Amidst endless diversions by the regime to deflect citizens' attention from the recent electoral fraud and Uganda's deepening moral and institutional collapse, these words by retiring Judge His Lordship Stephen Egonda-Ntende at his farewell sitting yesterday could not have come at a better time. The Judge urged the judiciary to search deeply within itself for a soul.
He boldly condemned the injustice and cruelty of continuing to jail comrade Waiswa Mufumbiro without bail beyond the constitutional limit, moreover on a minor offence, to the extent of denying him the chance to accompany his children to bury their mother, his wife, the late Edith Katende.
Indeed, as the good Judge suggested, no Ugandan should ever be treated like this again by their own country!
Thx for @genevasummit director @hillelneuer for inviting @HEBobiwine to the Geneva Summit for Human Rights and Democracy. However,I request you label him as 'President-Elect', just like Sviatlana @Tsihanouskaya who was also rigged by the dictator.
I was very fortunate to meet and draw inspiration from the American civil rights icon, Reverend Jesse Jackson, who sadly passed on today.
In word and deed, Jesse Jackson taught us that the struggle for human rights is a universal calling to humanity as a whole. He also taught us that ordinary people, when organized and courageous, can successfully confront and topple or force to reform entrenched systems of injustice.
For us in Uganda who continue to fight for our basic human rights, his life serves as a timely reminder that moral courage will always outlive oppression. Despite facing hostility and imprisonment, he never abandoned his belief in the power of the people.
At a time when many young people are questioning whether peaceful struggle can truly cause change, Jesse Jackson’s legacy answers with a firm YES. But that is only if we persist, if we unite, if we believe, and if we refuse to give up even in the face of impossible odds.
May his soul rest in eternal peace. And may his example strengthen our struggle for a New Uganda where justice is a right, not a privilege.
🚨ATTENTION ATTENTION 🚨
Kindly join us live in Switzerland as Legitimate president of Uganda His Execellency Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu also known as @HEBobiwine expose the atrocities and militarised election of dictator Museveni.

It is an outrageous thought: soldiers raiding your home and attacking your family on governments order. That is what happened to opposition leader @HEBobiwine in Uganda. We must now impose sanctions on all those who take part in this oppression!
WASHINGTON: Uganda’s rising debt burden should fund health, education and accountability — not Washington lobbyists. Borrowing public money to polish the government’s image abroad while allegations of corruption and human rights abuses persist sends the wrong message. Uganda needs real democratic power transition.

When a woman is pulled from her shower or interrogated in her pyjamas, the goal is not just physical injury. This is a form of vicarious rape meant to destroy dignity and telegraph a broader threat @cobbo3@NationAfrica 👏👇

Very grateful to the European Parliament @Europarl_EN for debating the situation in Uganda and passing a very important resolution condemning the sham election, as well as the subsequent violations of human rights by the Museveni regime. Adding your voices to those of the millions of oppressed people in Uganda reassures us that the world is watching and that eventually, there will be accountability for the crimes committed against the people of Uganda.

You ordered the raid on my house to harm me! I beat you at your own game and escaped. To cover up the shame, you claimed no one was looking for me. Here you are now, seized by fear and panic and confirming your wicked plot against me. Anyway, I will resurface when I decide. Then you and your father can do whatever you want to me. But make no mistake - YOU WILL NEVER ESCAPE THE INEVITABLE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR ATROCITIES AGAINST THE PEOPLE OF UGANDA. THIS IS OUR COUNTRY!
STATEMENT
Last night was very difficult at our home in Magere. The military and police raided us. They switched off power and cut off some of our CCTV cameras. There were helicopters hovering over.
I want to confirm that I managed to escape from them. Currently, I am not at home, although my wife and other family members remain under house arrest. I know that these criminals are looking for me everywhere, and I am trying my best to keep safe. I understand that there has been great concern and speculation regarding my whereabouts. Please understand this is the context of a nationwide internet shutdown. Given the commotion that happened at our house at night, and given that no one is allowed to access the house, our neighbours concluded that they had succeeded in abducting us and spread the news.
I reiterate our COMPLETE REJECTION of the fake results Byabakama is reading. In addition to the ballot stuffing, the military take-over of the election, the detention of our leaders and polling officials, and other electoral offences, their results have zero backing!
We condemn the murder of numerous citizens who have thus far attempted to peacefully demonstrate against the broad daylight thuggery. The people of Uganda have the right to protest in defence of their sovereign right to determine a government of their choice - not the kind of criminality we're witnessing.
Aside from the blatant theft of the presidential election, these criminals have employed various fraudulent techniques to usurp the will of the people in numerous constituencies across the country. NUP candidates are being targeted - even when they have 100% evidence that they won. This is absolute madness.
The PEOPLE OF UGANDA WILL ULTIMATELY WIN.
Note: Some of these pictures were taken last night and others today morning.
END
Hey @elonmusk, as you cheer the fall of a dictator in Venezuela, here in Uganda your @Starlink has disabled citizens' access to its internet just days to the January 15th election in which we seek to peacefully end Museveni’s 40-year-old dictatorship!
Like other dictators, Museveni has suffocated free expression, engaged in mass killings, brutally persecuted the opposition, and suppressed citizens' rights - among other atrocities. Please reactivate Starlink internet access in Uganda so that citizens can be able to communicate and stand a fair chance at shaping their destiny. Democracy dies in darkness!
📌 📌 📌
URGENT SECURITY NOTICE TO ALL @NUP_Ug LEADERS AND ACTIVISTS!
Ahead of the upcoming election, the 'security' outfit called Crime Intelligence (led by Christopher Ddamulira) has once again activated a criminal operation of mass abductions and detentions or enforced disappearances targeting NUP leaders and pro-change activists in Kampala, Wakiso, Mukono, and the surrounding districts.
Comrades in other urban areas in the rest of the country are also targeted by this operation that we have credible information started yesterday. Already, several comrades have been picked up. The executors of this operation have been divided into groups, with each group ordered to abduct at least 10 leaders/ activists in their areas of operation.
We therefore STRONGLY advise our leaders to take the following precautionary measures:
1. Disable live location sharing on your phone and all apps that track your location.
2. Avoid moving alone or in predictable routines or routes and times, especially at night.
3. Do not remain in one location for extended periods. If possible, do not stay/sleep in one place.
4. If you identify a suspicious vehicle or motorcycle following you, WEBEREREMU.
5. Ensure that your immediate family members especially children, are in safe locations to deny security rogues the chance of using them as a bait.
6. Watch out for strangers hanging around your home. We request the neighbours of our leaders to also alert them in time, whenever they see suspicious people around their homes.
7. Ask your family and friends to avoid disclosing your whereabouts to anyone without first verifying the identify of those asking and their intentions.
8. If your family member or friend calls you urgently requesting to see you, do not immediately agree to meet them or disclose your location. First verify independently, because loved ones are often put on gunpoint to disclose details and location of our people.
9. Avoid having sensitive conversations especially about vote protection plans on direct phone calls. Also, delete messages or group chats or documents, etc, concerning your planned activities, especially vote protection, however legitimate they may be.
10. Secure your phone with a strong password, not just fingerprints or face ID.
11. Trust your instincts. If something feels wrong, it probably is.
12. Remain calm but vigilant at all times.
Even with this prevailing situation, MAKE IT A POINT TO CONTINUE AGITATING, MOBILISING and ORGANISING for #ProtestVote2026.
To the people of Uganda, the regime will target leaders, but they cannot kill us all. They cannot arrest us all. DON'T WAIT FOR ANY LEADER TO TELL YOU WHAT TO DO. Let's take everything upon ourselves. If our polling agents are arrested, immediately become the polling agent. If one leader is picked up - EVEN IF IT IS ME, let that not dampen our spirits. WE ARE THE LEADERS. WE ARE THE ONES WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR.
