Aye Aye Captain Kenyatta: So Miguna Miguna is still overboard?

Greedy guts and blistering barnacles, why is this still a thing? Captain Uhuru Kenyatta and First Mate William Ruto, why are we still doing this in 2020? Wasn’t it enough to deport Dr. Miguna Miguna twice in 2018 and also bar him from entering the Republic a few times.

Now, there is issues with Air France and Lufthansa. Now, Dr. Miguna Miguna is travelling across Europe like a lonely crusader with a microphone, social media and addressed directly at TV-Shows. Instead of being forgotten like Dr. Ekuru Aukot and other contenders. His relevant because of your buffoonery. You understand that right? Aye Aye Captain?

With the knowledge of what has happen over the last few days. It is just more hectic, the Immigration says his free to enter. The Government spokesperson says his asked for the passport. The others say his free to enter, but the airlines says his barred, because the doctor has a “red notice”. Therefore, the Miguna is going nowhere, but in the end has to end somewhere.

This is really devious to play like this with a citizen. Someone who not long ago was a candidate for the governor in Nairobi. Not like he was a random mango vendor, but even a random mango vendor would have gotten more care and sincere support from the government, than what Miguna has gotten of late.

This is just a continuation of the deportation and sending him to exile. As they claimed he was an Canadian. Not Kenyan, even if he was allowed to run. But as long as the Kenyans has an American as an official in Asia. To have a Canadian with dual citizen should be easy pickings. Or is it because he insults the leadership on a daily basis and is a loose-canon of expressions on social media, that he has to be a soul. Awaiting his next time to return home.

However, this story is foolish from the get-go. No matter what character traits Miguna has. As a citizen, he shouldn’t be left stranded in Europe. If he wants to go home. Especially in consideration of the countless victories in Court. Which the state refuses to honour and respect in his concern. Maybe, it hurts the pride of Uhuru and William. Maybe, even Raila has gotten enough dirt on his name.

But if they are bigger than little insults and little micro-aggressive comments online. Than, they can muffle him inside the Republic, even try top pay him off. It worked well with the ODM, as they got preoccupied with the BBI. Let say, Miguna becomes the candle-guy of Parliament or even light-bulb organizer at the State House. He will be preoccupied and not have time to spread his statements 24/7. But the state wouldn’t make up an position for him. The one who swore-in Odinga. No, they want him to suffer. Because, the handshake only mattered to Odinga and not to Miguna.

Well, this just show how fickle, how little you can trust the ideals, the courts of law and bureaucracy. They are just insulting all intelligence with this one. Miguna is might be a little trouble-maker, but his this Republic’s troublemaker. No deny in that.

If Kenyatta, Ruto and Odinga is smart, they would try to find ways to comprise him. Not make him a firebrand dude in exile. Which they continues to do. Therefore, adding more and more insults to the injury and making him even more vocal.

It is like they want this and like seeing this happening to him. Instead of fixing it. Doing whatever steps and just letting the man enter. They are stopping him. Crossing with ferries and ships across the sea into Tunisia. Soon he has to cross Sahara bear-foot with the Tuaregs into Sudan. Then walk side-by-side of the river Nile and pass into Juba. Before entering as a Forrest Gump into Kenya with nomads and cattle-keepers into Nadapal, Turkana district. This will take months, but hopefully when entering this way. They cannot stop him from entering.

Well, I doubt he would do this. That he would go this far. Use all means possible. But it just shows how bad things are and how your mind can play tricks on you. Whatever might happen, but most likely in a few days in Toronto, Ottawa or where-ever he resides in Canada. As he got to have temporary home there now.

Miguna Miguna is a tragic case. A case of deception and lack of alliances. Some is caused on his own, the others are people not following the laws and court orders. Therefore, letting him be left behind. Which they now have done since they deported in 2018. We are an 2020 and this still a thing.

What you say Captain Kenyatta, Aye? Aye to let him in again? Aye, Aye Aye Captain? Peace.

A Bridge too far: Bobi Wine dropped off at Karuma Bridge!

After yet another hectic day, as the police force arrested Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine. As he attempted for the third time to hold his consultation meetings. This time it was in Lira, but the RDC and the Police Force didn’t allow him. Instead, they blocked the venue, tear-gassed Lira and used live-bullet too. While whisking away the MPs and Bobi Wine.

Therefore, for most of the day. We had no idea where Bobi Wine nor his comrades was at. Finally as the day closes and its been long. His been dropped at Karuma bridge, which is on the end of Murchinson Falls National Park and close to the Bobi-Masindi road or the Kampala-Gulu Highway. So, as a landing site for him to go back to Magere and Wakiso its golden one. However, this is not the way he wanted to return.

As of today, his been blocked in Wakiso district and Kasangati. His been blocked in Gulu and in Lira. Also, tomorrows consultation meeting in Adjumani has been blocked, as the venue has been intimidated and has denied Bobi Wine entry just like they did in Gulu the other day. Therefore, the events unfolding shows a pattern. As in three days his been arrested twice by the Police. By trying to facilitate and plan his own campaign for 2021. Which is practically impossible, even as he follows the guidelines and the codes.

It is ironic and sad, that his summoned to the Electoral Commission tomorrow, as his fourth attempt of consultation meetings is thwarted. It is like they are doing it all on purpose. There is always something wrong, the air is to tight, the flexing of MPs and the red berets are not correctly put on their heads. They got dress smart, look like gentlemen before entering a town and village. The police are saying they are savages and unkind people. At least that is how they are acting towards them. Like the People Power and associates are hoodlums and gangsters peddling crystal meth and heroine. When all they are trying to do is talk and meet. Exercising their rights to plan their campaign. Which is Tom Cruise’s Mission Impossible franchise on steroids.

I’m sure at this point, the only way he can get into a venue to hold consultation meetings is being an action hero. Jumping directly from helicopters through the windows and barricades. Be a little bit of John Rambo, John McClane, Stacker Pentecost, John Shaft, Mace Windu and Chev Chelios. He got to be adventurous and show his flair. Poke the dragons and bite at the tigers. Because, it is not like they letting him enter into the front-door of any house of God or Hotel at this point. They are making places into war-zones and silencing the owners. Which the “Team Robert Kyagulanyi for 2021” have booked time and place for him.

That is why, the cowardice and the lack of rule of law in his concern is striking. Bobi Wine isn’t alone, his not the first, but the orders are clear as day. The actions of all public officers and police is evidently, make it impossible and stop his politicking. His not allowed, he doesn’t have the visa nor the blessing from “high above”. Bobi Wine hasn’t the powers of the anointed ones and neither their backing too. Because, his the stark contrast to the State House and the NRM. That is why they block him and detain him.

Even as of today, they used most of the day wasting time. Instead of having a certain plan of the drive and such. They used all day driving from one place to another and suddenly dropping off without any knowledge of the media and such at Karuma Bridge. Which by some calculations, if driven straight with no traffic is about 1 hour 15 minutes to reach from Lira. We know, that they took other routes than that. Since, Bobi Wine and associates was gone for hours. Who know what they could have done and such.

But this is the third day was useful for one single thing. It exposed again, the truth about the “democratic values” of the NRM and Museveni. Peace.

Bobi Wine, the Enemy of State: 3rd Day of Consultations and whisked away from Lira to unknown destination

Today, the People Power Movement and Bobi Wine with associates was supposed to hold an Consultation meeting in Lira. However, the RDC and the whole brigade of the state was adamant that wouldn’t happen on their watch. Nevertheless, the MP and his colleges showed up and was prepared to hold their “first” consultation.

That was not happening, as the venue was sealed off, the RDC of Lira had already ordered it to not happen and the Police Force was in town. Where they intercepted Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine and others. They used live-bullets and tear-gas to disperse the crowds in the streets.

We know that other than the arrest of Bobi Wine, Mathias Mpuga, Francis Zaake and Muwanga Kivumbi has all been forced out from their cars and instantly arrested by the Police. Also, the People Power spokesperson Joel Ssenyonyi have been arrested. Where they are now on a journey in detention to an unknown location. Who knows where this is going and how long this arrest will last.

This is one of the “pre-emptive arrests” and where the Penal Code comes in-handy for the Police Force. You could think on the third day, that the authorities would let-go and give-way. However, they are pushing up the ante, yet again.

This is the second time in a short while, where Bobi Wine MP have been arrested. Now with other associates than in the past, but both mentioned are MPs respectfully. So, its not like they are some random people catched by the Police. There is a media-blackout, as there was no one to monitor or able to follow the officers and it happen in a remote part of Lira, apparently.

What we do see, yet again is what the state does and how it appear ruthless in concern to the People Power and Bobi Wine. There is no mercy, no opportunity to even meet and greet. As the state is armed to their teeth and using their authority to arrest and detain the leadership at minute. Who knows why it didn’t happen in Gulu yesterday, but maybe the People Power wanted to take it slow after the arrested in Kasangati the day before.

We are just seeing an endless repetition of impunity and misuse of the law in favour of the state and use the law as a tool to oppress. The police isn’t there safeguarding the public, they are there to silence the critics of the state. Nothing else. They will use any excuse about the venue, about the paperwork and every code they can imagine. However, this sort of thing would never ever happen to loyalists or people regarded by the government. They can walk on water, while the People Power have to run through fire.

This isn’t an joke, but an continuation of what has happen in the past. The tools of silencing the opposition in favour of the President and his comrades. The rest got to listen and abide, while he can do his thing. The rest either have to bow their knees or suffer. Now, we see the ones suffering for standing up against the old man with the hat. It costs, second day of arrests, tear-gas and live-bullets. Last time in Kasangati, now in Lira.

Who knows where next, but this shows the lack of heart from this government. Which isn’t surprising, since it got none. Peace.

Sudan: Intercommunal clashes displace tens of thousands in volatile Darfur region (08.01.2020)

Around 40,000 have been displaced in Sudan’s West Darfur State in recent days, following intercommunal clashes, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said on Tuesday, citing Sudanese Government data.

NEW YORK, United States of America, January 8, 2020 – “Violence between communities in and around El Geneina, the capital of West Darfur State, had reportedly killed at least 54 people, injured 60 and displaced 40,000, since 28 December”, OCHA Spokesperson Jens Laerke told reporters in Geneva, adding that humanitarian partners were working to verify the displacement figures.There have also been reports of attacks on camps for internally displaced people, and homes being burned. Humanitarian partners are closely monitoring the situation and gathering information on needs to respond as soon as the security situation allows.

During the Darfur conflict between the Government, their militiamen allies and rebel groups, which began in 2003, the UN estimated that around 300,000 were killed, and around 2.7 million forced from their homes. Former president al-Bashir was indicted for war crimes including genocide, nine years ago.

“Thousands of people had crossed the border into Chad seeking refuge in villages near the border”, Mr. Laerke said, adding that the displaced within West Darfur had taken refuge in schools and government buildings, while the UN and partners were supporting the government response and that of national partners.

Close to 4,000 flee into Chad: UNHCR

For his part, Andrej Mahecic, spokesperson for the UN refugee agency (UNHCR), added that UNHCR teams had identified at least 3,700 people, including more than 2,000 women and 500 children under-five, who had crossed the border between West Darfur and Chad.

“The conditions were dire, and most refugees were staying out in the open; food and water were urgently needed”, he explained.

According to OCHA, shelter, food, water, health services and non-food items are the most urgent priorities.

Amid security concerns, the African Union-UN Hybrid Operation in Darfur (UNAMID) has helped to relocate 32 aid workers to Zalingei, Central Darfur.

“The situation in the affected area was currently calm and seemed to be stabilizing”, concluded the OCHA spokesperson.
