THE WEAPONIZATION OF EXTRADITION TREATIES BY DOMINANT POWERS AGAINST THE WEAKER STATES, AND THE PERPETUATION OF NEO-COLONIAL LEGACY:
Uganda has agreed to extradite its National, a one, MICHAEL KATUNGI, to U.S to be tried for crimes he allegedly committed there. Can U.S extradite its National to Uganda to be tried? The answer is NEVER! That's why it is not a party to the ICC protocol; because they can not allow their citizens to be tried by FOREIGN JURISDICTIONS. And, indeed, in CIVIL-LAW Countries, like France, Germany, Russia, Japan..., there are strict CONSTITUTIONAL/Statutory PROHIBITIONS against handing their NATIONALS over to foreign Countries to be tried.
Because, in essence, it is an abuse of the Principle of the SOVEREIGNTY OF STATES and the Principle of SOCIAL CONTRACT, ie, The SOVEREIGN STATE'S DUTY TO PROTECT ITS NATIONALS. More so, when such EXTRADITION TREATY LACKS THE POWER OF RECIPROCITY, ie, POWER ASYMMETRY, like we see in this case.
Therefore, Uganda must evoke what's known as the ACTIVE PERSONALITY PRINCIPLE where we ASSERT our own CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM against our Citizens for crimes they could have committed abroad. Therefore, Uganda must reject the EXTRADITION of KATUNGI to U.S, and instead, subject him to our own Criminal Trial, here. By so doing, we serve both JUSTICE AND OUR SOVEREIGNTY.
Even in the CA, some of us were against these one-way-traffic EXTRADITION TREATIES. But then, like now, our economic dependency and the never ending conditional aid and leverage nonsense, always determine the outcome!
It is therefore a shame, to extradite our National to U.S when U.S CAN NEVER EXTRADITE AN AMERICAN TO UGANDA. Doing so is a clear sign of the modern MASTER-SLAVE NEO-COLONIAL RELATIONS; where historical subjugation evolved into these, even, not so subtle systems of DOMINANATION.
SHAME, Uganda 🇺🇬!
Lukwago committed the ultimate crime. Accusing me of violating human rights when I am the biggest defender of human rights in Uganda. When I was fighting Joseph Kony in Northern Uganda he was doing nothing apart from impregnating women in Kampala.
On my brother @FrankGashumba threatening to start another M23 in Uganda, we shall call him and discuss his issues in the PLU Central Committee. Point of information, I outrank ndugu Gashumba both in Rwanda and Eastern DRC.
All NRA/M commanders & leaders owned one house in Kololo, Naguru, Buziga, Gaba, etc. Most of these houses were acquired from National Housing Company using salary loans. Then came us, who joined at City Square — a house on every hill in Kampala & 5 farmhouses across Uganda!
JUST IN: President @KagutaMuseveni has reportedly ordered a probe into former Speaker @AnitahAmong over alleged money laundering and corruption.
Sources say security operatives are focusing on cash suspected to be hidden inside the residence, with searches and investigations said to be ongoing.
Further details are still emerging.

Kai, Eze, Hincapie, Big Gabi, Rice & Saliba were amaizing today. Unfortunately we lost the game but the title race is still open. Let's win our remaining fixtures 💪 #COYG
🇺🇬Leadership isn't defined by the suits we wear or the halls we sit in, it’s defined by the work we do on the ground. While others focus on high level politics, I remain rooted in the service of our people and the protection of our national heritage.
A true Speaker must be a guardian. Just as I stand here watching over this herd, I am ready to stand in the August House to guard the dignity of our Parliament and the resources of every Ugandan taxpayer. My Independent ticket is my promise, I am a leader of the people, for the people, and I am ready to lead with the same care and firmness I show here in the field. For God and My Country 🇺🇬.
"The 12th Parliament needs a Speaker who stays grounded. Ready to serve! 🇺🇬" #PersisPrincess #IndependentVoice

🚨 Arteta says he’s upset Arsenal don’t score more set-pieces: “I'm upset that we don't score more set-pieces and that we concede as well!”.
“We want to be the best and the most dominant team in every aspect of the game. That's the trajectory and the aim of this team”.
.@Mbidde: Hon. Ssekikubo might be a victim of the "éminence grise". These are people who wield power without holding any positions of power.
