Election Petition No. 1. of 2016 : “1st Respondent’s answer to the Petition” (06.03.2016):
Paragraph 9:
“1st respondents denies using derogatory and reckless language as threating to arrest the Petitioner and Kizza Besigye as alleged. What he stated using a Runyankore saying was that anybody who causes violence would face the full force of the law. His reference to touching “the anus of the leopard” was figurative to illustrate the recklessness of anybody breaking the law”.

Clip 3:
Well, what he says above after the Ntungamo clashes was not an illustration, but what he initially did with the help of the Police Force and he continues to detain and arrest opposition since they undress the violence of the NRM.
If this is not using reckless language then I don’t know! How can it not be reckless of saying that you want to smash the opposition? Peace.
“Staff at the NRM secretariat have called for the intervention of president Museveni over the conduct of their secretary general Justine Kasule Lumumba. In the petition addressed directly to the president, they highlighted twelve issues, detailing the incompetence of honorable kasule lumumba. These included inaccessibility, selective payment of salaries, discrimination of the staff at the nrm electoral commission, and lack of accountability, among others” (WBS TV, 2016)

7639th Meeting (AM)
Security Council – Meeting Coverage:
Determining that the situation in South Sudan remained a threat to regional peace and security, the Security Council today renewed until 15 April sanctions — including a travel ban and asset freeze — imposed by resolution 2206 (2015) and directed at those blocking peace in the country.
Unanimously adopting resolution 2271 (2016) under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter, the Council also decided to extend until 15 May the mandate of the Panel of Experts overseeing the sanctions, with the intention of reviewing the mandate and deciding, no later than 15 April, on its further renewal.

Speaking after adoption of the resolution, Petr V. Iliichev (Russian Federation) said its technical character was a reflection of the lack of unity on the Council regarding the sanctions regime. At the same time, the text emphasized the importance of resolving the armed conflict in South Sudan. Responsibility for normalizing the situation in the country rested mainly with the South Sudanese. They needed time and support. Excessive sanctions ran the risk of complicating the situation and hardening the positions of the parties to the conflict. The 15-member body needed to be careful.
David Pressman (United States) said that, while the Council supported the people of South Sudan, the country still had a long way to go. The Council, which had repeatedly shown a willingness to use targeted sanctions to put pressure on spoilers, needed to work together so as to send the correct signals to the leaders of South Sudan. New proposals would be considered to stabilize the situation on the ground, stem the flow of arms and encourage compromise. It was a delicate moment in the peace process, but also a critical moment. Parties to the conflict had to show progress on implementing the peace agreement. They were urged to demonstrate, in the coming weeks, a commitment to a peaceful and prosperous future through concrete actions.
The meeting began at 11:31 a.m. and ended at 11:40 a.m.

“The African Union will send 100 human rights monitors and 100 military monitors to Burundi as the tiny nation faces its worst political crisis since a civil war ended a decade ago. Vincent Makori talks to Carine Kaneza a member of the Burundi Women and Girl’s Movement for Peace and Security and a transitional justice practitioner” (TV2 Africa, 2016)


VIDEO: Mugisha Muntu says “Justice is a bed rock of peace. In any situation where you see calmness on the surface if there is no justice, that peace is simply a facade. Generals shooting each other in an election is not an indicator of peace” says Muntu (NBS TV Uganda, 02.03.2016).
“Norman Tumuhimbise one of the leaders of the political pressure group Jobless Brotherhood has been taken into Police custody following yesterday’s incident at State House Nakasero when a Piglet was dropped in protest at the Electoral Commission’s handling of Feb. 18th Presidential and Parliamentary Elections. Tumuhimbise was picked up from his home Kasubi today morning by security operatives. His wife who preferred that we protect her identify spoke to Reporters who arrived shortly after her husband had been bundled into a car and whisked away” (WBS TV, 02.03.2016).

“Remmy Bahati, the second NBS journalist who was arrested while reporting live outside Kizza Besigye’s residence, spoke to the Morning Breeze crew on her experience with the police after her arrest. A traumatic experience but a highlight in her career” (NBS TV Uganda, 02.03.2016).
My thoughts:
It is hard to listen to her and hear what she went through in the car. Remmy Bahati and what they did in the car was sad to hear. The issue is also about Press Freedom and that Andrew Felix Kaweesi telling at Kasangati Police Station to not tell the Dr. Kizza Besigye or following what happens around his home there. That says how much they are trying to stop media and the press to be around Dr. Kizza Besigye. She had an appointment to get there, but she was not allowed in. She questioned that Andrew Mwenda could enter yesterday without an appoinment, but not her! The irony! It was DPC Kasangati who ordered the arrest of her yesterday, DPC James Kawalya!
I feel sorry about Remmy Bahati and I am glad she is telling the story of how the Police have harassed her and without charges. This here will always torment the regime that are now. Because the issue of not caring about the journalists or about the justice. Here is the example for inciting fear and unjustifying their actions towards her. This here is just sad that the Government of Uganda and that the Police of Uganda did. Peace.
