The gruesome murder of Hon. Col. Ibrahim Abiriga & his bodyguard this evening is yet another sad reminder that our country is in a very serious crisis. Countrymen & women, when we condemn the breakdown of the state in Uganda, some people think it's for political reasons. 1/3

Africa has received $1.2tn in aid since 1990. Donors have spent more than $1000 per person over the 30 yrs, yet the average income of sub-Saharan Africans has only increased by $350! Little to show for the money, most of which is lost in corruption. Uganda is a classic example.

We reminded ourselves of the huge task on our shoulders and the expectations of the people of Uganda in our leadership.

It's a shame that the University's myopic leaders are now sacrificing at the altar of political expediency the very freedoms that secured them their current jobs in the first place! If they have any shame, they should reconsider the decision as it sets a terrible precedent.

I have sent along with this message, copies of the correspondences because one Emilian Kayima, the police spokesperson was on TV this morning saying that we did not comply with the guidelines although he did not specify anything that we did not fulfill

I challenged them to embrace unity, and shun the small divisions as they can easily derail our mission. #PeoplePowerOurPower #WeAreRemovingaDictator

I talked with him a few minutes ago and assured him of our support and comradeship, including taking measures to enable him secure his freedom at the earliest. We shall overcome!

Yet again, a small, unpopular, murderous, plundering clique was imposed on the people of Uganda, leaving them with no option but to evoke their inherent right to assert their will through all possible means. That effort is still on. We encourage every citizen to play their part.

For your jailers expected you to come out broken, but you came out stronger. They thought you were crushed, but the oppression has only increased your resolve. Yes, the struggle is our life, and we shall certainly overcome!

Seeing that majority of our soldiers and police officers are now on the side of the people, they are requiring them to vote 5 days before everyone else so that they are intimidated properly & their results tampered with, as opposed to voting with everyone else. etc 3/4

We pray that God will protect him and shield him from the evil schemes of the enemy.

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]

After blocking us from addressing a radio program in Mbale, they teargassed our people, beat them up and harassed them in many ways. But I want to thank those who braved the teargas and beatings and joined us to listen to the message of change.

They have also taken so many of our branding materials including posters, banners, berets, t-shirts, pens, notebooks, etc. Our CCTV cameras have been vandalised and equipment taken away. Some comrades have been arrested and most are being held at Kira Road police station.

What started as a door to door campaign ended up turning into something else. Bugiri seems to have no difference from Kyadondo. Kati bano katubakube colabo jebayita #Kyadondo_Bugiri_Connect. 1/2

Comrade Nattabi and other similarly affected candidates should be left to participate in the guild race without being persecuted for their political affiliations!

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

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…

We decided to proceed and engage with the station manager, but the police and military blocked us amidst heavy teargas and bullets. The great people of Lira turned out in large numbers to receive us and show strong disapproval of the regime's continous witch-hunt. Afwoyo matek!

On a similar note, I would like to extend my appreciation to your dear mum Mrs. Gertrude Nsamba who has played a pivotal role in turning you into the respectable citizen that you are. Amazaalibwa amalungi Ssebo
