Uganda's first PM dies aged 80
Milton Obote, Uganda’s first prime minister and who served twice as the country’s president, was remembered today as an outstanding leader by some Ugandans, while others said that they would not mourn a man held responsible for the deaths of as many as 500,000 people.
Henry Mayega, secretary-general of the Ugandan People’s Congress, said Obote, 80, died yesterday in a Johannesburg hospital. He had been living in self-imposed exile in Zambia. No funeral arrangements have been announced as yet.
