Project Muhoozi: The Lieutenant General was aspiring all along

““Further, you need to investigate the very serious claims that the same actors are organizing elements of former Wembley under one police officer Ayegasire Nixon to assassinate people who disagree with this so-called family project of holding onto power in perpetuity,” “Muhoozi Project” (…) “indeed intelligence has picked some clandestine actions by this reckless and rather naïve actors to have some youth recruited as rebels and then frame some members of security services and key politicians perceived as anti-establishment.” The “Muhoozi project”” (General David Sejusa aka Tinye aka Tinyefuza letter to Director of ISO, Col Ronnie Balya, 29.03.2013).

We are now in October 2021 and the controversial letter was published by Red Pepper in May 2013. It has gone over 8 years since the first publication put it into print. Several of newspapers was under siege and also radio stations. They were investigated, as the letter wasn’t supposed to go public and secondly, the Internal Security Organization Director never got the letter was it claimed.

This here unleashed a secret and a narrative that was new. Because, there never been open discussion about succession from President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni. That was an insult and treason to do. If you aimed above your pay-grade or appointed office. You could expect to be sacked, loose your position and be vilified. That has happen to several of leaders within the National Resistance Movement (NRM). Therefore, the letter revealed not only a plan to assassinate several of people, but that there was a scheme to promote Lt. Gen. Muhoozi Kainerubaga.

That was supposed to be a secret and not talked about. He had already been favourably promoted and was leading the Special Forces Command. However, he wasn’t the sort of sought after leader. The army commander was only someone because of his birthright. His the son of the President got off easy and now they are preparing him for the Presidency. Just because his the son and the people are supposed to be carried away.

Yes, in recent months he has started to talk about diplomatic relations and pan-Africanism. Where he wants to prove his skills and leadership qualities. As he hold talks with high ranking officials in Somalia and talked with Kenyatta in Nairobi, Kenya. Now, his handlers and social media team is launching his poster for his campaign next term.

We can wonder if someone was assassinated for standing in the way of the project. We can wonder if someone lost their title and ranks. Because, they was vocal against the cause. That is what we should wonder about. Since, the son and his comrades are on the move. They have slowly done it. Muhoozi have even printed hoodies with “Project Muhoozi” on it. While he has claimed to the media that his not seeking the throne. Alas, it seems more likely now.

This sort of move is very special. Not strange considering how many who boosts his ego on the regular on social media. There are so many that blesses his name and his stature. They are making him into a saint and a messiah. Alas, his not a hero and neither popular. That is all a fraud and fake. Just like the polls ahead of the elections showing Yoweri the majority. Therefore, the same will be created for him.

It is really crazy thinking back now. That the General had to go to exile. Newspapers was closed for days and radios too. All for the secrecy of the succession. It is now alive and you can wonder at what cost and to what extent they are willing to take it. Since, the President and his men was willing to take it very far in 2013. Now it’s 2021 and this candidacy is a preparation for 2026. Which is the whole term we are in. However, that says it all. That they are trying to get the mind prepared for him and his “leadership”. Peace.

Burundi: Uprona – Communique de Presse No. 104 (11.10.2021)

Ethiopia: Ezema proves its alliance with Prosperity Party

If people still believes Berhanu Nega and the Ezema Party is an opposition Party. I hate to say it too you, but the latest statement defending the ‘Final’ offensive on the Tigray Defense Force (TDF) frontline around Gondar, Dessie or in North Wollo. The Tripartite Alliance has started their offensive in combination on all fronts. Using air-strikes and drones to get advances.

Ezema dropping this statement and being a Minister in the Cabinet. Shows how they are an ally. The Ezema is blaming the TDF and TPLF like the government does for the loss of civilian lives. While not taking into recognition, that the Tripartite Alliance are using air-strikes and that possibly hits civilian targets, which isn’t where the TDF was.

Like Ezema statement says this: “We have lost many members of the zonal administration saying, “We are under control.” The government has repeatedly called for an immediate end to hostilities, but no action has been taken. The area has been closed due to the closure of the roads by the militants due to the closure of the roads with neighboring woredas. Children who hear gunshots are terrified” (Ezema – ‘Attention needs to stop the attacks on innocent people in and around the East!’ 12.10.2021).

Yes, civil-war is an bloody affair. The army and the TDF is responsible for their actions. The Tripartite Alliance is the doing the offensive and using all means to target TDF. Therefore, they are the ones who is trying to send TDF packing out of the areas it has invaded in Amhara and Afar region. Which they did to have the battlefields outside of Tigray and hoping it could help the humanitarian convoys to be able to enter the region. Which the state haven’t done or cared about.

What is striking is that the Ezema feels sorry for the kids at the frontline, but haven’t dropped a statement in concern of the man-made famine or starvation within the Tigray Region. Only in concerned with the Amhara people who is suffering now. Which is tragic and concerning too. As they are innocent people. Just like the innocent people dying and starving within the Tigray region. The kids there also felt the sounds of the terrifying weapons, but the Ezema wasn’t worried about that. We should be worried about that everywhere.

According to information received from the scene, the federal security forces in the area were unable to rescue the civilians due to their small numbers. We find that the frequency and consistency of the attacks indicate that the government has not paid enough attention to the issue” (Ezema – ‘Attention needs to stop the attacks on innocent people in and around the East!’ 12.10.2021).

Here we see the people of Amhara matters, but the people of Tigray doesn’t. Because, the Federal Government is supposed to save them, but not the others. If so, why didn’t Ezema spend time on them? Alas, the Ezema defended and wanted the Eritrean army inside Tigray region. Because, that would save the cause of Ezema and the Prosperity Party. So, now the Tripartite Alliance is listening and doing their ‘Final’ offensive in the same area.

We urge the regional government and the Federal Police Commission to explain why it has not been possible to stop the recurring attacks and bring the perpetrators to justice. Ezema urges that a lasting solution be found so that they can continue their daily lives. We also call for clear and up-to-date information on the steps to be taken” (Ezema – ‘Attention needs to stop the attacks on innocent people in and around the East!’ 12.10.2021).

Here Ezema is defending the ‘Final’ offensive, as that will hopefully be the solution to the TDF invasion here. Alas, the state is the ones that air-strikes and uses drones as well. This is not the way TDF operates. Therefore, the innocent is in the cross-fire, because the Tripartite Alliance sends the army in this way. Still with all of that manpower and soldiers on the ground. The state is not able to save the civilians. That is really defeatist.

Ezema proves its loyalty and fights for the cause of government. Peace.

Somalia: Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation – Press Release (12.10.2021)

Eswatini: The Pupils or Students who got arrested yesterday will be left behind

MBABANE: Phila Buthelezi, the Minister of Labour and Social Security has finally confirmed on behalf of Mswati’s government that protesting students will be denied scholarships. Speaking during a press conference at Sibane Hotel on Monday, Buthelezi said children who were arrested and convicted for protesting would not get government scholarships. “Children who were arrested and convicted for protesting will not get government scholarships”, said the Minister” (Wendy Magagula – ‘Minister confirms protesting youth will be denied scholarships, Students President says coming democratic government will award them’ 12.10.2021, Swaziland News).

Yesterday, there was demonstrations at 50 schools. The Police and Army arrested, used live-bullets and hurt kids even. The authorities used harassment, assaults and attacked the children and youths who protested at their schools. The state has today closed down 82 schools.

We have some reports of arrests of these kids. We don’t know the amount of children who was arrested. Neither do we know how many youths who was detained either. That is unknown as of today. There is no numbers or verified amounts of people/pupils/students

This is all on the orders of King Mswati III who isn’t in favour of losing his absolute monarch status. He isn’t interested in democracy or people’s representatives. No, he wants to have all power and now that the pupils and students are challenging him. They have to suffer for it. Just like the two MPs who fights for democracy. That’s why his taking away their future, because they insulted him and his reign.

That’s why the King and his government is taking away scholarships and opportunities for participating and being part of a national demonstration against him. This is what is happening. It is silly, because these kids, pupils or students aren’t felons or criminals. They are civilians who defied the King. That’s it reality and the monopoly of violence is clear. As the kids was sent into cross-fire for doing their civic duty of protest against something they saw as unjust. That says it all and now the state will punish them in the future too.

It says a lot about the King and his reign when they are willing to do this. However, it is not shocking. Knowing that he believes he has the rights to take lives of citizens for a ritual too. Therefore, this just follows a pattern of his massive power in the Kingdom. Peace.
