I don't need to prove where I come from. It shows without me saying a word😌, Some things aren't earned in a season they're built over generations😏.That's why different backgrounds, different starting lines let's not compare laps😒
Some decisions don't feel like betrayal they feel like finally exhaling that's why New beginnings aren't about spite. They're about refusing more of what already broke you😊😊
There is no greater hypocrisy than that of Yoweri Museveni.
For 40 years, you have presided over a regime that has become synonymous with torture, enforced disappearances, illegal detention, corruption, and impunity. Yet you stand before the nation with a straight face, condemning the very crimes your government is committing.
This is the same man who publicly boasted that his soldiers had beaten me “very well” after the brutal events in Arua in 2018, during which my driver, Yasin Kawuma, was shot dead. Today, you pretend to denounce torture as if Ugandans have forgotten.
You criticize Andrew Mwenda, yet he remains one of the closest public defenders and enablers of your son—the very man to whom you have entrusted enormous, unchecked power. Your son has repeatedly made public statements celebrating violence against political opponents and has shared images of detained and abused Ugandans with apparent pride instead of shame.
You speak about human rights while conveniently ignoring the many Ugandans whose lives have been shattered by your security agencies. The ordeal of Eddie Mutwe, the abduction and reported abuse of Hon. Muwanga Kivumbi, the continued detention of countless National Unity Platform supporters, and the countless families still searching for loved ones who disappeared after being taken by state operatives and the numerous reports by local and international human rights organizations all tell a story completely different from the one you are trying to sell.
Then there is Sam Mugumya. Abducted in Mbarara in August last year. Months later, a deeply disturbing video emerged showing an emaciated and apparently physically incapacitated Sam, reportedly inside Kasenyi Military Barracks. The images shocked the nation, yet they have been met with silence and denial instead of accountability. If seeing a fellow Ugandan reduced to such a state cannot stir your conscience, then your speeches about humanity are simply hollow.
Popular musician 'King Zale' was picked up from Kamwokya and to date, his where abouts are still unknown. Those that have recently been released from the same Kasenyi barracks have mentioned seeing him there having been gravely tortured.
Ugandans have not forgotten the “drone” abductions, the torture allegations in safe houses, the prolonged detention of political prisoners, or the violence witnessed during and after the 2021 and 2026 elections. Many victims returned with horrifying accounts of abuse. Others have never returned at all.
At your age, one would expect honesty, humility, and reflection. Instead, you continue to insult the intelligence of Ugandans by denying what millions have witnessed over the years.
Had I not escaped into exile, I might well have suffered the same fate as many other Ugandans who have reportedly been tortured, disappeared, or imprisoned simply for exercising rights guaranteed under our Constitution.
Many young people remain behind bars because they supported a different political vision. Their only “crime” was believing that Uganda deserves freedom and democracy.
What makes your statements even more astonishing is that you once condemned exactly these practices. You justified taking up arms by accusing previous governments of torture, arbitrary arrests, election rigging, and abuse of power. You promised that Uganda would never again be governed through fear. Yet today, your government stands accused of repeating, and even institutionalizing the very practices you once claimed to be fighting against.
History has an interesting way of exposing hypocrisy.
