Humbling recognition from the African Young Leaders' Summit, 2019. I am grateful to all young leaders across Africa who selected me for this award. I dedicate it to all comrades and friends who sacrifice daily to see that Uganda and Africa get better. Aluta continua

Very saddened by the passing of Hon. Med Kaggwa, Chairperson of the Uganda Human Rights Commission. During the Arua ordeal, Med visited me in military detention & told the world what was going on. He did his best, under very difficult circumstances to promote rights. Rest well

Thank you for coming through & supporting the cause. The call to liberate Uganda is a call to all Ugandans. We must take up the mantle as Ugandans to liberate Uganda. Bravo #UOT Family. Kasukaali Keeko? #UotMeetsBobiwine twitter.com/gad_rogers/sta…

I condemn in the strongest terms, this savage, cruel and brutal treatment of Dr. @kizzabesigye1 by the Uganda Police. It is totally unacceptable for political leaders to continue being treated in this manner by the Museveni regime. This impunity has to end. Totally unacceptable

When we sing "Tulivimba mu Uganda empya" (We shall move with swag in a new Uganda), we summarise what our struggle is about- DIGNITY. We struggle to end the indignity which the citizen of Uganda is subjected to in various ways. This picture only captures part of that indignity.
1858
This is so deep, especially coming from a brother like Nubian, our coordinator for the arts and entertainment. A fraternity that the dictator is so desperately trying to compromise. Big up Rasta. Real ghetto yute nuh sell out. twitter.com/NubianBukenAli…

How sad! Such despicable actions only prove to us that ours is a right cause, and we must never give up until this madness stops. Joseph, we stand with you. May mzee's soul rest in peace. twitter.com/SabitiJoseph/s…

Many thanks to @Atulinda_Allan, a BBC photographer who put his camera down, quickly responded to the call, and gave Sweet Pepsi the life saving help. When protectors turn against citizens, citizens can only find it within themselves to protect each other. We shall overcome!

This video shows how the military descended on artiste & comrade Sweet Pepsi (Ssewankambo Hannington) and brutalised him last year. A peaceful, harmless citizen battered for gathering to express solidarity with me and our cause! Yesterday, he passed on. Deeply saddened. Rest well

The constant harassment, arrest, intimidation, kidnap and torture of journalists doing their work must be condemned by all people of good conscience. They know that their actions are high handed, illegal & pathetic. They target journalists for exposing them. Very cowardly. twitter.com/ntvuganda/stat…

First, the black mamba raided court. Then they raided schools & teargassed children. They then raided Parliament & recently raided students’ residences in the deep of the night. Today they raid a University library. The price of dictatorship anywhere usually rises before it falls twitter.com/DailyMonitor/s…
1864
Says our Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs, in total disregard for Article 208(2) of our Constitution which decrees that the army shall be non-partisan, national in character, patriotic, disciplined & subordinate to civilian authority. But #PeoplePower shall prevail
1865
The folly of dictatorship! 34 years, he impoverished, marginalised & ignored the ghetto. Tired of indignity, the ghetto rose up to speak- led by the Ghetto President. He dismissed us.We persisted. Very scared & desperate, he now returns as 'Man of Ghetto.' The sheer lack of shame
1866
Despite court ordering police to release 46 (of the 67) detained Makerere students, they're still under illegal detention. Police waiting for orders from above on whether to comply with a court order! For most, it's been 4 days already in very dirty cells. We struggle to end this
1867
When I sang, "Afande (Officer), I am not fighting you, I am fighting for you," such are the conditions I had in mind. These brothers and sisters live in pathetic conditions. Majority of them detest the corrupt regime. One day, they'll have the courage to stand with the people!
1868
And yes, the people we pay to protect us didn't find any problem breaking into the room of this student, a PWD, beating him up and destroying the few items found in his room! They even threw teargas canisters into students' rooms! How shameless (@ntvuganda footage)
1869
Sad video captured at Makerere University last night. Rooms broken into, female & male students dragged out of halls of residence by the military. Badly beaten! 67 under detention for protesting tuition hike. Pathetic violations against unarmed students demanding fairness!
1870
We had a workshop with some of our leaders in Kakiri town. About 8pm, police and the military surrounded the venue and stormed the meeting. Switched off the light! They declared the meeting illegal! Instead of breaking our resolve, thi impunity only strengthens us to soldier on.
1871
Cartoonists have thus far done a commendable job depicting the goings on in Uganda. Some two interesting pieces on the blockage of our concerts as well as the flooding of Kampala this rainy season.
1872
A liberation movement like ours must ensure that women take part in every decision & process of the liberation struggle. That is how you guarantee true women empowerment when the struggle is won. We are very deliberate about this! #PeoplePower_OurPower
1873
Inspired seeing young women courageously protest injustice in the face of brute force. Afraid of the population, Pres. Museveni criminalised this constitutional right & will respond to any protest with extreme violence! Our struggle is about ending this wanton abuse of the law.
1874
Yesterday, female students’ leaders at Makerere University set out to lead a peaceful protest against a 15% tuition raise, following many drop outs of many poor students. They were roughed up, beaten & brutally arrested by the military. Some have been suspended from the Uni. 1/2

Today the leadership of Women in People Power addressed the press about the verification of the voters' register, the plans to increase nomination fees for elective positions to prohibitive amounts & the ongoing human rights violations. Thank you #WIPP for leading the way!
