Luwero Triangle-The Hot Bullet Zone

By Sydney's Guard

"Hello comrades, I think it is time for us to embark on our journey. We have to climb that mountain in front of us before the sun can be so hot." One of the leaders said in a loud voice. The rest of the group started getting up. Women started swinging their babies onto their backs, tying them up and lifting their bags to their heads. Some babies that had fallen asleep started crying. But it was time to move on...that is what you do in the midst of war. What would happen next, God only knew... "This is a true story about how I experienced terror, as a child, during the 'Museveni/Obote' war in the 1980s in my home village Makokoto which is in the Luwero triangle zone.  It is highlighting the experiences many war victims go through. With the many wars going on around the world, this story opens eyes to the masses about the atrocities which many oppressors commit against the oppressed but go untold. It is a memorable personal story which I can easily retell even on waking me up early in the morning". Join Sydney's Guard on a true story of experiencing the Ugandan bush war in the mid 1980s. Interlaced with life lessons and songs of horror and hope. Once you start reading you won't be able to stop until the end!

DEDICATION

I dedicate this ebook to my late parents, Raphael Lubega & Natalia Nakasawe.

There is a whole lot we never get to learn and never get to understand in life. At the time when I was in London studying for my Diploma in Pop Music Performance-Vocals I received the news that my mother had passed on. So much came back to me in my mind. Remembering all that we used to share and how she bid me farewell, I wish you all the luck but you may come back when some of us are already gone.

All that was inspirational for my writing of the song, Wonder Life

Then to my children Emma & Ann Rose, I love you more than you will ever understand it. You inspire me to think harder!

My entire family and friends who have been there for me. My success will be your success too!

Thank you so much!

Sydney's Guard

SONG: WONDER LIFE

Verse 1

I wake up each morning wondering

Why am I here!

I sit up thinking asking

Who am I now?

Is this the right way to go?

Who cares if I hang?

Bridge 1

I watch life glide me its way

My strong fight is weak I let go

Chorus

Wonder life, where are you from?

Wonder life, where do you
