Opinion: Soon treason charges will be pinned on Bobi Wine

If today is telling…

If today is showing us something.

Is that under these circumstances and these troubling times. Things are only getting more worse before they get any better.

The National Unity Platform (NUP) cannot run into the 2026 Elections thinking the authorities, state security agencies and whoever else that is connected to the government will act in good fate. That ship has sailed a long time ago.

The leader of the party, Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine has to know that the state are aligning itself and creating the pre-text for his arrest. They are creating enough noise and exhaustion of the case to make up evidence, conspiracy and finally charge him with treason. That’s what is up!

Expect that to happen long before the 2026 polls. This is gearing up right now. That’s why the NUP Headquarters was brutally vandalized and confiscated gears today. The same with the NUP Leadership School in Kamwokya. That’s all a deliberate ploy and done so in fashion to “collect evidence” and destroy the abilities of the party to organize. This is why the authorities does this and cause fear. It is to intimidate and to tarnish the reputation of the party.

Bobi Wine has to acknowledge this. He should know they are gathering all “intel” and all excuses to pin him to the cross. The leader has to know it is done to damage him and the party he has created. That’s the game here and they want to harm him so badly. They just need the excuse, the charges and the alleged conspiracy to take him down. Just like the sudden “army bullets” in his hotel-room in Arua. That’s what they do and what they want to create the assumption of now.

The NUP party is feeling the pinch. They are targeted and heavily too. The state is in high alert and on guard. They are taking in anyone and surely doing so weaken the party. The authorities are going after the ones they can and also just random people who happens to gather at the premises. That’s why the NUP is now getting people taken into custody by the guilt of association. This is really it.

The Uganda Police Force and other agencies can create reasons and try to forge a narrative. Nevertheless, we all know why they did it and it is a ploy to damage the party. That’s what the state does and nothing else.

Now we just have to await and see what sort of charges or criminal conspiracy they will put on Bobi Wine. Him and his closest associates should expect to be taken into custody. Possibly be flown to Moroto or something, far away from Buganda or Central Region. Just to ensure no riots or possible headaches. That’s what we should entertain in the near future.

Bobi Wine is up for a treason charge. That’s the gist of things. They don’t assault, destroy and deplete buildings like this just for fun. No, it is done with a scheme further down the line. That will justify the confiscated goods and whatnot they took. Not be surprised or shocked.

This is who the NRM and Museveni is. That’s what they do in the name of liberation and freedom fighting. They fought, so the next generation has to suffer. Peace.

South Sudan: Minister of Cabinet Affairs – South Sudan’s transitional period has officially been extended for two more years starting tomorrow, February 22, 2025 (21.02.2025)

The NRM will legalize the usage of GCM for civilians

“Why would anybody say to be tried in a military court is wrong? So that why Supreme Court said “no”. It can happen. Can be done. But the court itself, the military court should have one, two, three, four, five. To, to have fair constitution. We are very happy with that. This was correct. We didn’t know those gaps. Me I didn’t know. I thought there was no gap. I didn’t even know that somebody had removed the people, had changed the military court from subordinate court to be a parallel court. Apparently, somebody had made amendments saying that they are fine, the decision was not appealable. That’s not correct. Let it be initial centre of handling the matter, of course efficiency and focus, they are focusing on the discipline of the army, but also on the misuse of guns and weapons normally belonging to the army. So they are a bit focused. Why don’t you allow them to focus? Then you can, if somebody not satisfied, they can appeal to the superior courts. For us we don’t see anything” – President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni (19.01.2025).

The ones that thinks the National Resistance Movement (NRM) are working in their kindness in their hearts or for the betterment of the Republic. Then you are currently very wrong, as the oppression and the needs for controlled instruments of power is astute. The state needs certain types of Courts and Tribunals, which they control to keep people behind bars and on remand without any Constitutional oversight or accountability.

That¨s why the President is so mad at the Supreme Court. As it had clipped the wings of the oppression and the methods of keeping civilians behind bars. The prolonged detentions without any sort of fair trial or proceedings. That’s what His Excellency begs for and gotten his party to move.

The NRM Caucus today has made it possible and most likely will amend the UPDF Act in such a manner that allows civilians to be tried first in the General Court Martial. They are saying that is in only in cases concerning “the civilians who acquire specified firearms illegally, be tried by the Military Court Martial, in first instance, with the rights to appeal through the civilian courts”. That’s the language used and look closely.

The first instance meaning the first court is the GCM. The first one for illegally acquire firearms are the GCM. So, if the authorities are pinning illegal firearms on someone. They can take that person and charge that person at the GCM. That’s what they want to do. This is giving the authorities the excuse and the reason to use the GCM.

The ones wondering where the NRM Caucus got this idea from… that was from the Fountain of Honour and they are just honouring his whims. They are just doing his bidding and serving his wishes. The President wanted this and now they are committing to enacting it.

This is all President Museveni and how he wants the Republic to be run. He needs the General Court Martial and appointed stooges to continue the tyranny. That’s all he wants and needs. He doesn’t care about rule of law or justice for civilians. No, the President needs the GCM to serve his interests and his purpose of spreading fear or intimidation to the masses. They should fear and hope they never get apprehended to a GCM. That is the reality here and that’s what the President wants.

So his Law Enforcement and Security Organizations can detain and keep dissidents at bay. That without interference or legal mechanisms to stop them in their tracks. They need this sort of apparatus to ensure just that.

This is why the NRM works on overtime to make it happen. Not for the betterment or justified to the people. No, they do it to please their master and ensure his subjects can get taken to court. Peace.

The NUP is directly targeted by the regime

“In the wake of the recent alleged abduction of Fred Nyanzi Ssentamu, the head of mobilisation for the Opposition National Unity Platform as well as the reported kidnapping of seven party members, Joel Ssenyonyi, the Leader of Opposition in Parliament has demanded an explanation from the government on the people who are behind the troubling activities. During today’s Parliament sitting, government promised to launch an investigation and provide answers by Tuesday” (NTV Uganda, 20.02.2025).

“Whatever happens to me, Museveni and his son are responsible. From yesterday, our home is being patrolled by strange men in civilian clothes who appear to be armed. We have information that they’re after my life – as threatened by Museveni’s son a few days ago. They have gone ahead to trail and abduct many of our comrades, including part of my security team. Right now, they’re raiding our Party headquarters. We expect anything from the cowardly regime – BUT WE ARE NOT INTIMIDATED!” (Bobi Wine, 21.02.2025).

The National Unity Platform (NUP) is now directly attacked and is the centre of the oppression of the regime. As they are using DIS (former CMI) and other agencies to oversee and abduct leaders or activists from the opposition party. That’s what the regime is doing. The National Resistance Movement (NRM) is directly going after the NUP and its obvious.

The drones or Panda Gari’s is used now against the NUP. The leaders and the activists are taken in and kept incommunicado. They are keeping them in safe-houses and such, which is withholding them from the courts or even a proper trial. Therefore, the system is rigged against them for their association with the NUP.

The authorities have abducted four of the members of the Election Management Committee of the NUP. It has abducted the Chairman Nyanzi. Now there are reports that the authorities are trailing Eddie Mutwe and they have already captured Achileo Kivumbi and Gaddafi Mugumya too. Therefore, the state is going after anyone and anybody from the NUP recently.

The state authorities and their security agencies are clearly targeting the NUP. They are using fear and intimidation. The usage of torture and suffering to silence the ones who dares to be a part of NUP and be visible leaders of it. That’s why the DIS and other security agencies are going after them. It is to show them who is in power and telling them to stop.

This isn’t new but has amped up over the recent days. They are showing more fierce force, as they want to prove their power and prestige by taking people in. That’s why the NUP is in the aim of the authorities.

It is just tragic that the state does this… the NUP activists and leaders are targeted for a reason. This because the state fears them and are afraid of their popularity. This is why they are targeted and they need to silence them completely. The authorities are doing this ahead of the 2026 polls and it’s so clear why.

The state is using their force and possible monopoly of violence to destroy the biggest opposition party. The NUP is so big and that’s why it has to be crushed. That’s what the President and his son wants… they been able to corrupt other opposition parties, but not been able to undermine or stop the NUP. That’s why they are using these methods to block, silence and ensure the NUP is weakened. Therefore, we should expect more of this in the up-coming months. As the state gears up for 2026 elections.

The NUP shouldn’t be here and feel this pendulum, but we know why it is happening. This is who the state is and what it has become. Peace.

Justice Forum (JEEMA) – Besigye: JEEMA urges NRM supporters to restrain their party leadership’s extreme approaches (21.02.2025)

The Silent War: Gen. Kabarebe sanctioned for his involvement with M23

“James Kabarebe (Kabarebe) is a former RDF general and the current Minister of State for Regional Integration in the Rwandan Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He is a central political and military figure and has played key roles in conflicts in the DRC over the past three decades. Kabarebe is a Rwandan government liaison to M23 and orchestrates RDF support for the armed group. In addition, Kabarebe manages much of Rwanda and M23’s generation of revenue from the DRC’s mineral resources. He has coordinated the export of extracted minerals from mining sites in the DRC for eventual export from Rwanda” (U.S. Department of the Treasury – ‘Treasury Sanctions Rwandan Minister and Senior Militant for Conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo’ 20.02.2025).

Yesterday, the Washington D.C. did something important to shine a light on the advances of M23 in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The U.S. authorities are sending a signal, as they are targeting the commander and the one who has been in commando of the M23 from Kigali. That being Gen. James Kabarebe.

We know Kabarebe and the regime of Kigali wants to disassociate itself with M23. Regardless of that, this is yet another proof of their connection. He has been the leader and the one who has had Gen. Sultani Makenga under his wings. Therefore, we know the rebrand of CNDP and new support of M23 fits the paradigm of Kigali’s proxy war within the Kivu provinces.

Kabarebe has used the rhetoric against FDLR, as the Government of Rwanda continues to use as a shield for interfering and annexing the resource rich territories of North and South Kivu provinces.

“Money is not a problem. In the bush we survived without resources … Without help, we will develop better; it will give us even more energy. If they are basing their point for sanctions on lies, let them do it, it will not influence Rwanda. In Congo, we did not start these stories, neither did we support them, and now we will not go there to clean up their mess” (Gen. James Kabarebe – ‘Le Soir (B) – Rwandan Defense Minister James Kabarebe Spills ‘Secrets’ About DRC, M23 (translation)’ 01.08.2012).

We know the General and the regime of Kigali will downplay and disassociate itself. It has too, but we know that M23 has connections and are supported by Rwanda. They can act like we don’t know and it’s false, but that doesn’t make it untrue. We know the General doesn’t want this association, but certainly Kabarebe is profiting for the relations and commando of M23.

That the Trump Administration sanctions him is signalling Kigali. They are telling the world that they believe of his association and facilitation of M23, which is advancing in the Kivu provinces. Therefore, this militia is proven to be proxy of Rwanda. We know Kigali wants to disassociate itself and act like outsider of it all. Except the reality is vastly different from the Kigali propaganda, which claims Kinshasa is lying about them. Therefore, this is a common practice, and we have seen it for decades under President Paul Kagame.

This sanction of him won’t stop the relentless activities of the M23 in the DRC. The General will continue his works and participate it in regardless. He thinks his lies and deception can change it. They will blame the DRC and Kinshasa on a regular basis. That’s what the General does. It is just part of the modus operandi of the Kigali regime.

It is nice to see Gen. Kabarebe sanctioned, but it won’t force the hands of the M23 or the ones logistical supporting the proxy militia within the DRC. Peace.
