In South-western Uganda, Ms Jolly Jackline Tukamushaba, 45, a resident of Kigara B Village in Kamwezi Sub-county, Rukiga District, was on January 10 picked up from her home at around 6.30pm by men driving a double Cabin pickup truck that took her to an unknown destination.
According to her daughter, Ms Patricia Ashaba, the mother had campaign posters of Mr Kyagulanyi inside their house and has been working as finance and administration officer at a local non-governmental organisation.
“It was at around 6.30pm when a pickup double cabin truck parked in our compound. I thought that they were our visitors, shortly my mother asked me to bring her clothes that were on the drying wire in the compound.”
Uganda’s Batwa community are highly vulnerable; they don’t own much land and often don’t have access to capital. They were one of the earliest residents of the Equatorial Forest – consisting of Uganda, Burundi, Rwanda and Democratic Republic of Congo – and are defined by their unique history of forest-dwelling and hunter-gatherer lifestyle.
Today, the 6,200 Batwa living in Uganda are mostly landless labourers. They often live as squatters on remote, hilly and isolated locations because they’ve been progressively marginalised and forced off their ancestral land. This started in the 1930s – when the British colonial government declared Uganda’s forests as “reserves” – and, later on, when some forested areas were cleared for agriculture.
