I believe when that day comes, those who forced Ugandans to torture and turn against one another will face the consequences of their actions. The very people they made hurt others one day turn against them not out of choice, but out of anger and pain for being forced to do what they never should have done. No one can escape the weight of the suffering they cause others
For four months, Dr. Lina Zedriga Waru has been acting President of our Party. During this period, she has steered the party well and kept the revolution alive. We're all very grateful for her dedication and service.
As her tenure comes to an end, I am pleased to announce that Hon. John Baptist Nambeshe, Deputy President Eastern Region, will be taking over as acting President of the National Unity Platform. I wish him well and request all leaders and comrades to accord him the necessary support.

It turns out that journalist and media personality @TimKalyegira, who has been missing, was actually abducted, held incommunicado, and is now being arraigned for charging! Simply because he's been outspoken about Museveni and his son's crimes. We got to this point because everyone thought that someone else would fix it. Hopefully everyone now realises the collective danger and the collective duty. Only then shall we be free.
EAST AFRICAN Press Councils call for de-escalation of hostility between Media and governments following shutdown of NTV-Uganda and Spark TV, and recent exchanges between President Ruto and Standard Group.
Uganda's leading independent media group says it is under "military siege" after the army chief - who is the son of President Yoweri Museveni - ordered the closure of TV stations, newspapers and radio outlets. https://t.co/jcRs1i6MLK
Hon Dr. Miria Matembe is the current matriarch of the women’s movement in Uganda. She is the moral authority and guiding force behind women’s rights activism. She, together with other women leaders, helped shape, legitimize, and institutionalize the women’s movement at a critical historical moment of the making of the 1995 Constitution.
Her voice carries weight because of her integrity, courage, and consistency in standing for women’s rights. She has inspired, mentored, and opened space for younger women leaders, activists, and policymakers.
We acknowledge her willingness to confront patriarchy, state power, and cultural resistance, often at personal and political cost. She represents the bridge between early struggles for women’s political inclusion and today’s gender equality discourse.
Matembe today is the matriarch of the women’s movement because of her historical role, enduring influence, and symbolic motherhood over a movement that transformed women’s participation in public and political life. #FreeMiriaMatembe
Museveni’s criminal son, acting with his father’s full approval, has moved to silence Uganda’s remaining independent voices by shutting down @NTVUganda, @DailyMonitor, @DembeFM, and @SparkTV.
This is the hash reality we now face, a country under open military rule, where fear replaces law and force replaces accountability.
But history is clear. Dictators always escalate repression towards their fall, pressing every button in desperation, until they press the one they never expected to be their last.
Uganda will be free!
I have received the sad news of the death of Ms. Sarah Nantumbwe (1st image), a wife to comrade John Ddamulira (2nd image) who was abducted from his spare parts shop in Kisekka Market in November 2020 and has never been seen again. She has died carrying the pain of not knowing what became of her husband, a pain that many families of our disappeared know far too well.
Ms. Nantumbwe's death has brought back memories of Ms. Monica Nabukenya (4th image), who also passed away just a few months ago in November 2025 after enduring a similar ordeal following the abduction of her husband, comrade Kibalama Johnbosco (3rd image), on Martyrs Day in June 2019. It's a pity that both ladies spent years hoping and searching for answers that never came!
May Ms. Nantumbwe rest in eternal peace.
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!
The shrinking civic space heavily categorized previous regimes in their final days. The Protection of the Sovereignty Bill, 2025 is a crackdown on operations of NGOs and opposition political parties. It’s unfortunate that instead of government protecting these core elements of democracy, it has chosen to target and harass their freedom. It’s getting worse by the day.
@newvisionwire@mkainerugaba The world 🌍 knows the truth, stop acting in fear and favor, respect uganda, respect the people of Uganda and respect your families
40 days ago, Museveni yet again usurped the will of the people of Uganda and declared himself winner of a sham election on gunpoint. The military continues to surround and occupy my home. Museveni’s criminal son continues to issue threats against me and other Ugandans opposed to his father's illegitimate rule. Yesterday, they did the unthinkable and blocked prayers at Lubaga Cathedral. Amidst all this, I am sending this message to all of us to continue being resilient and exercise the highest level of faith that our country will be free. I thank every Ugandan who has protected me from the evil criminals over the past 40 days.
