‎Uganda Seizes Dr. Garang’s Personal Archives at Entebbe: Two Smugglers Arrested

-




‎Entebbe, Uganda 

‎

Ugandan security agencies have confiscated the personal archives of the late South Sudanese liberation leader, Dr. John Garang de Mabior, during an attempt to transport them out of the country. 

‎

‎The seizure took place at Entebbe International Airport on Sunday, when a British-German citizen and a Ugandan national were arrested along with the archival material. 

‎

‎What Happened

‎

‎The two individuals were intercepted as they tried to take the documents to South Africa. 

‎

‎Among the archives were Dr. Garang’s letters and other personal materials. 

‎

‎The suspects reportedly claimed to be in possession of letters authorised by Mabior Garang, Dr. Garang’s son, which would permit the shipment. However, Mabior has not issued any public statement about the matter so far. 

‎

‎The Kampala Metropolitan Police confirmed the arrests and that homes of those involved were searched. 

‎

‎Background

‎

‎Dr. John Garang de Mabior was a central figure in South Sudan’s fight for independence. 

‎

He led the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement/Army (SPLM/A) and served briefly as Vice President under the Government of National Unity established after the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA). 

‎

Dr. Garang died in a helicopter crash in July 2005 while returning from a meeting with Ugandan President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni. 

‎

‎Implications & Reactions

‎

‎The intended recipient of the archives is said to be the Thabo Mbeki Foundation in South Africa. 

‎

‎There is concern about ownership, legal authority, and the transparency of archival materials of such historical significance. 

‎

The alleged authorisation by Mabior Garang adds another layer of complexity.

‎

‎Dr. Garang’s son has remained publicly silent, raising questions among observers about whether the materials were being moved with endorsement or without full consent.
