Truer words have never been spoken. About Dr. Kizza Besigye and what he represents and how he has inspired us and stood up for us, unrelentingly, for decades despite the brutality, the persecution, the personal cost. Also to inform you all that I received the UGX 5,000,000 on Saturday. Please join me to thank @HEBobiwine and his beautiful wife @BarbieItungoK🙏🏻 and thank you all for heeding to this call of gratitude and solidarity with @kizzabesigye1. I will be providing another update this evening🙏🏻🙏🏻
With a heart full of gratitude and joy, I want to sincerely thank each and every one of you who stood in solidarity with me from the day I was arrested on 2nd February this year up to yesterday when I finally regained my freedom from Luzira prison.
Your love kept me strong. Thank you for visiting me, for your endless prayers, for your words of encouragement and for supporting me financially when I needed it most. I felt your presence even behind those walls and I will never forget it.
Special appreciation goes to National Unity Platform @NUP_Ug for standing with me unwaveringly and to my dedicated legal team *Counsel @elotu_jonathan , Counsel @KakuruTumusiime and Counsel Kato Tumusiime for fighting tirelessly for justice.
You all left no stone unturned to ensure I am free yesterday . I am out because you refused to give up on me.
May God bless you abundantly.
The struggle continues, but with people like you by my side I know we shall overcome
Aluta continue!

PAUL MUSOKE was a young patriot. A committed foot soldier. A disciplined youth leader who went through the @NUP_Ug School of Leadership. Last week, Paul's house was attacked. It's door was closed from outside before being set on fire. He sustained severe injuries before being rushed to hospital by the neighbours. Despite every effort, Paul did not make it. Yesterday evening, he passed on at only 27 years of age. Such a tragic loss. Paul joins our countless comrades and supporters who have died under the most painful, brutal circumstances. In almost all cases, perpetrators of these crimes are never brought to book. Paul deserves justice. Fare thee well comrade.
@BlackMambaso Don’t be so stupid to that level please. To build or to market Uganda or any other country you don’t need people to talk for you, let Museveni and his group market the country with what they’re doing as people in power. Automatically tourists will come and many more.
This hypocrisy is sickening!!
Why invoke Jesus’ name and pretend to be God fearing while standing comfortably beside a tyrant who tortures and kills people for fun? The very people you claim to care about!
Ask yourself what Jesus would say about standing with power while the weak are being oppressed by those in power.
If you’re just ignorant about what is happening in Uganda, then educate yourself. But if you know what is happening and you choose to endorse it because of the money, then your character and integrity is highly questionable.
Black lives cannot matter only when it is convenient.
Some of you American celebrities are genuinely uninformed. You have fame and a platform in the US, not a grasp of African politics. Before you pose with THE GENERAL OF UGANDA and treat it like a flex, read who you’re associating with. Museveni has ruled since 1986. His son and the security apparatus have a long record of abductions, torture, and crushing opposition to stay in power. If you actually stood for human rights you wouldn’t be doing photo ops with them. Celebrity status isn’t a substitute for knowing what you’re endorsing.
