The power struggle pits General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, the commander of the armed forces, against General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, the head of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a paramilitary group.

When Kintu died, his officials did not want to make this public , in fear that this might cause political instability all over buganda kingdom. This forced them to burry kabaka Kintu secretly at Nnono, and the officials claimed that the king (kabaka) had disappeared. After some time, the officials chose Ccwa, one of Kintu’s sons to become king in his father’s place. Ccwa had only one son called Kalemeera. Kalemeera was only a young boy by the time his father ascended the throne. As he became older, Kalemeera began to understand the significance of the story that his grandfather Kintu had disappeared. He became immersed in thoughts  that Ccwa his father might also disappear in the same way. Thus Kalemeera began following his father around everywhere he went, fearful of letting him out of his sight.

So he answered the messengers, 'Rest tonight and tomorrow you shall take my blood to your master.' That night Isaza met with his Councill...
