Congratulations @RubiitoAbel1121 upon this milestone 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🫡🫡✍️✍️
Today, I once more joined Hon. @BalaamBarugahar and team at ‘Expose the Corrupt Baraza’ in Kabale district, Kigezi Sub Region where over 70 market vendors secured working spaces provided by the Government following the cancellation of illegal landlords in Kabale Central Market.
This is a reminder that when illegal exploitation is confronted, ordinary citizens stand a chance to reclaim their livelihoods and dignity. We must continue exposing corruption, defending the rights of hardworking Ugandans, and demanding accountability at every level.
The Baraza also witnessed a massive endorsement rally for our CDF,Gen. @mkainerugaba for the 2031 presidency and beyond, connecting the fight against corruption with a vision for Uganda’s future.
Kigezi for Gen @mkainerugaba 🙏🙏🙏
Yesterday, in my home district of Rukiga, I joined Hon Minister @BalaamBarugahar at ‘Expose the Corrupt Baraza’ to condemn corruption in the strongest terms possible.
Corruption must end! It is a betrayal of public trust, a theft of the people’s future, and a grave injustice to citizens who deserve better. Every coin stolen from public service is a service denied, a dream frustrated, and a life potentially put at risk.
We must expose corruption, demand accountability, and ensure that no individual is above the law. Public office is a responsibility to serve, not an opportunity to plunder.
Enough is enough! Let integrity prevail, let accountability be non-negotiable, and let the fight against corruption begin with every one of us. We appreciate all the efforts of our president H.E @KagutaMuseveni in polishing Uganda’s future 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Our next president of Uganda come 2031 and beyond CDF, Gen. @mkainerugaba is determined to ensure a corruption-free Uganda 🇺🇬
Loading…..📌📌📌
The Africa we deserve book launch is also set to first have a panel of young well established brilliant minds discussing theme,The role of the youth in shaping the future of Africa. And then we shall have our Guests of the day to share with us about the Africa we deserve 📌 📌
Mzee H.E @KagutaMuseveni's legacy must be protected jealously;
He is the African revolutionary baton holder, having received it from Mwalimu Julius Kambarage Nyerere of 2nd generation,
He is the reason our economy has grown exponentially to $75bn, with projected growth at $500bn in 2040,
He is the reason UPDF has transformed from a bush army to a professional army, now exporting peace in the neighbouring countries,
He is the reason Uganda is peaceful. Those who know, know.
He is the reason Uganda's diplomatic bar keeps rising high, improved health care, massive transformation in the education sector and increased innovation and creativity in the ICT sector.
Finally, with the discovery, exploration and drilling of 'sweet oil' Uganda's future is super guaranteed. We must keep enemies of progress away 💪.
In you, Gen @mkainerugaba , we are guaranteed of continuity at all costs.
Long live Mzee
Long live CDF
Alutta continua
Wish you all the best!
Independence ended with a delightful email ❤️ see you Ghanaians 🇬🇭 🇬🇭
Capt Damson’s submission is a worthwhile read for young leaders of Africa, offering profound reflections on Pan-Africanism, patriotism, & our responsibility to love & transform our motherland. We need to put such ideas to action. @africa_kwetu @YalfAfrica @ASG_Africa 🌍🌍🌍
Your Excellency Sir
@KagutaMuseveni
, thank you for opening up this timely Pan African debate for which I am passionate about.
“UNTIL AFRICA IS CONFRONTED WITH AN EXISTENTIAL THREAT EQUIVALENT TO COLONIALISM, AFRICAN UNITY REMAINS A DREAM,
“UNTIL EVERY AFRICAN LEADER SEES AND TREATS IMPERIALIST OR AGENTS OF IMPERIALISM AS AN EMINENT DANGER, A LION ADVANCING TO ATTACK PREY, AFRICAN UNITY REMAINS A DREAM”
Sir, in your post, you argued the young people to rally behind the African economic integration and the African Political integration. Yes, this is what Africa needs; young or old, black or white, believers or non-believers, living in Africa or in the diaspora.
The barbaric colonisation of Africa was facilitated by characters like King Leopold 11 who in 1883 wrote a letter to the missionaries in Africa to interpret the bible in a way that protected and promoted their interests. To indoctrinate young people so they don’t revolt, to offer total submission and obedience. The following biblical verses would be recited recited on a daily basis, Matthew 5:3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven" Matthew 19:23–24: "Truly, I say to you, only with difficulty will a rich person enter the kingdom of heaven. Again, I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God." Luke 16:19-27 “The parable of the poor man and the rich man” Poor man died, went to heaven. Rich man died and went to hell.
In 1835, another notable British figure, Lord Macaulay produced a reconnaissance report to British Parliament that paved way for European colonisation. He proposed the replacement of the ancient rich African civilisation (governance, trade, architecture, science etc), break the cultural backbone, devilise their strong religious beliefs, destroy their defence systems, halt their technological advancement by cutting off figures of those who were engaged in blacksmith etc. This was meant to mentally colonise them that everything foreign is better than their own, so they lose their self-esteem, their culture, develop self-hatred etc. This approach was applied in all British colonies. It took the British 50 years strategizing on how to subjugate us (1835 – 1885). Recently, the 81st UN General Assembly was held in New York, the Israel-Palestinian crisis took centre stage. Africa, our motherland, is engrossed in similar or worse crisis in over ten countries (Cabo Delgado-Mozambique, Eastern DRC, CAR, Somalia, Tigray-Ethiopia, Darfur-Sudan, Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, Biafra-Nigeria, Ambazonia-Cameroon etc) but not a single African president mentioned about one, even in passing. Tragedy of Africa. ‘Eshongo nokweririra’.
In respect to the above, critical questions must come into our minds to properly comprehend where we are coming from, how we got there, where we are, where we need to be and what we need to do different to get there; Why was Africa colonized? Are they the same reasons for the current state of affairs? Why was Ethiopia able to escape colonialism? Is the Sahel states model a beacon of hope to be replicated? Who will be our voice at such UN fora if our leaders don’t? How do we adopt a democracy that suits Africa’s unique situation? What must we do different to achieve Kwame Nkrumah’s dream? Who are the Kwame Nkrumah’s of today in the 54 countries? Who can mobilise them to have one voice, to speak up unceasingly? What action do we need to take, not when, but now?
Sir, as a revolutionary leader, our Jajja, our Ssaabalwanyi, our mentor, you were there during the independence struggles, you keenly followed the events, you got enraged by leaders who betrayed us at and post-independence and you therefore committed the rest of your life to undoing this mess by being at the forefront of these regional liberation struggles like FRELIMO-Mozambique, fighting dictators like Idi Amin of Uganda, Mubutu Sese Seko Kuku Ngbengu wa za Banga of Congo, Jean-Bedel Bokassa of CAR, Omar Hassan Ahmad al-Bashir of Sudan etc.
The uniqueness of the first, second and third generation freedom fighters was that; They dreamt in unanimity, They felt pain in unanimity, They spoke in unanimity, and They acted in unanimity.
Permit me to use a historical perspective to draw the attention of Africans to understand why and when Pan Africanism agitation started, its proponents and why it was achieved after 60 years.
As early as 1900, the first generation of anti-colonial freedom fighters of the African–American and Caribbean origin kickstarted the Pan African journey led by figures like; Slyvester Williams, W.E.D Du Bois, Marcus Mosiah Garvey, George Padmore, later joined by Pixley ka Isaka Seme, who together with John Langalibalele Dube, Sol Praatje founded South African Native National Congress (SANNC) in 1912 which metamorphosed into ANC in 1923, the oldest party in Africa.
Then a second generation emerged in the 1940s; Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana, Sekou Toure of Guinea, Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe of Nigeria, Modibe Keita of Mali, Sylvanus Olympio of Togo, Amilcar Cabraal of Guinea Bissau, Gamel Abdu Nasser of Egypt, Ahmed Ben Bella of Algeria, Nelson Mandela of https://t.co/lXvpqi7BWE, Mwalimu Julius Nyerere Kambarage of Tanzania, Hastings Kamzo Banda of Malawi, Kenneth Kaunda of Zambia, Edwardo Dos Santos of Angola, Jomo Kinyatta of Kenya, Muammar Gadhafi of Libya, Samora Moises Machel of Mozambique, Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe etc
Then the third generation of the 1960s comprised of Yourself, John Garang De Mabior of South Sudan, Meles Zenawi of Ethiopia, Daniel Arap Moi of Kenya, Ali Hassan Mwinyi of Tanzania etc, to which you hold the present-day relay race baton. You are the hope of the young people, you are the hope of E.African political integration and ultimately the hope of African economic integration.
Prominent Pan-Africanists who pushed for radical solutions to Africa’s problems were immediately eliminated; Kwame Nkrumah in 1957, in his independence speech, he said, “the independence of Ghana is meaningless if it’s not linked up with total liberation of Africa”. And in 1963, at the meeting of 32 independent heads of state in Addis had this to say “our goal is African Unity now…. we must unite now or perish. After three years, he was ousted. Patrice Emile Lumumba forcefully gave a fiery, defiant speech at Congolese independence in 1960 detailing the brutality of the Belgian rule, he was assassinated after six months together with his vice president Joseph Okito and a one minister, Maurice Mpolo. Capt Thomas Isidole Sankara in 1987, OAU summit in Addis Ababa pushed for a united front against debt, urging African states to collectively refuse external debt repayment. That it was our money coming back to us in ‘mwezunguruko’. He was assassinated after three months. Col Gadhafi Muamar advocated for the United States of Africa. In 2010, while in Senegal, he proposed forming a one million strong joint African military to protect the continents sovereignty and counter outsider powers like NATO. NATO assassinated him within one year.
In short, Kwame Nkrumah spearheaded a United States Africa, his dream was buried by imperialists, Sankara resurrected it, same fate, Gadhafi resurrected it, same fate, President Traole of Burkina Faso has resurrected it by asking the French and their ECOWAS to go to hell, now, He is number one on the imperialist hit list. So far 30 attempted coups have been foiled. Paul’s letter to the Galatians; Gal:3:1 who bewitched us, Africans? He needs our immediate military protection Sir.
Therefore, does the current situation in Africa qualify the philosophical question that ‘the greatest leaders are produced in time of intense crisis’, an alarming crisis that makes it extremely hard for people to work, eat or sleep? How then shall we realise an existential threat since Africa has surpassed this stage and is in the comfort of; 1. Too much food to eat and shelter (comfort zone). 2. Worshiping muzungu and anything foreign. 3. Disunited along ethnic, linguistic and pomposity lines. 4. Begging syndrome in form of Aid, Grants, Donations etc. 5. Greed, low self-esteem and need to retain presidential titles. 6. Branding liberators like President Traole dictators. etc
We need to take bold and decisive actions like the Alliance of the Sahel States (advocate for; one army, common citizenship, a common market, one currency, one Central Bank, one foreign policy etc). We need to overhaul the tools they used and are still using to promote imperialism. This will definitely take a while and some of us may never be there to witness it. Besides a generational leader is that one who plants a tree with no hope of ever enjoying its fruits. Henceforth let's maintain the drive so the future generations can have it better than us.
The 13 north American colonies under the stewardship of George Washington won their independence from Great Britain in 1776, they didn’t want to taste the presidential titles of their small states, focused at the bigger picture of an economically, politically and militarily emancipated United States of America. Mwalimu Julius Nyerere Kambarage shared same view. He was willing to delay the independence of Tanganyika so that Uganda and Kenya would celebrate a federated independence together. Obote and Kinyatta couldn’t listen.
Your Excellency Sir, the African relay race baton has been changing hands from generation to generation. The generation of Pixley ka Isaka Seme and Emperor Haile Selassie handed over the baton to Kwame Nkrumah, who passed on the baton to Julius Nyerere Kambarage and Nelson Mandela’s generation. Sir, out of your foresight and frustration with the dictatorial regimes in Uganda, you opted to pursue your studies from Dar es Salaam which became the Africa’s ‘river Jordan’ Matthew 3:13 where Mwalimu Nyerere baptised many including yourself. You hold the baton; it's a huge responsibility on your shoulder to mentor a generation to handover the baton to, to keep the forefathers dream alive for a greater united Africa.
We should build onto the unfolding events in the Sahel region to trigger the final assault against imperialism. Thinking and working in unanimity is what will deliver this historical mission.
My plea Your Excellency, using Article 32 of the constitutive Act of African Union adopted on 11th July 2000 – Lome, Togo cause or propose;
1. AU to gazette an African HEROS day to be celebrated in honour of the great revolutionary giants who sacrificed, shade their blood for us to breathe? Some include Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana removed in 1966, Modibe Keita of Mali removed in 1968, Haile Silassie of Ethiopia removed in 1974, Patrice Emile Lumumba of Congo assassinated in 1961, Sylvanus Olympio of Togo assassinated in 1963, Amilcar Cabral of Guniea Bissau assassinated in 1973, Samora Moises Machel of Mozambique assassinated in 1986, Capt Thomas Isidole Sankara of Burkina Faso assassinated in 1987, Col Muammar Gadhafi of Libya assassinated in 2011 etc.
2. Editing of anti-Pan African clauses like Article 4 that suspends liberation regimes which acquire power ‘unconstitutionally’ and calls for non-interference by member states, to give special consideration to liberation struggles fighting imperialism that has kept us suffocated.
3. Recognition of the Sahel States with a view to re-admit them into AU. African solutions to Africa’s issues.
4. African standby force be deployed in the Sahel region to support this daring youthful president who has spat in the face of imperialists, presenting a new wave of African liberation leaders prioritising sovereignty and defiance of neo-colonialism over traditional democratic norms championed by the west. We need to avoid scenarios like what happen with Libya when NATO prevented African intervention which you referred to as zalawo “African presidents on African on an African mission on African soil were ordered by NATO to go back”.
5. The four African regional compatible blocs of the South, East-Central, West and North by re-organising the existing formations like EAC, SADDC etc to absorb more member states with a view to politically federate. 6. Prevention of Afrophobia in the name on Xenophobia, killing the spirit of African-ness and ubuntu.
7. Teaching of African languages and make foreign languages secondary to raise our self-esteem put Africa first? Mandarin in the next 50 years will take lead in global economic transactions. Nyerere used Swahili to unite over 120 tribes of Tanzania.
8. African heads of state to discuss how to end the on-going conflicts beyond the Sahel States. Such intervention at the time of need automatically causes them to think beyond their small countries.
9. Overhaul of the imperialist education system to decolonise our mindset, adopt a curriculum that instils softwares of critical thinking, innovation, invention, African history, African cultural heritage etc. our story continues to be told by others. Our story is written by others. We are defined by others. We must change course. We must find our true north. Time is now. We must write our own story by defining what was, what is and what will be, according to the African comprehension and expectations for the stronger future Africa for Africans.
10. Creation of regional specialised manufacturing hubs to one, end comprador bourgeoise and two, avoid duplication of locally manufactured products that shrinks the internal markets and discourages mass production? For example, Uganda could be left to produce KIRA buses and sell to EAC and to the African markets, Transformers-Tanzania, Volkswagen cars -Rwanda, advanced military equipment-South Africa, Ships-Egypt etc. That way we create a consummative local market for locally produced goods rather than relying on foreign markets. Buy Africa, Build Africa (BABA)
11. Pulling of resources for infrastructural development connecting major cities that will facilitate trade across borders (fast railway networks from Cairo to Cape town, Dakar to Addis Ababa and Dar es salaam to Luanda) Hydroelectricity power dams (R.Congo which can supply power to The entire Africa), in land road construction be prioritised (like Uganda is doing singlehandedly in Eastern DRC).
12. Teaching and adoption of our local languages as ‘main’ to decolonise our mindset, promote trade, raise our self-esteem and enhance a sense of belonging? This will help in the removal of colonial labels of Africans such as Anglophones, Francophones and Lusophones that keeps us divided according to languages of our former colonialists or our neo-colonisers for that matter. We could target Swahili to be the main language by 2070. -Zulu widely spoken in southern Africa -Swahili (neutral) widely spoken in East and Central Africa -Hausa widely spoken in West Africa and -Arabic (neutral) widely spoken in North Africa In my opinion, the continued interference of imperialists in the political, economic and military affairs of innocent 54 nations constitutes an existential threat which we can escalate to ACT as unifying factor to develop a thick skin, thicker than that of a honey badger (Swahili-Nyegere, Luganda-Ntaulila, Runyankole-Ekijuguta) a small animal that repulses lions. Just like Africa's liberation was ignited by the Afro-Caribbean giants, now we equally have a strong ally over there, Prime Minister of Barbados H.E Mia Amor Mottley
@miaamormottley
, who gave a stunning speech at 81 United Nation General Assembly advocating for Africa’s recognition at all levels, restoration of trust and equal treatment before the UN. Kwame Nkrumah when he was asked to summarise his life while seeking admission to the University of Lincoln in America in 1935, he had this to say; “So much to do, So little done” Equally so, John Gunther once said; “So much to do, so little time” Long live Mzee Ssaabalwanyi Long live Uganda Long live E.A Federation Long live United States of Africa

Some include Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana removed in 1966, Modibe Keita of Mali removed in 1968, Haile Silassie of Ethiopia removed in 1974, Patrice Emile Lumumba of Congo assassinated in 1961, Sylvanus Olympio of Togo assassinated in 1963, Amilcar Cabral of Guniea Bissau assassinated in 1973, Samora Moises Machel of Mozambique assassinated in 1986, Capt Thomas Isidole Sankara of Burkina Faso assassinated in 1987, Col Muammar Gadhafi of Libya assassinated in 2011 etc.
2. Editing of anti-Pan African clauses like Article 4 that suspends liberation regimes which acquire power ‘unconstitutionally’ and calls for non-interference by member states, to give special consideration to liberation struggles fighting imperialism that has kept us suffocated.
3. Recognition of the Sahel States with a view to re-admit them into AU. African solutions to Africa’s issues.
4. African standby force be deployed in the Sahel region to support this daring youthful president who has spat in the face of imperialists, presenting a new wave of African liberation leaders prioritising sovereignty and defiance of neo-colonialism over traditional democratic norms championed by the west. We need to avoid scenarios like what happen with Libya when NATO prevented African intervention which you referred to as zalawo “African presidents on African on an African mission on African soil were ordered by NATO to go back”.
5. The four African regional compatible blocs of the South, East-Central, West and North by re-organising the existing formations like EAC, SADDC etc to absorb more member states with a view to politically federate. 6. Prevention of Afrophobia in the name on Xenophobia, killing the spirit of African-ness and ubuntu.
7. Teaching of African languages and make foreign languages secondary to raise our self-esteem put Africa first? Mandarin in the next 50 years will take lead in global economic transactions. Nyerere used Swahili to unite over 120 tribes of Tanzania.
8. African heads of state to discuss how to end the on-going conflicts beyond the Sahel States. Such intervention at the time of need automatically causes them to think beyond their small countries.
9. Overhaul of the imperialist education system to decolonise our mindset, adopt a curriculum that instils softwares of critical thinking, innovation, invention, African history, African cultural heritage etc. our story continues to be told by others. Our story is written by others. We are defined by others. We must change course. We must find our true north. Time is now. We must write our own story by defining what was, what is and what will be, according to the African comprehension and expectations for the stronger future Africa for Africans.
10. Creation of regional specialised manufacturing hubs to one, end comprador bourgeoise and two, avoid duplication of locally manufactured products that shrinks the internal markets and discourages mass production? For example, Uganda could be left to produce KIRA buses and sell to EAC and to the African markets, Transformers-Tanzania, Volkswagen cars -Rwanda, advanced military equipment-South Africa, Ships-Egypt etc. That way we create a consummative local market for locally produced goods rather than relying on foreign markets. Buy Africa, Build Africa (BABA)
11. Pulling of resources for infrastructural development connecting major cities that will facilitate trade across borders (fast railway networks from Cairo to Cape town, Dakar to Addis Ababa and Dar es salaam to Luanda) Hydroelectricity power dams (R.Congo which can supply power to The entire Africa), in land road construction be prioritised (like Uganda is doing singlehandedly in Eastern DRC).
12. Teaching and adoption of our local languages as ‘main’ to decolonise our mindset, promote trade, raise our self-esteem and enhance a sense of belonging? This will help in the removal of colonial labels of Africans such as Anglophones, Francophones and Lusophones that keeps us divided according to languages of our former colonialists or our neo-colonisers for that matter. We could target Swahili to be the main language by 2070. -Zulu widely spoken in southern Africa -Swahili (neutral) widely spoken in East and Central Africa -Hausa widely spoken in West Africa and -Arabic (neutral) widely spoken in North Africa In my opinion, the continued interference of imperialists in the political, economic and military affairs of innocent 54 nations constitutes an existential threat which we can escalate to ACT as unifying factor to develop a thick skin, thicker than that of a honey badger (Swahili-Nyegere, Luganda-Ntaulila, Runyankole-Ekijuguta) a small animal that repulses lions. Just like Africa's liberation was ignited by the Afro-Caribbean giants, now we equally have a strong ally over there, Prime Minister of Barbados H.E Mia Amor Mottley

, who gave a stunning speech at 81 United Nation General Assembly advocating for Africa’s recognition at all levels, restoration of trust and equal treatment before the UN. Kwame Nkrumah when he was asked to summarise his life while seeking admission to the University of Lincoln in America in 1935, he had this to say; “So much to do, So little done” Equally so, John Gunther once said; “So much to do, so little time” Long live Mzee Ssaabalwanyi Long live Uganda Long live E.A Federation Long live United States of Africa
