Burundi: Coalition des Forces de l’Opposition Burundaise pour le Retablissement de l’Accord d’Arusha “CFOR-ARUSHA” – Declaration No. 0001/2019 (10.09.2019)



A citizen died on the fatal day of 24th March 2019. An ordinary person who just happen to cross path with National Resistance Movement (NRM) Member of Parliament Aidah Nantaba. As the stories of what happened at Naggalama.
Because within mere days, it went from an assassination attempt to a murder case. Where even the state said it was an illegal killing of Robert Ssebulime that day. This was in public statements, by Police Spokesman Fred Enage on the 27th March 2019. Since then, there haven’t been much. There haven’t been any indication, that the security guard nor anyone associated with Nantaba MP would get sentenced or punished for the acts that day.
That is why the news of the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) Mike Chibita pulled the Withdrawal Form dated to 9th September 2019 on this case, which stated that the state “discontinued proceedings against Nantaba Idah Erios”. It states in black-and-white, that the state will not pursuit justice in this matter. The death of Robert is silenced. The illegal killing of the security guards of the MPs doesn’t matter. It matters to the remaining family of Robert, his kids and their future, but it doesn’t have consequences, that they took his life early.
You can say its procedure, that its like this when the Police Force haven’t collected enough affidavit, enough evidence or proactively investigated the case. However, there are plenty more political cases that has run for years. That has been producing court dates and continued indefinitely. Even when the state haven’t produced or tried to dismiss their own case. This being the plenty of Walk-to-Work charges, the campaign related charges and mere magical stones of Arua. No one is answering for or getting the punishment for shooting and killing the driver of Bobi Wine in Arua. They are continuing like a sore thumb to the ones involved, while the ones hurt by these actions made. Are still not answered for as well, just like Robert. They are just resting in peace and no one is sentenced for silencing them.
At this mere junction, there is two states within the state. An elite who can use force, enforce death and get away with it. While the others can be arrested, detained and killed without any justification. The MPs, the NRM high-ranking officials are above the law and has all the power to seal people’s life or death. But the others are lucky to be in the Republic breathing. Since, there is no mercy, is no law or no law-enforcement that is there for them.
Aidah Nantaba MP have proven that. Robert has no voice, has no system to get proper answer for his case. It is withdrawn as his breath, his life and his memory isn’t worth a damn. While the MP can live scotch free, while she was overseeing the most valuable asset Robert had, his own life, which he cannot get back. This could be taken away, but nobody is answering for the taking of it.
The ghost of Robert will now always follow Nantaba MP. She has a victim who will follow her and until he get justice. He will be there and never get rest. Because, his family and his soul deserves to get justified relief. Instead, the government are shielding its own, like the upper-class who is above us other mere mortals. Peace.














I know the National Resistance Movement (NRM) will be shocked to their core, as they have been eating the propaganda and the spoils of the unfinished revolution of Yoweri Kaguta Museveni. Whose since the inception in the early 1980s of the NRA. Has spoiled his legacy, destroyed his victories and sealed his fate on this here earth.
The NRM won’t accept this, that is why the former freedom fighter, the liberation activists and current head-of-state. Will be remembered in the same fashion as Mugabe. They have both similarities, even as the Ugandan one has even more wars in the near area, than his counterpart.
They both have gone from being liberation heroes to become oppressors. They have both destroyed the legacy of positive change, because they lingered in power. They are both known for patronage and misuse of the army to control the population. Both men have rigged elections, silence the opposition, wrecked the economy and tried to act as big-men everywhere else.
President Museveni has also been involved in conflicts in and around the East African hemisphere. Even his soldiers have been hired as far away as the Equatorial Guinea. His been involved in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Museveni has supposedly helped and gotten rid of Juvenal Habyarimana of Rwanda, Mobutu Sese Seko of DRC, Laurent Kabila of the DRC and John Garang of South Sudan. Therefore, his legacy will live on, not because of the men stopped in the Republic, but also elsewhere.
Still, his actions in his own Republic will be calculated into the same fashion as Mugabe. As a man who had the Republic and had a promising start. Was loved by both the West and had the public behind him. Over time he lingered and gotten more and more sinister. His killing of allies, getting rid of generals and the acts of previous leadership. Shows, that the President didn’t really come with the promised change, but instead just changed the head.
When, big-men in and around the President dies. When kings and other noble men are in exile, when people are randomly kidnapped, tortured and killed. As the troubles of the past is coming back. The lawlessness and rampant injustice is ruling, because the patronage and the security outfits are loyal to the President, but not serving the public. This is why, the President will be remembered for that. For the deaths in Kasese, the assassinations, arbitrary arrests, the torture of opposition leaders and the usage of military to let the NRM stay in power.
These sort of things, make the similarities between him and Mugabe go away. That the same sort of story can be told. The same sort of obituaries can be written, just to Ugandan context with some more flex of power in the closer hinterland of Kampala.
Museveni will be seen as a former freedom fighter turned oppressor. Someone who went from having the promise and possible change the Republic needed. To become like so many others, be hooked on the greed, the power and the eternal faith that your the selected one to rule.
Yoweri went from being the humble servant to become the King, His Excellency and fountain of honour. The man who went from being the popular and promising executive, to become the self-styled President for life.
Mugabe ruled for 37 years, Museveni is at his 33 years. With so many similarities, that is why Mugabe was usually attending the inaugurations of him and likewise did Museveni visit Harare. That is just the way it is, they were brothers from different mothers. They chose this path.
Their intentions doesn’t matter now, what they used their time and their lives. Created lot of hurt, damaged a lot of peoples lives. They used it for personal gain on the cost of others. Others might salute them, but the victims, the ones who lost it all. Should be remembered, as they are not written in the sky. They will not have lavish burials or even a grave to go to. These people will die like and vanish like banana leafs, while these big-men will have ceremonies and tales written about them. While the people they made suffer, will not be heard or even have the ability to speak.
This is why, we know that the day of final destination is coming to Yoweri or Yosri. His last breath will come eventually. We don’t know when, but that is destined to come. We don’t know when, but Lord knows. Then, we will write in similar fashion and certainly not escape the truth of what Museveni did. Peace.



This is a point that will not go home at the extreme right or the Brexiteers, as they are in dire need of a Tories and Brexit Party official to running the show. They cannot see a future or dime light of hope, without any sort of leadership, which entails Tories or Farage. These people are not the ones I listening too. Because, self-destruction mode has been going on since the referendum and we can say its not tasting splendid.
However, the state of the total chaos, resignation and lack of trust is there. The blackballing and hard-line approach to Jeremy Corbyn is obnoxious as this point. Maybe because his leadership and his attitude has secured the most win in Parliament, than anyone in current history. Surely that is hitting a nerve with these so-called conservatives.
They are all putting blame on Corbyn, blame on Labour, but all this time it’s the Tories with DUP whose running the show. It hasn’t been Corbyn who been driving and destroying the nation. No, it’s the Tories who has used Brexit and used the referendum to their advantage, but spoilt it and shot themselves in the foot.
That is why everyone pinpoint, use their pencils and their wordings against Corbyn. Like his Satan, the devil in the flesh, the evil incarnated and the one who’s vilified beyond any reasonable doubt. That is who Corbyn is, even Theresa May and the short-lived Boris Johnson administration have been skating compared to the wordings used against Corbyn. In addition, Corbyn haven’t been a minute or second in power, no the other guy has been, not him.
This is why I am writing, because its clear that the establishment, the elite fear Corbyn. Like his the one who take away their grants, their perks and their loopholes to tax-relief in the British Virgin Islands. Because who knows why his that bad, when he has had the most victories in Parliament.
The Tories is the ones who is cannibalizing itself and using Corbyn as a shield. In way that is obvious, that they can dismantle themselves and vote in order of their beliefs, but the others is not accepted. It is funny that the Withdrawal Agreement could be voted for three times, the No Confidence could be plenty of times against the Prime Minister after David Cameron, but having a new referendum for Scotland and Brexit is a no-go?
Because, voting for self interests are cool, but voting for the bigger picture again? Not cool. That is the message from the Tories, who clearly plan to use all means to stop Corbyn. Even if it means total utter disgraceful ways of demolishing democratic institutions and also self-inflicted harm on the economy and livelihood of plenty. That is what the Brexit does, especially a no-deal. That no-deal will ensure problems with medicine, food and others imports.
Still, the Tories will blame Corbyn. Everyone will point at him, while the ones at the Helm, is the ones that has created this mess. Because they didn’t fix it, they just made it worse. That is what the gentle of the Tories have done. They have let the Brexit burn and let out no confessions.
They are ushering it in, but giving the credit to Corbyn. Like a banker taking huge loans, but asking the state to bail him out. In this picture, Corbyn is the state. But in reality he isn’t, his still the opposition, but is blamed for being the state. His the one whose villain, when in reality it’s the Tories who has done this and trying to deflect their damage, their hurt and their arrogant mischief. Peace.
