Glad to host comrade Nkurunziza Fred, a mobilizer for the People Power movement in Kyankwazi District who was a few days ago released from Kitalya Prison where he has spent more than one year in illegal detention.

Thank you @hrw for this very important report on the gross human rights abuses in Uganda. There must be accountability for these crimes against humanity.

I join the people of Uganda in mourning the Speaker of Parliament, Rt. Hon. Jacob L'Okori Oulanyah.
On behalf of the @NUP_Ug and on my own behalf, I extend deep condolences to his family, friends, the people of Acholi Sub-region and all Ugandans. May his soul rest in peace.
829
Even if a unity of faith may not be possible, a unity of love is. When we unite, amazing things happen.
Happy weekend friends.

We have been taught that sharing knowledge is the most fundamental act of friendship. Get well soon my brother Jakkana sulaiman Nadduli.

With Rt. Hon. @MathiasMpuuga & other leaders, we interacted with Ass. Sec. for Democracy & Human Rights in the U. S. @StateDept Ms. Lisa Peterson & Amb. Natalie Brown on human rights in Uganda. We continue to urge the world to make the rule of law a pre-condition for partnership.
832
Reports of the continuing ill health of Rt. Hon. @JacobOulanyah have been of great concern. Over a week ago, I spoke to some family members and extended wishes for a quick recovery. All of us, despite our different political affiliations should unite and pray for his recovery.

On 10th March, military operatives raided offices of the Alternative DIGITALK TV, an Online TV and abducted nine of its staff. To date, no body has been allowed to access them! We demand for their immediate and unconditional release. This lawlessness must be resisted!
834
Happy to catch up with and spend some time with Hon. @ZaakeFrancis and other comrades. It's good but unsurprising that Hon. Zaake is still on course and committed to the struggle against misrule and abuse of office by those who wield power. #WeAreRemovingaDictator

Yesterday, we joined comrades and the media fraternity to mourn the late Sadurni Carrasco Sumaya 'Sumy' who passed away early this week. I once again send my sympathies to her family, and the International Press Association of Uganda. May God grant our friend's soul eternal rest.
836
This will be an insightful program that I encourage Ugandans and others to RSVP for. I was a previous speaker on @ResistBureau and their programs are always impactful. We have one of our own, @GodberTumushabe, as a featured speaker! Register for free here: theresistancebureau.com
837
I condole with Sumy's family, friends, colleagues and the entire media fraternity upon her death. May her soul rest in eternal peace.
838
Her work prompted certain regime spokespersons to refer to her as a CIA agent. At one point, she was forced to flee from one of our press conferences in Kamwokya citing threats she was facing due to her work in Uganda.
839
Sumy was particularly active in the run up to and during the 2021 presidential campaigns during which she extensively covered and reported on much of our mostly-violent experiences. [She took the last photo on this post]

Still trying to come to terms with news of the tragic death of international journalist Sumaya Carrasco Sadurni 'Sumy' who is said to have suffered a fatal accident together with her driver in Kiryandongo.
841
To date, there has been no serious effort from the regime or the University authorities to offer him the required medical attention. This is the kind of lawlessness all of us must reject and resist.

Also checked on our brother Ssebuganda Richard, a 23 year old 3rd year student at Makerere University, pursuing a Bachelor's in Biomedical Sciences. On 9th Feb, he returned to his room in Lumumba Hall and found a teargas canister on his bed. It exploded and smashed his right hand
843
Paid a visit to our brother Jakana Sulayiman Nadduli and his son in hospital. They were involved in a very bad accident recently. We thank God that he spared their lives. We shall be praying that they both get a very quick and full recovery. Each other is all we have!

As a proud product of a strong woman, I can only feel complete by raising strong and noble women.
A happy International Women's day to all the women out there who refuse to be held back by societal stereotypical limitations.

This man will go down as one of the biggest liars of all time. To think that out of 46 million Ugandans, he's the only one with a mission for Uganda is pathetic! 36 years, with all the corruption, brutality, rigging elections and state dysfunction he's not ashamed to utter such!
846
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.

Museveni built his hate campaign against Amin and Obote accusing them of tribalism, sectarianism and nepotism. Since then, he accuses all his challengers of the same vices. Yet, he practices them OPENLY. When we call him out, a small clique of beneficiaries get uncomfortable. 1/2

What would one expect from someone recommended by the despot's daughter to head the regime's propaganda machine?
As @advocatemahere says;

Dr.Namara arrested Dr. Byarugaba, handed him to CID's Tom M. Rwabudongo as reported by C. Twiine. He was interdicted by Diana Atwiine. He's replaced by Dr.Byanyima who has been his deputy!
They practice open TRIBALISM & when we expose it, they acuse us of the same. Hypocrites!
