBEAC in 1892 having subdued the Muslim faction the Protestants and Catholics resumed their struggle for supremacy which led to civil war that same year the british government extended their support for the IBEAC to remain in Uganda and of course on the 18th of June 1894 the british government declared that Uganda would come under British protection as a protectorate so yes um 19 1894 1894 and now we know that uh in 1962 the United Kingdom got independence to Uganda so that's all we have for you on today's history uh we'll take a break here and return to our first major conversation of the day
