After 40 years and counting as President, @KagutaMuseveni should have been a little bit more gracious to Ugandans for having tolerated him this "wrong" never mind how terrible he has been for the job. But how does he pay us in return; he unleash his unhinged son @mkainerugaba to humiliate us and our country. He allows him to break the law to assuage his fat ego. As serving military officer, he freely engages in politics, appoints Speakers of Parliament, appoints his supervisors [read Minister of Defense] as his assistants in an illegal political entity. In Muhoozi, Museveni exemplifies his failure as President. Muhoozi represents everything that Museveni lied to our parents that he was fighting against!
EDITORIAL: Uganda needs to have an honest conversation
"The lingering stench of the 1970s, however, can only be banished if the country grasps how the possibility of lightning striking twice managed to gain traction." https://t.co/XTxrGXxFZj
This should lead us to what has been spoken in hushed tones;
How many opposition leaning politicians were sponsored by PLU? And what does speaking up mean for their benefactor who demands absolute loyalty?
Our parents told us about the deeply dark days they lived through during the Amin days.
In an unfortunate and cruel twist of fate, we'll now be the ones telling our children of these dark days we're living through.
History, predictably, is repeating itself.
May the dawn come.
Even if you are my father or employer, and you joyfully torture an innocent person, I can never feel compelled to praise you or endorse your act. If I can’t speak up against it, I would rather keep quiet. Cheering on whatever gross things one does simply because you love them is the most primitive/barbaric kind of solidarity.
There was a lady whose business I commended just a few days ago. Yesterday I saw her cheering the torture of Lukwago. I blocked her. No need to keep brutes in my space.
The character and conduct of our leaders matters. Their words matter. Their response to criticism matters. How they deal with people who disagree with them matters.
I have run out of ways to describe how tired I am. He abducts an honorable man, brags about it from a verified account, and nothing happens. No charge. No outrage from the people who could stop it. Just another Monday in a country that has learned to swallow anything.
I never understand guys who say “God will punish them, they’ll burn in hell…”
When? We just want decent human treatment. When we are dead, we won’t need it.
We can’t wait for death or hell to make things right. We want it now.
You can disagree with someone’s politics, you could even think they’re not good for office, but you must still be able to demand that they be treated like a human being. I think this should be very easy to understand.
You guys act like you and your family members will live forever.
There’s an actual basement called Hell. There’s no protocol over there. No one’s above the program over there either.
You will burn!
