“Ugandan opposition leader Dr. Kizza Besigye, 69, detained in Luzira Maximum Security Prison on treason charges is in critical condition. He recently missed a court appearance due to illness, prompting the High Court in Kampala to adjourn his trial to Oct 1” (theHub TV, 08.09.2025).
Again, we are worried about the health and the state of Dr. Kizza Besigye. A man who has soon been over 300 days behind bars. The state plans to keep him behind bar 316 days on the 1st October 2025. They have kept him detained since 20th November 2024. That’s what the state has done without a proper trial or due process. No, this man is a political prisoner and a prisoner of conscience, which happened to be kidnapped and apprehended in Kenya.
So, this man is in trouble and in jeopardy. It isn’t that long ago that the prisoner and civilian was going on hunger strike. As the state wasn’t moving the case and doing it righteous. That’s why he did so as the only way to signal the needs for justice.
Dr. Kizza Besigye are a sign of the grim times, as his been a vocal dissident and opposition leader daring to challenge the regime. That’s why they are keeping him behind bars. Even when they have no case or no evidence of the criminal conspiracy or even supposed crimes that he was committed to do. If the state had any or was serious about the case. They wouldn’t have deferred it and been so lenient about issuing adjournment of it at any time.
The ones that believes this case is sincere. Then the state would have done it and showed their evidence. The state would have produced the witnesses and proven their case. Instead, they are just moving the case around and never making it happen. All to have excuses and reasons to keep him detained.
Dr. Kizza Besigye is a victim of his of work. Besigye’s own work ethic and activism is the reason for his arrest. His stances and ways of organizing is the reason why his behind bars. It isn’t a conspiracy, but a fact. That’s why the state and the authorities are barring him from ordinary life. Just to signal the Republic what it does to its detractors and what it does vocal dissidents. Peace.





“The mistake made 30 years ago will be corrected tomorrow. The Red Sea was in our hands 30 years ago. That history was yesterday’s mistake. Tomorrow it will be corrected. It is not too difficult” – Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali (05.09.2025).
In this world… there are the ones that are frivolous and arrogant, they are disregarding all norms and think they are above everyone else. With that in mind, the warlord and head of state of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali is one of them.
There is nothing new under the sun. The Prime Minister and his party has flaunted this idea before. The Prosperity Party and the FDRE is trying to use all sorts of reasoning to regain and take over territories by the Red Sea. They don’t mind how and is defending the indefensible. The PM and party seems to be willing to wage war to get their way. That’s nothing new and we know the PM kills to consolidate power. Therefore, the means to end is his end-game.
People should be aware and see the signs. The FDRE have been willing to use drones, stifle humanitarian aid and partake in massacres. Just to prove a point and get a leadership that bends the knee to the Prime Minister. That’s why everyone shouldn’t be shocked that the same man wouldn’t wage war and kill for a port. This man kills just to have a regional leader and regional leadership under his banner.
That there is a tension brewing between Addis Ababa and Asmara isn’t surprising. The two head of state has fallen out after the Tigray conflict. A conflict where both parties was trying to annihilate and destroy Tigray region to oblivion. This has since then soured things and never paid amends between the capitals.
Abiy would risk a lot more if he went against Eritrea now. It isn’t like Abiy have been able to contain the armed rebellion within the republic as is. The uprising or Fano and Oromo Liberation Army aren’t ceasing anytime soon. The conflicts and skirmishes are causing more harm and mayhem, which hasn’t stopped or become less of under the reign of Abiy. Under him there been more war and conflict, as Amhara, Oromia and elsewhere there are violent aggression on the regular. As well, as the state is targeting dissidents and opposition parties… on a regular basis.
Asmara shouldn’t worry to much, as the ENDF and Regional Special Forces are already stretched. They should know, as they saw how former allies of the FDRE has become it’s enemies in Fano. This para-military group and former regional special forces has united against the government to fight for their cause. As they feel betrayed by Abiy and his ilk. Therefore, Eritrea should know that ENDF isn’t as powerful as it once was. The only thing Abiy has is technology and the ability to import heavy weaponry.
The rhetoric and words are utter nonsense. They are rubbish, but we know that hasn’t stopped someone from waging a war before. People has created all sorts of narratives and made up “false-flag” operations to give the people a reason to wage war. That Abiy would find up an excuse and reason wouldn’t be surprising. Neither would it be shocking, as he thrives on war and becomes a bigger man by doing so. Everyone should see that and his dangerous.
This war is all out of folly. A conflict that is only self-destructive and making things worse in Eritrea too. The wet dreams of Assab and the Red Sea is only a nightmare in waiting. The moment they strike and we hear about the gun-smoke. That’s when there will be years of war and never-ending conflict. As the nations will fight to the bitter end and won’t stop until they have depleted all ways of securing funding for the warfare. That’s what we should fear.
I don’t put it past Abiy to start a war and try to consolidate more power. That’s who he is… and it is sadly so. I don’t wish death, but I can see the undertakers coming. Neither does I wish conflict, but warlords wages war. Peace.






Well, the run up to the 2026 General Elections are happening. Former people trying to vie for positions and offices has been blocked or lost their option within the party they were a part of. That being the National Resistance Movement or the National Unity Platform. Some seek other parties and places, which opened for them like the Democratic Front (DF). However, there won’t be open doors everywhere.
The nominations and the run-in’s at the Electoral Commissions Offices across the Republic. It is nothing new that people losing in the Primaries are running as independents after. That this happens for the NRM and NUP isn’t new. The NUP is saying the ones who does this is actually out of the party and cease being a members. We know the NRM aren’t doing this and they are capable of letting them return to the fold after the polls. The party has even appointed Independent MPs who has lost their races after General Elections. Therefore, we know the different attitudes to this.
The parties has to take it the way they want too. There is a risk that an individual will have more sway than a party. A party ticket isn’t a natural entry into office. Even if the constituency or the citizens in a region is used to voting for one party. Still, there is possibilities that a character and a person can become more viable than the party itself. We have seen this before and that can happen again in 2026.
These independents will regardless face an uphill battle. They should know this and they have to compete with state apparatus and party support systems, which can do so much more in the hey-days or on the polling day. We know polling agents of the opposition can be abducted and arrested on the voting day. So, if that happens to the likes of the NUP. Then what sort of power has an Independent candidate to safeguard his vote or his agents? We just know that they cannot do it or can afford to challenge it.
This is why the independents are there to stifle the competition, but also make things more unclear. As the options are jaded and the ruling regime can use lesser efforts to ensure the majority control. The opposition will be more fragmented and has less unified approach. As the independents who used to be members and wanted to run as flag-bearer, they are now challenging not only the state, but their own former party too.
The independents are here to stay. Some are naturally running as independents and aren’t trying to get a party nomination or be a flag-bearer. However, those aren’t the ordinary or the ones who has big-shot of getting there. The ones who are able are the ones who has already created a name and been able to build a structure for their candidacy. That takes time, money and skills to do. Especially, when you don’t have the help of a party and their support mechanisms. That’s what a candidate need and the joint efforts can also boost a candidacy. This is why an independent candidate has to bring the A-Game and be solid from day one. That’s a lot to ask and this is why plenty fails.
Time will tell… but expect some NUP leaning Independent MPs… just like we have seen NRM leaning Independent MPs in the past. That’s just natural and the same we will see in local government too. Peace.
