Today we remember over 100 innocent citizens murdered last year on the streets of Kampala and other areas in Uganda, on the orders of Gen. Museveni. The burden on us is to struggle on, and put a complete end to extrajudicial killings.

I commend the people of Zambia for coming out in large numbers to vote. Our hope is that democracy will prevail & the WILL OF THE PEOPLE will be respected! The people of Zambia deserve a free, fair and transparent election. #ZambiaDecides2021

This is what you get when a government prioritises politics over policy. They have been stocking teargas, rubber bullets, water cannons and other repressive tools, while hospitals and schools were left to their own devices. Will they learn anything from this crisis? I bet not.
"Witnesses heard Apedel pleading for mercy with someone he called “officer” shortly before he disappeared near his home... Three days later, a friend received an anonymous call saying Apedel’s body was at the morgue."

The military court has today yet again remanded 18 of our 35 comrades at Kitalya. They have been on remand for close to 5 months without trial. Glad to receive the 15 who have received partial freedom with stringent conditions. We shan't rest until we're all free in our country
In Nov 2016, Lt. Gen. Peter Elwelu commanded the killing of over 150 citizens in Kasese, including many women and children. He now says they deserved it as he swears in with a Bible! Meanwhile, hundreds of innocent Ugandans are languishing in jail for opposing Gen. Museveni!
Today, over 20 NUP supporters and comrades were abducted from Mbale town by heavily armed security operatives and taken to unknown places. Despite the outcry from Ugandans and the international community, the abductions, torture and murder of our people have only escalated!
Our comrades appeared at the General Court Martial today for a bail hearing. They have yet again been sent back to Kitalya Prison. The quest for justice and freedom might be long and sometimes frustrating, but in the end, every pain and effort will be worth it.

"They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope at noontime as in the night. But He saves the needy from the sword, From the mouth of the mighty, and from their hand. So the poor have hope, and injustice shuts her mouth." A blessed Sunday friends.
As Gen. Museveni prepares to illegally swear himself in tomorrow, abductions of Ugandans have intensified. Yesterday Gordon Ssebagala, our comrade was abducted by heavily armed operatives in plain clothes! His whereabouts are unknown. There must be accountability for these crimes
Today while our leaders addressed a press conference at our offices, these military 'mambas' came and parked at the gate, disruptng the peaceful event. Magere, Kamwokya and Busabala are full of military operatives, doing patrols while arresting many of our supporters.
This week @Akon was in #Uganda posing for pictures with a brutal tyrant and claiming that everything in the country was "peaceful." Nothing could be further from the truth. Here, @iGaddo and I write in @OkayAfrica on this striking and shameful dissonance.

This day, we join the world in commemorating mama Winnie Madikizela-Mandela. For her beliefs, she was tortured, subjected to house arrest, kept under surveillance, held in solitary confinement and banished. Yet in all this, she did not give up or turn back.
“You get overwhelmed” Sankara said. “Some of those people they kidnap and torture would beg, ‘Please, please help me get some treatment. They would even refuse them treatment and in a day or two they die. It hurts.”
