One day we shall have a new President of the Republic of Uganda who is not from NRM.
All NRM Cadres should be exiled.
Like if you agree. Repost if you don’t.
The U.S. needs to review its security relationship with Uganda. Gen. @mkainerugaba's attacks on free speech, including shuttering major media houses this weekend, make him & the UPDF unfit partners. We should only work with those who advance regional security, not diminish it.
NTV has turned the Anita Among saga into a full television series. Every episode comes with a new character—this season, Chris Obore takes the lead role! 😂😂😂
In March 2025, Kawempe Magistrate William Muwonge remanded NUP supporters that had been severely assaulted by security agencies during a campaign rally for the Kawempe North by-election. One of them had been rumored dead before she was detained at Wandegeya police station because she was beaten into unconsciousness, the others could barely sit and one collapsed in court twice. He disregarded the law he’s mandated to uphold. #UgandaJudiciaryExhibition
“Parliament strongly condemns the conduct of the Ugandan elections on 15 January 2026, which were marred by abuses, widespread intimidation, fraud, violence and a nationwide internet blackout. MEPs are deeply concerned about the suspension of civil society groups as well as the sigificant threats and intimidation directed at the opposition, including National Unity Platform (NUP) leader and presidential candidate Robert Kyagulanyi (Bobi Wine) and long-standing opposition figure Dr Kizza Besigye. Parliament calls for their immediate and unconditional release and of all those arbitrarily detained and denounces the killing of NUP supporter Mesach Okello. MEPs urge the Ugandan authorities to stop resorting to military trials against civilians and ask for constitutional safeguards in judicial practices as well as for the disclosure of the whereabouts of all missing persons in the country.
The resolution urges the Ugandan authorities to undertake comprehensive electoral and institutional reforms and refrain from further internet restrictions. They ask for the EU and its member states to review their cooperation with Uganda to ensure respect for EU principles, engage critically with Ugandan authorities, and prioritise support for Ugandan civil society, human rights and LGBTIQ+ defenders, and journalists.
Finally, Parliament calls for independent and impartial investigations into crimes against humanity committed by political and military leaders. The resolution was adopted by 514 votes in favour, 3 against with 56 abstentions.”

@AgoraCFR plans to start the #UgandaJudiciaryExhibition on this Wednesday 11th Feb 2026. Let me see those want to see it happen, and those who don’t. POLL
Personal statement: I wish to express my deep concern and profound frustration regarding the health, safety, and continued detention of my spouse, Dr Kizza Besigye, who has now been held in prison for over one year on trumped-up charges of treason.
Dr Besigye is seriously ill and has been denied timely and adequate medical care. Last night, after a sharp deterioration in his condition, he was rushed to the clinic of his personal doctor, where he was treated and then returned to prison late at night.
The prison authorities did not inform me of his worsening condition. I learned of it through other means and rushed to the clinic myself during the night. When I saw him, Dr Besigye was extremely weak, shaking, running a high temperature, and suffering from severe abdominal pain.
At the clinic, Dr Besigye was guarded by six prison officers and a plainclothes military intelligence officer, a woman who concealed her face with a large white shawl. When he was discharged, Dr Besigye was marched to a basement car park and bundled into a prison pickup truck, squashed between two warders. When I approached the military officer to ask for her identity, she ran away. I managed to take a photograph of her as she fled.
I am deeply concerned that Dr Besigye is now effectively in the hands of the army, rather than under civilian prison authority, and that his medical care is being deliberately restricted. I have been kept in the dark about his condition, warned not to inform the public about his illness, and threatened that if I did so, he would be denied further access to his doctor’s clinic. I regard this as blackmail and as a deliberate attempt to deny him medical care and conceal his condition from public knowledge.
This morning, despite the clear facts, the prison spokesperson publicly stated that Dr Besigye is not ill. This is false.
Following my interview this morning, and statements made by his political party, the People’s Front for Freedom (PFF), the Commissioner of Prisons has now denied Dr Besigye access to a fully equipped medical facility, allowing only his personal doctor to see him at the prison sick bay—an ill-equipped facility where many prisoners have lost their lives.
Dr Besigye has now been denied bail four times and kept on remand for over a year, as the government has fumbled to fabricate evidence to prosecute him. During this time, he has been held in solitary confinement, barred from speaking to other prisoners, denied the right to worship with other prisoners on Sundays, and prevented from engaging in basic physical activity such as playing football. He is confined to a tiny cell with little sunlight, sleeps on a small mattress infested with bedbugs, and is subjected to conditions that are cruel, degrading, and inhumane.
Last week, during the elections, the prison was closed and the internet shut down countrywide. We were unable to visit him, and it is within this period of isolation and deprivation that Dr Besigye has fallen gravely ill.
I therefore demand the immediate release of Dr Kizza Besigye, so that his family and doctors can care for him properly. He is innocent, and these dirty political games must stop. His continued detention, mistreatment, and denial of medical care place his life at grave risk, and those responsible will be held accountable.

Was the 2026 presidential election in Uganda free and fair?
#UgandaDecides2026#UgandaElections
Ugandan soldiers beat up young men and force them to remove the Ugandan flag from a pole. The flag has become a symbol of support for Bobi Wine, and of resistance to President Museveni.
His erratic son Muhoozi Kainerugaba is the country’s military chief
"In case Museveni rigs the election like all signs are showing, the people of Uganda must rise up and demand for their victory," Bobi Wine tells CNN's @ZainAsher.
"Dictators might not go with the first or second or third push but eventually they fall if we don’t give up"
