My heart goes out to Maama Dr. Miria Matembe who is being hunted down and our sister @SarahBireete who just got raided. May you still gather the courage to speak your truth during this difficult time.
They have built a throne for fear to reign among us and when they raid our homes and strip our dignity bare, they think they will undress our courage! We condemn every act of cruelty being unleashed on Uganda’s daughters, women and mothers.
To the sisters who have been beaten, raped, raided, left alone to fend for families while the breadwinners are abducted, kept in unknown detention and silenced. Be of courage! Injustice doesn’t reign forever! History will remember your wounds!
“…when you look at them (African artistes), their music is not freeing Africa. Your music needs to free Africa.
If I’m all the way in Jamaica and my people fight to free your continent with WORD, SOUND and POWER, and you have the ability now, and all you’re singing is ‘that’?
You need to sing a song to free Africa now? You want the money? Go get it!
But what’s going to be said about you later on, and your posterity?”-Buju Banton
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!
Three days since his abduction near @NUP_Ug's former headquarters in Kamwokya on 17th June, comrade Andrew Natumanya 'Tabz' remains missing. Our teams are doing everything possible to locate him but no positive results so far. We continue to demand his immediate release, and remain committed to ending this impunity once and for all!
Today marks 2 days since @NinyeTabz was abducted by security operatives & his whereabouts remain unknown.
This continued disregard for the rule of law & due process is deeply troubling. Every Ugandan citizen has a right to liberty, dignity, & protection under the law. #FreeTabz
So, I’m told there is a ploy to potentially add me onto the “Terrorism” file of Butambala, or one of those other files in court.
I’ve said previously; when you fight corruption, it fights back.
Similarly, when you fight bad governance, it fights back!
But we shall overcome.

They start with manipulated calls and the next time you check, Otafiire is being charged with treason. Hopefully by the time the people on the other side realize that the enemy is “non-partisan”, it won’t be too late. The last chance to unite is now. #Weknowourheroes
The Leader of the Opposition in Parliament, Joel Ssenyonyi, has called on the Chief of the Defence Forces, General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, to desist from using the name of God to abuse human rights.
