Ladislaus Rwakafuzi: What we have is a very high debt. That erodes our Sovereignity more than the little money which our children send to their parents back home.

The bank accounts of Solomon Serwanjja's AIIJ and Agather Atuhaire's Agora have been frozen by the Financial Intelligence Authority (FIA). Sources at FIA alleged that Serwanjja and Agather have been receiving money to 'destabilize' Uganda. Wow! @BbegMedia

Fellow Ugandans and friends of Uganda!

Two months ago, Museveni yet again usurped the will of the people of Uganda and declared himself president on gunpoint. A day later, gripped by shame and fear, the military invaded my home to harm me, but I was able to evade them and go into hiding.

Over the past two months, the regime has looked for me everywhere. They have raided the homes of many colleagues and fellow leaders, mounted roadblocks and spot checks of vehicles and motorcycles, arrested and dismissed the police officers assigned to my campaign, raided our home in the village, and kept my home under siege. Well, they couldn't find me because the people of Uganda sheltered me and protected me.

Today, I am announcing my brief exit from the country to handle important work. Over the next few weeks, I will engage with our friends and allies all over the world before returning to Uganda to continue the push for freedom and democracy! For now, let's remain focused and united.

We encourage all Ugandans to turn up in large numbers and participate in the forthcoming LCI polls. Do not be discouraged by the regime’s efforts to lure us away from exercising our voting rights.

NUP NL/BE Engages EU on Uganda's Human Rights Crisis 🇺🇬🇪🇺

Today, representatives of the National Unity Platform (NUP) Netherlands/Belgium Chapter held a crucial meeting at the European External Action Service (EEAS) in Brussels.

We sat down with Ms. Petra Hojni, EU Special Representative for Human Rights (Sub-Saharan Africa), and Mr. Tibor Varadi, EU Desk Officer for Uganda, to address the deteriorating human rights situation in Uganda following the January 2026 elections.

Key highlights from the dialogue:
🗣️ We presented firsthand testimonies of electoral violence, arbitrary arrests, and the profiling of diaspora families.
🤝 The EU reaffirmed its commitment to monitoring the implementation of the recent resolution on Uganda and following up on individual cases, including that of Bobi Wine.
⚠️ We raised concerns about biased asylum assessments for Ugandans and the need for verifiable evidence to support targeted sanctions.
🛡️ We challenged the EU's consideration of military training by highlighting the colonial origins of the UPDF and NUP's vision for a people-protecting army.

The message was clear: The diaspora is watching, and the struggle for democracy in Uganda continues. We thank Ms. Hojni and Mr. Varadi for their open-door policy. Now, the work of engaging Member States and gathering evidence begins.

Today, we successfully demonstrated outside the @EU_Commission Parliament in Brussels, raising our voices against the continued dictatorship of Yoweri Museveni.

We engaged with journalists and EU Parliament officials, calling for accountability, human rights, and an end to political repression in Uganda.

The international community must not ignore the cries of our people.
