"My son, never lose focus or allow to be distracted by trivial matters." Words from Hon. Justice Dr. Prof. G. W. Kanyeihamba, one of Africa's leading scholars of constitutional law, and draftsman for the original 1995 Uganda Constitution. He makes 80 next month. What an honor!

Listening to "Mukama nyongela amaanyi" (God add upon me strength) by this legendary brother, Mowzey Radio. Even in your absence from the body, you continue to inspire us. Powerful lyrics! The power of music! Continue resting in power bro. youtu.be/aE0j0g8F0eE

"And what does the LORD require of you but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?" ~ Micah 6:8
Wishing you all a blessed Sunday, even as we reflect on these timeless words of scripture.

Spent the day in Kyadondo East Constituency supervising projects and listening to the concerns of our people, before proceeding to attend a send-off of a local leader's daughter. Yes, most of our people are poor, many sick, many hungry- but they have HOPE and that matters!

Thank you @FT & @davidpilling for coming down to the Ghetto of Kamwokya- Kampala to talk to our people and do this incredible interview. It was indeed a great opportunity for me to tell my story, highlight the plight of our citizens & our struggle for democracy and human rights. twitter.com/FinancialTimes…

When freedom of expression becomes the target of suppression, opposition becomes our position. We shall not tire to struggle for the liberation of our motherland from this kind of tyranny. We shall certainly overcome.

And so like that, Joseph Kabuleta, former journalist, was kidnapped & taken into custody over facebook posts that are offensive to President Museveni. Calling him a gambler, thief and liar! Apparent move to silence all critics- esp those bold enough to expose his evil schemes.

They no longer have time to introduce themselves as required by law. They just kidnap you, bump you into a private car, and you'll be lucky if not tortured in there. Resultantly, kidnappers who are not in security now have a field day- their victims can't tell who's taking them. twitter.com/newvisionwire/…

B'se those who govern us don't care for the next generation but the next general election. The ordinary citizen will always suffer when gov't is preoccupied with how it stays in power than with the plight of the ordinary citizen. That's why we struggle day and night to end this. twitter.com/ntvuganda/stat…

This day, we remember 69 Ugandan boys and men who were crammed into a train wagon at #Mukura, until they died of suffocation and hunger. To-date, their families' cries for justice have been ignored. Instead, the number of victims of state brutality has only since increased daily.

There is no greater blessing than having a shoulder to lean on at the end of each day- good or bad, peaceful or tumultuous. I celebrate you each day @BarbieKitungo for taking on what you did not sign up for, and taking it on with so much courage, so much strength, so much grace.

"You cannot carry out fundamental change without a certain amount of madness. It comes from nonconformity.... It took the madmen of yesterday for us to be able to act with extreme clarity today. I want to be one of those madmen. We must dare to invent the future." Thomas Sankara

Mr. Candia Luiji, owner of Pacific hotel- Arua where I stayed before my brutal arrest and torture last year has passed on. He stood his ground & refused to be compromised and lie that I entered the hotel with guns and bullets which were paraded by the state. A good man! RIP sir

"There is a reason you separate the military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people." William Adama. #MilitaryState #FreedomInSight twitter.com/DailyMonitor/s…

Nalongo Nana is a human rights defender. In April when I was under house arrest, she went to see the IGP about it. Officers pounced on her, beat her & damaged her 7.5 months pregnancy. Resultantly, she had a premature baby & lost her uterus. Hang in there mama. We shall overcome

We are @UgandaCranes. Uganda Cranes is us. We fall and rise together. Well done guys. You put up a spirited fight. Proud of you. Let's keep the hope alive. Great potential - if we work hard to strengthen and motivate the team ahead of the next tournaments.
1967
In a deeply divided nation, the @UgandaCranes have a way of bringing us together. When they win, we celebrate together. When they lose, we carry the loss together. For this, we root for you guys continuously- right from improved welfare. And tonight we'll be rooting 4 you #UGASEN

Tel rings-Bobi, u have a new offence over Arua. Me-What offence sir? Annoying, Alarming & Ridiculing the person of President M7! Looks like it wasn't ridiculous enough to frame me with guns, lie tortured MP Zaake escaped from custody & claim 37 pple used a stone to smash his car!

Profoundly humbled to get this International Humanitarian Award, which I dedicate to the men, women and children of Uganda who have paid the ultimate price in our struggles for democracy. Thank you @RevJJackson and the entire leadership of @RPCoalition for this recognition.
