With his own army in a state of disarray his only remaining visible means of support seems to be the airforce of his fellow Islamic dictator Gaddafi which intervened at the last moment against the invading anti-Amin These forces are an alliance of the regular army of the petty-bourgeois 'left'-talking Tanzanian premier Julius Nyerere and a rotten political block of Ugandan exiles now calling itself the Uganda National Liberation Front.

This Front consists of no less than eighteen political organisations, all of them headed by a small group of exiles, without any mass base within Uganda.

The main ones are the followers • of ex-"socialist" premier Milton Obote and the former Kabaka (King) of Buganda whom Obote deposed.

The ease with which the Front's small army has (before Libyan intervention) reached firing distancè of the capital Kampala is the result of material support from Tanzania and probably from US and British imperialist sources as well.

But it is also because the soldiers and working masses of Uganda did not raise a finger to assist their beleagured eight-year dictator.

• But those masses now face the prospect of a new dictatorship from one or more sections of the opportunists who comprise the National Liberation It is essential for them to set up their own independent organisations to fight for the final end of the Amin regime, the removat from Uganda of Tanzanian and Libyan forces, the reconstruction of the economic/ life under workers' control and management and the formation of an authentic workers' and peasants' government in Uganda.
