"Lasting five years, the NRA protracted people's war had been consciously by ordinary citizens who exhibited extra ordinary heroism, sacrifice and skill, bearing in mind that it was not their fight, but a fight for the masses, a fight for the people, that is why it is called the people's war" Mbayo added.
She added that the 34th NRM/A's victory Day is an emotional for all children of the mother Uganda, whether living at home or abroad.
"We remember with gratitude the countless freedom fighters that struggled, strived and made heroic sacrifices to win us our freedoms from dictatorial regimes" Mbayo noted.
