The despotic behaviour of the Ugandan president’s son may suggest he is confident of his role as heir apparent. Or it may signal the opposite. Either way, dark days could lie ahead https://t.co/yZE1mzpHCr
Dear @SueNsibirwa, please know that you are loved, valued, and deeply appreciated by countless Ugandans.
You stood at the helm of a media house that chose truth over fear, courage over silence, and remained steadfast in telling the stories of the people exactly as they were, without bending to intimidation or surrendering to the demands of tyranny.
No matter what happens, history has already chosen your side. You are a hero of this generation, and when the pages of Uganda’s story are written, your name and face will stand among those who refused to kneel before oppression.
Tomorrow 26th june I'm wearing a short trousered suit because justice, constitutionalism, rule of law has been cut short, we are striking not against the law but for the law
One day we felt like the Admin wasn’t listening to our concerns, so we started an early morning strike with the aim of mobilizing students to attack parliament. In all strikes, police made sure we don’t leave the gates of Makerere.
But Tabz came up with a military plan. We organized two battalions. One had to go via the main gate and another camouflaged non violently towards Kikoni. “Commander Paul, you move with me to Kikoni…”, he said.
So we sloped from freedom square via Lumumba and Makerere play grounds. Meanwhile, the other violent battalion was sloping towards the main gate and the entire police focused on those.
We successfully got out to Kikoni and we were joined by the Kikoni group from Kann, Douglas Villa, Baskon etc. We marched on but unfortunately we were intercepted around City Oil on Bombo road and dispersed. The march to parliament was unsuccessful, however a statement was made.
We had caused terror in the city and the media was on us. The next day, the admin recalled the policies and resolved the matter.
That was the Makerere Tabz of those days.
Now that you’re all looking at my timeline for updates, let me use this chance to ask you kindly to retweet this shoe until it reaches the person in whose foot it fits!
