Soon I will be very big👊
This hypocrisy is sickening!!
Why invoke Jesus’ name and pretend to be God fearing while standing comfortably beside a tyrant who tortures and kills people for fun? The very people you claim to care about!
Ask yourself what Jesus would say about standing with power while the weak are being oppressed by those in power.
If you’re just ignorant about what is happening in Uganda, then educate yourself. But if you know what is happening and you choose to endorse it because of the money, then your character and integrity is highly questionable.
Black lives cannot matter only when it is convenient.
For four months, Dr. Lina Zedriga Waru has been acting President of our Party. During this period, she has steered the party well and kept the revolution alive. We're all very grateful for her dedication and service.
As her tenure comes to an end, I am pleased to announce that Hon. John Baptist Nambeshe, Deputy President Eastern Region, will be taking over as acting President of the National Unity Platform. I wish him well and request all leaders and comrades to accord him the necessary support.

As an ex-political-prisoner, I can only imagine what Dr Miria Mirembe underwent last night. For many elite women in Uganda, it is shameful to go to prison - any prison, let alone Luzira Women Prison. The shame surrounding imprisonment is much worse for those who are role models, elders, authority figures, mothers, wives and those who are religious. It takes a lot of hard work on oneself to refuse the shame projected on prisoners.
The first day and night at Luzira is the worst experience for most women. The drive from court to prison is terrible. The fear of what will be done to them in prison, combines with worries about household dependents left back home. Entering the prison grounds is like entering a monster. The shame of totally undressing in order to change into a prison uniform breaks many adults. The mandatory demand to remove all underwear and spread the legs for inspection by prison wardresses totally humiliates the new prisoner. I witnessed many crying with shame at this point.
The ward one is assigned in Luzira Women’s Prison determines how the entire experience as a prisoner will proceed. Many loud political prisoners on remand are assigned to the notorious Ward 2 in order to subdue them. If they are perceived to be calmer and without need of taming, then they are assigned to Ward 1. If they are wealthy, they are assigned to Ward 5 where dealers go. If they are ill and wealthy, they might sleep in the Sick Bay with several prisoners who are either ill, pregnant or new mothers.
Entering the ward is a shock to all sensibilities! The congestion of women prisoners sitting jam-packed on the floor is terrorising. One is shoved inside. The doors are banged shut and locked from outside. One has to proceed through the stuffy ward in order to find a spot to sit. Often, there is space only next to the smelly squat toilets. Most prisoners without a personal mattress brought from home must sleep on the hard cement floor of the prison ward. A thin grey blanket is given, if available. Most prisoners without a bucket from home must bathe from the shared prison buckets. Most prisoners without food from home must sleep on an empty stomach and await porridge at about 10:00AM thebfolloqijg morning.
I wonder where Dr Miria Matembe slept last night. I wonder what she ate for supper last night. I wonder if she was able to bathe in the prison bathrooms last night. I wonder whether she was given an old or new prison uniform. I wonder whether she was given support for her painful back and shoulder.
In Museveni’s military dictatorship, prison is the second home of every critic! Rather than a shame, being a political prisoner is an honour. Yes, it is an honour to go to prison for questioning or criticising the failures and excesses of Uganda’s misrulers.
This was Hon. Miria Matembe pleading with the Magistrate to allow her to go for treatment for her back. "At least Amin used to shoot you, po! But this kind of breaking......." She said.
For context, this senior citizen was one of the eminent Ugandans who traversed this country seeking views on the 1995 Constitution! As I saw her crying out, I couldn't help but imagine what was going on in her mind. Mulimba mutufuze bubi nnyo!
#FreeUgandaNow
First, there was a wave of abductions of @NUP_Ug supporters - mostly targeting foot soldiers. Some people said those were hooligans who deserved to be taught a lesson. "Even hooligans deserve due process.", we cried out. Many people looked the other way.
Now, they're abducting the most accomplished in our society.
Maybe if we had worked collectively to protect the lowest in our society, the regime would never have been emboldened to come for the highest in our society.
The same lesson applies to those who are indifferent to the happenings, whether they feel safe on account of being in power, close to those in power, or simply unconcerned.

I wish to know if they are dead or live. Their loved ones wish so too.
I wish to inform you monsters that you're not immortal. Your time will come soon, and you or your children will pay for all the pain you have inflicted on Ugandans.
She's either a mother or she has a mother, but she went ahead to remand a woman her mother's age, who she clearly knows has no crime whatsoever.
Mulifa lumbeeki bantumwe?
Uganda versus Miria Matembe? I am not among those Ugandans on whose behalf you claim to be pressing charges against Hon. Miria Matembe. I hold her in the highest respect.
#IStandWithMiriaMatembe
Two leading civil society leaders and distinguished lawyers, Dr. Sarah Bireete E.D @ccgea1 and Eunice Musiime E.D @amwaafrika are the latest victims of the ongoing criminality. They have been abducted by the military and driven off to an unknown destination. These are definitely tough times, but the TOUGH PEOPLE OF UGANDA will outlive them. Uganda will be free!
