Mwami Andrew Mwenda, not everything is about Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba or PLU. Stop turning every damn thing into your own payday. Can the people of Tooro just mourn the loss of their dear King in peace without you lot inserting yourselves everywhere?
Binno bya Nono ssi kerere!

Message from Kenya on #BesigyeTrial@edwinsifuna
When Kizza Besigye's body gave way in that Ugandan courtroom, it was not a man surrendering. It was a broken body exposing a broken state. As he cried, "Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!" before collapsing onto the cold floor of the suspects' dock, the illusion of justice collapsed with him. His fall became the final indictment of a court that had long abandoned the law.
The judge fled. The prosecutors vanished. The carefully rehearsed theatre of persecution disintegrated in seconds. The witness, so eager to peddle a tale of treason, could not withstand the weight of truth. The men who had come to choreograph a conviction suddenly discovered that no script exists for courage. A single collapsing body scattered an entire machinery of intimidation.
That is the irony of tyranny. Dictators spend years constructing monuments of fear, only for one act of defiance to expose that they were built on sand. The regime wanted the world to see a prisoner. Instead, the world saw a government terrified of one frail, exhausted man.
And Kenya watched.
We watched with rage. We watched with shame. We watched knowing that Dr. Besigye's nightmare did not begin in Kampala alone. It passed through Nairobi. Under President William Ruto's administration, Besigye was abducted on Kenyan soil and delivered into the hands of his persecutors. That stain cannot be washed away by official statements or diplomatic niceties. It will remain one of the darkest betrayals of Kenya's constitutional values and its long-standing commitment to asylum, liberty and the rule of law.
We also watched our Ugandan brothers and sisters with heavy hearts. Dictatorships do not survive because they are strong, they survive because fear becomes normal. But history has never been rewritten by the comfortable. Every generation eventually reaches a moment when silence becomes more painful than resistance. That choice belongs to the people Uganda.
As Kenyans, our own verdict awaits the ballot box. Those who collaborated in this shameful chapter will answer to the sovereign will of the people. In a constitutional democracy, power is borrowed—not owned. Those who misuse it eventually return it, whether willingly or by force of the ballot.
Africa's struggles are not confined by colonial borders. When freedom is assaulted in Kampala, Nairobi cannot pretend to be untouched. When justice is kidnapped in one African nation, every African has a stake in its return. Our destinies are intertwined.
Kizza Besigye may have collapsed, but it was not his spirit that fell. It was the mask of an unjust system. His body hit the floor, and a kangaroo court lost its legitimacy before the eyes of Africa and the world.
Lit sana.

YOUR COLLAPSE COLLAPSED COURT!
“Stop, stop, stop, stop!”
“Stop, stop, stop, stop!”
Your voice boomed loud while you collapsed.
You collapsed shouting “STOP!”
You collapsed onto the hard floor.
You collapsed in the suspects’ dock.
You collapsed at the feet of Obeid and Denis
And the prison wards congesting the dock.
You collapsed and collapsed the kangaroo court.
The naked judge shot up and ran out of court.
He abandoned his farcical kangaroo court.
No “orders from above” prepped him for combat.
The naked state prosecutors slithered out of court.
They abandoned their farcical witness examination.
No rehearsals prepped them for your defiance.
The naked white witness stomped out of court.
He abandoned his false testimony about treason.
No mercenary’s pay prepped him for your truths.
The prison wards carried your unconscious body.
They ferried your defiant body into an ambulance.
Olive, your sister-doctor was denied access to you.
Lulume and Kamara were denied access to you.
Three medical doctors, present in court, looked on.
Your loved ones present in court, looked on.
Your haters who schemed the plot, looked on.
Ugandans, near and far, watched and looked on.
The world watched the news and looked on…
Your collapse collapsed the kangaroo court!
Members of the Uganda Women’s Movement across all generations have camped at Luzira court the whole day, waiting for the outcome of Hon. Dr. Miria Matembe’s bail application.

Alan, should I take my kid to an International School?
Me- No. I did it with mine. I wouldn’t recommend it for yours.
Why?
Me- Mine would eventually end up going to school in the UK so they needed to be in that system. You get?
Yes. What would you do different?
Me- Get a good school with solid governance. Strong parent and OB/OG involvement and educate them in a Ug system until they finish their undergraduate degrees.
It’s cheaper and they need a solid base. A good OB/OG network etc.
And then?
Me- Save that money you’d have used on international schools for their post graduate education. Send them to LSE, KCL, OxBridge etc. I don’t know about the US unis these days.
Really?
That’s what I would do. You do whatever you deem best for your child.
We are all like Prince George on this great video when we realize that we will have one or more new pictures of him tomorrow to mark his 9th birthday on Friday 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 I'm so excited to see our little man again and to celebrate him 🥳🥳❤️❤️❤️❤️
