The Tarahe Sita celebrations belong to the army but were stormed by a number of artists like Bebe Cool, Catherine Kusasira, Dj Miechel, Bigeye among others.
Because of this, we made an effort to reach these celebrities and know why they stormd the event in this manner.
Bebe Cool told our reporter that “It’s out of respect and appreciation towards the UPDF army for the work they have done for us Ugandans to be alive and happy today. These women and men sacrificed their lives for the peace of Ugandans and they still do. So as a responsible successful citizen, I felt making time to attend this day is a way of appreciation towards their sacrifice.”
Big Eye also revealed to us that “I am surprised that this region is this developed. The impression i had was that this area doesn’t have such structures. I encourage Ugandans to travel more and learn to far we have reached”.

The President in his speech also further acknowledge the contribution of the UPDF in protecting and serving Ugandans and ensuring stability in the region.

The Tarehe Sita celebrations are annual celebrations that take place every 6th of February to mark the day the National Resistance Army launched the resistance war in 1981 which liberated the country five years later.

Take a look at the roads they hailed.
