You are smittened by every single alphabet in A pass' " Ghetto cry". I have not seen anyone near to A pass in terms of talent and content in Uganda. I'll meet him and tell him thanks🤝

My thoughts and prayers are with the NMG staff. I called a few friends at NMG today, and all I can say —It is very tough waking up to no job at all, and a lot of uncertainty surrounding what brings food on the table, but most importantly the future of press freedom as a fundamental bedrock of our democracy.

What a time!

How darker can life get?

[BOBI WINE @HEBobiwine]

Two leading civil society leaders and distinguished lawyers, Dr. Sarah Bireete E.D @ccgea1 and Eunice Musiime E.D @amwaafrika are the latest victims of the ongoing criminality. They have been abducted by the military and driven off to an unknown destination. These are definitely tough times, but the TOUGH PEOPLE OF UGANDA will outlive them. Uganda will be free!

Oh Uganda may God uphold thee indeed.

When National Security Takes Precedence Over Public Perception

There is a tendency to reduce every major security decision to personalities, but that ignores a fundamental reality: governments are obligated to act whenever they believe national security is at risk.

Those insisting that the closure of Daily Monitor, NTV Uganda, Spark TV etc is personal should ask themselves a simple question: what if security agencies had detected coordinated activities they believed threatened national stability? Would inaction have been the responsible choice?

Disagree with the decision if you must, that is a legitimate debate. But dismissing every security action as a personal vendetta, without credible evidence, is speculation, not analysis.

National security decisions are often unpopular because the public rarely has access to the intelligence that informs them. Sometimes what is visible is only a fraction of the bigger picture.

History has shown that information spaces can be exploited to advance agendas beyond journalism. The real debate should be whether the response was lawful, proportionate, and effective, not whether it fits a convenient political narrative.

[David Lewis Rubongoya @DavidLRubongoya]

Nothing describes best what Hon. Miria Matembe is going through, than the title of her own book, "The Struggle for Freedom and Democracy Betrayed."

To imagine that she was a member of Uganda's Constitutional Commission and helped draft a Constitution with a Bill of Rights, and that she's now missing or on the run for her expression is beyond disbelief. Wherever you are, Aunt Miria, as you're fondly called, know that Uganda stands with you and that the sun will rise again.

[David Lewis Rubongoya @DavidLRubongoya]

Imagine an accused person - on the most serious charges of treason - being stripped of legal representation in this fashion! One of his two lead lawyers, Hon. Erias Lukwago in detention, charged with misprison of treason, and the other, Hon. @MarthaKarua declared persona non grata and deported from Ugandan soil. What a time!

Kiswahili speaking nations should condemn the weaponization of the language to abduct and torture. Kenya and Tanzania should not watch from the sidelines. The trauma Ugandans carry, inflicted by the Ugandan State using this language as a language for violence and brutality, affects the rest of the region and efforts towards the so called EAC integration. @TitoMagoti @Nyamisa_Chela @_James041 @MigunaMiguna @NjeriWaMigwi @Honeyfarsafi

[Kungu Al-mahadi Adam @adam_kungu]

Lawyer Medard Lubega Ssegona on Hon. Lukwago's whereabouts:

"I certainly cannot know, and I dare not claim that even the devil himself knows. We can only speculate.

One possibility is that it is part of the growing wave of controversial and acrimonious arrests taking place across the country, where certain individuals appear to be targeted because of their political beliefs and affiliations.

We could also speculate that it relates to his professional work as a lawyer. He represents Dr. Kizza Besigye, and late last week, the judge fixed the human rights enforcement case against General Muhoozi Kainerugaba and the Attorney General.

Counsel Erias Lukwago had undertaken to ensure that General Kainerugaba would be served with the relevant court documents today.

Going by the tweet, assuming it is genuine, General Kainerugaba stated: "We have him. He has urinated three times. We are keeping him. Photos coming shortly."
You will recall that he previously promised to release photographs of Eddie Mutwe while in detention, and he followed through on that promise. It is therefore possible that he may do the same in this case.

I can only encourage people to remain steadfast in what they believe in. As Martin Luther King Jr. once said, "If a man has not discovered something that he will die for, he isn't fit to live."
