Mr Mugume it is! My apologies for the late response, I was in class.

Before I say anything else, I'd like to address the typo in my first post: "There’s no way you let yourself get respected" should have been "There’s no way you let yourself get DISrespected."

You asked for my point and here it is. Today you reported that Nation Media Group's owners committed to "patriotic, balanced and objective" journalism after meeting the CDF, Muhoozi. The man who sent soldiers to shut the newsrooms also was the one who supplied the official story of how the problem was resolved, and you published his version as ‘the news’. That is the problem with your method of reporting.

Your report did not mention that Reporters Without Borders (RSF) and the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) both heavily condemned the shutdown of NTV and Daily Monitor. Muhoozi himself posted on X, in a since-deleted post: "In Uganda, I DO NOT believe in a free press!"

When soldiers close your colleagues' newsrooms and the man who ordered it is the one announcing changes in their organization, by repeating his words you are not practicing balanced journalism, you are only conforming to the status quo. And, to repeat myself, you are allowing yourself to be used as a puppet.

Let me ask you this:

What does it mean to be a journalist in Uganda if the terms under which you operate are dictated by the same army general who shut down the biggest media house in the country at will?

[Alan Kasujja @kasujja]

The media is not an enemy you can bazooka...

Bullying, threatening, cajoling etc... won't fly either...

It erodes sympathy.

you know how businesses just one day fold? an end of an era?

can’t a country just fold?, end? dissolve (assimilate) into its neighbors? like, rather than be conquered, it just, calls “time” on the whole “country” thing and ends its journey?

last person switches off the lights.

WATCH: Buyaga West County MP Dennis Namara, leading a group of MPs affiliated with the Patriotic League of Uganda (PLU), has formally notified the Clerk of Parliament of their intention to seek leave to introduce a Private Members’ Bill to amend Section 8 of the Administration of Parliament Act. The proposed legislation seeks to change the current process of selecting the Leader of the Opposition (LOP). Under the proposed amendment, the LOP would be chosen through an election involving all opposition Members of Parliament from different political parties, as well as Independent MPs.

Our +254 people, I don’t purport to direct your existent, unbowed revolutionary agenda, but just to say: hold onto those term limits and the rule of law. Hold on with everything! Perhaps for us all.

By Tweeting we express our dissatisfaction with and disapproval of the regime's action. Silence is like acquiescence.
We'll make noise to the powers that be that

3,000+ organizations completed applications in our open call this year.
The capacity has always been there. The question is whether funders are willing to see it.

[Solomon King #FreeBesigye @solomonking]

Our parents told us about the deeply dark days they lived through during the Amin days.

In an unfortunate and cruel twist of fate, we'll now be the ones telling our children of these dark days we're living through.

History, predictably, is repeating itself.

May the dawn come.
