I joined @TheWorld's @MarcoWerman to discuss why leaders who cling to power at the expense of their people remain one of the world's greatest threats, and why Uganda’s struggle for freedom deserves urgent global attention.
Kindly listen to the interview here:
The world is not looking for experts to fight for freedom. Whoever and wherever you are, just stand up for your people. The world will join you. And God will be on your side. #WeAreRemovingaDictator
A few days from now, it will be three months since Christopher Goddy, a comrade and musician better known as 'King Zale,' was abducted from Kamokya. His family is very distressed, having looked for him everywhere without a trace.
As usual, the regime whose men abducted King Zale remains completely silent about his whereabouts – the same silence it has maintained about all other comrades who have been missing for several years now! We continue demanding for his immediate release from illegal detention and an end to this impunity!
@mkainerugaba@AndrewMwenda Uganda needs independent media for accountability, not military sieges and blackouts. This heavy-handed move only deepens division at a time when unity and press freedom are crucial for stability.
Let’s protect our shared heritage by building a better, more open Uganda for all.
@mkainerugaba, shutting down NTV & Daily Monitor is classic bad NRM governance after 40 years in power. Uganda loses ~10 trillion UGX yearly to corruption.
Silencing critics instead of reforming won't fix these failures, it exposes weakness. Uganda needs accountability.
Museveni’s criminal son, acting with his father’s full approval, has moved to silence Uganda’s remaining independent voices by shutting down @NTVUganda, @DailyMonitor, @DembeFM, and @SparkTV.
This is the hash reality we now face, a country under open military rule, where fear replaces law and force replaces accountability.
But history is clear. Dictators always escalate repression towards their fall, pressing every button in desperation, until they press the one they never expected to be their last.
Uganda will be free!
Dear Maama Miria Matembe,
I stand with you in this dark and painful moment.
The harassment you and other women are facing from a childish coward masquerading as a general does not diminish your courage or dignity, it only exposes his weakness and moral bankruptcy.
The world is watching, and one day he will be held to account for his atrocities against the people of Uganda.
God be with you Maama.
