Stop entertaining unnecessary arguments and drama when it comes your way. A person cannot argue unless you’re arguing back. So, STOP and let them fight with themselves.
I sincerely thank you all for the overwhelming gesture of love in contributing towards my court penalties. I know you did this because you relate with my principles, work, and commitments. You never asked if I had the money or not, you simply showed up in solidarity. Even when you learnt that the initial target had been reached, you just continued sending money, and you are still sending!
I didn’t have to explain much that, although I’m aggrieved too, this case is not really about me. Some of you intervened in defence of freedoms and protection of this space for accountability. Some did it in defiance against the powerful that pee on those below.
The contributions included amounts as small as 4000/-, and from across the spectrum. Both opposition and NRM people showed up. Even ministers reached out with concern. Different tribes. Different religions and nationalities. From Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya, Ghana, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Nigeria, France, Switzerland, Netherlands, USA, Finland, UK, Sweden, Canada, Germany, Kazakstan, UAE, Brazil, … It has surely been a statement beyond me. Some just stood up for principles, some for religious reasons, some in memory of injustices they’ve themselves faced in the past and still.
This country has very many good people, and we could build on those to do much more good. The evil ones are few and have no REAL friends to count on. Neither are they really happy. They live in fear for the harm they’ve caused to others. Thanks to @kiizaeron and @AAgather for spearheading the campaign even before I asked, though I surely desired it to be a collective experience and statement. Thanks Hon. @HEBobiwine for passionately amplifying the call. Thanks everyone. I can’t name you all, but I saw you, and felt you. I must add that ever since this case started, I have never spent a single penny of mine. Well wishers, fans, and friends have carried me on their shoulders all through - and very happily. It is not me they carry though, it is the cause. Thank you.
It just keeps getting worse with these people. The lack of empathy is unbelievable. This man said “if it was only Davion in the car she wouldn’t be in jail” 😡😡 The anger I feel just hearing those words come out of his disgusting mouth.
Davion’s life mattered. Dominic’s life mattered. Both families lost their loved ones. Shame on the Shirilla family. I hope she never gets out. #thecrash
Is it so hard to understand that you can be happy for and proud of someone for a choice they made for themselves even if it’s not what you want for yourself?? Aren’t doctors supposed to be smart people?
So let me get this straight, men are annoyed that an adult woman that doesn’t want children tied HER tubes…tubes which are in HER one body??? Make it make sense
If the intention of the incarceration was to inflict pain, why expect an act of kindness at a time when the detainee is in intense pain? That is an opportune moment to intensify the pain. A sadist doesn’t reason the way you expect a normal person to do. Your pain is the sadist’s joy. The more of it, the more the joy. If you want a sadist to feel pain, be or act happy.
So, cut down your expectations, and desist from using phrases such as: “you are also human beings”. You are wrong on your assumptions.
A man was thrown behind bars under dodgy & questionable circumstances - he left behind a sick wife.
For a whole year, he languished behind bars, waiting for the powers that be to tell him his crime and either convict him or acquit him - that didn't happen.
For a whole year, he could not cater to his sick wife or be with his family.
Then his wife died.
Now there must be begging & pleading for the man to be allowed to go say goodbye to his departed wife.
One day, when the sun sets on this regime, we shall have a conversation about how inhumane these people are. One can only hope that the suffering, pain and sadness they've caused gets swept away by the rains of a new beginning.
This is painstakingly sad.
This is incredibly dehumanizing. Helping someone should never come at the cost of their dignity,privacy or agency because what do you mean he doesn't have to like it at all. You people are so weird and entitled.
I find the practice of sharing private intimate conversations (chats) on social media after falling out imprudent and immature. Anyone entering into a new relationship with such a person would have to be very cautious. It would be foolish for you to assume that you’ll be treated differently if it doesn’t work out.
My excuses, I still don’t get how the US system allows a person to be an undocumented immigrant AND be employed AND pay taxes on their salary.
It is virtually impossible in any country where I’ve ever been, and I’ve been to quite diverse countries.
What’s even the logic of that?
@TonyNatif Yes, we all know you voted M7. We saw it coming and had been building up to it for most of 2025.
It was only the pretence at being an impartial "Public Square" that we questioned.
It was all just an ordinary gig.
Fellow Ugandans, last night when my mother was under attack by military goons, I found myself needing to sound an alarm to whoever could listen.
In the heat of that emotionally charged moment, I ended up using very indecent language and addressing you in a disrespectful way, which i deeply regret.
I realize that it was wrong and I apologize for that and I hope you all will understand that it was short lived anger and frustration.
I also want to appreciate all of you that responded to my distress call last night when my mother was under attack at home.
A group of masked, armed soldiers has just broken into our house and beat up my family members. They have currently isolated my wife, Barbie Kyagulanyi, alone. Their intentions are unclear!
Personal statement: I wish to express my deep concern and profound frustration regarding the health, safety, and continued detention of my spouse, Dr Kizza Besigye, who has now been held in prison for over one year on trumped-up charges of treason.
Dr Besigye is seriously ill and has been denied timely and adequate medical care. Last night, after a sharp deterioration in his condition, he was rushed to the clinic of his personal doctor, where he was treated and then returned to prison late at night.
The prison authorities did not inform me of his worsening condition. I learned of it through other means and rushed to the clinic myself during the night. When I saw him, Dr Besigye was extremely weak, shaking, running a high temperature, and suffering from severe abdominal pain.
At the clinic, Dr Besigye was guarded by six prison officers and a plainclothes military intelligence officer, a woman who concealed her face with a large white shawl. When he was discharged, Dr Besigye was marched to a basement car park and bundled into a prison pickup truck, squashed between two warders. When I approached the military officer to ask for her identity, she ran away. I managed to take a photograph of her as she fled.
I am deeply concerned that Dr Besigye is now effectively in the hands of the army, rather than under civilian prison authority, and that his medical care is being deliberately restricted. I have been kept in the dark about his condition, warned not to inform the public about his illness, and threatened that if I did so, he would be denied further access to his doctor’s clinic. I regard this as blackmail and as a deliberate attempt to deny him medical care and conceal his condition from public knowledge.
This morning, despite the clear facts, the prison spokesperson publicly stated that Dr Besigye is not ill. This is false.
Following my interview this morning, and statements made by his political party, the People’s Front for Freedom (PFF), the Commissioner of Prisons has now denied Dr Besigye access to a fully equipped medical facility, allowing only his personal doctor to see him at the prison sick bay—an ill-equipped facility where many prisoners have lost their lives.
Dr Besigye has now been denied bail four times and kept on remand for over a year, as the government has fumbled to fabricate evidence to prosecute him. During this time, he has been held in solitary confinement, barred from speaking to other prisoners, denied the right to worship with other prisoners on Sundays, and prevented from engaging in basic physical activity such as playing football. He is confined to a tiny cell with little sunlight, sleeps on a small mattress infested with bedbugs, and is subjected to conditions that are cruel, degrading, and inhumane.
Last week, during the elections, the prison was closed and the internet shut down countrywide. We were unable to visit him, and it is within this period of isolation and deprivation that Dr Besigye has fallen gravely ill.
I therefore demand the immediate release of Dr Kizza Besigye, so that his family and doctors can care for him properly. He is innocent, and these dirty political games must stop. His continued detention, mistreatment, and denial of medical care place his life at grave risk, and those responsible will be held accountable.

With a clean landslide win of 71%, it is celebration allover the country. Ugandans can be seen jubilating on the streets and in entertainment places. In 2021, it was 58%, but the love for Mr Museveni has multiplied in the last five years due to significant changes in social services and people’s lives.
All those in Uganda, who are able to bypass the criminal regime's internet blockade - big up yourselves! Pass around the message. Let everyone know how to do it. They cut off the internet in order to hide rigging and atrocities. Record everything and share with the world.
