WHERE IS HE? On 21st Nov. 2020, Ddamulira John, 50 was abducted by armed security operatives from his shop in Kisekka market. Police confirmed they took him. Gen. Museveni read his name amongst those "arrested". Close to 2 years, no one knows where he is, or if he's alive or dead

Finally, dictators tend to blackmail citizens into thinking whoever opposes them hates their country. No! You can love your country to the moon but loathe the regime. When we reject shady deals purportedly made on our behalf, we're not against our country. We are for our country!

The Pan-Africanists and patriots! Matia Kasaija took it a notch higher in the 2015 Airport expansion $200m loan agreement with Exim Bank. Uganda's sovereign immunity waived, all legal redress taken away from Uganda, etc. But they're never ashamed to sing about Pan-Africanism!

How it started versus how it's going. The "our" now is being used expediently, but in reality he still views it and treats it as his personal property. Thank you @SpireJim for putting this into perspective.
555
Apparently, a private company registered in the United Kingdom is the one in charge of 🇺🇬's oil. Key members of the company "are" sons & daughters of @KagutaMuseveni's corrupt relatives & Ministers, some of whom stole donor funds for HIV/AIDs patients. Stinking hypocrisy!
556
Natural resources placed in the hands of a corrupt, inefficient and illegitimate regime can easily turn into a curse instead of a blessing. Check what is happening in MINERAL-RICH Karamoja! Land grabbing, environmental degradation, rights violations, etc. They're dying of hunger!
557
This video, recorded secretly by onlookers, gives a glimpse on how Ugandans are violently abducted daily and bundled into drones. They behave like bandits at home and want to be praised by civilised nations of the world! When they're sanctioned for this behaviour, they cry foul!
558
Some more excerpts on the role played by 'foreigners' in bringing Museveni to power. Something his criminal regime accuses of doing time and again, because he is doing the very things he castigated the Obote regime for doing.
559
They relied heavily on the same international journalists, organisations and countries which they now call neo-colonialists. Hypocrisy! How was it right for Museveni to rely on foreigners to come to power and not for Ugandans to seek assistance to rid ourselves of his rule?
560
Some regime sycophants ask us to stop making "Uganda look bad" over the gross human rights violations. FYI, in the 80s, Museveni & Co went around asking the world not to deal with the Obote regime over human rights violations. A few excerpts from their book Mission to Freedom:
561
The so called Pan-Africanists have ensured that Uganda becomes a leading exporter of maids, security guards & cleaners b'se the economy cannot employ them. Some with degrees! Where they go, they're subjected to all manner of mistreatment. The 'Pan-African' regime simply looks on!
562
Don't tell us about Pan-Africanism after mortgaging our country to foreign interests. Uganda had many state-owned parastatals which you sold off, mostly to foreigners. According to this @DailyMonitor analysis, this contributed greatly to the dysfunction! monitor.co.ug/uganda/news/in…

I've seen regime apologists say we stand to lose jobs when projects are halted. Aside from this being a lie, we need to interrogate this. Who gets jobs? How are they recruited? Are they hired on merit? Does an ordinary citizen of this country, not connected to so and so, qualify?
564
Even the recent program they've touted as the solution to the poverty they've caused, has already bit hit by corruption! Every few years, they start a new program through which to steal some more. OWC, Emyooga, NAADs, Youth Livelihood Project, etc. But they talk of nationalism!
565
Let the regime show us one project they've not mismanaged through corruption! Is it Bujagali? Express highway? Rural Electrification? The railways? Uganda Airlines? The list is long. Reason why every Ugandan has a debt of 1.8m on their head! And they talk of patriotism? Shameless
566
As usual, regime apologists love hiding the regime's ineptitude under concepts they don't practice or understand, such as Pan-Africanism and Patriotism. They are the most unpatriotic bunch. Unless if corruption, nepotism, torture, etc are the standard measure of being patriotic!
567
I wondered whether Mr. Dollo would have the guts to look Ben Kiwanuka in the eye if he were alive today, considering the Dollo-led Judiciary's complicity in the oppression of citizens by the regime which uses the judiciary as another tool of oppression.
568
In presence was current Chief Justice Mr. Owiny Dollo. Like every body else, Mr. Dollo praised Ben Kiwanuka for standing by the values of Truth and Justice for which he had to pay with his life after granting bail to a prisoner against the illegal orders of President Iddi Amin.
569
Took part in a memorial mass held this afternoon at Rubaga Cathedral to mark the 50th anniversary since Chief Justice Benedicto Kiwanuka was murdered in 1972 during Amin's regime. May the justice that the late CJ lived paid the ultimate price for reign in our country one day.

Our two supporters, Kato Hussein Gaaza and Abbas Semakula Abtex are the latest victims of abductions. They were violently picked up on gun-point and taken in drones. Their whereabouts are still unknown. We must not allow this lawlessness to continue. We owe it to our nation!
571
Official statement on the European Parliament Resolution. We are not opposed to the development of the oil sector, but we strongly oppose the mismanagement of public affairs by the Museveni regime!
572
We encourage all comrades to remain alert and take necessary precautions for your personal safety. We are still committed to the struggle for freedom and democracy in our country. We shall overcome!
573
We've instructed some of the best lawyers to lead our comrades' legal defence against the politically-motivated trial.
5. Unveiled comrades who were approved to join the @NUP_Ug's NEC.
6. Condemned the renewed abduction of regime opponents and their supporters.
574
2. Commented on the recently-premiered 'Ghetto President' documentary that chronicles our trials and tribulations at the hands of the regime since around 2017. It will air on the National Geographic channel in a couple of days.
575
In our address to the country today, we:
1. Welcomed the Resolution by the European Parliament discouraging International companies from developing the East African Crude Oil Pipeline until the 🇺🇬 Gov't guarantees human rights for all affected citizens.
