Uganda looks more developed in 1960s than 2021
Its disgusting to see what war does to the beauty of a country :/
@@defieee9387 war? I'd say it's Africans themselves
@@josephstalin8656 If Uganda looked more developed before years of dictatorships and war would you not say that it was those things that made an already impoverished nation look less developed today? Why blame the people when it's obviously not the people's fault.
@@defieee9387 yeah and that dictatorship was of an African, he expelled Indians, Asians and other Nationalities whom he balmed for the black poverty in Africa. Guess what, Ugandan economy crashed within a year. The thing is it's unfortunately very rare for a self governed African nation to come out as prosperous and not commit a genocide against a tribe. Look at South Africa, it's drowning in corruption and crime. I'm not defending the Apartheid, but the black majority government doesn't seem to be doing so well.
@@defieee9387 also look at Zimbabwe (or one can call Rhodesia), it was the bread basket of Africa, now it needs bread for its starting population
And it went downhill from there on
Why?
@@RIFLQ go take a look and see for yourself
@@sek153 I think Idi Amin is the good guy
@@RIFLQ I don't.
The British government left and the neocolonial Mafia took over
This is the time of Decolonization of Africa where every African countries become independent from foreign powers before dictators,civil wars and genocide happened after
independence is a myth , neo colonialism thrives
@@southsudani983 In that case get the old type back. It was better.
@@greggrimer1428 The reason alot of African countries right now are not doing well is because of colonialism itself.
exactly! this documentary looks like a prequel to "Africa Addio!"
@@Debilas2007 asia and america got over it pretty quick, they have no excuse
I get the same feeling of dread watching this as watching film of Europe in the 1930's.
yeo the sadness after you know whats transpired after......if only they knew.....
SAD.
This was half a century ago. Wow!!!
No 60 years
@@abdulrahmanalghamdi7037 -_-
Learn to count.
@@zerosaber257 Be specific, counting what? your brain cells? If what you mean is my projection in the number of decades, then okay.
@@abdulrahmanalghamdi7037 Okay
Look at how many Indians there were at the independence events... proud and optimistic about their country and the prospects of their community. Little did they know that in 10 years' time, they'd all be expelled and their property would be confiscated... followed by Uganda's complete economic collapse under Idi Amin.
Unfortunately they were kicked out because they treated Africans like crap, NOT because they were Indians
@@ekibirigeable yeah, treated them "like crap" by employing them gainfully and by developing and building the local economy. So much so that the whole economy collapsed right after they were forced out.
Proud of their country ? What the hell your talking about
@@phunkymonkieeur ill informed, they were horrible.
@@michellemirembe6057 if they were so horrible then why did life and prospects in Uganda become horrible and objectively much worse after they were expelled and the assets that they had built up were simply given away to others?
I watched this with tears in my eyes. We have retrogressed, rather than progress here in black Africa.
take heart, we are progressing somehow, its not all bleak
@@optimist-warmheart8291 The Chinese rule/run Africa now.
Play more sports 🤷
do you wish the British stayed?
Aki nimelia to see uganda was the heart of east and central Africa, but now we have abandoned our country because of failed economy and poverty oh God heal rise and prosper uganda again 😢😢😢😢
Watching this video seeing our we gained our Independence makes me so happy and I wish i was there during those times, am so so very proud of my country and so proud to a Uganda (AFRICA) 🇺🇬❤️
Yes but Uganda has a tattered past. Idi Amin was a brutal psychopath.
Agreed but I rather it was still a Colony if it meant that Insane Dictator didn't rule and ruin the Country
@@Constant_Of_Moralitythe colonials were worse dictators themselves
The calm before the storm. Sir Walter Coutts warned Obote about the danger of Idi Amin during the Independence Celebrations. Obote ignored his warnings.
@R T one or 2 failed presidents don't mean our country is incapable of self governance.
Black suffered under whites government .
@R T
It was the responsibility of the British to duly prepare them for self-governance.
They promoted amin because they wanted him to do their dirty games!
@Joshua张志鸿 Africa is a whole continent with different countries each with a different take on governance. My point is My country Uganda is capable of self governance under the right leadership. Honour is something we had long before colonisers came and imposed themselves on us.
The father of a friend of mine "mentored" Amin when he was first commissioned in 1961. Amin's wiki refers to his "hands on approach" to leadership. His mentor was clear - Amin was 'hands on', but only because he could hardly read.
ILLITERATE PRESIDENT & A DICTATOR.
United Kingdom "You are now free to grow how you see fit, we have shown you and helped you to this point"
Dictator "Okay, someone hold my beer"
Define "help".
@@JohnSmith-fd5un Built infrastructure, schools, established legal systems, a civil service, hospitals, didn't kick the Indians out at the first opportunity. I could go on...
@@Gilberto90
At whose convenience was the infrastructure built? You are going to rule a conquered country, would be foolish to not take care of it yourself, don't you think? Unless, they had advisors like you which would have made it easier to kick out the Brits.
@@JohnSmith-fd5un i agree. The Europeans never did anything that didnt benefit empire.
Dictator : Hold my kilt
Thank you for this sweet video. This was the most beautiful day for my country. Live long Uganda live long Britain.
ua-cam.com/video/gOOZvZHbvig/v-deo.html
it sad in after Uganda independence, arabs, indian and persian were kick out, there are backbone of uganda economy, same zanzibar when arab king and 100000 arabs, persian and indian-pakistani were masscare. the black sub-saharan become majority, afro-arab/mixed arabs still in zanzibar was ban to speak arabic, today only comoros.
That’s because it never belonged to you in any case. Independence also means independence from Arab Muslim economic colonisers. You would have tried (and were trying) to take it for yourselves.
@@iVenge then are blacks “economy” colonisers in America and Europe?
Exactly, blacks in America and Europe aren't, so why are the Arabs colonisers iVenge?
@@samwalsh8299 Of course not. Blacks were the colonised.
@@jk-gb4et Blacks have never been colonisers; they were used as a slave labour force. The Arabs were economic colonisers because they ran the economy of Uganda to the detriment of the indigenous people. Now the Chinese are doing both.
Britain, even though it committed abuses like most colonial powers, developed "well" its african colonies, France and Belgium on the other hand left their colonies in such a state of disorder and exploitation that they started their independence already lagging behind and in conflict.
France to this day still controls the commerce and currency of most West African nations, the recent events in Chad are just an example.
Agreed. Brits gave a lot in return for what they took. The French and Belgians just took.
France and belgium are disgusting countries.
@@syedmohammadaanasfarukh890 The British gave nothing back lol. Don't fall for imperialist propaganda.
Nah Britain was not different to France or Spain, those are just lies.
@@anthonyeugene1227 was somehow different look at former English colonies vs French colonies

Is this racism?
@@RIFLQ no he is not racist do you know the meme uganda knuckles
Memories are made of this . 👍👍 for sharing .🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬
This world is so much more enchanting than the world I find myself In now , I would do anything to go back a live in imperial times .
It seems utterly incredible doesn’t it! I’d love to live in those imperial times too, it’s a shame that they left our family of nations, it allowed corruption to seep in.
@@alastaircritchley4620 yes it is sad , all of our ancestors had died in vain , the white mans burden replaced by a burden to take the whole world in and give them everything . A great betrayal , you have your country and we will have ours is now you have your country and the whole world can have a part of ours . I don’t know if this resonates with you , but would love to keep the back and forth going .
@@codyholder4498 absolutely! There’s some interesting conversation to be had here that would otherwise be rather taboo
absolutely agree as a Nigerian, my grandma tells me all the time about how much nicer it was during the colonial times, British ruled Africa was truly a paradise compared to the corruption ridden cesspool it is now
You can't because time travel does not exist.
Instead of hoping that time reverses how about make things better in our time and for the future.
So grateful that Uganda brought to us : Pasta Ssempa, Pasta Male, and Pasta Boda Boda
I can't believe how many Indians and white were leaving there!
The Indian people were expelled by the idiot idi amin dada 10 8 1972. They were told leave or be murdered.
Ekitonviya Nabugero that time Ugandans where nothing Indians and whites where running the country 😡😡😡😡😡
@@hodanelmi2958 When Whites left all hope was lost for development , at least Indians somehow tried to setup economy and trade but they were expelled soon in 70s , Uganda loves to kick off literally everyone , now all foreigners are gone , they will kick out their opposite tribes , BYE BYE

Yeah we really appreciate it😌
@@glenmalesa8902 not being rude but Uganda is a super place been there twice,, the country should be booming for everyone. Bobby Wine was a star in uk media for only a short while.

Theft
She shouldn't have been doing that in the first place, now look at us Africans we are so whitewashed yuck 🤢
If I could go back in time this would be the time, I would want to go back to. To experience Uganda, getting its independence is, something I truly cherish. I watch the live youtube broadcast of the celebration of Ugandan Independence, every year, on the 9 October.
Very well recorded video and very well explained....thanks.
The dream lasted four years… until democracy was destroyed.
We miss this Uganda again.
"It was better while we waited, we have killed our past and are busy killing the present, now we have nothing to look forward to" the words of Mosese in F. Mbuga's Betrayal in the City. ( Does this apply to ug?)
Kabisa
Great Job, wonderful...
The pearl of Africa.
Never mind Joseph Kony is still in the woods 'fighting for independence' of Uganda.
Wow so beautiful Uganda 🇺🇬
It is the eeriest moment; a lull before the storm and devastation which follows!😢
Uganda is now at 60 🇺🇬🙏🏾🫶🏾
The water was so clean and clear too
The kabaka is a Sir, has 4 english and 4 African names. mazza
Uganda was very beautiful and clean those years
Countries which gained independence at about the same time are now far more advanced.
Fascinating
Heeeyyyyy
True dear
Uganda Wins Independence in 1962...and they lived happily-ever-after.
The End.
The Ugandan Askaris look well turned out. In those olden days, there were standards, higher standards than of today. If only we could turn back the hands of ⏲
I went volunteering in Uganda in 2013 and let me tell you it’s gone down hill since Britain left, very run down and dangerous.
So you think Uganda was better under British colonialism??
Africa to africans,
@@charles6623 I dunno, is Britain better under Ugandan colonialism?
Yeah because those carefully selected stadiums, parks and government buildings in the video were representative of the ENTIRE the country in the 1960s.
And now Britain is contributing to its collapse
Is dis de wae
Leonard Idi Amin says so!
Idi Amin doesn't know da wae
Is dis racism?
@@RIFLQ No. It is da wae.

Lots of Asians in this film who would be expelled by Amin, later. I remember in the 70's, when I was a kid, here in UK, all the shops shut at 5 in the eve and on a Sunday they only opened for a couple of hours to sell the newspapers. When Asian shopkeepers moved in during this time, shops began to open 24/7, these people revolutionised retailing in this country and gave us the service that we expect as normal today. Young people today dont know how bad it was back then, when everything shut down at 5 in the evening, you could not get anything. The Asian shopkeepers were a revolution and they still are.
Why was the government house moved from Entebbe to Kampala?
Confusion of da highest ordah!
Its because Entebbe was small compared to Kampala
The distance between these two places is just 40 KMS only
Lanre Oladejo Entebbe is one small town surrounded by Lake Victoria. Not much room for expansion
The president house is still in Entebbe.
British are really honoured nation. I admire their good will to leave nations independent and free.
Difficult to build schools and hospitals everywhere
Yeah tell that to Ireland
The destroy everything 😏
Uganda hold it so careful they never fought like other nations as well
You know these independence ceremonies are quite fascinating! I happened upon the Hong Kong changeover ceremony by accident in 1997. Though that wasn't exactly by choice.
O que a conheceu com a pathe a primeira indústria cinematografica do mundo de produzir documetarios em filme de curta metragem, então foi dai que surgiu a internacional geográfica Discovery , BBC.
Hurts to realise that at independence, Uganda was way ahead of Singapore. Today, she doesn't even compare.
We r now having a president who have ruled Uganda 🇺🇬 for more than a century
The camera was on point . The video is more like was taken yesterday
Wao beautiful!
With much respect to our dear, Queen Elizabeth of England we need yr help to free Ugandans from the hands of refugees from Rwanda, museveni and his batunsi people which came in Uganda as refugees bit right now after getting power in 1982 in war were museveni killed thousands of Ugandans. Now is 36years while this dectater is building batunsi dynasty in Uganda, in a mission of taking Uganda from the people of Uganda,
😂 😂 😂 but Ugandans. Let the country sink abazukulu balizimba but stop calling upon Queen Elizabeth
Interesting how Uganda never violently resisted, they just made a request for independence, unlike many other African countries.
Uganda was only a protectorate not a colony, The British government ruled Uganda indirectly through sharing powers with the local leadership like Kabaka (King) of Buganda kingdom. It's the 1900 Buganda agreement that sealed an alliance between the two countries. So the locals were directly ruled by their own kings and chiefs, and the latter were accountable by the British government. That's why Ugandans didn't form rebellious groups to fight for their freedom or independence. It was done diplomatically on request.
So proud of Uganda 🇺🇬…..
When the British left unfortunately the tribes went back to fighting each other again.
Queen Elizabeth was still young and shining....even our kabaka....
were these videos shown at the time in britain's theatres and cinemas?

kemerdekaan bukan diberikan dan diminta tapi direbut dan diperjuangankan sampai mati. MERDEKA ATAOE MATI
2:31 im surprised that they Didn't show middle finger😂😂
history!!!!
Till today ,the Ugandan doesn't want to point out who was the first black African who raised the Ugandan flag from the British? It's an Acholi man from Kitgum, and he still living as of today
Life full of hope by then
Interesting to see Uganda in the good old days wow !!!
5:43 These loyal Indians are expelled from Uganda later on by Idi Ameen.
Independence or sovereignty? Which is it?
History 🙏🙏
I’m a very posh narrator and I’m going to pronounce the kings names as badly as possible.
Past is gold
And they moved so forward after colonialism. Thanks Idi.
I bet if any of the people who were present today are still living
Idi amin : Hello Guys , I want to take part will ya!
Happy independence Uganda!
The old lady at 2:46 looks young except for her grey hair
But how did you get this video
That went dark fast
My homeland
I see my grandfather in this video 😍😍😍
The Independence day of Uganda reminds us of our great freedom fighters who sacrificed and struggled their lives in order to free our Uganda from the British rule. It commemorates the courage, spirit and persistence of the freedom fighters who fought for the independence of uganda. But it also represents the core of our beliefs, the very makeup of our identity as Ugandans ruling ourselves, having the choices of our future in our hands, we blame ourselves for anything not the whites.
Uganda is suffering from oppression by Museveni, his one of us in case his a Ugandan! Independence marks the first day of self governance of people of that country, politically because politics determines the economic and the social well being of a nation, the choice was in our hands either we chose good or bad governance. The problem is our politics and politicians not Independence
So says Idi Amin.
We can get a Uganda as organised as it was prior to independence, I bet on that
2:52. What a name, "Sir Edward William Frederick David Walugembi Mutabi Luangula Mutasa II" Dang son.
And the last day of British rule was the last day of freedom & peace for Ugandans!
This is the beginning of 'confusion of the highest orda'😂
Tiger Mafia ❤️commondo😁
Teach me more about Uganda I never met people from Uganda but I met people from Kenya 100% Kenyans. I know Kenya, Tanzania , & Uganda speaks swahili How many tribes Uganda have?
Queen was Gorgeous 😻 manshallah
Watching thi s video on independence day 2023
Two things were there....and unfortunately we missed both of them.
Firstly Africa would have been far better off without being colonized.
Secondly, we could have survived much better without independence.
Summary, they shouldn't have come and having come, they shouldn't have left.
You don't pacify a child with what he can't handle.
Long live Uganda
