More About the Author
Product Description
Review
"The text is an in-depth account of the origin, rise and demise of The Movement from its infant years in the early 1980s to the time of the massacre that was masterminded by Credonia Mwerinde, Joseph Kibwetere, Dominic Kataribaabo and Joseph Kasapuraari whose profiles are documented herein. It also highlights the tragedy of believers of this cult, whose death shook the very foundation of religion in Uganda let alone the number of lives it seared." Sunday Monitor
Product Description
On 17th March 2000, over 500 people died in the blazing inferno on the remote hills of south-west Uganda. Shortly afterwards, hundreds more bodies were discovered in mass graves across the country. Those who died belonged to a religious cult, the Movement for the Restoration of the Ten Commandments would be saved on the day of reckoning - which was close at hand. The Uganda Cult Tragedy is an account of the formation and growth of this cult, in particular examining the reasons why it rooted itself so firmly in Uganda, passing unnoticed by the authorities until it was too late...The author believes the cult phenomenon is not only highly dangerous but is now universal and growing. He has researched his subject throughly with former cult members in the hope that this revealing account of the terrible, but not widely publicised, tragedy in Uganda may act as a warning - to prevent such appalling loss of life in the future.
