The Bad Man from Kamwokya is shocking the Movement

It is about that time. Everything is pinning this way. Just like things was pinning in the right directions with Dr. Paul Ssemogerere in 1996 and Dr. Kizza Besigye in 2011 or in 2016. These two seemed to be on rise and have the power to finesse the political game of the Republic. To ensure the system got cracked enough so that the President and his National Resistance Movement (NRM) would lose the elections. However, the extensive rigging and control of all authorities ensured that the President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni never let go. The same will happen in 2021.

However, there is a difference. A new generation is entering the battle of peaceful transition. It isn’t the NRA Historicals who are on the battlefield or going for the polls. No, its the sons and daughters of the ghettos, the youths and the marginalized in society. Finally has the spirit and have leaders to look up too. Not only the Presidential Candidate of the National Unity Platform (NUP) Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu aka Bobi Wine, but others who are fielded for his party too. It is the party of elites or status-quo. It is for change.

Besigye has been close and have amplified the masses. The man is an inspiration and shown how to galvanize his position. In such a manner that Bobi Wine is following that. Bobi Wine is using the knowledge and the some of the tricks of Besigye. That is just a mere fact. It is not an insult to Besigye, but honouring him. As Bobi Wine follows the same struggle and acts to defeat the regime.

The NRM have worked tirelessly to undermine the NUP and Bobi Wine. Not only arresting him and stifling him every step of the way. They have said his just a musician, the Generals saying he could never lead the army and so fourth. The Courts have piled cases on him. The army and police is monitoring his every move and making it hard for him to actually campaign. The NUP candidates and activists are arrested at night. They are taken away and without warrants ahead of rallies and just to intimidate the party.

Therefore, the NRM knows all of this. They are systemically working to distress and discontinue the campaign of Bobi Wine. The state and the authorities are working so closely that they only show their true heart. It is to silence and stop Bobi Wine.

The old man with the hat wants the Bad Man from Kamwokya to move-on. The President wants the NUP to give up and give way. They are blocking roads and arresting people associated with the party. The NRM thinks this method will hold water, but it only implicates the impunity and the lack of democratic credentials with the regime. If it was truly democratic, the NUP and others shouldn’t have trouble to party work and mobilize the masses during campaigns. Alas, that is the case… and what they do with such manner that anyone shouldn’t be shocked.

Bobi Wine is challenging the President and his cronies in manner they are not used too. He speaks and acts in ways, which isn’t a typical of a politician. That is why his a man of the people. A man voicing their concerns and what the regime isn’t offering. The tiredness and prolonged stalemate, which is only hurting the state of affairs.

Bobi Wine won’t get there easily. He knows that and he has already paid a huge price challenging the Presidency. There will more pain and suffering. As the state doesn’t intend to make it happen or give anyone else the mantle. There is no plan of peaceful transition of power. This is election is just an rubber-stamp exercise for the President to continue his reign.

The President knows and the Bad Man from Kamwokya knows this. The whole population knows this as well. It is a repetition of the same old story. However, Bobi Wine is still stirring up more energy and will. That might be a turning point. Because, the ballots will be rigged, the system is rigged and nothing on the horizon says otherwise. However, we don’t know how the public will react to be taken for granted again. If it will be more riots, demonstrations and other means of defiance against the state. Nevertheless, that is just mere speculation into the future.

What we do know today is that Bobi Wine has shocked the system. The man continues and as long he continues his mission. He will cause trouble and havoc. Because, the state will not answer with peaceful means, but with force. The only way they know how. Peace.

One Republic for Museveni and another for his opponents…

It is evident for every single day. That the Republic isn’t the same for the opposition in comparison to the National Resistance Movement (NRM). It is two separate entities, as the rules are not the same for one party versus the others. That is really proven by the actions made by the state in recent days.

A few times now, a Presidential Candidate, I don’t take seriously, but the state does. Lt. Gen. Henry Tumukunde has been blocked from campaigning several of places. The local authorities have blocked him.

Also, a lot of tear-gas and blocking of rallies towards Patrick Oboi Amuriat. The Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) Presidential Candidate is also seeing the blunt force of the authorities. They are coming with weapons, tear-gas and using all tools to stop the campaign of the FDC front-runner.

They you have Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine, the National Unity Platform (NUP). The Presidential Candidate who are always under fire. Bobi Wine cannot do anything without being followed by both Police and army. The police has already arrested him and he spent two days in jail for trying to campaign. His Presidential Advance Team was arrested yesterday. Several of the Aspirants for MP has been behind bars in the recent days too. Therefore, know that the NUP and Bobi Wine is challenged at every single move.

So, today’s tear-gas and blocking Bobi Wine from accessing a town isn’t new. However, it shows how the state operates. Because, the state and the ones aligned with the President can breach the COVID-19 regulations, they hold processions and have giant rallies in their campaigns. As long as your Yellow. The sickness and COVID-19 doesn’t affect the politics. Nevertheless, it is easily spreading when the Opposition candidates shows up. Then its a danger and read-all-about-it.

Not like the President and his candidates isn’t breaching it. They will claim they have smaller rallies for the photo-ops of the H.E. Nevertheless we are seeing the pictures of Bebe Cool and others waving on the roadside with several of people. Far reaching the levels of appreciated crowds for the opposition.

That is why there is one Republic for the NRM and the President. Where certain rules and regulations doesn’t matter. It hasn’t any consequences…

Still, the same laws and regulations are applied totally differently for Bobi Wine and the rest of the Opposition. These are living in a different Republic…

It cannot be the same place or with the same rules. As it isn’t applied in the same manner. It got to be the same place. If it was, why do they at all crazy and violent when the opposition shows up? But is all at ease on the crowds with the NRM?

This is why it cannot be the same place, the same Republic and with the same government. It cannot be and it shouldn’t be. One is Uganda and the Wakanda. The NRM cannot defend this and it is impunity. It is injustice and unfair. However, that is what the NRM does and we know it is the same place. Even if it shouldn’t be. These two actions under the same regime shouldn’t be possible, but it is. Since, the army and police is only honouring the President and not the general public. Peace.

Uganda People’s Defence Force (UPDF) – DSP Media Brief (20.11.2020)

Bobi Wine is on bail: Thou his not yet free

I’m not here because I committed a crime. I’m here because I offered myself to lead Ugandans into ending 35 years of dictatorship” Robert Kyagulanyi in trial at Iganga Magistrate Court (20.11.2020)

Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu aka Bobi Wine is now on a non-cash bail after the arrest in Luuka district on the 18th November 2020. After 48 hours he was taken to court and is now officially charged by the authorities. This is as scheduled and has been done to opposition leaders plenty of times. Especially, the ones that gains popularity and recognition beyond what the President is ever getting.

Bobi Wine is a man that hits a nerve with the President and his men. His a man who has the ability to strike a cord with the youth, the unemployed and beyond the ghettos of Kampala and Wakiso district. This man is feared by them and this is why they are punishing him everytime they can.

That is why he was after 2 days detained at Nalufenya Police Station. He was sent to Iganga Magistrate Court to be charged and released on this bail. This means the case will linger and be used when the authorities needs it. Just like old cases has haunted other opposition leaders in the midsts of campaigns. While the state never release any evidence or affidavits to fit the charges. They are still prolonging the cases indefinitely. It is like they never end. As long as they have gotten touched by the state. It will follow you no matter where you go.

The Uganda Police Force will be on his tail. Whatever units they have will follow him. The Internal Security Organization (ISO) will monitor him. The Special Force Command (SFC) will be after him too. Everyone will try to pin something on him. The Regional Police Commanders and Residential District Commanders will also make life hard for Bobi Wine and the National Unity Platform.

That is why Police Spokesperson Fred Enaga is coming out with a Press Statement and a Presser too. Where he shows evidence and calls the NUP to action for the riots and demonstrations. While not taking any accountability for having men shooting at civilians and issuing tear-gas at any given moment. The authorities never does anything wrong, but always the opposition. They will never look into the reasons for why the official death-toll of 37. While it wouldn’t be shocking to speculate that the actual numbers are much worse. Because, there is some who isn’t considered and some whose never reported. However, the state would never ever take credit or see this. They want the numbers to be as low as possible, instead of dropping the actual truth.

This is why we know Bobi Wine isn’t free, neither are his associates or anyone else around him. They are a criminal enterprise in the eyes of the state and all their institution. They have targeted the NUP and everything associated with it since the inception and beginning of it. This is why people have been arrested for wearing berets, red-clothes and merchandise from the party. The police have crack-down and raided the offices of the party.

The recent action is just amping it up and showing violent force against it. Bobi Wine will not be free. Neither will the ones around him. They are in the aim of the state and it is ruthless. It isn’t free or fair, it is injustice and impunity. However, that is what they subscribe too.

We could wish and be more hopeful. However, his just on bail. They will arrest him again. They will use force and arbitrary arrest him. Bobi Wine will get into jeopardy and pay a hefty price. The ones supporting him. Will be degraded to hoodlums and hooligans. The state will give retribution, because the correct line is only to have one master and that is Museveni. Peace.
