African Centre for Media Excellence Condemns Attacks on Journalists (20.08.2018)





President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni are on the verge of mental headbanging the youth, the people and everyone who is loyal to him. The Arua By-Election and the days after have shown the state violence and stay bullets hitting anyone from Parliamentary Guard in Kampala to Football Fans in Mityana. Therefore, it is a bit rich, that he continues blaming the unarmed civilians, while his army and his security organizations are shooting and killing people.
President Museveni are showing his ignorance and lack of understanding. He cannot run away from the reality, which he cannot propaganda this and win. That time has left the building since he abolished the term limits. Now he continues blaming anyone else. This time not explaining the health of Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine, but says it was a group who planned to terrorize Arua. If that wasn’t the Special Force Command who shot people and not the people of the Opposition? That isn’t something the President can now cover up. He can try, but we will not forget that.
Part I:
“The problem in Arua was caused by Bobi Wine’s group together with Kassiano Wadri, who attacked me, a useless action because I am protected and I can defend myself. The more serious issue is these chronically indisciplined people attacking women and children, destroying people’s property etc. Who is Bobi Wine or anybody to beat our people and for what? Watch the videos of Jinja and Bugiri, which are attached to this post. Should that happen in Uganda and why? If the Army had not intervened in Arua, a lot of people would have been killed by this Bobi Wine group. They had gathered stones, knives and there were reports of even guns. Why is it that we have never heard of any incident where the NRM supporters have ever attacked the Opposition supporters? Do you remember how the Bobi Wines were attacking the other MPs in Parliament? Are we to allow them to attack the Wanainchi in similar ways? How about assaulting soldiers or policemen? Do you remember the policeman, Ariong, who died from a stone throw? The security forces should be commended for saving mass deaths in spite of the fact that many of them were not equipped for anti-riot” (Museveni, 2018).
I look forward seeing the old man with the hat going into the streets and against the riots. Standing there and taking charge. Since, he seems more entitled to some of his estates. Than actually protecting and defending himself. He thinks he is Napoleon Bonapart, but he gotten into exile. Maybe, that is time for this old man too. As his ghost-stories and weird stories doesn’t make sense. As the supposed healthy Bobi Wine are able to rattle these people, while his car was perfectly damaged in Arua and driving the next in Kampala. Should commend people for shooting live rounds at unarmed civilians? What sort of mad-man does that? That is only someone who doesn’t value other people’s life you like you.
Part II:
“His mistake may be to organize and participate in such a violent procession and to import illegal voters. The court will decide according to the evidence. Stop supporting impunity, stop supporting election cheating, stop supporting violence whatever side you are on. As already said above, I am investigating the circumstances of the driver of Bobi Wine who died. Five people were also reported in hospital with gun- wounds. We shall get the circumstances of those cases. In certain circumstances, the Police can use live bullets if they are not equipped with anti-riot equipment and the rioters are on the verge of killing innocent people. That is also possible. The question is: “Why do you riot? Why not use legitimate and peaceful ways of expressing your opinion?” When they stoned my car, what was the reason? If they could be so reckless to attack me, how would they spare the poor Wanainchi? Good enough, my protection force did not respond immediately. They delivered me to the helicopter and went back to rescue the Wanainchi, which they generally did in spite of the circumstances. That is why no local mwanainchi was killed by the hooligans. They did not have enough time to do the damage they intended” (Museveni, 2018).
Why are you claiming a violent procession was appearing now, when there was no reporting by the fake media doing so? When there was no official violence or any sort of ill activity until the Presidential Guards hit the scene and blasted fire against the ones you saw fit? What about Mr. President? Do you see how your malice and ignorance for facts are going?
Like when have you cared for the ones killed of the opposition or rallies in general. We still have no real answer for what happen to Andrew Kayiira? When will that be delivered. Not like you care for the opposition or the wannachi, unless, they are useful pawns for donor aid or for fixing the polls. The rest of the time, they linger like old stenching fish. You can make up stories, but that doesn’t make sense.
Part III:
“To destroy property by throwing stones is not acceptable. To disenfranchise Ugandans by importing illegal voters from other areas is tantamount to treason because it overthrows the power of the people in the given area to elect their leaders. If you do not see these as problems, then you are a fascist. The Security forces must be commended because they saved mass deaths by dispersing these misguided people without using rifle fire, considering the fact that many of them were not equipped for anti- riot duties notwithstanding” (Museveni, 2018).
In the fight for justice against the injustice of Museveni, we are called pseudo-intellectual, terrorist and now also fascist. This for accepting throwing stones. However, I am not for violence of any kind. Especially not manufactured nonsense his PR Team has made. While the real violence from his authorities and his security organizations are killing and destroying people’s lives. His orders and the ones in his militarism is the ones that prolonging the tyranny in the Republic.
So, maybe take more responsibility for the pains you have caused to Bobi Wine, all of the others MPs and the families of the ones hurt in the recent days. Because, your blaming everyone else. It is tiring and without mercy. Peace.

Yoweri Kaguta Museveni – ‘Facebook Post on Arua on the 20th August 2018”, 20.08.2018






“If you know, you know” – Pusha T.
“Greetings. Some days have gone by while what President Trump calls “fake news” generators, especially the Monitor and their TV, the NTV, have been putting it out that our grandson, the indisciplined Bobi Wine, is gravelly ill, he cannot talk etc. They were putting it out that because of their “rough” handling of the MPs while arresting them, the Security forces could have done grievous damage to Bobi Wine. I decided to check with Army doctors because, being a disciplined Army, UPDF doctors always take precautions in such situations. Bobi Wine had already been seen by doctors in Arua, Gulu and Kampala. He has no head or chest injuries or bone fractures, they informed me” (Museveni, 2018).
Why are you lying Mr. President, when his own lawyers letter on the 18th August 2017 have stated together with the Uganda Human Rights Commission. That Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine have a damaged kidney, he is suffering from internal bleeding, he has pain in his hips and head, as his detention is at the Makindye Military Barracks, where they don’t have dialysis or the X-Ray to look into the illnesses of Bobi Wine. Why are you lying today? What are trying to do? What is your goal with this?
“The biggest problem is political leaders like Kassiano Wadri and Bobi Wine forming, or allowing indisciplined groups to be formed under the cover of elections, groups that form illegal processions in built-up and heavily populated areas, carrying stones, up-rooting side walk pavers to use as missiles, to attack defenceless women, children and other civilians” (Museveni, 2018).
All the clips of tape and following of the Presidential Convoy shows nothing of what you speak off. There was no violence, until the Special Force Command or the Presidential Guards starting to blaze up Arua. As the vile attempt of cover-up continues and you continue to blame the citizens. Not looking into the own guards. Which you defended in the last go-around, that they only resorted to live bullets. Because you they didn’t have anything else. What is wrong with you?
Do you know that people we’re shot today too in Mityana, or the ones hurt in the riots in Kampala in the last few days? Even, do you even care to mention the dead driver of Bobi Wine, which you never even seem to declare anything about. How dare you make up stories yourself! Do you even care about these citizens at all?
“Anybody who is a friend of the young politicians like Bobi Wine should advise them that short cuts like cheating, importing voters, intimidating the voters of the other side, ballot stuffing etc will lead them and Uganda to doom. That is what the young politicians of independence thought and did and it led to disaster” (Museveni, 2018).
Why more lies and deception, as you know very well of your making? You are the king-pin of rigged elections. Kiggundu math is a thing because of you, Mr. President. You always counter-claim with similar efforts when you are losing. Because they didn’t follow your guidelines. Mr. President, you are leading the nation to disaster, you are killing the youth and the generations surrounding it. The Police are acting as goons, the Special Force Command means to the polls and changes of laws in Parliament, than even the lawmakers. That shows your intent. With texts like the one you dropped today.
You show, that your reckless, relentless and have no heart for your Republic. I’ll be illdisciplined and be one of the friends of doom. Since what you are serving is collective punishment and injustice at epic proportions. I’ll be a pseudo-intellectual as long as I never represents or supports you kind. Which have no trouble using the arms and guns on civilians, who has no trouble using the Police to create criminals, instead of fighting thieves. As long as you are stealing the future, there will not be better tomorrow. You think you put out statements like this and vindicate yourself?
This isn’t 1986. This is 2018. If you know, you know.
The illdisciplined will come after you and your legacy will forever remembered for how you did this and all the others. All the skeletons and all the hurt you have done. We will not forget. Your as evil as the ones you overthrow back-in-the-day. Peace.

Yoweri Kaguta Museveni – ‘We shall not allow violence in elections’ 19.08.2018 link: https://www.yowerikmuseveni.com/blog/museveni/we-shall-not-allow-violence-elections

“Those in the ghetto, if you want to get out of ghetto, listen to what NRM is telling you. I was in the ghetto, in Katwe, in 1968, fighting Obote and Amin” – Yoweri Kaguta Museveni on the 17th August 2018.
Now, as the President has detained, tortured, arrested, frozen the account and who knows what sort of damage of the body of Robert Kyagulanyi, he went to the Ghettos to spread his positive narrative. That you all have to follow the President and not listen to the Ghetto President, Bobi Wine. That is why he went there now, as he knows what he has done. Therefore, the damage control of the President Museveni is to tell the usual story. Follow me. Follow my guidelines and know that I have all the answers.
That is what has appeared, as several MPs are in dire straits, as their lives in a worry and the dept of despair is not yet certain. But all of that is on his command and after the Presidents will. He has the force, he used his tricks and used his army to toil their desperation. Therefore, he knows perfectly well, how to get them out of it and out of danger. However, he keeps them as hostages and prays for their fall. It seems, as their journey into brutal injustice continues.
That is why in the midst of all that, he goes to the youth of ghettos of Kampala, which he meet this Friday on a ceremony and told them to listen. They have to follow him and NRM. If they ever want to get out. He has the message and he is the way out. NRM is the solution. It is so rich, that the one who has kept them poor and haven’t offered them development for 32 years. Are coming there and telling the youth to listen.
This while the new politician of their generation Bobi Wine is in uncertain territory and who knows if he is at the Makindye Military Barrack or airlifted somewhere else. Because there is speculation, but nothing is certain at this point. What is known, is that his fate is the hands of the President and that NRM.
That the youth and the people of the ghetto are supposed to listen too. Even if they don’t deliver or serve them anything. The NRM that hasn’t even tried to be there or act like it exists. But now that they have the Ghetto President behind bars. The President has to lecture them and tell them the way. How insulting right?
Why should they listen to the NRM?
So that they don’t get tortured, don’t get arrested and don’t get their mobile money revoked?
What has the NRM given the ghetto which is sustainable?
Not much and now he offers them a stern warning.
What is wrong with this man?
Who knows, but his mind and his rhetoric is not fitting the bill. When someone who represents the Ghettos are in dire need and is in his custody. Peace.

Where is Paul Mwiru, Gerald Karuhanga, Kassiano Wadri and at what state is Francis Zaake? All of this men have been in limbo since the Arua By-Election. Not only Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine. All of these men has been tortured, harassed and detained at various locations. These men combined with other opposition activists, which all was taken in the mere days of polls on the 15th August and the aftermath continues.
It is like the authorities thinks we forgetting about the other Members of Parliament, as their fate is uncertain, while the health condition of Francis Zaake and Bobi Wine is uncertain. The lack of reports and knowledge of the others isn’t a good state either. They could be in Gulu or in Arua. Even airlifted to somewhere else. To a godforsaken prison in Moroto. Because the regime likes to act like the colonial powers did to their enemies. That is what the President and his henchmen does. With training from North Korea and their torturing techniques. There is enough soldiers that has gone through that training over the years, to have the ability to scorn a mans life.
So where is Paul Mwiru?
So where is Gerald Kauhanga?
So where is Kassiano Wadri?
So where is Michael Mabikke?
What health care is planned for Zaake?
What health care is planned for Bobi Wine?
What is your initial plan, other than torture, arrest and creating an uncertain future for these legislators. As they deferred your will and ensured another By-Election loss in Arua. That has certainly hit the pride of the President. Which put him into a frenzy and has since then ordered mayhem and destruction over the ones crossing his path. That is initially how it looks. We can wonder, if all these lives and the costs. Would be to much for the President to swallow, as the reactions and possible outcome, would become overbearing. The public would become tired of the militarism and the intimidation of the President. That is only for time to tell.
What we do need to know, is where is these legislators and how are they?
We know the limbo of life concerning Zaake and Kyagulanyi, but not the rest. Peace.

It is reasonable to ask this as the health condition of Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine, whose in detention at the Makindye Military Barrack. This is happening after he is charged with treason, awaiting trial. Why I am asking this question, because will the National Resistance Movement (NRM) and President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni risk the life of the young politician and kingmaker?
Because he has risked other people’s life of late. This being in September 2015, when General Aronda Nyakairima died of a mysterious illness while visiting South Korea. There was an assassination of AIGP Andrew Kaweesi on the 17th March 2017. Also, the recent assassination of Ibrahim Abiriga on the 8th June 2018. There are others too who has died in this period. Other MPs that has died during this term of the 10th Parliament are William Zinkuratir, Annie Logiel(Moroto), Cyrus Amodoi (Toroma county) and Grace Khauda (Jinja). Therefore, there are enough people who are dying in and around the President. This are not all crimes, but some has been by suspicious illness. Other by traffic-accidents. Its a lot of deaths. Also, some who has seen the barrel of a gun.
If it wasn’t for these and all the other unanswered deaths during the Presidency of Museveni. We wouldn’t even dare to ask this question. But now that the darkness is here, the kidneys are possibly failing, the internal bleeding and lack of x-ray of his damaged head. As of the deteriorating health condition isn’t how it supposed to be. This is the hurt that the Special Force Command and the authorities have done to his body. Therefore, the responsibility is on the President and the ones in high-command that ordered it.
Therefore, what will happen if his body start to fail, as the condition of kidneys are worsening, as their no dialysis or treatment at the barracks. As the reports of only a hot-towel on the tummy. If that is true than, his special medical condition and possible hurt isn’t taken care off. What if the damage become much worse and the lack of bodily function stops him totally? What will happen then?
A mockery salvage of a day of silence within the chambers of parliament, a government burial and an empty speech of democracy and buying CCTV cameras from the President? Is that what awaits us, if he dies?
At this rate, the state isn’t caring for their MPs nor the health of its citizens. They have made life worse for Hon. Betty Nambooze, who was charged for her social media postings after the assassination of Abiriga. She could nearly not leave for needed treatment in India earlier in the year. Now, Bobi Wine is in a similar state. As he is charged with treatment, but pure torture and now continued ones, as the state is not giving him needed health care at either Mulago “the Kings Hospital” or at Katabi Military Hospital. That is where Bobi Wine should have gotten treatment, not linger at the barracks in uncertainty. Especially after the Special Force Command has tortured and hurt the man. This shows how little humanity the NRM has for the people in the Republic. If they truly cared, they wouldn’t have done this to him and continued his pains.
Bobi Wine are now in dire straits, but what the authorities should worry about:
What if he stops breathing?
Will, there be more than mere riots in Kamwokya, Gyaza of Kyadondo East and possible marches in Mukono. The Kingmaker might create more problems dead, than alive. As his spirit and the youths might rise up because he becomes their martyr. He becomes the embodiment of the fight against the tyranny and the leader who the NRM took away from them. The ghettos, the youth and the ones who is not in the lingo of 1986ers will react and take the republic back.
Museveni should consider this, that the Walk to Work, the Action for Change and all the other rallying of the past. Might be small-fry, if they have a high level, national martyr. They might have the battle-cry, to avenge the lost Bobi Wine. Would the NRM risk that?
A beloved, a hero and a well-spoken new generation of politician. The new face for liberation of the tyranny of the Museveni era. The three decades long control of the politics. Which has just taken the state and sold away their values for short term gains for the elites of Bugolobi and Kololo. There is time for fresh ideas and true liberation. Not from Bush-War legends, but from the children of the ghettos.
If they killed him. I think it would spark a possible fire, that Museveni never has seen before. A sort of attitude and martyrdom, which he could never anticipate. Because the ripple effect by just have him in detention at the barracks is creating an international reaction. However, if there is chain-reaction of protests, riots and even rallies, than the army couldn’t quell it all. That because he didn’t give the needed health care and special medical treatment. Which is insane, to risk ones man life, just because he bothers you and has the ability to gain grass-root political changes.
Would he risk that over the one life?
The ways revolutions starts are usually over one special assassination or death by authorities. Which they didn’t prepare. The one that triggered the People’s Power Revolution in the Philippines was the killing of Bengino “Ninoy” Aquino, which was the final nail in the coffin for the Marcos dictatorship. If Museveni will do the same. Then, the one that might trigger his downfall would be the death of Bobi Wine. Because of rising popularity and his message. Which the state couldn’t anticipate and now has to maneuver.
This is all just in our minds, I wish Bobi Wine speedy recovery and get acquitted, the cases against him dismissed and him back as the whirlwind in politics. Not being in the sick-bed at the military barrack without special medical treatment. That should happen as soon as possible and before his return to the Court Martial at the Gulu Military Court on the 23rd August 2018. Now he will await to that time before he can get medical treatment. That’s why we worry about it all and hope for the best.
Is it worth risking losing his life over the forged charges put on Mr. President? Really?
Would you risk that he would be the “Ninoy” of Uganda and be the final nail in coffin for your Presidency?
Peace.
