A liberation movement like ours must ensure that women take part in every decision & process of the liberation struggle. That is how you guarantee true women empowerment when the struggle is won. We are very deliberate about this! #PeoplePower_OurPower

“You get overwhelmed” Sankara said. “Some of those people they kidnap and torture would beg, ‘Please, please help me get some treatment. They would even refuse them treatment and in a day or two they die. It hurts.”

We had a workshop with some of our leaders in Kakiri town. About 8pm, police and the military surrounded the venue and stormed the meeting. Switched off the light! They declared the meeting illegal! Instead of breaking our resolve, thi impunity only strengthens us to soldier on.

Eventually, after plucking us out of our vehicles and driving us on breakneck speed, they abandoned us around Karuma bridge! The dictator is in panic and we are not giving up. Tomorrow morning, we head to the Electoral Commission to demand for answers. This is our country!

Often times, revolutionary music is to a non-violent struggle what guns are to a violent one. Here are some shots captured during our Diaspora Music Show over the weekend. #WeAreRemovingADictator

According to sources within their ranks, the panicky regime plans to stage-manage arrests of some 'operatives' putting on red berets in crime so they declare #PeoplePower a terrorist organisation and ban it! Explains such headlines. We are a non-violent movement! We are watching

9. I hope this explains why we believe that Jamil Mukulu and his co-accused persons are being politically persecuted and they deserve "a fair, speedy and public hearing before an independent and impartial court established by law" as envisaged by Article 28 of the Constitution!

A great pleasure meeting with H.E. President @HHichilema whose recent victory and the progress made so far in Zambia provides great encouragement and inspiration. President Obasanjo continues to push for democracy on the continent. A great pleasure drinking from his cup of wisdom

Hopefully, Mr. Ham's claim was just a slip of the tongue — but that is also doubtful, since the official cost of Nakivubo's re-development is stated to be UGX 180 billion which is certainly nowhere near 737 trillion! Eh, mai lodi, I wanda 🙆🤦🏻♂️

As I have repeatedly said, ours is a struggle for fairness and justice. It's a struggle for equal opportunities for all Ugandans regardless of gender, religion or ethnic origin. It's a struggle for inclusive economic development. A struggle against cronyism and kleptocratic rule.

Listening to "Mukama nyongela amaanyi" (God add upon me strength) by this legendary brother, Mowzey Radio. Even in your absence from the body, you continue to inspire us. Powerful lyrics! The power of music! Continue resting in power bro. youtu.be/aE0j0g8F0eE

8. We OPPOSE terrorist actions in Uganda & anywhere in the world. The NUP government would spare no effort to cooperate with the world in fighting terrorism. But we believe terrorism must not be used as a pretext to violate human rights and purse illegitimate political objectives

Last night, I communicated to President Hakainde's Inauguration Committee and expressed deep regrets for not attending this momentous event, after all efforts to travel to Zambia were frustrated. I'll issue a detailed statement on this. I remain very grateful for the invitation.

This is the third time the police is blocking us today. The whole world is watching all this injustice and someday, all those that are responsible for these criminal acts will be held accountable individually. #WeAreRemovingADictator
