Echoing the words of @RKirunda. Uganda’s politicians misusing the law for their own gain will, one day, need the law to vindicate them.

Statement about Dr Kizza Besigye: When I visited Dr Kizza Besigye on Friday last week, he was beginning to respond, slowly and painfully, to treatment. We are very grateful to his personal doctor, who has been braving traffic and repeatedly driving to Luzira Maximum Security Prison to check on him, because prison officials have refused to take him to the private clinic where full and proper medical care can be provided.

Despite this slight improvement, KB remains extremely weak. He was unable to walk from his cell to the visitors’ reception. I met him in a small office next to his cell. I had to hold back tears as I watched him slowly make his way back afterwards, clinging to the walls to avoid falling, returning to an oven-hot, dark, bedbug-infested cell.

In eight hours, he had eaten only a small piece of yam and half an avocado.

This is not care. This is punishment.

Dr Kizza Besigye is being deliberately denied the medical care he trusts and requires. He should not be held in squalid, unhealthy conditions that endanger his recovery and his life. He should be under the care of his family and his personal doctor - not abandoned to neglect behind prison walls.

The law is clear. Dr Kizza Besigye is innocent until proven guilty. Why, then, is he being treated with such cruelty and inhumanity? Denied bail four times?

Every day that he remains ill, every day that he is forced to endure pain, weakness, and the humiliation of these appalling prison conditions, is the responsibility of his captors. President Museveni and his son, the army commander, are directly accountable for his suffering.

✔️ We demand his immediate release on bail.
✔️ We demand access to proper medical care now.
✔️ We demand an end to the deliberate cruelty being inflicted on him.

I thank @kizzabesigye1’s legal team and so many people who have and continue to support him morally and materially. You give him strength and hope.

Fellow Ugandans, medical professionals, religious leaders, and the international community — do not look away. Silence will make you complicit.

Dr Kizza Besigye’s life matters. His rights matter. And those responsible for his suffering will be held to account.

"One of the clearest signs of a failing Ugandan state is the collapse of institutions. A citizen is abducted in broad daylight by state agents and vanishes. The family files for habeas corpus in the High Court on their behalf. The state, via the Attorney General and numerous security agencies, submits affidavits denying knowledge of the person's whereabouts. Weeks later, the state drags the same person to court for trial--tortured, ill, and dehumanized. No one resigns, no one is subpoenaed, no one is charged for perjury! And you find someone supporting this government. You find someone calling themselves a judge or chief justice and they demand honor on it. Is that insanity or idiocy and nincompoopism combined?",@KakwenzaRukira

The problem with coming up to fight bad governance in Uganda is that many people will look at it as your exclusive responsibility to do so. They’ll then sit aside and start theoretically analysing and criticising your efforts - what you are doing right or not. While they are affected by the same problems you are fighting, it is not their primary duty to do anything about the problems beyond playing like linesmen and disinterested scholars. Even under harsh political environments, they’ll call you weak and mock you for being beaten by a system you should be joining hands to face. That is how even those who try end up quietly withdrawing.

My attitude is to respect, support and encourage those who try to do what I can’t do but that I find necessary to be done. Let everyone add what they can, not just feeling entitled to being saved by another perfect person.

I wonder if he feels the need to include Luganda translations in his letters to other communities 🤔

[Yoweri K Museveni @KagutaMuseveni]

Countrymen, Countrywomen and especially the Bazzukulu.

Here is a letter I wrote, guiding the Muslim Community on the use of PDM Funds and the status of riba (interest fees) in the PDM.

@nwscug 7 days and counting. I bet you’re still sorry for the inconvenience and request my customer number again, for the 7th time😏

[Sophya Wadda @ssophyaa]

@nwscug it’s been 6 days and counting without water. Every time I call your customer care line it’s like I’m lodging a fresh complaint and everyone claims they are sorry and it’s going to be resolved but nothing is done. What does one have to do to get help???

[Sophya Wadda @ssophyaa]

@nwscug 21381527. I hope this can be resolved today. I’m really furstrated

[Sophya Wadda @ssophyaa]

[Sophya Wadda @ssophyaa]

Well, not yet….

If you want to know where the South African government stands on the #Israel #Palestine situation, listen to this.

Honestly, when I hear some of the other political parties’ takes on THIS situation, including regurgitating fake reports, I am truly grateful they are not in power.

[Censored Men @CensoredMen]

🇮🇱 Israel are literally pathological liars.

[Sophya Wadda @ssophyaa]

@Mosesthesixth Oh wait, I read it wrong. Thought you said absolutely worst time to own a car, my bad 😅 I’m sorry baby brother 😢 hot cup of tea on me

[Aaron Bady @zunguzungu]

The basic (colonial) double standard of the Israel Palestine "conflict" is that any Palestinian violence justifies any Israeli violence, but no Israeli violence ever justifies any Palestinian violence, and once you see it, you'll never stop seeing it.

Everyone who visits the occupied territories comes away changed. This from TNC is must watch.
