In this photo, Prof. Edward Rugumayo laughs as he listens to the journalist Andrew Mwenda during a conversation at Rugumayo's home in Fort Portal, western Uganda, on Good Friday, April 14, 2017.
Mwenda, a nephew to Rugumayo, was recounting the events that led to the ouster of President Yusufu Lule in June 1979.
Rugumayo was the Chairman of the National Consultative Council (NCC), the legislative body of the UNLF government that succeeded the military government of President Idi Amin in 1979.
He, along with Prof. Dani Wadada Nabudere, Prof. Yash Tandon and Omwony Ojwok, were dubbed the "Gang of Four" because of their ideological influence on the NCC and in the UNLF.
Rugumayo had been appointed Minister of Education in the first Amin government shortly after the Jan. 1971 military coup.
Listening in on the discussion is Princess Evelyn Komuntale, a Tooro royal who in 2017 founded a charity called Outreach to Africa to help disadvantaged children in Fort Portal.
