our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter in lyf.
Mungu ni mwema kila wakati.
Aint responsible for any onez idiocy.😀😨😂😃😄😯
Dr. Jimmy Spire Ssentongo @SpireJim has spent years using his voice and talents to hold power accountable as his contribution towards a better society for us all.
Instead of honoring his work, the regime is actively working to silence him through, among other oppressive tactics. A court order was recently issued against him, by which he is required to pay a total of UGX 30,000,000/= within 14 days or spend three months in prison. Why? Because he made a post on his social media platform calling out an injustice that, in the court's wisdom, amounts to contempt.
I am calling on all Ugandans of good conscience, in Uganda and abroad, to stand with Dr. Spire in whatever way we can, and help him resolve this challenge.
Twenty days after his televised abduction and subsequent disappearance, Hon. Muwanga Kivumbi resurfaced today at the Chief Magistrate’s Court in Butambala. He has revealed that throughout his illegal detention, he endured daily torture and sustained multiple injuries. The Court, as has become the norm, just remanded him to an undisclosed prison until 11th August.
Until today when its JATT security operatives drove Hon. Kivumbi to Court, the regime had denied knowledge of his whereabouts and even filed affidavits in court to the same effect!
We continue to stand in solidarity with him and all other comrades who remain unlawfully detained or missing. We remain hopeful that justice will prevail, and that Uganda will one day become a country where every citizen enjoys their basic rights and the protection of the law.
This coming week, I will be engaging the students and faculty of Harvard and Howard Universities. We shall have conversations about the struggle for democracy in Uganda, and the future of the African continent generally.
On Monday, 27th April, I will be at the Harvard University Center for African Studies in Cambridge, MA. On Tuesday, 28th April, I will be hosted by the African Studies Graduate Students Association (ASGSA) at Howard University University.
These engagements are part of our broader effort to strengthen solidarity and sharpen the ideas that will define Uganda and Africa’s democratic path.
Honored to have been recognised as a Leader in Courage and Innovation (2026) by the @Renew_Democracy in New York City last night. I dedicate this award to the Ugandan men and women who have been killed, unfairly detained, or disappeared in our collective pursuit for a better Uganda. Their sacrifices shall certainly pray off.
I applaud my fellow Honorees: @AmbJohnBolton (US National Security Advisor 2018-19 and US Ambassador to the UN 2005-06); Ms. @cafreeland (Economic Advisor to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Deputy Prime Minister of Canada 2020-24); and @SenMarkKelly (US Senator for Arizona and NASA Astronaut 1996-2011) for their contribution to democratic causes.
Thank you, RDI! Uganda shall be free!
Sometimes you have to pause and celebrate those who give their all in the pursuit of democracy. Tonight is one such night.
As a @Renew_Democracy Fellow, I am filled with joy to witness the courage and sacrifice of many in defending freedoms; in believing even and especially when times are tough. Never tire of believing, of trying, of pushing for freedoms and for a better future.
Glad to see a friend, @HEBobiwine, being recognized for his sacrifices, courage, and belief in a better future for our generations and our country.
A dedication to all the comrades that have paid, and continue to pay a high price for the liberation of our motherland Uganda, your pain will never be in vain.
One day everything will be alright.
They did all sorts of things to bar us from getting to our only venue that we had been granted. The usual tear gas shots, arrests and impounding of Boda Bodas belonging to our supporters but still, the conviction of our masses was not fully suppressed. We were able to gather at the Aga Khan grounds where we made our last minute call to our people as we wind up our campaign trail. We called on them to go to their respective polling stations on Thursday and cast their votes in favor of the umbrella symbol. The regime may again continue to deploy their intimidation tactics to the last day, but we must remain peaceful and resilient. The vote is our only weapon that we must cast and jealously defend.

Hey @elonmusk, as you cheer the fall of a dictator in Venezuela, here in Uganda your @Starlink has disabled citizens' access to its internet just days to the January 15th election in which we seek to peacefully end Museveni’s 40-year-old dictatorship!
Like other dictators, Museveni has suffocated free expression, engaged in mass killings, brutally persecuted the opposition, and suppressed citizens' rights - among other atrocities. Please reactivate Starlink internet access in Uganda so that citizens can be able to communicate and stand a fair chance at shaping their destiny. Democracy dies in darkness!
The rhythm, the movement, the energy, the patriotism, and above all the revolutionary vibe ready for a New Uganda, Uganda the time is now!
