The topic of this article does not exist. This article conflates 4 things: legends of "The Bachwezi", a legendary group of "ghost people" said in the local oral tradition to have had an empire and then "gone away", (as an absolutely last straw maybe this article could be converted to articles on the mythology of the Nyoro people), the Kitara historical sites, which have been analyzed to some degree but are not the same thing, the Kitara language, and the similarly-named-but-completely different Bunyoro. There are no reliable sources discussing an "Empire of Kitara" (outside of sources referring to the Bunyoro, which are again, a whole other thing). This whole article is just WP:SYNTH.
