Time is a wasting and time is really infinite.
What General Yoweri Kaguta Museveni wants is what he gets… The master demands and cronies cooks it up. The President and Commander-in-Chief wants courts and trials he directly controls or can order around. The General Court Martial (GCM) is an instrument that His Excellency wants and needs to oppress or silent dissent. Therefore, his changing laws to make the possible.
The President and the State House wants civilians and citizens to become subjects under Military Law. They want to try civilians in the GCM. That’s the plan and it’s not even concealed. The amendment of the UPDF Act is to codify and legalise the misuse of military court and law in regards to citizens. That’s the message… and it is obvious.
We knew this was coming. The President has to hold people captive and detain the ones who dares to challenge the current rulers of the Republic. They have to make up charges and keep them on remand in the GCM for prolonged time. That’s what the UPDF Act wants to do and a way to keep people behind bars without due process or proper trials. Where the state doesn’t have to produce evidence, witnesses or even proof of the criminal conspiracy, which the civilian is charged with. They are kept incarcerated without sentencing and that’s what the state wants. As they know they cannot do this in ordinary courts or keep the charade going there forever. Therefore, the GCM works well for them and for a reason.
This is who the President is and what sort of leader he has become. He doesn’t trust anyone or anyone who dares to challenge him. That’s why he needs the GCM and the ability to try civilians under military law. This is what he wants and the 11th Parliament will fulfil that void for him.
Citizens are sooner or later returning in bracelets in the GCM. That’s what Museveni want, and what Museveni wants, he gets sooner or later. Peace.






“Don’t kill me, I am Member of Parliament” – Jean Baptiste Sindayigaya MP (10.05.2025)
“The attack occurred around 7:30 p.m. near the Gare du Nord station, in the Kamenge area. The MP was traveling in an official vehicle with a driver when he was stopped by an unmarked car with no visible license plates and tinted windows. Four armed men in civilian clothes, one of whom was carrying a Kalashnikov, immediately stormed the vehicle” (…) “According to witnesses, the assailants attacked the MP without warning, violently hitting him in the face, ribs, and with the butt of their gun. The attack was so brutal that it caused him to lose an eye” (King Umurundi Freedom, 11.05.2025).
Just imagine that a Member of Parliament, an elected official and a high ranking official is getting nearly kidnapped in Bujumbura. The assailants beats him up, pierce one of his eye, takes 500,000 FBU and also takes his phone. Some claims this was police officers doing it and others say it was SNR(State Intelligence Service) agents. However we don’t know and the authorities would never release it either.
This an MP elected from the Kirundo Province who was nearly kidnapped and attacked on Saturday 10th May 2025. It shows how the security and the state operates, as a person of this rank and status was touched. That’s why this is telling about the state of affairs.
There are reports that the MP contacted the Prime Minister, but he couldn’t help him and said he should inform the Minister of Interior. If not the MP should take this to the Parliament. Therefore, it shows how CNDD-FDD runs the nation.
If this happens to a man of this stature. Then imagine when the SNR or unmarked vehicles apprehend civilians. They are really getting the treatment and we don’t know what will happen to them. This is a cautionary tale, but also one that shows what the state is willing to do.
Just think about it – an MP is asking to not be killed. That happened during the weekend and this story should be amplified. This injustice needs to be told about, because it shows what they willing to do. No one is untouchable and even people who are elected to Parliament can be touched. Peace.
