On this day in 1956, a man who would have one of the greatest influences on our country was born. Dr. @kizzabesigye1 has stood for the rights of others & borne immense personal sacrifices in the struggle for freedom & democracy. Very privileged to call him friend. To many more

As NRM MPs, Ministers & RDCs move around (often in NRM attire) distributing food surrounded by crowds, they found it convenient to arrest Hon. Zaake for donating to starving residents. Even when his agents handed out carefully packed food house to house! It's clear why #FreeZaake twitter.com/DailyMonitor/s…

No body, absolutely no body, should have the right to kill a Ugandan! It is unacceptable that we continue to see extrajudicial killings of many Ugandans by LDUs, police & other security officers. We all must demand that these violations stop and perpetrators are held to account twitter.com/ntvuganda/stat…

The times are hard, but we've always had good people around us. This was me with my brothers Pastor Ssentamu Paul and Julius Walakila many years ago. We now met and decided to recreate the moment. Hopefully it lightens up your moment.

Wrote to PM @RuhakanaR requesting that Uganda allows to receive Ugandans, citizens of fraternal African states & African-Americans stuck in parts of China. Our expectation is they would be quarantined on arrival as required. Awaiting response #savingourownsouls #AtlantaBlackStar

COVID-19 has changed the world. It could lead to significant setbacks in the fight against poverty as developed countries turn inwards.

We've constantly demanded that gov't cuts unnecessary expenditure & focuses on health sector. Parliament instead gave itself 10bn, ignoring all voices of dissent. If 20m is deposited on my account, I'll order my bank to transfer it back. Full statement: facebook.com/130737598011/p…

Together with my friend Neil Nelson, CEO @ATLBlackStar, we are offering to airlift Africans & African-Americans being subjected to inhumane treatment in parts of China. Only if we get an African nation and/or the US willing to receive them! #soos #savingourownsouls

The story of Easter is a story of triumph. It is a story of overcoming adversity. It is a story of hope. May that spirit guide us even as we go through these turbulent times of #COVID19. Wishing all who celebrate Easter a very rewarding day. God bless you

Africans in parts of China in pain. Many Ugandans forced onto streets calling for help. We condemn the targeted attacks & call upon Chinese authorities to urgently intervene. I also challenge home gov'ts to engage gov't of China or quickly repatriate these people. #Solidarity twitter.com/CNN/status/124…

Police & paramilitary outfit LDU seem to have found opportunity in #COVID19 to satisfy their appetite for violence. These women, plucked out of houses in Elegu were brutalised in the night. Forced to roll in mud, beaten & ordered to smear mud in private parts as officers laughed

Even as we face & focus on #COVID19, the regime in Uganda isn't relenting from repression! Pr. Andrew Muwanguzi, a #PeoplePower coordinator was subjected to torture all night. Charged with non-existent offence of 'abusing the Person of the President' facebook.com/130737598011/p…

Due to #COVID19 lockdown, many people are starving. I receive countless calls from struggling families. Some boda boda riders are helping us pick items from supermarkets & deliver to some elderly, PWDs & families of slain comrades. We've now asked the @MinofHealthUG to pick items
