SP Twesigye Erias boxing Hon. Amuriat during the 2021 election campaigns. The same is said to have been in command of today’s operation where Bobi Wine was injured
This is deeply concerning. The situation in Uganda is escalating to dangerous levels, and the violence against those fighting for freedom and justice cannot be ignored. The attack on @HEBobiwine is an attack on all who believe in democracy. We need immediate action to bring this under control. The world is watching. The violence must end, and we need to ensure the safety and well-being of everyone involved. Our thoughts are with those who have been injured. We must continue to stand together against these injustices. #StopTheViolence #StandForJustice #UgandaCrisis #HumanRights #StandWithBobiWine
I unreservedly condemn the attack on @HEBobiwine today in #Uganda . This is absolutely unacceptable and I trust the #AfircanUnion will speak out against this vile conduct.
Africa will never reach its true potential for so long as basic freedoms and tolerance are not respected.
Get better soon Bobi!
Today, @HEBobiwine went to Kira Municipality, at the home of Counsel George Musisi for a visit.
As he left after the visit, crowds gathered, then police and the military begun to fire tear gas and other projectiles. A tear-gas cannister was fired onto his left leg, causing a severe injury.
The X-ray report shows there are some fragments from the tear-gas canister which are embedded in his leg, and a surgery will be conducted to remove them.
Police has released a statement saying he stumbled and fell as he entered his car, and that's how he got injured according to them. How ridiculous!!
This brutality is not only despicable, but speaks volumes about a decades-old regime, whose only language is violence towards peaceful citizens.
This chaos will end, and Ugandans will attain will their freedom!
Here is the Uganda police officer Twesigye. He commanded the operation in which @HEBobiwine was shot in the leg. Kindly Repost and make his brutality known to the whole world.
Dictator Yoweri Museveni wants to eliminate Bobi Wine. Change is needed in Uganda very urgently. It’s time for the octogenarian to be removed from office by force.
All our strength and best wishes to Uganda’s Bobi Wine after his shooting today.
No bullets or weapons will crush the Ugandan people’s demands for freedom and democracy 👊

🚨 🇺🇬BREAKING: UGANDAN OPPOSITION LEADER BOBI WINE SHOT AND INJURED
Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, popularly known as Bobi Wine, has been shot in the leg by security agents, according to his party.
Wine, a former singer turned politician, is the leading figure of Uganda's opposition and has been a vocal critic of President Museveni's regime.
His music and activism have made him a symbol of resistance for Uganda’s youth, advocating for democracy and human rights.
This attack marks a dangerous escalation in the ongoing political tensions in Uganda.

Wamma @PoliceUg, since these people aren't believing you, here is another, even clearer video of Mr. Kyagulanyi stumbling and falling as you and the military tried to protect him.
