“A family in the Middle East booked me for millions, only for 3 people to show up. The daughter made me perform ‘Lonely’ for 2 hours while laughing. That’s when I realized I was just a jester to them.”

I am shocked and deeply distressed.
After 7pm tonight, my partner @kizzabesigye1 was bundled up and taken back to Luzira Prison.
When I left KB at 4.30pm, he still could not walk or talk. At lunch, I fed him soft food with a spoon because his arms and hands remain very weak.
He cannot yet care for himself.

Yesterday, @kizzabesigye1 was only partially conscious. He could hear but could not speak. He remains extremely weak. Doctors are still trying to determine what happened to him.
Our family received a briefing from the Mulago doctors treating KB. Yet Prison Officer Siima denied me, his next of kin, the right to join the briefing by phone. His reason? He “didn’t have permission.”
This is the arrogance of arbitrary power. Even at a patient’s bedside, basic rights and human dignity are treated as privileges to be granted or withheld. I am on my way from Rio to be with my spouse. Stand aside, Siima. No one will keep me from him.
Today, July 19, 2026, I, a Ugandan citizen, propose that henceforth, from grade I magistrates to Supreme Court justices, spend a mandatory 24 hours resident at a Ugandan prison as part of their induction.
I propose that the Hon. Joel B. Ssenyonyi MP, Nakawa West, table my bill.
Russia’s “Special Military Operation” in Ukraine has redefined modern warfare. Sadly, it’s real lives that are still being lost, not a video game character running out of life refills.
32 years ago, the West made a deal with the Rwandan genocidal regime.
The deal that sealed the fate of the Tutsi.
In this documentary, U.S. officials confirm it.
"The deal we made was that in return for safe passage for our diplomats, we would not take any Rwandan citizens with us. We left our U.S. government employees colleagues to fend for themselves," says Prudence Bushnell, then Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs.
Laura Lane, then an officer at the U.S. embassy, recalls:
"To this day, I always thought I got lucky. But now I realise it was part of the plan to get us out."
As she concludes, the genocidaires wanted a license to kill, and they got it, without any resistance.
From that moment on, they knew the West wouldn't stand in their way as they proceeded with the next phase of their plan: the extermination of the Tutsi.
The US made the deal; the French and the Belgians sent in their troops to enforce it.
Thirty-two years is not a long time. For some of us, it feels like yesterday.
And so: yesterday, they evacuated their people, and even their dogs, and left our people to die.
Now, when the FDLR launches attacks from neighbouring DRC, they issue travel warnings to their own citizens.
But interestingly enough, they expect us to remove our defensive measures before the FDLR, the very genocidal group they've supposedly spent billions on peacekeeping missions to neutralise, is dealt with.
So we have to ask:
Have they made another deal with the devil?
A deal not just to exterminate the Banyamulenge and other Tutsi communities in Congo, but one that extends to the destruction of Rwanda itself.

Deal done! Cameroon's🇨🇲 President Paul #Biya, 93, now free to handpick his constitutional successor, in case of his death, resignation or incapacity, after parliament voted overwhelmingly Saturday to approve a constitutional amendment to reintroduce the position of vice president.
In a joint session of the ruling party-dominated National Assembly and Senate, lawmakers voted 200 to 18 in favour, with four abstentions, to pass the bill.
The bill stipulates that the vice president will automatically assume the presidency if President Paul Biya dies, resigns, or becomes incapacitated.
Biya has ruled Cameroon since 1982 and is the world's oldest serving head of state. Public discussion about his health is banned.
