He escaped but saw nine of his friends killed. His love for running developed and despite many setbacks and against all the odds in 1994 Julius became World Junior 1500m champion. He went on to represent Uganda at the 1996 & 2000 Olympics. Today he is an MP in the Ugandan government and runs a foundation providing education and healthcare to his home community.
