One of the tragedies of @Makerere is that this guy, @MurangiraGord, supposedly the PA of @ProfNawangwe does the actual running of the University with a brain half the size of a mango seed!

Gordon got the job through NEPOTISM, of course - thanks to a “connected brother”. In many serious places, his qualifications, let alone character, wouldn't run a car washing bay. Now he runs Uganda’s oldest & most prestigious university - what is supposed to be our shining light!

His favourite part of the job is going around issuing threats to students and non-teaching staff, expelling students for their political views, and ordering lecturers on what they can, and can't research! All the time walking around with a pistol like an excited toddler does with a candy! In some of his tweets here, he self-congratulates for “getting opposition out of Makerere” & promises to do even more for Museveni and his family.

Of course, he is part of that group of men at Makerere whose wives are “Pentecostal Born Against Christians” who organise prayers to thank God - as their evil husbands expel students for hosting online because they’re NUP!

Also, Gordon goes a long way in ensuring his photo is hard to find online, but yeah, this is him.

At any Ugandan university, law students are routinely confronted with this examination question:

"Discuss the view that the silence, inaction, or complicity of lawyers and judges between 1971 and 1979 played a fundamental role in sustaining President Idi Amin's atrocious regime for eight years."

Isn't it deeply unsettling that in a few years, a nearly identical question may well be asked about the current generation of judicial officers, lawyers and other professionals? 🤔

To see that Dr. Kizza Besigye and Hon. Lukwago have made impassioned pleas for bail on medical grounds for several months, and yet remain trapped in jail as their health deteriorates is beyond comprehension!

“We were willing to be kind, generous, and even agreed to share the land,” says this Israeli diplomat to me.

A reminder that at partition, in 1947, Jews owned 7% of the land. This guy says they were willing to “share” the 93% that wasn’t even theirs.
There is a word for that.

No regime in Uganda's history has used ANAL RAPE to the extent that the NRA/M has! Others probably used it here and there; the NRA/M took it to an industrial scale! If there is one thing the regime has done so repeatedly, it is this - raping men and women in the anuses!

Where the regime goes, reports of wide scale anal rape follow! In northern Uganda were the NRA soldiers deployed in the late '80s & '90s, hundreds of old men & women alike say they were anally raped by them at gun point. Many of them infected with HIV in the process - and left to live their ruined lives in utter shame!

Tens of men, mostly NUP supporters, who return from regime safe houses in Kampala and Entebbe say they were anally raped by multiple men in detention. One of had a pistol pushed into their rectum! There's something wicked about about this whole thing, it can't be about degrading victims alone, but we can only know in the future.

Thank God @AloikinOpoloje survived it all, to the disappointment of her would be anal rapists sanctioned by the regime!

[BOBI WINE @HEBobiwine]

Joining the rest of well-meaning Ugandans to demand for the urgent release of Counsel Erias Lukwago, whom we understand was today rushed from jail to Mulago Hospital in very critical condition. We owe ourselves a country where no amount of political disagreement is greater than citizens' right to life and human dignity; a country where no citizen is subjected to sham judicial processes just because they oppose those in power! #FreeEriasLukwago #FreeAllPoliticalPrisoners

Hiroshima and Nagasaki were bombed by a Christian nation. More than 200,000 of your ancestors died. Still, Islam is the problem? 🤡

Former Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has urged the world not to forget Palestinians in Gaza.

In a video with the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, he condemns the dehumanisation of victims and the suffering of children.

36 hours later and no mention of the illegal Israeli settlers we all saw on camera attacking her. No mention of Israel whatsoever. Pathetic stuff here.

Netanyahu’s father was born in Poland. His grandfather was born in Russia. Their family name is originally Mileikowsky.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Not a word from US ambassador to Israel @GovMikeHuckabee about this latest attack on an American by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank, an American female journalist who is now in the hospital.

[Ro Khanna @RoKhanna]

Netanyahu called me a liar when settlers detained me, along with a NYT photographer, in Zanuta this past July.

Now, he is calling a Washington Post photographer a liar.

Netanyahu, you are the liar with the blood of Palestinian children on your hands.

Israel spyware firms hacked into Al Jazeera devices in 2024 using a new ‘adfection’ method previously unknown to the public. The ‘zero click’ hacks can infiltrate your phone or computer simply by scrolling past an ad online.

Al Jazeera’s @mohamedwashere explains.

[jasper nathaniel @infinite_jaz]

The IDF provided cover, with tear gas and machine guns, while the settlers beat @washingtonpost journalist Heidi Levine nearly to death. Then the IDF shot a Palestinian bystander, and aimed their guns and shoved the paramedics who were trying to treat him. All of this documented.

[Agather Atuhaire @AAgather]

Mukose who was arrested for demanding his property from @PoliceUg has been granted cash bail of UGX 1M! When he was abducted in May and later produced and sent to prison, he was granted bail of 5M! The bogus charge was later dismissed but this money wasn’t refunded as the law provides. Now they are asking for 1M. These criminals working with the @PoliceUg and @JudiciaryUG will kill us if we don’t do something about them!! Because what is this!!! Anyway, Mukose needs our help to raise the 1M or he will spend another weekend in jail🙏🏻🙏🏻
I am happy to receive contributions for him on 0776462727.

UNBS is dumping soil in a wetland in order to construct buildings.

While poor people are evicted from wetlands, the powerful continue to build there.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

I can’t think of any other place in the world where people can regularly attack American citizens, American journalists, like this and our US political and media elites say nothing. No scandal, no outrage, no calls for action or accountability.
