FIGHT OF THE WEEKThe fight of the week award goes to John Katto and his buddy, Ambassador Wasswa Biriggwa. The duo, now known as destroyers by patrons of the haunt, that was Bimbo Ice Cream on Siad Barre Street. The circumstances of the fight are as freak, as could be laughable. The duo's car is parked at an entrance to the Asians' residence, behind the haunt. The Asians drive to the point but the duo refuse to drive off. One of the Asians comes to plead for his way, but instead receives slaps. His colleagues come up to rescue him, prompting Biriggwa to throw away his coat in a ‘rescue bid.’ A scuffle ensues, with a bigger group now overshadowing the Asians. When contacted, Biriggwa denied he was involved, saying it was only Katto settling his scores with his assailants. “If I touched someone, he wouldn’t get up — it would be a different story,” he said. Witnesses say the fight was richly spiced with remarks like, “You are mere foreigners, we can show you the way back!” Which one of them was heard saying. Well, smirks of racism... ends
