Talk:Battle of Kampala

Scale of the battle
I just wanted to ask whether your sources state that the battle of Kampala was limited to the fighting between 24 and 26 January? Cooper and Fontanellaz effectively treat the actions from 17 January 1986 as part of the overall battle, though they don't outright state that the battle lasted from 17 to 26 January either.

 * Kainerugaba refers to it as a "two day" battle, which could only be 24–26 January. Kutesa frames it in the larger 17–26 January operation, but his writing is less detailed, so I stuck with what I thought was the better source. I really don't care much about how large a timeframe we use; deference to Cooper and Fontanellaz would be understandable (both are professional and apolitical historians, Kainerugaba obviously did his research but definitely writes from a pro-NRA point of view). Either way we should cover the 17–24 January events in good detail. -Indy beetle (talk) 01:45, 29 June 2019 (UTC)
