We produced this spoken word piece following electoral violence in the national election and particularly at @MuwangaMKivumbi’s home and @GorrethNamugga in Sembabule including the abductions that followed.
It turns out to be a tale of today, as it did then.

This is Sam Mugumya, a Ugandan citizen that was abducted over a year ago from Mbarara district by military personnel. This video, like the others that have leaked before, corroborated by reports from survivors from the same military facility confirm that Sam has been subjected to untold torture.
What we are looking at in the video is evidence of crimes against humanity as defined in the Rome statute. In the video, we have an idea of the severity, but the scope is itself concerning.
Every citizen of conscience viewing this should be uncomfortable with these actions.

Going by what is happening in Tooro. I have realized that cultural institutions have a big job at teaching their subjects things concerning their culture and the kingdom at large.
Even the people I thought were intelligent this Tooro Saga has exposed them.
Too Sad!
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.
25years of a beautiful love affair and 15years of holy matrimony. Countless memories, smiles, tears, ups and downs-but still together. Dear @BarbieItungoK, I love you more than I did 25years ago, and if I had to do it again, I would still choose you again and again. Happy anniversary madam First Lady ❤️
