@DavidLRubongoya History doesn’t repeat itself, foolish people repeat history!

Lest the world forget forget, dictator Museveni's deranged son, Muhoozi, had comrade Eddie Mutwe abducted in April last year. Muhoozi later posted a photo of Eddie Mutwe, shirtless and appearing to bleed, boasting that he was teaching him Runyankore and using him as a punching bag. He added that I was next on his list.

Once the coward Muhoozi felt he had tortured Eddie enough, he sent him to jail where he remains to this day; denied bail everytime he has sought it. And yet Muhoozi still isn't satisfied. He is now threatening to hang Eddie Mutwe, and other NUP prisoners, "soon"! The good news is that we worship a Living God, and are taking whatever action we can to subdue this monster. Uganda will survive Museveni and his witless son, the same way it has survived every other tyrant before them!

Just learnt of the abduction of this young female activist, Praise Aloikin Opoloje, this evening! She is a vocal critic of the NRM regime, with her most recent video focusing on Mr. Museveni's infantile son & cowardly army commander, Muhoozi, who has proven unable to act his age or rank. We call for Aloikin's unconditional release and an end to this State criminality! #BringBackOurPeople!

This was activist Mulinge Muteti speaking during protests in Nairobi calling for the release of Ugandan opposition leader Kizza Besigye, shortly before he went missing.

We send warmest greetings to the great people of Busoga and congratulate His Majesty William Wilberforce Gabula Nadiope IV on his 12th Coronation Anniversary. May the Almighty grant you many more years of wisdom, health, and a prosperous reign.

Afunvughe Isebantu!

Glad to see comrades Bobi Young and Saudah Madaada back home to their families after spending nearly 2½ years and 1 year, respectively, in jail on politically motivated charges.

Welcome back home comrades, and be sure that this painful sacrifice you have made for the sake of a better Uganda will be vindicated. Those who unjustly imprisoned you will one day be held to account for their crimes.

When we say that serving military, police and prisons officers are in worse enslavement and they too need redemption!

Happy 65th birthday our Deputy President in charge of Northern Uganda, Dr. Lina Zedriga. We are grateful for your contribution to the struggle for a better Uganda and pray that this new chapter brings you good health and many more years of impactful service to our country.

[BOBI WINE @HEBobiwine]

We’ve walked through rose gardens and through hellfire, laughed until our stomachs hurt and cried until our eyes were red.
Through it all and yet still together and still choosing each other. Sometimes I wonder what I ever did to deserve a blessing like you.
One lifetime could never be enough for me to love you or to reward you for all that you have been to me. So I pray that God’s blessings follow you, our children and our grandchildren, through every generation.

Happy birthday, my dearest @BarbieItungoK .
I love you❤️

The events of these past days confirm one timeless truth - no one can escape the effects of impunity and lawlessness.

On Thursday night, a young, outspoken NRM apologist, Ivan Mwijukye, was intercepted by regime operatives in Mpigi while travelling by bus from Mbarara. He was abducted, and his whereabouts remain unknown - except that Museveni’s brutal son posted his picture on handcuffs!

Today, armed men in plainclothes brazenly stormed Radio Simba studios in Kampala and dragged Charles Rwomushana out of a live broadcast. His whereabouts remain unknown! (They join Matthew Bagonza, another NRM supporter who was abducted over a week ago and remains missing.)

Both men have always mocked and justified the brutal repression, torture, and enforced disappearances of our people. They have always victimised the victims of brutality in their public commentary.

But at this moment, when the criminal regime turns the machine of terror against them, we must take the higher moral ground. Our struggle is not for selective justice or personal vengeance. It is for the rule of law and the constitutional rights of every single Ugandan.

We unequivocally condemn these abductions and call for the release of these citizens. We know so well that Ivan's crime was questioning Museveni’s son's tribal bigotry, and Rwomushana's crime was comparing him to the Biblical prodigal son.

We must not stand by and condone this ridiculous clampdown on free expression. These criminals' intention is to silence everyone, but they are terrible students of history. Seeking to silence a nation through terror never wins in the end.

What more? I hope those who are still massaging the egos of these criminals can learn a few lessons and apply some breaks to their sycophancy. It is not hard to predict what awaits them, unless they work with everyone else to restore sanity and put an end to this madness.

As the remains of His Royal Majesty, Omukama Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV arrive back home, we join the people of Tooro and all Ugandans in entering these nine days of solemn mourning.

King Oyo was a visionary leader, a symbol of unity, and a brilliant light who led his people with grace from a tender age. He carried the crown of his Kingdom with immense dignity, humility, and grace. Many looked at him as a symbol of what young people can achieve when given the space to lead.

He reigned with a quiet strength that inspired millions of young people across Uganda and the world, showing us that age is never a barrier to responsibility and service to your people. It is very painful that he did not get to exhaust his full potential.

His passing at such a young age is a profound loss to our culture and the nation at large.

We stand in deep solidarity with the Queen Mother, the royal family, and the entire Tooro Kingdom during this dark hour.

May we use this period of reflection to honour his legacy and leadership.

May God rest his soul in eternal peace, and may his ancestors receive him well.

Omukama atuulize. Enkuba etutiire. Entare egwiire. Mahano muno.

Dr. Kizza Besigye - an icon of our struggle, a pillar of resilience, and a true elder of the Ugandan liberation movement.

For decades, Dr. Besigye has consistently chosen conviction over comfort. He has remained steadfast and completely unyielding in the face of brutal persecution, multiple unlawful detentions, and constant threats to his life.

The Museveni regime continues to harass and torment him in the hope that they will break his spirit. Yet, through it all, he continues to stand firm - his spirit unbroken.

While we can never repay him for his enduring leadership and refusal to bow to tyranny, we can stand with him in his hour of need. I am grateful to our friends who have launched this solidarity campaign to raise funds for his welfare and mounting legal costs while he and his colleagues continue to languish in jail.

I encourage all of us to be part of this effort. Let us contribute whatever we can to support this cause. My wife @BarbieItungoK and I are making a modest contribution of UGX 5,000,000.

By standing together during these challenging times, we send a clear message to the regime: they can jail our bodies, but they can never jail our solidarity. Their attempts to throw us into disarray will not yield. Together, we shall overcome.

One day, you’ll also want to apologize to the Ugandans you’ve abducted and tortured in your so-called basement; to the mothers whose husbands and sons you murdered and denied even a decent burial; and to the women whose dignity you demeaned and whose bodies you objectified.

You’ll wish you could take back the reckless and hateful things you’ve said on X-the insults, threats, evil confessions and obscenities. But history offers no delete button.
Your apology today should remind you that the day will come when you are asking Ugandans for forgiveness but by then, history will already have passed its judgment.

[BOBI WINE @HEBobiwine]

Very sad to hear that we have lost my good friend and Law School classmate Richard Baguma Rwatooro.
Rest in peace brother, until we meet again 🙏🏾

[BOBI WINE @HEBobiwine]

The main purpose for our existence is to make a difference in other people’s lives and I’m so happy to see my brother @kingsaha_256 doing that on his birthday.
May the almighty bring more meaning to your life as you impact others.
Happy birthday ndugu 🫡.

[BOBI WINE @HEBobiwine]

@Mord_ecai889 Nkugambye! Oyo bwaba tannabaswaaza bonna, tajja kufuna mirembe. I’m sure all other senior officers are drowning in shame for being led by such a character.

[BOBI WINE @HEBobiwine]

Nobody should be surprised that Museveni’s brutal son would consider anybody who is not from his specific ethnic origin a second-class citizen! By calling his brother-in-law - who he is always at odds with - a 'Muhutu', he is telling you how exactly he views those who don't belong to his tribe. Those who have eyes and ears know that this has been the unstated foundational policy and belief of the Museveni family rule. They now have a reckless, entitled son who is bold enough to say it publicly!

Like I have repeatedly said, you just need to sit down with several victims of abductions and torture and listen to the kind of ethnic or religious profiling (in the case of muslims) they're subjected to in those torture chambers. In the case of NUP supporters, if they're from any other ethnic group, they'll be brutalised and humiliated while being mocked for belonging to those tribes. If they're Banyankole, they'll be beaten up and dehumanised while being interrogated on what they're doing supporting a Muganda. One of our lawyers, Kakuru Tumusiime, recently recounted how he was tortured, being asked how a munyakole lawyer could represent me - a Muganda. Imagine the backwardness! This is a dark truth that we must confront.

This tribal hatred is being spewed by someone his father gifted with heading our nation's military. You can imagine how he views soldiers who come from the diverse regions of our country. Of course this perception is reflected in promotions, deployments, opportunities to study abroad, etc.

I am very pleased that the Government of Rwanda through its Spokesperson has come out to distance themselves from this barbaric madness. They know too well from their own painful history, the catastrophic destination where state-sponsored ethnic bigotry leads a nation.

Unfortunately, you won't hear any condemnation coming from the officials in Uganda because they all know that this tribal supremacy is the true, unmasked identity of the bloody regime they serve.

I call on the people of Uganda to remain united because a people united will always defeat regimes built on sectarianism - however ferocious they may seem.
