RDC: Declaration Commune des Leaders de l’Opposition, candidats a l’Election Presidentielle en Republique Democratique du Congo (13.08.2018)







We can wonder, what was the plan of the authorities, as the vicious attempt to attack one car in Arua happen earlier today. This is after a report, that the Uganda People’s Defence Force (UPDF) – Special Force Command (SPC) did a direct shooting at the car of Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine in Arua. This has happen today as the Arua By-Election are going to the polls on the 15th July 2018. The SPC, the Presidential Guards and the Police Force have attacked the marches in and around the town. They have used tear-gas and live-bullets in town. This shows how the By-Elections turns into a War-Zone. Today, this has ended in fatal death of the Yasin Kawuma, the driver of Bobi Wine, as the SFC tried to assassinate him.
This election isn’t supposed to be about Bobi Wine, he is there as endorsement of Kassiano Wadri together with former FDC Party President Mugisha Muntu. While today President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni have campaigned for the NRM Flag-Bearer Nusura Tiperu. While the FDC have fielded Bruce Musema, who have campaigned together with Kizza Besigye. Therefore, there been three rallies on the final day before the polls. However, all of that fallen short, as the violence has hit Arua.
All of who is winning isn’t important today, as an innocent driver was killed by the Presidential Guards. These are people who came armed and ready, that is why the same security organizations have sealed of the hotel of Bobi Wine. Clearly, the authorities has tried to get rid of him.
This is clearly sending the message, that this by-election are so important, that they will even kill the opposition and their leaders to gain the seat of the deceased honorable Ibrahim Abiriga. I am sure the President will say some random hoodlum or terrorist did this. Promise to put up CCTV camera’s and such. However, the SFC will be untouched, as they killed the driver today.
The NRM cannot get away with this, as the driver was just someone caught randomly, as they went for the car of Bobi Wine. That could have been a political assassination, which haven’t been seen in a while. Even if the assassination of Abiriga was bad, this would have had more ramifications. As Bobi Wine has a standing in the population, while Abiriga was more a lonely fellow within the elite. Even the assassination of AIGP Andrew Kaweesi. Both have been serious and shown how easily big-men can get touched, however, trying to kill Bobi Wine is showing at what level of intimidation the NRM are up too.
This is coming, as Bobi Wine is arrested too. The endless impunity of the NRM and President Museveni isn’t stopped. The authorities knows this and ordered the SFC to attack and take out Bobi Wine. That happened as the opposition supporters was booing at the President during a march and the authorities went hostile. This shows how volatile the President is and how his ego plays out. That his opponents can make he take to arms, because his vision is jaded.
While Museveni are trying to play it out, that opposition members have attacked his car. How is people with stones able to destroy the windows of bullet-proof and tinted windows of his vehicle. There is no way this happen, as the police are arresting opposition leaders as culprits and making the public criminals. This shows how demeaning the President is, as the car of Bobi Wine was targeted, he is a bit lucky to be arrested and not silenced. That shows how little care the President has and how much force he needs to pull, to be able to intimidate and silence the public to get their vote. No vision, no message and no policies, just fear.
We can wonder if the President wanted to assassinate Robert Kyagulanyi, as his driver is now dead. That because the President ordered his Presidential Guards to stop them from marching. There was no mercy, no thought of consequences, just making sure he would overcome this nightmare of political opponent. The easiest way would be to assassinate him. Peace.

There are certain members of the media atmosphere, that is so deluded and so paid-off by the National Resistance Movement, that their vision is blurred. If someone would believe that this fellow was drinking or even lack of memory, than people would have believed that, since his reasoning is so far fetched and forged together. So, that the elitism and the favorable view is so in the open. That no matter what the Opposition would do. It would be wrong, anyone standing in the way of the NRM. They are vicious people and vindictive to be supporting the cause of toppling the dictatorship. However, that is the vision of Andrew Mwenda, the Independent Magazine owner and writer. The man whose lost his way, today. I will take extract of his two recent rants on the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC). I just have to scrutinize them, as they deserve.
First on disintegration of the FDC:
“Besigye himself did not start out as a radical extremist. However he adopted this position in order to keep the loyalty of his base. These radical extremists believe in a politics of blackmail, insults, lies and intimidation to get their way. They represent a worse alternative to President Yoweri Museveni’s politics of corruption and patronage. For all his faults, Museveni represents a more enlightened politics than Besigye and his extremists. He is to some degree liberal democratic – to a good extent – he has some tolerance of and respect for free speech and other liberal democratic values. But the radical extremists are fascists” (Mwenda, 2018).
This little extract shows how narrow-minded Mwenda has become, if that is in his own high esteem or his lack of vision. That he has to figure out a way to narrowly escape the perjury of his own mind. What we can see, is that no matter what Museveni does, it will be better than Besigye. Even if Museveni has all powers and made a crappy patronage system, that will be better than the FDC and Besigye ever will be. Even if no one has ever tried or succeeded in doing so. Therefore, just by this mere impasse, his reasoning are falling flat.
Secondly, how can liberal democratic values turn into fascists? Where in his right mind does this work out? It is just like reading political voodoo again. The mismatch of political in a petri-dish and use of tools to create an imaginary Nessie in the midst of Lake Albert. Because that is what Mwenda here does. If your members and supporters of Besigye, your fascists, by his reckoning, which is in itself a disgrace. As the Besigye supporters aren’t violent brown-shirt or ethnic cleansing individuals, even the P10 in diaspora isn’t supporting an armed struggle against the Museveni. So where in the mind of Mwenda makes these ideas. He surely need therapy or more schooling, because this doesn’t make sense.
FDC’s radical extremism:
“Here has been the tragedy of the struggle for democracy in Africa. Claims by any group opposed to a dictatorial government to be fighting for democracy are taken on face value. Its internal operations and the behaviour of its leaders and members are rarely questioned. And in many cases these groups have captured power and produced governments that are worse than those they overthrew. The lesson for Uganda is simple but fundamental: denouncing Museveni’s dictatorial tendencies is not enough to make a political movement liberal-democratic. Its modus operandi is more critical. FDC is the best positioned party to capture power from NRM. The radical extremists are its strongest faction in FDC. Hence a capture of power by FDC would be a victory for radical extremism and a danger to democracy in Uganda. Whatever the democratic deficits manifest inside NRM, Museveni individually and his party and government generally are fairly tolerant and liberal-minded. I built my career as a journalist exposing the rot in his government alongside its dictatorial tendencies. Yet throughout this period I frequently visited Museveni at State House and we argued over our differences. He would come to my radio show. He would telephone me to express disagreement over opinions or facts I had written. The same applies to NRM and UPDF leaders. They were regular guests on my radio show and my major sources of information” (Mwenda, 2018).
It is weird again that someone would be danger to democracy, while the other one are keeping a narrow hold of power in the State House. That is why someone whose been into power for 32 years are no problem for democracy, but the ones in opposition will cause havoc. That even without proof of it. This is just peddling lies and deception. That Mwenda says NRM are liberal and tolerant minded, why does everyone has to follow the guidance of Museveni and the ones who doesn’t get demoted.
If the NRM was so liberal and tolerant minded, why the NRM rebels get demoted? Why did the leadership throw out Mbabazi, Bukenya and others because of their ambitions? Mwenda, why doesn’t you mention that? While the FDC has had three Party Presidents by now since its inception since 2005, while the NRM since 1986 has had one in command from the State House. There has been lack of control from others.
So, therefore it is special, that ones ordering the army and police to be able to control power, have trouble with supporters of the opposition. This is just weird, that the NRM are okay with its mistakes, but the FDC will become fascists and extremists, but the armed military government of NRM are fine and dandy. If you don’t see flaws in that reasoning, than your right and Mwenda is off the chains.
We can clearly see the brilliant mind or the wacked head of Mwenda. His own head must be a battlefield, as the lack of reasoning and mental breakdown of the defense of Museveni is in the open. It is just like accepting the dictator and making the opposition criminal hoodlums. Not complaining about the ones ordering the killing, but saying the ones reporting the killings as the ill of society. That is what Mwenda is doing these days.
If you know, you know. Peace.

“Det er ubehagelig, han vil gjerne holde seg borte fra partipolitikken, og selvfølgelig bare være på på de hyggelige sakene” – Erna Solberg kommentar i 2008 etter at Arbeiderpartiet sendte ut Martin Kolberg til kommentere saker og ikke Statsminister Jens Stoltenberg selv.
Ja, makten kan være vanskelig, spesielt i koalisjoner. Da må man være ydmyk og også klare å balansere seire, tap og også ansikt. Noe som ikke er lett. Bare spørre Jens Stoltenberg og Kjell Magne Bondevik. Begge disse måte lide i stillingen som statsministre i koalisjonsregjeringer. De måtte ta en støyt og måtte tåle kritkk både internt, men også eksternt.
Det er spesielt passende å kritisere Erna Solberg nå. Etter fem år med makten i regjering i sammen med Fremskrittspartiet. Så har ikke Høyre eller henne vist de leder egenskaper som hun selv snakket så høyt om. Det har vært flere utskiftninger som har vært krevende for Solberg. Om dette gjaldt Robert Eriksson, Anders Anundsen, Per-Willy Amundsen eller Sylvi Listhaug.
Saken rundt Stortingets garasje og Høyres rolle i Presidentskapet under ledelsen med Olemic Thommessen har heller ikke vært gunstig. Der både vennetjenester og andre ting har kommet opp i lyset. Der en viser hvordan dårlig saksbehandling og utlysning av utbygging kan koste dyrt for staten. Der manglende ledelse og oversikt over dette. Gjør at en i ettertid kan se konsekvensen av denne topptunge administrasjonen på Stortinget.
Derfor har det ikke manglet på ting å legge vekt med denne regjeringen. Da snakke man heller ikke om hvordan kaos det har vært i deler av helse-sektoren under Bernt Høie, utredninger og konflikter rund tvangssammenslåinger både under Jan Tore Sanner og Monica Mæland. Dette er de store blemmene og som vil komme tilbake, ettersom distriktspolitikken og viktigheten av den vil komme ved kommune- og fylkestingsvalget i 2019.
I disse dager har man det enorme presset på fiskerimister Per Sandberg. Som viser enda en gang, at jernet hos Solberg ikke er så sterkt. Det er heller ikke stødig ledelse. Hun vil at folk skal «gå videre», men saken er langt fra avgjort. Politiets Sikkerhetstjeneste (PST) sjekker både arbeidsmobilen hans og også etterforsker kjæresten Letnes. Dette er en heisatur til Iran uten å følge prosedyrer med å melde til Statsministerens Kontor (SMK) eller tenke på hensynet til konfidensielle behandlinger av sensitive informasjon igjennom Stortinget. Noe som skjer på arbeidstelefon og som folkevalgte har tilgang på. Etter sannsynlighet kan ha blitt hacket og blitt sett av Iranske myndigheter. Også, har blitt vist at Sandberg har gjort det samme i Kina og Russland. Så fyren er ikke så nøye på rikets sikkerhet. Den kan lekes med, men så sa jo Listhaug at Stortinget er en barnehage. Så kanskje hun leker med Sandberg der?
Det er i allefall nå altfor mange saker, over lang tid som viser at Solbergs gjentatte angrep på manglende lederskap i Stoltenberg ikke faller i god jord. Ettersom henne faller gang på gang med sin egen regjering og ikke tar konsekvenser av manglende skjønn og vurderinger fra hennes oppnevnte ministere. Istedenfor å agere og gjøre noe. Så kommer det vage unnskyldninger og tilgivelser. Dette av ledere av den høyste orden, av våre departement, som skal være spydspissen av staten. De vi skal se opp til og ønske å bli. Istedenfor, ønsker vi heller rosa-bloggere og andre som lede-stjerner. Fordi de opptrår i allefall etisk korrekt og ikke lyger oss i ansiktet.
Det har vært mange ministre nå som har vist udyktighet, men som ikke Solberg ville ta tak og rette opp i. Også flere større reformer som hun ikke tar ansvar for å satt i verk og ta konsekvensene av. Om dette er kommunal-reformen eller polti-reformen. Begge har skjedd i hennes tid og kan sies at disse har levert. Det samme kan sies også om Riksrevisjons rapport om beredskap og sikring etter 22. juli har heller ikke blitt etterfulgt. Selv om Solberg klandret Stoltenberg regjeringen for manglende vilje og ønske om sikring. Så har hun hatt flere å følge opp Riksrevisjonen uten å tilsynelatende gjort noe. Hun har tilført FrP ministere i Justisministerposten og justisdepartementet, men disse har ikke levert. Annet enn at Anundsen lagde en betalt reklame-video over hvordan sikkerhetsarbeidet blir gjort per dags dato. Derfor burde noen som har kritisert Stoltenberg i en årrekke se seg selv litt mer ivare. Når det kommer til å ivareta akkurat disse momentene ved hennes stilling.
Det kan være at higen etter makt, beholde makt og være statsminister betyr mer for henne. Enn faktisk å lever noe, å være troverdig og faktisk stå for noe. Fordi, nå ser hun svak og grotesk ut. Det virker som Erna Solberg er lei og ikke vil stå ansikt til ansikt med realiteten. Den realiteten er at hun har kommet med fagre løfter og fortalt hvordan andre ikke har fått det til. Men hun selv har ikke akkurat levert. Det er mer kalde pizzaer fra take-awayen, enn levert varne på under 40 minutter fra budet.
Sandbergsaken og Listhaugsaken viser spesielt manglende evne til å ta over seg viktigheten. Ikke minst også verdien av både felleskapet og personlige egenskaper til ledelse av vitale organer som departement. Det burde ikke være til tilfeldige ledere som ikke anser seg selv og andre verdige. Som ikke ser sitt snitt å følge prosedyrer eller flertallsavgjørelser i Stortinget. Da er det på tide å ta på seg sekken og rusle hjem. Dette burde være alment og forståelig. Desverre er det ikke det.
Solberg ser bare sliten og lei. Det er forståelig, hennes samarbeidspartnere sendere henne sure-sild og ikke god makrell. Det er ikke merkelig at hun blir oppgitt. Istedenfor å virke smart og kløktig. Virker hun mer treg og usikker. Siden hun må trå varsomt. Hun trenger FrP, derfor må de avgjørelser skje i plenum og med velsignelse fra Siv Jensen. Den kommer nok en søndag, kanskje om Moxnes på nytt sender inn Mistillitsforslag til Stortinget. Da vil kanskje Sandberg gå av.
Inntil da, får vi se og høre mer trasig Solberg. Hvordan hun kan ha tilitt til Sandberg, det kan vi lure på eller om dette er det som blir sagt offentlig for redde ansikt. Siden hun trenger FrP.
De vi i allefall vet etter disse årene. Jern-Erna var en flopp, mer smørmyk-Erna. Som tilgir, ikke tenker så hardt på rikets sikkerhet og higer etter makt. Fordi, å se sporene etter kløkt og ledelse blir vanskeligere med tiden som går. Ikke blir koalisjonen mer solid, ei heller tilliten eller tryggheten at Høyre/FrP/Venstre vil gjøre noe smart. Dette fordi de er mer opptatt av egne roller enn å lever for oss borgere. Peace.
