Moment Museveni's daughter didn't know who he was

Uganda President Yoweri Museveni has recalled a point in time when her daughter Natasha Karugire didn't know who he was.

The incident happened in 1985, a year before the NRM leader assumed power.

Museveni who was leading the Ugandan Bush War against President Milton Obote's regime had tucked his family at a safe haven in Sweden. 

On March 29, 1985, he went visiting and his firstborn daughter Natasha answered the door to what he says she called "an African".

"When coming from the bush, I rang the doorbell of my family’s flat in Sweden, Natasha (Nyinancweende) answered it, looked at me, went back in the house saying 'There was an African at the door'," Museveni said.

"She didn't know. I had asked her: 'Natasha won't you greet Daddy?'".

Born in 1976, Natasha was aged nine at the time, two years younger than Museveni's son Muhoozi Kainerugaba, born in April 1974.

His other daughters are Patience Rwabwogo born in 1978 and Diana Kamuntu born in 1980.

Museveni started the bush war against Obote on October 6, 1980, after losing that year's presidential elections.

He eventually toppled Obote in March 1986 and as the de facto leader of the National Resistance Movement (NRM), he became President and the commander-in-chief of the Uganda People's Defence Force.
