Sending my condolences to the family, friends and constituents of Gen. Moses Ali upon his death. May Allah comfort you all and grant him jannatul firdaus. Inna Lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un!
Please keep our brother and @NUP_Ug Deputy President Hon. Muwanga Kivumbi in your prayers. His whereabouts remain unknown since his abduction 9 days ago!
Muhoozi Kainerugaba posted on X: 'I have the power in Uganda to shut down ANY media house I want to. This power was given to me by my great father' . Then he sent soldiers to shut down NTV, Spark TV, and Daily Monitor, Uganda's largest independent media group . The military is now surrounding their offices, and Muhoozi has ordered the arrest of the Managing Director 'on sight' .
This is not governance, this is a dictator-in-waiting publicly bragging about destroying press freedom. The international community must sanction this regime before it's too late
President @HEBobiWine joined @TheWorld’s @MarcoWerman to explain why he continues to stand firm in the face of repression and why international attention to Uganda’s democratic struggle matters.
“I stand firm, and I still stand firm. But you can only remain firm when you know fellow democrats are standing with you. I wanted to make our case not only to the U.S., but to the entire world, so that if I return home and lose my life, I will not die in vain—the world will at least know what happened.”
Watch the interview.
For four months, Dr. Lina Zedriga Waru has been acting President of our Party. During this period, she has steered the party well and kept the revolution alive. We're all very grateful for her dedication and service.
As her tenure comes to an end, I am pleased to announce that Hon. John Baptist Nambeshe, Deputy President Eastern Region, will be taking over as acting President of the National Unity Platform. I wish him well and request all leaders and comrades to accord him the necessary support.

I joined @TheWorld's @MarcoWerman to discuss why leaders who cling to power at the expense of their people remain one of the world's greatest threats, and why Uganda’s struggle for freedom deserves urgent global attention.
Kindly listen to the interview here:
Uganda is heading in the direction of North Korea, GENUINELY, and I'm not sure we have fully internalized that.
In all seriousness, we need to keep fighting Museveni and Muhoozi with every ounce of energy we have.
These types of regimes are only taken out by mass expression of dissatisfaction by their own people, one way or another. Sometimes it takes a long time, but eventually it happens. We cannot sit and wait for it to come from 'The Inside.' Those guys are eating stolen money very very comfortably.
The insiders only jump when they see us standing outside. They only come out to save themselves, the same way they went in to get benefits and save themselves from poverty, the easy way. Naturally, regime apologists are always the cowards of the bunch and they never have anything they truly believe in but money.
This expression doesn't happen in countries where people don't see each other as one people. For example, the petty tribal wars the regime is always trying to peddle, inter-party wars, and so on.
When people have someone else to hate apart from their oppressors, they never fight their oppressors. 🧏🏾♂️🧏🏾♂️🧏🏾♂️🧏🏾♂️
Propaganda works, even on the strongest minds, and these guys have the money to push it on us in AMAZINGLY LARGE AMOUNTS on a daily basis.
(Just check my comments for an example of this.)
You know what the solution is?
1.) If you live in Uganda, get off your phone and take a walk outside. You will see signs of it getting worse BY THE DAY. That will be your ground truth, and nobody will be able to tell you otherwise.
2.) If you live in the Diaspora, also get off your phone and look around. You will see things wayyyy beyond what we have in Uganda, and if you are anything like me, you will also feel a deep sense of sadness and longing for it in your own home. Like a child with an abusive parent who is visiting a friend who has a healthy family at home. It is VERY SAD.
We need to show each other what is true and work together toward the future. Don't blame your friend or neighbor who is a heavy regime person. They have been lied to and cannot yet see it. Blame those in charge who are still pushing lies and propaganda. They know exactly what they are doing, and they do it anyway.
We can do this guys, genuinely these people are not untouchable. We can't give up our country like that.
This parent painfully points out the regime's skewed priorities, even in situations of emergencies. Sad.
Eternal rest grant unto the souls of the deceased little angels🙏🏽
