Eventually, we got onto another ferry which set off. Mid-way the journey on the lake, its operators got instructions to reverse and return to Bukakata landing site where we came from. Apparently, the ferries will not move to Kalangala for as long as I’m on board.
All other travelers have been stuck since morning, including those on board and the many others who have been waiting outside. I’ve now decided to disembark to stop the impasse, so that the ferries can transport the stranded travelers.
Very sad state of affairs!
Given the determination they have for me not to make it to Kalangala, even other means like a speed boat would be risky since the military might intercept us in the middle of the lake to cause us harm, or worse!
Oh Uganda, may God uphold thee!
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out, because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out, because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out, because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me…and there was no one left to speak for me - Martin Niemoller.
We should all be reminded that injustice only succeeds when people wait until it’s their turn to face it.
No one is safe until we’re all safe!
You can abduct and torture @NinyeTabz but you cannot break his resolve.
This does not show the strength of the regime, it only exposes how weak and decadent it is.
We stand with you my brother.
Just like the Amin regime, one day all this will be history.

We had a productive conversation with members of the @NUP_Ug's Seattle Chapter in Washington State about the state and fate of our motherland, Uganda. Honored by the warm welcome we received, and the comrades’ resilient commitment to the struggle for freedom back home. We shall overcome!
This only exposes your mental and physical inadequacies. You’re nothing but a sadistic coward who can’t face anyone ‘man to man’, neither in a logical public debate nor in a fare physical fight.
Wewe ni mlevi wa taifa tu!
You’re a wannabe badman, masquerading as a fierce military General, but deep inside you’re weak, insecure, and desperate for attention.
You never earned the ranks you wear, no wonder you abuse and disgrace them every single day.
Your actions are such an embarrassment to the Uganda People’s Defense Forces (UPDF). History will remember you and your father with shame.
One day even your own children will struggle to defend your name.
I have received the sad news of the death of Ms. Sarah Nantumbwe (1st image), a wife to comrade John Ddamulira (2nd image) who was abducted from his spare parts shop in Kisekka Market in November 2020 and has never been seen again. She has died carrying the pain of not knowing what became of her husband, a pain that many families of our disappeared know far too well.
Ms. Nantumbwe's death has brought back memories of Ms. Monica Nabukenya (4th image), who also passed away just a few months ago in November 2025 after enduring a similar ordeal following the abduction of her husband, comrade Kibalama Johnbosco (3rd image), on Martyrs Day in June 2019. It's a pity that both ladies spent years hoping and searching for answers that never came!
May Ms. Nantumbwe rest in eternal peace.
This boda guy narrates a story of the two kids he was given in the early morning to take to school. He says kids were dozing. Adds he paid a certain man to seat on a Boda and hold for him the kids untill school.
Warns parents who send kids to school at that very early morning.
These are the kid of boda-boda riders we need.
But parents and again school, why do u need a bellow 5yr kid at school at 6? Do wt exactly?
"We praise heroes everyday but there are those that we forget to praise: the women of this world.”- Lucky Dube. On this heroes day, my mind goes to these and and all women who are going through untold pain, fighting for a better Uganda. You’re my heroines. #GodBlessTheWoman
