How can Uganda win the Uganda-Tanzanian war

It's very unlikely
Two pieces of background :

1. Uganda's official objective was to get a sea coast - to seize the port of Tanga, the other side of Tanzania, and a salient to hold it . This was ridiculous given the distance and the fact that the roads from Bukoba and the rail from Mwanza (nearest railhead) don't even run in the direction of Tanga. Amin would have had to invade an occupy a piece of territory around the same size as Uganda itself, but long thin and without natural defenses from rump Tanzania to the south . Not going to happen

2. Nyerere was (already) committed to overthrowing Amin, was hosting Ugandan exiles and was basically waiting for an excuse to invade. Amin gave him the excuse. End of Amin
 
I don't saw anything the in first link about Kamera but regardless he's not going to get pass the Kagera region
Yeah that was an autocorrect error. I have edited my post

Yes, no way Amin's troops get out of the Kagera . But he wanted a whole lot more - it was insane
