Mali: Commission des soutiens de l’Imam Mahmoud Dicko – Communique relatif au retour de l’Imam Mahmoud Dicko (14.02.2025)





“(3) A Member shall not impute improper motive to the President or use the name of the President to influence debate.’
“(4) It is out of order to make reference to the conduct of the President, Speaker, Members, the Chief Justice and Judges of the Courts of Judicature in ang amendment, question to a Member or remarks in a debate on a Motion debating with any other subject.”
“(5) It is out of order to impute improper motive to the President or use the name of the President to influence debate” (Amended Rule 72 of Rules of Procedure of Parliament, 2025).
The 11th Parliament is really a sorry state, and the government business is a sad one. They are more into the minor things and not the real problems of the constituents of the members. No, the Parliament are busy praising the President and his every whim. That’s what they are doing and what they are busy deciding.
You would think the August House had some more distressing or concerning things to discuss. The Members of Parliament aren’t allowed to discuss, talk about or participate in debates where they are debating things in a Plenary Sessions.
This is stifling the talk and debate of the MPs. They are now “out of order” if they actively or directly use the Presidents name or his Office. The President is now shielded from accountability and transparency, as the rules of procedures are set in this way. The Parliament are now silencing the critic of the President.
General Museveni and his junta have decided that his name is holy. He is a deity and the most high. That Museveni is the King of Kings, the almighty and the saviour of the Republic. This is what we are seeing here.
Yoweri Tibuhurwa Kaguta Museveni is now someone who you cannot talk about or even mention in the Parliament. If you think that is saving his grace or even salvaging him in public. No, it is only showing what lingering in office does to you and what he directs people to do. He wants peace and doesn’t want scrutiny.
This rule is only cementing … what we already knew and show who they are. President Museveni should understand the sentiment and why his discussed. That’s because his directing and ordering people around. They are all his minions who follows his codes and his whims. That’s why they are there… and this is what the President is and we know.
President Museveni isn’t out of the woods. He is just showing why he isn’t fit for office. He wants to get away with everything and thinks everyone should accept whatever he does. That is who he is and what he does.
Museveni should be debated in the Parliament. As long as his the Commander-in-Chief and His Excellency. As long as his in power. There is a need for checks-and-balances. Museveni needs to be addressed and debated over. As he uses power and sways the instruments of the state whenever he deems fit. Therefore, the Parliament needs to address him and not be blocked from doing so.
This rule is foolish and only fools would bow down to this. It is only bootlickers and people who are in it for a envelope will dance to this tune. The rest should continue to move and know this is where his heart is at. This is who the President is, and he got this amended for a purpose. Because, Museveni wants silence and people nodding to whatever he does. He doesn’t want the opposition to mention his name. Peace.

“A frail-looking Kizza Besigye appears in the dock at Buganda Road Chief Magistrate Court where he is charged alongside Samuel Lubega Mukaaku, after they were arrested in downtown Kampala while demonstrating against high commodity prices in Uganda in 2022. His lawyers, led by Erias Lukwago, have argued that the court proceedings should not continue, when Dr Besigye is in such a state as this amounts to violation of his human right” (Daily Monitor, 14.02.2025).
“Kizza Besigye, a four-time presidential candidate, appears at Buganda Road Court after missing the last hearing due to ill health. He has been on hunger strike for a week. Besigye faces charges linked to a 2022 protest over high commodity prices” (Centenary Radio 88.1 FM Radio, 14.02.2025).
There is no need to address things in the slightest of terms. The video clips and the pictures of Dr. Kizza Besigye appearing at the Buganda Road Chief Magistrate Court should worry anyone who has followed the career of the freedom fighter and activist.
Besigye needs the authorities and the state to act on his behalf. The authorities and state has to allow him to get medical treatment. Besigye needs to be relieved from the prison cell and be at a hospital. That’s if the state is worried about the life of Besigye and his well-being. They need to support him and give him help as soon as possible.
At this moment of time. The impunity and the injustice that is served towards Besigye is endangering his life. He is being destroyed and getting into a worser situation. Seeing Besigye like this is just tragic.
Besigye deserves better. He needs help. That’s it! There is nothing else to say. We are all seeing it and we are seeing a state that isn’t concerned about his well-being. That’s why they are doing this to him, and we are seeing the damage done. This is what the state does to him and it’s a reflection of how it oppresses the civilians to stay in power. Peace.



Alex Muhammed Luswa Luwemba, the former Personal Assistant of the late MP, Muhammed Ssegirinya. The one coming third in the internal nominations to become the successor of Mr. Update from within the National Unity Platform (NUP).
Luswa is reported to now run as an independent and under the wings of the Democratic Allianec of former Leader of Opposition, Mathias Mpuuga. That is done as a spiteful chant against the NUP. They are using Luswa as a competition and a voice against Bobi Wine. This is why they would do it.
Meanwhile, Luswa who wasn’t able to get traction and hit the marks within the NUP. We have seen what the NRM did and picked the daughter of a National Vice Chairperson Moses Kigongo, Hajjat Hanifah Karadi. The FDC picked a yellow candidate in a Sadat Mukiibi or Khalifah Aganaga. The NUP themselves picked the former Democratic Party (DP) counsel Erias Nalukoola Luyimbazi. We are seeing all sorts of actions and people fielding themselves for the best self-interest.
That is what Luswa is doing to now. He is just following the others. Because, if he stays in the NUP. He will be a stalwart and not get anywhere. That’s why his possibly jumping ship too. As he isn’t seen as viable or able to get ahead from within. This is where Mpuuga takes him under his wings and ensures his Democratic Alliance (DA) get some spotlight on it ahead of the 2026 elections.
The Kawempe North By-Election is for the NUP to loose. We are seeing the other parties are fielding their candidates. There no alliances or any sort of joint candidacy fielded at this point. Meaning it is a heavy contested seat. The NUP is expected to retain it and it should be an easy ride for them. Though we know the NRM will use their tricks and their might to rig the game. Therefore, never think it will be easy. As this is the show off ahead of the 2026 general election.
Mpuuga wants to look like a kingmaker and be the next in line for greatness in the opposition. He needs to look viable and that his DA is able to create a fuzz. They will be tested here and this is why it helps to the likes of Luswa. He is following the sympathy and picking someone who has been in the ear of Mr. Update. That’s why he does this… and can give him a shot of creating interest there.
The DA won’t win it, but they will make a mess. The DA will cause harm to the NUP and possibly weaken it by using a former ally of the late MP. That is a winning for Mpuuga. Also, possibly give some way to the NRM candidate. This is the ironic part of doing so. Not like the FDC has a chance either.
This is for Nalukoola to lose. He should make it happen and ensure a prolonged NUP reign here. However, we are seeing the play here and it’s obvious. They are here to weaken the NUP and whatever it is doing. NUP could also have picked a more regarded internal candidate, but the EMC has their reasons for doing this.
Let’s see how this one is played out. Regardless, this is what happens when you play these sorts of games. Peace.

“National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula has declared Kenya Kwanza as the majority party with 165 MPs. This decision comes despite a recent High Court ruling that invalidated his earlier determination of Kenya Kwanza as the majority party” (MwanzoTV, 12.02.2025).
The ones believing that Speaker Moses Wetangula will resign from his post is naïve. He has gotten a deal with President Ruto and is serving his interests in the National Assembly. The FORD Party leader won’t relent or move. No, this is his highest position and office. He won’t relieve himself and give way.
The ones believing the KKA and the regime to adhere to the courts are insane. We are seeing the erosion of the rule of law. We have seen the misuse of office and power for personal gains. That is the ideals and ethics of this regime. They are willing to kill, abduct and silence critics on a regular basis. The ones serving for Ruto and his henchmen are allowing it.
That the Azimio wants Wetangula to suffer. That isn’t anything new. Wetangula went from being an ally to become a man of Ruto. The speaker left Odinga and his allies after a CORD and NASA failure. He skated off and felt time was to go elsewhere. That paid off and he got a great office by doing so.
Wetangula won’t shed a tear. He isn’t worried or fearing for losing his day-job. Zakayo has his back. The President has an agreement with Wetangula, and they will act accordingly. Not like Wetangula has disregarded or been deceitful in any manner. This is why Ruto will shield Wetangula. There is nothing for Ruto or his allies to win over destroying Wetangula. That’s why we know this will just go away and they will find new scapegoats to take the heat.
Azimio might try and find measures to ensure the demise of Wetangula. Nevertheless, would the government business be stopped by doing this. This seems like an excuse for having leverage and getting a new deal. Just like Odinga got a handshake and part of the broad-based government, which ODM has cabinet secretaries in it. Therefore, don’t expect Wetangula to fall anytime soon.
Wetangula has the support and the shield of the Executive. The President will defend him and silence the critics. Right now the eyes will be on Odinga and Wetangula can act like nothing has changed.
The Speaker won’t fear for anything, there is no need for it either. The man is safe and shouldn’t be worried right now. Zakayo is on his side. Wetangula knows this and that’s why his steamrolling on. No one should expect the man to back down now. He is safe… and will get off the hook eventually. Peace.



“I am dedicated to advancing our economic agenda and working closely with H.E. to ensure South Sudan secures its rightful place in the region” – Vice President for Economic Cluster, Dr. Benjamin Bol Mel (12.02.2025).
It is really amazing that Dr. Benjamin Bol Mel, the in-law of the President Salva Kiir Mayardit is now sworn-in as a Vice President of the Republic of South Sudan. His now being ushered into the upper echelon of state and being prepared for a possible transition in the future. Though there is little to no trust that Kiir has any plans of ever relieving himself or having someone to be his successor.
With that in mind, the former Presidential Advisor and Envoy are now becoming an VP. A man who is sanctioned by the United States of America. This man has already been caught being corrupt and using his role as a way of enriching himself. That’s why he has at least two properties in Juba and one in Nairobi, Kenya.
The new VP has roles in four sanctioned companies, ABMC Thai-South Sudan Construction Company Limited (ABMC), Winners Construction Company Limited, HOME AND AWAY Ltd and ARC Resources Corporation ltd.
In addition to that, to ensure he got the ill-gotten gains he used alias to transfer transactions and funds between accounts. He has used phony names like “Ashraf Seed Ahmed Hussein Ali” and “Al-Cardinal”. There is also reports that he has used this alias too: “Kuol Akol Wieu”. These are all names on accounts and on paperwork to hide his ownership from companies, which has gotten government contracts and funding over the years.
We know now that President Kiir isn’t worried about his inner circle eating of the plate of the state. When he appoints and promotes the likes of Dr. Benjamin Bol Mel. A man who has no trouble to take profits for ill-gotten services on the behalf of the government. That is who is entrusted the second in command and being in close association with the President.
If there would be more corruption and grand corruption in the future. We shouldn’t be surprised why state funds would be siphoned and gone missing. He has been able to do so over the years and now he has become a higher-ranking official than before.
Time will tell, but it’s not long ago since 2017 when he was sanctioned by the U.S. and therefore, we can not avoid the fact and knowing what he has done in the past. The Sentry has investigated him and for a reason. Nevertheless, his familiarity and closeness to Kiir is more important than stealing some money, apparently. Peace.
