Self-exiled Ugandan opposition leader Bobi Wine tells @jennzaba he is urging US senators to press for targeted sanctions against his country’s octogenarian leader, who’s just been sworn in for a seventh term in office https://t.co/d3TXcPUGij
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!
Tewelabira nti our beloved sister ono yawambibwa government ya Dictator Museveni, natulugunyizibwa, nasobezebwako abamajje, nasigibwa akawuka ka sirimu/mukenenya lwa kuwagira president we kyagulanyi Sentamu Robert @HEBobiwine.
Addressed the Ugandan community, comrades and well-wishers living in Boston city, Massachusetts, USA about the status of our struggle back home. I am inspired to see them still united and committed to building a better Uganda; a cause towards which they have made and continue to make a significant contribution!
