Bobi Wine blocked from performing, yet again!

In Jinja today, the Police has again shown their loyalty to their master, as they have blocked Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine from performing at the Fifth Annual Street Jam. This was bound to happen at the Queens Palace. The event was cleared by the Police before, but they didn’t care.

To top it all, the Police raided City Hotel where the artist and MP was supposed to stay. Also, where the Firebase or team of Bobi Wine was residing. They while they were trying to find his hideout. Clearly, the Police has a mission to stifle and make his life hard.

That the Police are working hard to torment the people of Bobi Wine is clear. As they are taken now, arrested and put into jeopardy. Bobi Wine is trying to make a living, while being an artist and the freedom of speech, the liberty to assemble and the freedom for all isn’t for all. It is a limited freedom and a limited liberty in the Republic. The proof has long been the stifling of all political activity for Besigye. Now the same is happening Bobi Wine. Finally, some more eyes are opened. As he is trying just to perform his craft.

This is the truth of the acts of oppression and dictatorship. An artist, a man who oppose the almighty, the one that orders everything from above. The acts of a President, that wants again to show his force, his might and what resources he posses. That anyone who is in his way has to pay.

However, that will be his legacy, even if he preaches peace and dialogue, the torture, the destruction of institutions and the lack of faith in the public. Is the reality of these actions. President Museveni has lost his ways, but he doesn’t know it. Because all the YES-MEN around praise his every fart and smell of poop.

That is just the reality and its sad. That the tyrant thinks he has the vision, but really looks at the world like a drunk sea-man. He is faring blindly, but have no clue.

Bobi Wine is a threat to the power-drunk man at the State House. This is not news, but we just have to repeat it. Peace.

Opinion: Museveni implicit saying that his the only one justified to rule!

they should better start dreaming of other alternatives” Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, 13.12.2018

When a President of 32 years says to the public to dream of other alternatives, because he is not retiring. Bosco are really something else. When he does this at a Summit where he is supposed to gratify the dialogue and negotiate with the Opposition. The man who has ruled for over three decades cannot retire. The man that is officially 74 years old

What is more important is that the mandatory retiring age for civil servants in the Republic is 60 years old. Saying that if that would imply the President are already overworked by 14 years, if the official age and birthday is true, which by this point is questionable because of the paper-trail left behind the President himself. The President by the precedence that state has done this to its civil workers, maybe he should have considered it himself.

Museveni speech at IPOD:

I hear people like Mao talking about transition, how they would like to sit in the audience and see Museveni handing over power. That is the most important thing for him. I do not think that is the most important and it is good he is saying that” (…) “So, the political class, instead of talking about the destiny of Africa, you are talking about petty things— elections, who becomes who. That is why I have said if I still have strength, I will continue” (…) “his is my point of view: not to retire when the original issues of why Africa nearly perished have not been addressed. And you are just addressing small things— elections. The ones you are electing, you elect them to do what exactly? (sic) That is what you should answer. I have no other interest in politics because I am a cattle keeper” (…) “they should better start dreaming of other alternatives” (Daily Monitor – ‘Don’t dream about my exit, Yoweri Museveni tell his rivals’ 14.12.2018, link: https://www.nation.co.ke/news/africa/Yoweri-Museveni-clings-on-power/1066-4895118-xbg64k/index.html).

It is insulting to his people, that the man of 32 years and 74 years old. Think he is the only one fit to rule. As he is not yet ready to have anyone to succeed him or a possible transition from his Bush-War mentality rule. That the President of 1986 until today. Thinks he has the only wisdom to carry the Republic.

Museveni was the new breed, that Bill Clinton and others looked up to in the early 1990s, but as time has gone by. The proof is that it was a new wine into old sacks. It wasn’t that new breed, it was new names, logos and programs, but not new actions. If he had been that new, he wouldn’t have fought for so long and had two referendums on Multi-Party Democracy. If he was that new, he wouldn’t put treason charges and torture fellow civilians who oppose him. If he was that new, he wouldn’t kill of enemies and use safe-houses to put people in. If Museveni was a new breed, the public wouldn’t be living under fear or if assembling by anyone else fearing their lives or for the loved ones. As his guards and his guns will hit you. That is who Museveni is.

That is why his words are dangerous, when he speaks of dreaming and alternatives. Does he want more people to the Bush to fight him? Does Uganda need another transition with guns and civil war? Just because one old man, thinks he is entitled to rule supreme until eternity?

Because, he is implying he is a cattle-keeper, but that is partly true. As the giant ranch is the people of Uganda and he is fencing them in. Since he is not leaving them and whipping them until they following his words. That is what he has done for decades and continues to do.

He knows he is not that popular, that is why he has gone from being the savior of the Republic to becoming the Pan-African Jesus. Museveni doesn’t just want to ensure his place in Uganda, but he wants to seal of the deals of the East African Community and the whole continent. He is taken the Gadaffi route. He wants to be the anointed king of Africa.

Yower or Yoseri are saying people needs to dream of alternatives, as he is not retiring at the advanced age he is.

It is 32 years and counting. He thinks he rule forever. That is his dream. That is why the long nightmare continues to the Republic. Since one man thinks he is entitled to rule.

The only man with vision, is now the ONLY MAN ALLOWED TO RULE. The rest of you deserves a nightmare, apparently living under his reign. Peace.

US: 4 US Senators letter to Secretary Pompeo on US-Uganda relations (13.12.2018)

Mzee asks after 12,002 days: “Be Patient With Me”(!!)

Don’t worry about anything. We shall tarmac the roads. You should also repent the sin of little faith. You are like disciples who became impatient with Jesus when they were crossing the lake. We have constructed Ishaka-Kagamba and many other roads. We shall not fail to work on this one. Be patient with me” (…) “Talk about education. In 1956, there were only six schools with primary seven in the whole of Ankole sub region but now, all sub counties in Sheema have secondary schools. Let’s be patient, all things will come” – Yoweri Kaguta Museveni (Zadock Amanyisa – ‘‘Be patient with me,’ Museveni tells Ugandans’ 06.12.2018, link: https://www.monitor.co.ug/News/National/-Be-patient-with-me—Museveni-tells-Ugandans/688334-4884084-4swpft/index.html).

There is something special about Mzee or Bosco, something rare, but not endearing. His a man who has run the Republic since 1986. The man behind the Movement and the one who has mirrored himself with the whole state and government itself.

President Yoweri have centralized all power around himself and has militarized the whole thing. That is why every moment he has, he praises the army and soldiers, but hates the civil servants. This is his M.O., this is what the President does best.

Now, with this mind, he is asking for patience, that the Ankole has to give the President time. Not like they haven’t given him any. Not like this after his first 100 days in office, not like it was first term in office either. His on his 7th Unofficial Term as a President, Officially 6th term… So he has had 32 years and soon 33 years. Therefore, the man has had the time to deliver, but has squandered it with foolishness and greed.

We all know that, because of the HISTORY that MUSEVENI has created. If he wanted to deliver, he would have, if he would had cared it would have happen. But apparently he has preferred special treatment and cronyism. Not development, not serve the public or even follow any of the fancy plans for the Republic.

Mzee, the time has ticked, the clock isn’t working. Museveni is not working like clockwork. As a President he should not ask for patience now. That gravy-train … has left the station, a long time ago.

When you have been the Executive, the President and the Almighty Ruler for over 30 YEARS. Should have achieved what was needed already, you should have had sufficient time to deliver and serve the public. Alas, that isn’t the case.

Asking for patience, asking for more time? How much more do you need?

You have had all the days since 26th January 1986, which by my calculation is 12,002 days since you took power or over 394 months, also as a total of 1714 weeks. If these numbers doesn’t say you had the time. How much more do you need?

12,002 days, 394 months or 1714 weeks(!!). President Museveni you have had the time, to ask for more is an insult. Not only to our common intelligence, but time itself. Your insulting everyone’s watches, when your asking for more time. Peace.

Besigye’s Criminal Record: Who will follow suit?

Arrested 1,023 times.

Incarcerated 217 times.

Indicted of 894 offenses.

Never convicted of any

Seemingly abandoned at the last minute.

The futility of trying to serve Ugandans.

(Chris Mwesigye Bishaka, 04.12.2018).

There is a cost fighting dictatorship, there is cost fighting a tyrant and military government, that is something someone like Dr. Kizza Besigye knows. He doesn’t just know, but he has meet the force, been house-arrested, been detained, been indicted and charged. Besigye have meet everything, seen any prison-cell and been in any kind of trial. Therefore, nothing is new to Besigye, he has been there and tried. He has taken the pain, the cost and torture, he has been mentally challenged and physical by the authorities. However, that haven’t stopped his attitude and will to continue the struggle.

This is a man who has battled the National Resistance Movement (NRM) ever since he left the party, ever since the cabinet and the government position. As one of them who rebelled against the Resistance Party. He rebelled against the NRM and President, who he considered to forget his place and his mission, as it became self-serving and self-interest, not being a government by and for the people.

That is why he has to pay the price of being arrested over a 1000 times, incarcerated 217 times and indicted for 814 offenses. If this isn’t seen as a massive number, than nothing is. What is more striking is that Besigye have achieved this by leaving the NRM by 1999.

That is only 19 years to be in legal trouble. By this rate he has been arrested 53 times each year. Incarcerated 11 times each year and indicted 47 times each year. If you don’t find this stats staggering. I don’t know what will.

What is more special, is that he isn’t a criminal or felon of petty crimes. He isn’t a pickpocket or a terrorist. Even if he has numbers that would seem so. He is just the arch-nemesis of the President. The man who has gotten into trouble, by being the total opposite of the President. That is why he has landed in so much legal trouble and the state has used all tools to suppress his voice and work. Therefore, expect more to come.

This is a proof of what extent the NRM regime and state does to one person. How much of the freedom, liberty and lack of justice there is.

Besigye is the proof of that. Just look at the numbers alone. They have been created by a margin of 19 years. That is surely some amazing stats. But also sad too, as this is one mans life and his cause. To rebel not only against a dictatorship, but also being a political operative in the midst of tyranny. Where people are even mocking for being detained and house-arrested, because it is so common.

They should understand it and swallow the idea. See the amount and wonder if this could happen to them. Sadly it could, but would they dare to stand beside Besigye in the fight? Would they? Or are they leaving him be in the fight against oppression?

Seemingly, the People Power are working for the same, hopefully Besigye and Bobi Wine can work together, dismantling this oppressive regime. Because all forces of hope needs to work together to reach the destination. But will they and are they ready for the cost?

Besigye has already paid the dividend for years, are other people ready to follow suit? Peace.

FYI: The Bobi Wine and Arua 33 Treason Case will continue indefinitely!

Since 15th August 2018 Arua By-Election there been in the works a Treason Charge against the Members of Parliament who participated in the campaign there. This has been the reality since the By-Election, where plenty of the MPs was held incommunicado and were tortured by the authorities. That is why today, the proof of how long the prolonged the case has been already.

We are now in the beginning of December. Today is the 3rd December 2018 and the Gulu Magistrate Court ajourned until 10th January 2018. This one started already after being put on bail on the 27th August 2018, that was nearly 13 days without proper justice or rule of law. As the MPs and the other connected to the campaign was in legal limbo. Therefore, today is another day of disgrace from the state.

That Robert Kyagulanyi Aka Bobi Wine, Gerald Karuhanga, Paul Mwiru, Kassiano Wadri and Francis Zaake are the MPs who are in trouble together with the other Arua 33, who deserves to be credited. As they are connected and linked into the Treason Charge case and possible violence against the Presidential Convoy. However, there are no case against the ones killing the driver of Bobi Wine, Yasin Kawuma. Who had deserved justice, as he was shot directly in the car of Bobi Wine. As the MPs and others was captured by the Presidential Guards or Military Officers in Arua.

Therefore, today is mockery of justice, as we know the story has changed by the President. The Arua Stone and all the supposed violence. Where the ones most hurt and obviously hit was the opposition. The same opposition who are lingering in court long after the By-Election. This is a sign of how the state takes care of its own and who has value. As the state didn’t take the loss of the Yellow MP Seat in Arua Muncipality, where Hon. Ibrahim Abiriga was from and he was assassinated on the 8th June 2018. Therefore, if it wasn’t for an unfortunate death, there wouldn’t be more hurt. The spiral of death didn’t stop. After that it has been torture and people have been damaged. Just because they stood up to the authorities. That is the truth.

With all this in mind, that the Police say they need more time to collect evidence is for stalling time. If this was true, then they wouldn’t have thrown away the gun-charges and the ammunition they “found” in the Hotel and put on Bobi Wine. Because everyone knew they were put there by the army, as it was monopolized arms and guns of the UPDF. That is why that one was taken away. The rest is only political game with the misuse of the courts to benefit the government. As a time shedding environment and ensuring it is harder for the opposition to do their political work.

This is far from the final time these people are summoned and has trials at the Gulu Magistrate Court. They will be called back, not only in January but all through out 2019. It might be pushed into 2020 or even 2021. Because the NRM and President Museveni usually gifts the long-lasting cases to Opposition leaders.

So, expect that in the case of Bobi Wine and Arua 33. They are all going to be in a treadmill of legal jeopardy. Peace.

Bobi Wine Blocked Again: Kyarenga Extra Concert in Gulu stopped!

Today, again the Uganda Police Force has blocked another Concert, which the Member of Parliament Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine from doing on the 2nd December 2018 in Gulu. This is not the first time he has been blocked. It is very common for the Police to block the opposition and their leaders.

This is just a long run of impunity… it is tradition and not surprised, especially considering the Trial Date for the Treason Charge and the Election Violence case on the 3rd December 2018 at the Gulu Magistrate Court tomorrow. Even if that wouldn’t happen, the Police would block it as it is troubling to see a figure of the stature of Bobi Wine come to town. They surely used the Public Order Management Act and to secure the public, but this was within one venue that was notified in the 4th November 2018 and suddenly closed off. The day that the concert was supposed to happen.

Bobi Wine’s statement:

So yet again, our concert in Gulu has been blocked by the police! We wrote to them three weeks ago informing them of the show and requested them for security. We compiled with all the laws and invested a lot of resources preparing for the show. Today, the police showed up at the venue cutting all banners and other advertising material without giving any explanation. Police patrol vehicles have been moving around Gulu town, removing all the banners and posters! The promoters have been trying to call all responsible officers, and all they say is that they have ‘orders from above’ not to let me perform. Dear brothers and sisters in Gulu, I was looking forward to having a good time with you tonight. Very soon it will be possible. I know that God willing, one day, we shall free ourselves from this mess and be able to enjoy ourselves in the new Uganda. In the meantime, we shall stop at nothing in challenging this kind of injustice and gross violation of rights. We shall communicate to the nation about our next step. Tomorrow we shall be at Gulu High Court at 9:00am, concerning the tramped up charges from the Arua incident” (Bobi Wine, 02.12.2018).

This side of story is sadly to common. If your someone who the authorities and the government sees as a threat. You will be under fire, struggle to do your business and operate as a political party or entity. The ones who are the opposition will be in trouble. As shown with plenty within the Democratic Party, Forum for Democratic Change and Independents. Right now, Bobi Wine is an arch-nemesis on the line of Dr. Kizza Besigye. The only thing missing right now is that Bobi Wine are getting house-arrested like him.

We are seeing, what we have seen before. This is currently the attitude of the police and the NRM regime. Who are attacking their rights to assemble and even stopping their livelihood. When concerning Bobi Wine, it is stopping his musical career and his concerts. He was able to pull of the album launch. Only when he fixed it on his own plot on One Love Beach. Before that, the authorities was blocking him and made change dates.

For Bobi Wine he is starting to feel it and that is showing what troubles that is ahead. They will not make it easy for him. The authorities will clearly make life hard for him. Bobi Wine are now one of the targets of the state. His People Power message is scaring the government and the President. It hits a nerve at a tired public of the 32 years and counting. They are not the automatically loyal subjects of the President or his Movement. Even if that is what the President wishes. Peace.

The letter notifying the authorities:

Police extend Hon Zaake’s summons to December 3, 2018 (21.11.2018)

Betty Nambooze Bakireke Statement on the House-Arrest of Nganda Ssemujju today (16.11.2018)

We are permanently under a twenty four surveillance by the regime…our homes are under watch day and night…We travel around the town with armed Bodabodas following us…Government spies followed me to hospital in India…those who follow us don’t do it for our security…. we are watched as enemies of the State….. in other words we are full time prisoners in this big brother’s house called Uganda.

So yesterday when I and Lord Mayor Lukwago visited Honourable Ssemujju for a colleagues meeting,the junta’s hitmen where watching….to them we can never meet to talk about anything else apart from plotting to overthrow their regime. So the fact that Hon.Ssemujju had a consultative meeting today and I and Lukwago were meeting him in the evening a day before was enough for them to tell that today we were to “overthrow the regime” through the Bweyogerere public meeting.

Deep in the night they intesfied surveillance on our homes …my guard told me that last night patrol vans kept a culculated distance from my home…In the night they deployed around Hon Ssemujju’s home breaking into the compound this morning,highly traumatizing his children and innocent wife. We are tired of living this life…I say we are tired,yes we are tired.
