As a mother, my heart is breaking ๐ as I think about what happened to Barbie Kyagulanyi.โจShe endured house arrest in silence but even that was not enough. They broke into her home, terrorised her, beat her and left her helpless as her children and other family members watched in pain. Where does this leave the children? What trauma will they carry from seeing their motherโs fear in the place meant to keep them and the mother safe?
This should disturb every right-thinking Ugandan. And condemn these acts bse This is not law enforcement it is terror.
My heart bleeds for Barbie, the children, and every family living in fear wondering whoโs next.
Hundreds of soldiers descended on our home in Magere last night. Most were dressed in SFC uniforms while others were in regular UPDF uniforms and others in plain clothes. Many of them were drunk. They came with ladders, ready to climb upstairs. They broke our doors and forced themselves into our house. Using hammers, they hit walls, window glasses, and doors. They put my wife on gunpoint, asking her to reveal my whereabouts. They stole money, numerous valuable documents, and all electronic gadgets. They took phones, laptops, chargers, our internet system, our CCTV system, speakers, and any electronic gadget they could lay their criminal hands on. They entered every part of our house, including the ceiling, and left so much destruction everywhere. They grabbed my wife's phone, forced her to sit down, and ordered her to remove her password. She refused. They strangled her and insulted her. They forcefully removed her blouse and took pictures! Speaking Runyakore, they asked why she would get married to a muganda, and why we would dare challenge Museveni.
They beat up our askari and house maid. They ordered the askari to show them where the basement is, where I was hiding. These criminals asked where my children were!
My wife was rushed to hospital where she remains admitted - dealing with all the physical and psychological trauma. Yet in all this, we remain firm in our belief that UGANDA WILL BE FREE.
