The ongoing case involving our leader Dr. Kizza Besigye has made one thing abundantly clear; this is not a matter of genuine prosecution, but a calculated campaign of political persecution by the Museveni regime.
Celebrations about the transfer of civilians from military courts-martial to civil courts were entirely premature. Rather than signaling a return to the rule of law, the civilian courts have simply inherited the role of state theater.
Pretended justice has clearly been revealed today when Justice Baguma abruptly stormed out of the courtroom while being addressed by the accused.
Such actions expose the judiciary's lack of independence and willingness to participate in a staged process. Neutral arbiters of law, have been turned into a stage for political theater designed to suppress dissent.
Justice can never be buried in the dark. Amidst all this persecution, our leaders cheerfully said "NEVER SURRENDER"

“You cannot say that you have Shs158 billion to purchase cars for MPs and then claim that you do not have Shs 28 billion to pay medical interns’ allowances, with the excuse that it would crush the economy. By the way, doctors are rarely in the hospitals. It is the medical interns who are everywhere doing the donkey work,” Archbishop Stephen Kaziimba Mugalu

An Ebola ‘Conspiracy’?: Why is Uganda Blacklisted While DR Congo Where It Originated Gets a Pass?
It’s very difficult to get agreement on anything in politically polarised Uganda, but there is a rare growing consensus in the country that a "conspiracy" at play against it regarding the latest Ebola outbreak.
As is often the case, the virus originated in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) where 452 confirmed cases, 1,000 suspected cases, and 82 deaths have been recorded - before spilling over into Uganda.
Uganda has registered 15 cases and just ONE (1) death, a 59-year-old Congolese man who had come into the country from the DRC.
This is where it gets strange. Despite this disparity, western governments have issued over a dozen strict travel advisories specifically targeting Uganda, far eclipsing those levied against the DRC, and even suspension of visas!!!. This has prompted Ugandan politicians and social media users to rail against them and sections of international media like Al Jazeera for "bundling Uganda with Congo" and treating the two as a single entity.
The situation in Kenya might throw some light on the Uganda case. Protests erupted in Nanyuki, in the mountainous central region of the country, over a proposed US Ebola quarantine facility at Laikipia Air Base. This backdrop lends some credence to a disclosure from an authoritative Nairobi-based journalist who said: "We hear the US initially approached Uganda, which possesses the continent’s finest technical expertise on Ebola. Kampala refused, stating, 'We are too busy managing the spillover from Congo'."
If Kampala did indeed rebuff Washington, it is confounding given the Ugandan government’s long history of subservience to US interests. Yet, it might explain why conspiracy theories are thriving. Kampala likely suspects it is being internationally penalised for refusing to fall in line and serve as an Ebola "leper colony".
What is clear is how anomalous it is for a nation with minor spillover cases to be treated as the primary medical pariah.
Join us end the stigma of people living with vitiligo, it's just a skin condition, it's not contagious, it's not HIV/AIDS, it's not Leprosy neither were we burnt by twins
