The Uganda Prisons Service today joined the rest of the country in commemorating the 45th Tarehe Sita Anniversary at Kabale National Teachers’ College (NTC) Grounds. The day marked a powerful moment of national reflection on the struggle that laid the foundation of Uganda through sacrifice, courage and resilience.
Tarehe Sita, meaning Sixth of February, remembers the launch of the armed struggle in 1981. It honours the heroes and heroines whose commitment to freedom brought peace, unity and stability to the nation.
This year’s theme was:
“Defending the Gains of the Revolution and Honouring the Sacrifices of the Freedom Fighters: A Call for National Unity, Peace and Socio-Economic Transformation.”
Early Morning Preparations
The day began early with flags being raised as teams prepared the grounds. Protocol and security officers were busy on duty, ensuring everything was in place. Soon after, invited guests, African military chiefs and members of the public started arriving.
Among the guests were Ministers, Members of Parliament, ambassadors, heads of departments and agencies, retired army officers and religious leaders.
