[Civsoc-mw] HEROES OF OCTOBER 1967 MWANZA ‘WAR'

[elton jangale]

Thank you for the clarification. 
Based on your proposition: "I think the assumption is that heroes are those who are presumed to have shown (1) the courage to take / choose the more difficult or tougher or more unpopular side of a situation on the principle of some higher purpose, when in fact (2) they were already privileged and didn't have to. 
In this narrative, it is taken for granted that, to take HKB's side and maintain one's privileges at little or no risk was the easier choice and therefore not heroic.".
Then the question which may have to be asked is that: whether those who took HKB's side some 40years' ago ( who believed in the system and tied up so-called rebels and took them to the Thsiri River and threw them to the crocodiles; people who informed on others to the authorities; people pretended to be on the rebel side but in fact worked to betray them) have now been vindicated as Heroes?
