Through an empirical survey, unstructured interviews, secondary sources and participant observation, our thesis has shown that although there were religious and social differences in Buganda, Oboto's strategy of attempting to integrate Buganda into Uganda, reinforced ethnic solidarity among the Baganda. The bond of ethnic solidarity overshadowed class and religious divisions. Obote's strategy of using force to crush Bugnnda's hegemony and her cherished, monarchy and legislature, made the Baganda so insecure that as they groped tor security, their ethnic solidarity was reinforced. And thus our study shown that although class analysis in important for understanding African politics, ethnicity can also under certain circumstances, have decisive influence. 1w example, it has been shown that insecurity can enhance ethnicity. To this extent, we differ from the Marxists who reject the view that ethnicity has a decisive influence and who seek to explain Uganda's politics in terms of class In order to reduce ethnicity, it in recommended that all tribes runt be assured of economic, political and social security. The Central Government must use objective criteria to allocate scarce resources.
