This afternoon, we laid to rest Archbishop Cyprian Kizito Lwanga, our beloved father in faith. Eternal rest, grant unto him, O LORD, and let your perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul rest in peace.

As Mandela told us, "There is no easy walk to freedom anywhere, and many of us will have to pass through the valley of the shadow of death again and again before we reach the mountaintop of our desires." More than three months and counting under illegal detention! Hang in there

Archbishop Lwanga joins several other eminent outspoken religious leaders who have recently died under very unclear circumstances.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord.
1231
He will be remembered for always speaking out against injustice and oppression. Only yesterday as he joined the faithful to celebrate the way of the cross, he raised his voice yet again and condemned the rampant abductions of our people by the state.

It is a dark day for the Catholic Church, and a dark day for Uganda.
I've learnt with shock about the sudden death of His Grace Dr. Cyprian Kizito Lwanga, the Archbishop of Kampala. It will be very hard to cope with this unimaginable loss.

This day, we join the world in commemorating mama Winnie Madikizela-Mandela. For her beliefs, she was tortured, subjected to house arrest, kept under surveillance, held in solitary confinement and banished. Yet in all this, she did not give up or turn back.
1234
Her courage is testament that fighting for freedom knows no gender or status. It simply takes conviction, determination and courage. I salute all the women and girls who are walking in her footsteps here in Uganda. Continue resting in peace. You stand tall as a giant of history.

Looked at this picture and remembered how much hell each day was on that campaign trail. Today, most people in the picture have made 90 days since their brutal and illegal arrest. We find strength in knowing that no amount of cruelty ever saved petty despots from the inevitable

“I have seen people tortured from night to morning. .....Museveni has made past bad leaders look very good. So good that, if you ask me, ‘Would you rather live under Amin’s regime?’ — I would. My father survived it.”

“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.”

"Until recently, Lieutenant Isaac Sankara was the head of the legal department in ...the Chieftancy of Military Intelligence. But after witnessing abuses committed by fellow officers in Mbuya, he fled the country in January 2020.

The troubling tale of Ronald Segawa, a young man who was abducted and tortured in the most horrendous manner, for simply doing a video in support of our party ahead of the election. Thankfully he's now recovering and able to tell what happened.

The conditions at Kitalya where Nubian Li and hundreds of comrades are detained for no crime whatsoever, are dire. They've complained of being denied basic rights, a healthcare crisis, an acute water shortage, and other humiliating conditions.

Paid respects to late President John Pombe Magufuli at the Tanzania High Commission in Kampala. We continue to stand with the people of Tanzania as they mourn their leader and salute them for ensuring a peaceful transition in the face of this tragedy. May his soul rest in peace.

Godfrey Kisembo, a Headteacher, told a DISO that he couldn't permit Gen. Museveni's posters on a school wall because schools should be non-partisan. For that, he was abducted and is still missing. Why we must remove the dictatorship!

Trigger-happy LDUs continue to kill people in the name of enforcing a senseless curfew that serves no purpose in the context of Uganda. Each day we get reports of innocent citizens murdered. Extrajudicial killings have no place in civilised society.

This morning, the home of my elder brother, Nyanzi Fred was attacked by heavily armed security operatives travelling in a 'drone'. They put all family members on gun point. Sensing danger, Nyanzi was able to escape, but they took his adopted son, Happy Mugisha. The intimidation!

Mr. Owiny-Dollo has disgraced himself, the judiciary and the office of the Chief Justice. The moral thing for him to do is to resign.

In withdrawing the Presidential election petition, we informed the world of the clearly biased and unprofessional conduct of Chief Justice Owiny-Dollo! He just did the unthinkable- confiscated the file of a Justice of the Supreme Court who was giving a dissenting decision! twitter.com/ntvuganda/stat…

My heartfelt condolences to the people of the United Republic of Tanzania on losing President John Pombe Magufuli. Eternal repose

Thankful to these fellow leaders who joined me in a peaceful protest in Kampala. As always, the cowardly regime arrested us all and released us without charge. The police continues to surround my home. We shall stop at nothing until Gen. Museveni stops humiliating our people!

The situation in Kampala! It is criminal for Gen. Museveni to continue treating peaceful Ugandans as criminals. Ugandans reserve the right to protest peacefully and unarmed. Museveni must stop intimidating the people!
