As a child in 1960s Buganda, the author’s worst fear was being eaten alive by Timba the rock python, who lurked in the forest and preyed on unwary little boys. As a newly-qualified doctor he would come to realise that there are far worse dangers in the world.
Mo Kibirige’s only crime was to help a friend and colleague whose girlfriend had been abducted by the despotic, murderous Ugandan dictator Idi Amin, and who now needed assistance to flee from certain death himself. Mo stepped forward, and this selfless act of bravery soon saw him in the crosshairs too; within days he would be forced to flee, both from his beloved country, and the family that he loved.
From Mo’s first panicked flight to Nigeria, then to Kenya, the UK and beyond, this true story will take you on a journey that ranges from heartbreaking to hilarious, via the dense jungle of Uganda, countless operating theatres, shabby bedsits, and even a naturist’s dinner party (albeit as an entirely unwitting guest). Whatever the situation, the Buganda tradition of shared humanity and community runs like a shining thread throughout.
Never Forget Us, Dearest is a remarkable tale of enduring hope, courage, and resilience, about the little barefoot boy who stole mangoes and grew to be a world-renowned expert in child health, thanks to his indominable spirit, the guidance and love provided by his family, and most important of all, his unbroken investment in a better world for all.
