National economic shutdown is the only way to make the government listen to the people.
Give it time and listen

You cannot solve a crisis by silencing those who expose it. Treat the disease, not the symptoms!
A nation needs solutions, not censorship. 🇺🇬

Look at what these criminals are doing right outside the @NUP_Ug headquarters! They grabbed and attempted to undress this female comrade at the premises of a business next to our headquarters just because she's putting on #PeoplePower attire but luckily the owner intervened just in time. Watch how one of the armed men grabs a knife and attempts to slice the clothes off her while another appears to undo her zip! This impunity will end one day!

I have woken up to the sad news of the murder of our colleague,& elected LC 1 Chairman Esheruro Cell Rukungiri Municipality.
He was murdered by a group of suspected thieves who attacked him at his home & beat him to death.
We demand his Justice.
May the soul of CM Henry RIP.

Yesterday, in his Inaugural Lecture, Prof. Mbazira @bazzira underscored the urgency of Habeas Corpus applications since they concern life and death situations. Yet, aside from the famed cases of Sam Mugumya, King Zale and others, there is a disturbing case of Baliza William, a young man who was abducted by state operatives on 10th February over some tiktok video. After several months of searching in vain, his father approached us at @NUP_Ug and our legal team filed a Habeas Corpus application on 4th May. To-date, that case has not been fixed for hearing despite reminders. What is happening, Team @JudiciaryUG?

The decision to close DGF, NGOs, and passing the Protection of Sovereignty Bill is a typical lesson against ‘management by impulsiveness’ and ‘management by anger/fear’. They did not consider that:

I) You should one bird, and 50 fly away from the tree;
II) NGOs cushion government by providing many services that people would have demanded from government;
III) The NGO sector employs so many people (directly and by extension into other sectors), hence again reducing unemployment pressure for government. Suspending more NGOs at a time when many others were downsizing or closing due to USAID’s withdrawal was bound to worsen the effect. In fact, more funders of those which were still operational developed cold feet after observing the hostile environment. More are withdrawing.
IV) A sudden huge cutoff of foreign currency inflow and sending ‘don’t come’ signals to investors necessarily had to severely affect the shilling.

Unfortunately, now much of the burden is carried by the ordinary person through increased cost of living amidst reduced employment opportunities. The politicians that recklessly mess it up will still cushion themselves with taxpayers’ money. They have fuel cards. Their utilities are catered for by the taxpayer. Their cars are bought and maintained by the taxpayer. They are treated by the taxpayer. They travel to shop elsewhere using taxpayers’ money! It is that unfair and selfish.

One day torturers like CMI boss Oscar Munanura will be held accountable for his crimes. I called him at 7.30am & confronted him with Alexandria Marinos (RIP) who was tortured and raped in his CMI basement because she had played Bobi Wine music.

Just checked on our comrade Byakika Abubaker at Jinja Road Police where he was taken after being picked up from Kawempe. He says the drone first took him to Mbuya before bringing him to the police station. He also says he's being interrogated about his phone calls with activist Praise Aloikin and an alleged plot to stage protests (which shouldn't be illegal in the first place).

#Uganda’s ruling National Resistance Movement (#NRM) has reportedly rejected a proposal to name President Yoweri Museveni’s son, Muhoozi Kainerugaba, as his successor ahead of the 2031 presidential election, following opposition from senior party members, five sources told AFP. The proposal was discussed at a closed-door party meeting on Tuesday, but a vote on Kainerugaba’s candidacy was abandoned after several members spoke against it. (📸: VCG)

Teso journalists condemn arrest and detention of NTV reporter John Kenneth Odele

The Teso Journalists for Community Empowerment (TEJFOCE) condemned Odele’s arrest, saying journalists should be allowed to execute their professional duties without intimidation or interference.

Odele, a Nation Media Group (NMG) correspondent covering the Teso sub-region, was arrested on Tuesday, November 10, while covering a security meeting at Soroti University convened by the minister of Security, Maj. Gen. (Rtd) Jim Muhwezi.

During the visit, some police officers reportedly indicated that the matter involved allegations of treason and was being handled by the Chieftaincy of Military Intelligence (CMI). Later in the afternoon, the journalists were further informed that Odele was expected to be transferred to CMI headquarters in Mbuya, Kampala.

Unfortunately you have conflated the two entirely different US government travel policies.

So, the embassy is addressing temporary travel restrictions affecting ENTRY into the US, not the US State department’s travel advisory concerning their citizens traveling to Uganda 🇺🇬

One concerns entry into their country, the other concerns risks associated with visiting Uganda. Conflating the two doesn’t settle the debate actually. But nice try.

So you tell us why Kenya 🇰🇪 has not received a level 4 travel advisory yet they just started the 42-day countdown today, yet in Uganda WHO and Africa CDC declared Ebola outbreak over on August 27, 2026. Uganda doesn’t have Ebola WHO knows it. There’s legitimate concern about DRC being the neighbor so does this warrant a level 4 travel advisory yet there’s no Ebola in Uganda?

A succession battle is emerging within Uganda’s ruling party, after senior officials rejected President Yoweri Museveni’s reported plan to position his son as his successor. https://t.co/ItPhDiLskJ

Senile criminal Museveni’s cruelty and deliberate misgovernance have turned our prisons into death traps.

83,682 inmates are jammed into cells built for only 23,437 — 357% occupancy. Moroto alone packs 600 men into space meant for 160.

They sleep like sardines on the dirty floor. Nearly 600 of them share just three toilets.

Almost half the prison population sits on remand for years, some for decades, never convicted. This is the true face of 40 years of looting and neglect.

The Pearl of Africa is rotting under the dying tyrant. #MuseveniMustGo

This is how democratic institutions are dismantled: first steal the people’s mandate, then use the military to intimidate opponents, then attempt to turn the presidency into a family inheritance.
