Amidst endless diversions by the regime to deflect citizens' attention from the recent electoral fraud and Uganda's deepening moral and institutional collapse, these words by retiring Judge His Lordship Stephen Egonda-Ntende at his farewell sitting yesterday could not have come at a better time. The Judge urged the judiciary to search deeply within itself for a soul.
He boldly condemned the injustice and cruelty of continuing to jail comrade Waiswa Mufumbiro without bail beyond the constitutional limit, moreover on a minor offence, to the extent of denying him the chance to accompany his children to bury their mother, his wife, the late Edith Katende.
Indeed, as the good Judge suggested, no Ugandan should ever be treated like this again by their own country!
You are hereby all invited to be part of the manifesto launch for our official flag bearer in the 12th parliamentary speaker contest. See you there!

Ugandan political cartoonist Spire won the Kofi Annan Courage in Cartooning Award for his willingness to stand up to, and mock, the forever presidency of Yoweri Museveni.
Today I have accepted that the Leader of Opposition is indeed for the people, hon. Joel Senyonyi was single handedly battling against the numerous NRM MPs with the backing of the speaker, raising multiple objections against the Sovereignty bill, I know it will definitely be passed since the opposition have no numbers but we shall always remember your efforts sir.🙏
Interacted this morning with Mr. Baliza Emmanuel, the father of Baliza William, a young man who was abducted on 10th February and has been missing since. On that day, armed operatives picked him up in a drone, which he says was full of guns, pliers, solido wires, iron bars, etc. He was asked to reveal the whereabouts of his son, or else he faces consequences. He did and was told the young man was posting anti-government content on tiktok. He has since moved everywhere looking for the son without success!

Grateful to the thousands of comrades across the political divide who have attended the burial of Mrs. Edith Mufumbiro, wife to comrade Waiswa Mufumbiro Alex, this afternoon in Luuka District. While the regime rendered comrade Waiswa unable to lay his wife to rest by denying him bail yesterday, it is heartening that the rest of you comrades showed up to stand in solidarity with his and the late Edith's families in this trying moment. I have addressed the mourners virtually and expressed my condolences. May Edith's soul rest in perfect peace.
Ahead of Armenia’s June elections, Prime Minister Pashinyan — backed by the EU — is preventing his main opponent, Samvel Karapetyan, from campaigning. Armenians deserve a free and fair vote.
