Yoweri Kaguta Museveni Ordre des livres (chronologique)

Sowing the Mustard Seed is a story of unflinching bravery. It is the story of unwavering search for a true, revolutionary and development-oriented leadership. The Ugandan President takes the reader on a tell-all journey of the sacrifice that he and other young Ugandans decided to take in order to liberate their country from the jaws of helplessness to which the first post-independence governments had conspired to consign it. In this spell-binding tale, told in the first-person voice, Yoweri Kaguta Museveni traces the journey of his life from his first few months on earth, through his education, after which he and other patriots embarked on a journey of seeking empowerment to overthrow the despotic regime of Idi Amin Dada. It also delves into other wars, such as the long-drawn-out bid to neutralise Joseph Kony’s Lord’s Resistance Army and professionalising the Ugandan army, after many years of sectarianism. Besides illuminating the struggles of the past, Yoweri Kaguta Museveni shares his vision for Uganda and the pillars he has over the years put in place as President to ensure Uganda’s future is secure both economically and socially.

Recent seismic shifts in Congo and Rwanda have highlighted the ongoing volatility in central Africa. As African nations move past postcolonial despots, new leaders advocating for a pan-African alliance have emerged, yet internal conflicts persist. Uganda's Yoweri K. Museveni, a key figure in this landscape, is uniquely positioned to explore the question of Africa's challenges. After a decade-long armed struggle, Museveni led a rebellion in 1986 that overthrew Idi Amin's dictatorship, becoming president of a nation in chaos. Under his leadership, Uganda has made significant progress in political, civic, and economic spheres, establishing Museveni as a pivotal force for change in central Africa. This collection of his writings and speeches outlines potential pathways for social transformation across the continent. Drawing on historical insights and a deep understanding of current issues, Museveni discusses how to build democratic movements, foster class consciousness beyond tribal divisions, and navigate the politics of identity in postcolonial Africa. His involvement in the overthrow of Zaire's Mobutu Sese Seko and Uganda's political evolution exemplifies the transformative changes that may unfold in Africa in the coming decades. This work offers a glimpse into the nature of these changes, their potential emergence, and their implications for the continent's future.
