The trek dubbed ‘Africa Kwetu’ is aimed at highlighting the sacrifice of freedom fighters that ushered this government into power in 1986 after the liberation war.

Evens promoter Balaam is these days closer to the President than his bdyguards.

Museveni addressed a congregation of hundreds of participants about the objectives of the liberation war before setting off for the trek and why this walk is so important to recognise the effort put in to see to it that Ugandans get peace.

“You are walking for two reasons; Education purposes, and to know what exactly the NRA fighters went through, so we can learn to respect and appreciate them more,” Museveni said in his address.
