The people who wield the tools of power, and collect our hard-earned taxes, can truly drain you.
By night, you're tormenting Ugandans. By day, you put on a polished, sometimes civil show.
Do you people have a functioning conscience at all?
💔😔😡

In his reflection about what Christianity should say to oppressed black South Africans during Apartheid, Steve Biko said that the Bible should also preach to the black man that “it is a sin to allow oneself to be oppressed”. One of the people that have vehemently resisted committing this sin is Dr Kizza Besigye. You do not oppress him with his permission, and he won’t cooperate in fostering his own oppression - even if it means dying in protesting abuse.
200+ organisations are calling on the international community to act now against escalating repression in #Uganda

This is what the state did to Sam Mugumya. I think apart from torture that must have broken his ribs and legs, they also starved him. Can you at least now release him for his loved ones to care for him?? #BringBackOurPeople
When did we get our heads stuck so far up our asses that any criticisms is considered hating or out of ‘nugu’ ?
Why do we have such a weak collective muscle for feedback?
#Uganda: UN Human Rights Chief @volker_turk denounces the ongoing crackdown on dissent, erosion of the rule of law, increased military involvement in civilian institutions, and shrinking civic space.
He urges the Government to uphold the separation of powers and the rule of law, including by preventing military interference in civil institutions.

Watch the moment Ugandan opposition leader Dr. Kizza Besigye collapses in court during his treason trial.
The 70-year-old, who has been detained since November 2024, collapsed while objecting to state-appointed lawyers representing him.
You people bullied Emeka when he was getting married, you bullied him when he gained weight, you are bullying him for separating from his wife.
When do you ever extend kindness to him?
All he knows from your ilk is pain, dishonesty and hatred. No compassion or empathy at all
