They treat us as subhuman.
They kill our people for fun
They rape our sisters and brothers.
They torture us on camera.
They abduct us without remorse.
They tear families apart.
They drive people into exile.
They push others to commit suicide.
They rig elections with impunity.
They mock us and post humiliating images of our comrades in captivity.
Then they ask us “What will you do about it?”
But when we remind them, that they too are mortal, and that pain has a way of returning to its source, they suddenly remember the language of ‘morality’.
Go and preach that fake morality to Yasin Kawuma’s mother.
Preach it to the children of Johnbosco Kibalama., Eddy Mutwe or Waiswa Mufumbiro.
Preach it to the family of John Ddamulira and to the countless other victims of the Museveni family.
Don’t try to weaponize ‘morality’ to shield injustice and brutality.
It won’t work with this generation!
Yes, we believe in morality, but silence in the face of injustice is not morality. It is complicity, it is hypocrisy!
What a poor boy.
It's really sad because he will grow up to become a subject of the same gaslighting every Messi fan has been subjected to for the last two decades.
He's witnessing what we witnessed 20 years ago and will later be told it wasn't real.
They told us it was a script. It was FIFA. It was UEFA.
They told us the best was a guy who was never better than the worst version of Lionel Andrés Messi.
They made us question our sanity. Our vision. Our memory.
The amount of mental torture we have endured at the hands of philistines.
And the same fate awaits this poor boy.
What will be his crime?
Acknowledging the unparalleled magnificence of Messi in a world full of philistines.
Innocent child. Wicked world.
Wishing a Happy Father’s Day to all fathers and father-figures out there who show up and sacrifice unconditionally for the good of their families.
Fatherhood goes beyond just biology and providing. It is about nurturing character. It's about teaching humility, honour and respect for oneself and for others.
It's about raising children with values that will positively shape the society that their own children will inherit tomorrow.
As I grow older, I respect Mzee J. W. Ssentamu more, and yes, now I understand him even more. Happy Father’s Day.
