Just last week, regime apologists were questioning the decision of the US to place Uganda on Level 4 Do Not Travel Advisory! We LOVE OUR COUNTRY, but those who rule over us are the enemies of our country. See this video and you may think you're watching a scene from a war front. But this is Kisekka Market, in the middle of our capital. How do you persuade people to visit a country that behaves in this manner? Heavily armed thugs in plain clothes terrorising people in broad daylight! No wonder ordinary people thought they were armed robbers! And yet, these are the regime operatives who have been given the licence to terrorise, abduct and murder without consequence. How can ordinary citizens distinguish between criminals and security operatives when there's no difference in how they conduct themselves? We must all aspire to build a country where security forces behave with utmost professionalism.
We’ve received disturbing reports alleging that Hon. Muwanga Kivumbi was tortured to near death at Kasenyi SFC military barracks and is now being hidden from the public while receiving treatment before he can be produced.
These reports cannot be dismissed lightly. Many of us have gone through similar ordeals at the hands of this regime and were deliberately hidden from the public until our wounds and the evidence of torture had faded.
While the regime keeps the country distracted with endless diversions, it’s now 10 days since our Deputy President of the Buganda region was abducted in broad daylight and since then, he has never been seen again.
Neither the police nor the army have accounted for his whereabouts.
Where is Hon Muwanga Kivumbi ?
“Uganda’s partners should urgently press Museveni’s government to end these abuses, uphold the rule of law, and ensure accountability for those responsible.”

Museveni’s son said he is very proud of the pain and hurt he is inflicting on former Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago. He must be very proud of himself, seeing this video. But as the saying goes, no one is tall enough to see the future. One day, the tables will turn and all these atrocities will be accounted for, one by one.
But do people who occupy big offices in Uganda today learn anything from such happenings or they wait to learn from their own experience? When you see what is happening to Gen. Birungi, you can't help but think about how many people were abducted, tortured and held incommunicado by CMI under his tenure. And yet today, he finds himself trapped under the same criminality and injustice. Imagine spending nearly one full year in detention without being produced before court!!! Justifiably, his lawyers will soon file numerous applications relating to the abuse of his rights - the same rights he denied many others at the height of his power. Good people, FIGHT FOR THE RULE OF LAW. It is in our collective interest.
RM @RepGregoryMeeks: Moves by Ugandan officials to silence the press and human rights advocates directly undermine Ugandan democracy. The government must immediately end arbitrary detentions and attacks on media outlets.

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.
What if NTV Kenya introduced a one-hour Luganda news bulletin specifically for viewers in Uganda while NTV Uganda remains off air? Given NTV Uganda's strong following, this could help Nation Media Group continue serving its Ugandan audience with reliable news.
A country where an innocent sickly prominent lawyer is kidnapped, and someone tweets that he is torturing him, and the tweet is liked by thousands of cheering people!
