During his political career he worked as, amongst other things, an expert for the Organization of African Unity during the Congo crisis and as a functional chief political adviser at the president’s office. In 1974 he came to Sweden as a refugee. Opira was not finished with his work for Uganda though – he played a key role in founding the UNLF and facilitated the Moshi Conference that led to the fall of Idi Amin. Through his unwavering integrity and courage, Opira accomplished much for Uganda before passing away in November 2000. As a father, he treated his sons and daughters equally. He fought against discrimination and fought for equal rights for all, including the right to education for everyone regardless of gender or background.
