Luganda-English translation: “[When I was first arraigned here, having been released from the torture facility I had been held at], you (referring to the Judge) didn’t allow the media to see and report the horrendous state in which I was. I have been punished for the alleged

In truth, they might appear to be enjoying, but Museveni's co-ethnics, friends & other associates surely got a raw deal. It all ends with him.

An era of politics for politics’ sake. Violent, tortuous, but nothing serious. Nothing substantive. A small commission here; a bribe there – mostly from foreign firms. Nothing more. An SUV. VIP seats. Feel important. That is all. In the The Observer :

Dear Justice Mulyagonja, we commiserate with you. Dr. Kobusingye gave us this book sometime in 2019, and your powerful testimony adds voice to her cry. Mulago isn't just a "monument" as you described, it is the patient itself.

The govt of Uganda, in one single phone call, can have Ms. Agather Atuhaire produced: But perhaps they are complicit in her missing. Dear Rt. Hon. Rebecca Alitwala Kadaga, this being a regional matter, the Ugandan public is anxiously looking at you.

All true. The colonial history, the pursuit of power, and the responsibility for genocide in Gaza. Forget them, forget the colonialists and persistent interference in the things they don’t understand. But you do! So let’s hear you, a Ugandan that deeply understands our country,

David Pulkol. I was a junior employee at The Independent when I learned the story of then Intelligence chief, David Pulkol warning a young, brilliant but overzealous lieutenant of the UPDF, Brig. Noble Mayombo about the dangers of poison in our politics. As they say, the rest

Dear Uganda Peoples' Defence Forces We aren't falling for this. Mzungu actually have the ability – a much easier route – to bring down the old man. In fact, they put NRA in power & have kept it there. As Timothy Kalyegira noted, Gen. Saleh understands these dynamics really well – so his response was

As a native who wrote a book on new colonialism (that new subtle, disguised form), I know colonialism when I see it. This response from the German ambassador is absolutely brilliant: holding UG leadership responsible on its own terms.

My heart is full of pain. My heart is full of rage. God give this little girl a heaven in which she will never again suffer, and burn in hell every criminal that made her suffer here.

How do I convince National Unity Platform that nullifying Nalukoola's victory is a godly opportunity? If Electoral Commission re-organizes the Kawempe North by-election, please use it the way Museveni understands or fears elections. I know, they'll be more lethal. But they'll always be.

How I wish Andrew Mwenda – & other excited surrogates – knew that EU dignitaries aren’t imperialists enforcing values onto a "sovereign country." Specifically for M7 and co., these are bosses. the "Gen-Zs" can huff and puff. The old guards appreciate this dynamic well enough.
