Politics were often turbulent in African
countries in the period leading to their
independence in the
1950s
and beyond. But
for Ugandans and the Colonial Administration
alike, this was a time of hope and optimism
-
though fears for the future of the Westminister
Model , nurtured so carefully by the Colonial
Administration, were never absent. Already
there were dark clouds of future tragedy over the
neighbouring Congo and Rwanda.
Patrick Walker, who was a District Officer in
the region, draws on his vivid personal experience
to illustrate both the hope and tragedy
ofthat
tempestuous time. Posted to Uganda in
1956,
he
served in both the Eastern and Western Provinces.
His first experience of national politics was the
General Election of
1958
and he played a leading
role in organising and supervising subsequent
elections including, in his district, the Election
of
1962.
However, despite an apparently tranquil march
to independence and statehood, Uganda was not
to escape Africa s turmoil. Independence in the
Congo brought a flood of Belgian refugees into
Uganda in
I960,
followed by the
Tutsis -
the
former dominant group in Rwanda
-
fleeing the
Hutu majority even before Rwanda s independence
in
1962.
All these different groups had to be
received and administered, and Patrick Walker
takes the reader ro the heart of rhese tragedies
-
with ominous warnings of future ethnic and
tribal conflict.
This is an important memoir which will be of
the greatest possible interest to historians of Africa
and the British Empire as well as of Uganda itself.
Patrick Walker caught the African bug in early
boyhood in Kenya and after Oxford and the
Devonshire course for the Overseas Civil Service,
he served in Uganda from
1956
to
1963.
On
leaving the Colonial Service he joined MI5 where
he was Director-General from
1988
to
1992.
