If, or should I say when, the current status quo changes in Uganda, we’ll have to live with its proponents.
Besides the very few members of the ruling elite who can flee the country, the vast majority of its supporters have nowhere else to go. Uganda is our only home. They, and their families, will be here.
It therefore behooves the supporters of the current establishment to take a long-term view, and to educate themselves, that patriotism is not a forced love of the country, but our ability to accommodate each other in our diversity - knowing that power is transient, a revolving door - and that our collective security lies in our abilities to accommodate each other.
Today’s Muhoozi’s are tomorrow’s Malyamungus (Amin’s dreaded henchman), today’s Birungis (now Otto -the (in)famous CMI) are tomorrow’s Rwakasis or Buturus (Obote’s vicious enforcers).
As Martin Luther King Jr. said, we must learn to live together as brothers (and sisters) or perish as fools.

The offices remain under military siege following an order by President Museveni's son and military chief Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba to shut down Nation Media Group (NMG) Uganda outlets.
A similar siege has been reported at the NTV and Spark TV broadcast centre at Serena Hotel since around 12am on Sunday, where military officials have since taken the stations off air.
Other affected outlets include Dembe FM, KFM, and The East African, all under NMG.
