Joined mourners in Te-Got Ayamo Village in Omoro District to say goodbye to our noble senior comrade and friend, Hon. Toolit Simon Akecha. On my behalf and that of @NUP_Ug, I extend condolences to the people of Acholi and all Ugandans upon losing such a valuable leader.

One week since his abduction, despite our best efforts, we're yet to establish comrade Bobi Young's whereabouts and fate. We still demand that the regime immediately release from illegal detention! #FreeAllPoliticalPrisoners #BringBackOurPeople

Munange Asia, otukoze bubi nnyo O.G. 😭. Tujja kusubwa nnyo omutima gwo omulungi n'emboozi zo ezinyuma. May your gentle soul rest in perfect peace. You will be dearly missed.

There's no liberation without freedom.

Congratulations Your Grace Paul Ssemogere upon reaching your 1st anniversary as Archbishop of Kampala Archdiocese. Thank you for constantly denouncing the injustice and oppression that Ugandans endure on a daily basis. May God keep blessing and using you as a vessel of His glory.

Nkyaliddeko Katikiro wa Buganda eyawummula, Owekitiibwa ennyo Dan Muliika. Tumwebaza olw'okwagala n'okulwanilira ennyo abantu ba Buganda ne Uganda ey'awamu. Mukama akutukuumire Ssebo.

When paranoia clouds the mind of a dictatorship in its final days, even a simple victory march looks like a political uprising in its final stages.
234
Also paid a visit to our senior comrade Mzee William Byarugaba at his home. Mzee Byarugaba, who heads the @NUP_Ug Elders Wing, has been ill for several months. Encouraged by his commitment to the cause, even amidst these health challenges. Wishing him a full and quick recovery.

We visited Mulago Hospital to check on Hon. Allan Ssewanyana who has been admitted there in a critical condition since Friday. Unfortunately, the police blocked us from accessing him. The continued persecution of our people is being recorded. Justice will be served some day.
236
Someone please ask her to work on her self esteem and cease persecuting MPs who disagree with her. A person in her position is expected to have a thick skin, otherwise if she can't stand the heat, she better get out of that kitchen.

Notice that it's a full house whenever Parliament debates 'disciplinary' action against Madam Anita Among's critics. But the MPs will be 'busy' elsewhere when Parliament is debating critical issues. Trust Among to raise a mob when she wants some mob justice against her 'enemies'!

Thulani Maseko has been hailed for his courage in fighting Eswatini’s absolute monarchy. He faced long periods of detention and solitary confinement, but never gave up. The movement for freedom across Africa has lost an incredible icon. May his soul rest in power!
239
The murder in cold blood of Eswatini human rights lawyer #ThulaniMaseko is devastating. Thulani fought hard for justice and the rule of law and paid a heavy price. His shooting in front of his family, is a reminder of the dangers HR defenders continue to face on the continent!

Like every unpopular, corrupt regime, they must rent support in order to survive. But they never survive longer! While they did this, they violently disrupted an event organised by our comrades in Jinja. Many are still in hospital nursing injuries! Why we must fight harder!
241
SHAME!! Like father like son! Having lost all legitimacy, they use our taxes to ferry people whom they have made poor, with promises of little money and t-shirts (because most can't afford clothes). After every event, those stranded are abandoned and have to walk back on foot!
242
Just learnt of the violent abduction of comrade #BobiYoung in a drone around Maya. Men in plain clothes waylaid him on the road, dumped him into a drone and drove away. Our lawyers are still establishing his whereabouts. We condemn these wanton actions by the criminal regime.
243
This morning, police in Jinja attacked a peaceful gathering of our comrades and injured several of them. They fired teargas and live bullets. Many are in a critical condition. Others were violently arrested. We shall continue to resist the criminal regime. THIS IS OUR COUNTRY.
244
Wouldn't be surprising, as there are reports that the same person bribed some Committee's members 6 million each and eventually many MPs 2+ million each to vote to remove Hon. Zaake from the Commission. Press on, Hon. Ssenyonyi! twitter.com/JoelSsenyonyi/…
245
Someone needs to remind this lady that her job is to defend human rights BUT NOT to shield violators of human rights!
246
As Chairperson of @UHRC_UGANDA, Mariam Wangadya has gone from blaming the media for "tarnishing the image of security agencies" by reporting about their human rights violations to saying torture victim exaggerate their ordeal. Now she's trivialising abductions!
247
"Don't worry, Jen. I will pretend the report leaked, blame Joel for it, and then reject it altogether. Watch me 😉"
God save our country!

Thank you @brucenahabwe1 for this important drawing which highlights what transpired on the 2020/21 campaign trail. Thank you for always lending your great talent to the struggle for freedom and democracy in Uganda.

It is very unfortunate that he has passed without seeing the justice and good governance which he so much struggled for, all his life. Details regarding burial arrangements are being discussed with the family, and will be communicated in due course. May his soul rest in peace.
