Ladies and gentlemen, Uganda is being warned, and this time the warning is coming from The New York Times!

An article by Megan Stack, a contributing opinion writer, is raising serious questions about the authoritarian future taking shape in Uganda under the influence of Muhoozi Kainerugaba and an increasingly intrusive security apparatus.

The article, titled “The Authoritarian Future Is Already Here,” paints a deeply troubling picture of a country where citizens increasingly fear that there is nowhere to hide. Stack describes what she calls a growing web of state surveillance, enabled in part by foreign technology.

Her warning is chilling: technology has created an intrusive eye that never blinks, giving authoritarian governments new ways to monitor citizens and suppress dissent.

Think about that for a moment. Your phone, your online activity and your digital footprint could become tools of surveillance rather than instruments of freedom.

Stack also revisits details surrounding the treatment of writer Kakwenza Rukirabashaija after his detention, including evidence of degrading treatment and sexual humiliation by Muhoozi Muhoozi.

And here is what should worry every Ugandan: when surveillance expands and people fear the consequences of speaking, the damage goes beyond individual victims. It reaches journalists, activists, opposition supporters and ordinary citizens who simply want to express their opinions without fear.

A country does not lose its freedoms in one dramatic moment. Sometimes the space to speak shrinks gradually, criticism becomes risky, and citizens only realize how much has changed when fear has become part of everyday life.

Ugandans should not wait until everyone is afraid to ask questions before asking what is happening to their country.

This is bigger than one politician, one journalist or one newspaper article. It is about privacy, accountability, freedom of expression and the kind of future Ugandans want to live in.

Because once surveillance becomes normal and fear becomes routine, reclaiming lost freedoms can become much harder.

The warning is there. The question is whether Uganda will pay attention.

"Ugandans have discovered that, increasingly, there is nowhere to hide. Civic life here is defined by thickening webs of state surveillance built with foreign help. ... Technology has created an intrusive eye that never blinks, a stealthy weapon for dictators keen to stifle speech and thought."

To Chris Magezi, he just a junior officer; but to Ugandans, he is the most qualified man in uniform in Uganda today.

Good night home people!

If Gov’t disputes the videos of torture houses, and the disabled Sam Mugumya, we challenge them to produce him and the other abducted people in court and we all see the state in which they are.

Abductions, illegal detentions, torture, and violations of the law should be condemned by everyone regardless of political affiliation.

Deepest condolences to you Hon. @MarthaKarua on the passing of your beloved father, Mwalimu Jackson Karua. We stand in prayerful solidarity with you and your family during this period of grief.

Lt. Mabonga is shredding the cabbage. 😂

[BOBI WINE @HEBobiwine]

Here is a letter which Lt. Mabonga Herbert Matanda wrote to Hon. Muwanga Kivumbi while he was in that torture chamber, where he spent 19 days. He passed on the original letter to him, but took a picture of it, which he released yesterday.

Mabonga represents thousands of senior, mid-level and junior officers in all departments of UPDF, police and intelligence services who vehemently oppose the criminal system but are held captive and cannot speak out. The only difference is that Mabonga had the courage to speak out. We have long told the people of Uganda that each time we're arrested or abducted, these officers will approach us and tell us how they're more disgusted by the system than most people can imagine.

Those who agree with the system and its atrocities are a very small fraction who are privileged and benefit from the pervasive corruption and nepotism within the forces. I remain hopeful that one day, the patriotic officers will have enough courage to stand with the oppressed people of Uganda and live true to their oath to pay allegiance to the nation of Uganda and not the falling regime of blood and national shame. UGANDA WILL BE FREE!

Thanks to Lt. Mabonga Herbert Matanda, we now have copies of documents detailing entries of Ugandans and non-Ugandans at the torture chamber located at Abayita Ababiri, along Entebbe Road. As you can see, the entries show some of the people who were abducted and attracted considerable uproar, but it also includes many people who most of us don't know about.

The documents detail the booking into the 'safe house' of Rwangomani Amos (Hon. Kahinda Otafiire brother), Mugumya Sam, Bob Njagi and Oyoo Nicholas (our Kenyan brothers), Asiku Raymond, Father Ssekabira Deusdedit, Ssebuwufu John Mary, Muhumuza Bright, Deputy President Lina Zedriga, Deputy President Jolly Jacklyn Tukamushaba, Fauzia Natabi (comrade Najja Sherif's wife), Gideon Tugume, Naziwa Agathar aka Blue Tick, Hon. Miria Matembe, Zale Christopher, Deputy President Muwanga Kivumbi, etc.

Comrades, what just happened is evidence that we're on the course to victory. Who knew that the people of Uganda would have a sneak peek into one of the torture chambers operated by Museveni and his criminal son?!

Lieutenant Herbert Matanda Mabonga 🇺🇬❤🫡 This message is worth your LIKE and Repost!

[BOBI WINE @HEBobiwine]

Glad to see comrades Bobi Young and Saudah Madaada back home to their families after spending nearly 2½ years and 1 year, respectively, in jail on politically motivated charges.

Welcome back home comrades, and be sure that this painful sacrifice you have made for the sake of a better Uganda will be vindicated. Those who unjustly imprisoned you will one day be held to account for their crimes.

Question is, is there a lie in what he’s said? You people should stop being lenient to the shameless nincompoops whose greed and oppression ain’t lenient to you! Stop it!

[Jim Spire Ssentongo @SpireJim]

I found people dancing to it last night, at a small pub in Zzana, screaming ‘Tuva Masaka’. That was fast!

The launch will be in Lweera. Someone contact Ssuuna Ben/ Mbaziira to do for us a Kinyanyanyanya version. Video coming soon, with all the lights and Masaka life.

Dear @PoliceUg
At least mobilise support for this family that your officer devastated
