“People like [Speaker] Anita Among are not the problem. The real problem we have is the traitors working for foreigners. They are not mistake makers but outright traitors working for wrong foreigners like homosexuals and imperialists. How can you talk so much on social media about Anita Among instead of those traitors? I’m getting intelligence and we’re going to expose those traitors” – President Yoweri Tibuhurwa Kaguta Museveni (23.03.2024).
We are just supposed to be forgetful. We are just supposed to look away from the obvious and act indifferent. That’s what the President wants and he plays a blame game. It isn’t foreigners fault that the Parliament is corrupted, the foreigners aren’t partaking in the illicit funds and misuse of office in Parliament. That’s on the merit on the ones holding office in the Parliament right now.
Yes, the President uses sloganeering and familiar tropes. He uses vilification and creating invisible enemies that works with an invisible hand to influence everyone. President Museveni thinks we have forgotten and that we are all delusional.
We all know that Museveni was a donor darling and a beloved character in the West. We know that the state, his government and all institution got a giant boost by foreign direct government aid. We have seen how the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank has directly changed output and guided the state after the bush-war. It is not like the government haven’t had a large part of the funding from outside sources, which means foreign influence directly in the pockets of the President. So, he should speak less of foreign traitors and look into his own actions first.
President Museveni has fought the “war on terror” on behalf of the West. Museveni have accepted using his armies in the “dirty” wars that the Western armies doesn’t want to touch. His armies have been deployed, trained and gotten ammunition as a pay for doing these services. We are supposed to forget that part too. That’s how has been beloved by Clinton and W. Bush. That’s just something we are supposed to forget aren’t we.
That’s why homosexuals and foreign interference is bad in 2024. When the old man has spent fortunes of donations and aide over the years. The President has wasted foreign funds over decades. While the funds from outside has been diminishing of late, that’s because his not following the interests of the donors. He is going in his own tune and that’s why he has to take out loans to cover the deficit in his budgets. Therefore, his mad at the donors who doesn’t follow his every whim. That’s what his “yes-men” does and Presidential Advisors does.
So to defend the Speaker by speaking ill like this… it isn’t working. Especially when you have knowledge of how someone has operated over the years. The Bretton Woods and the UN Organizations has come in with massive relief. They have shielded and taken a load of the President head. He has gotten it easier because they captured the shortfall when he needed it. They delivered where his state couldn’t and that’s why its rich calling them traitors now. When he traded shots, bulletins and speeches with them in the past. He would have enjoyed the glory in 2024 if he could. The President would have danced in Washington D.C. if someone allowed him. However, that’s not the case…. And we know it.
Shiish. Sigh. This is tiring and repetitive. Peace.
