Hi @JWhalouXhaso , can we do protest at Linjemontage pls?
Delighted to join EU colleagues and Swedish company Linjemontage for this important discussion with H.E. @KagutaMuseveni on investment and business. Proud to highlight #TeamSweden’s support for the Karuma-Tororo 400kV transmission line project, newly launched together with 🇺🇬Minister of Energy @DrMusenero.
Fake video #1 by @UGCitizen256 . Shame on you. UPC didn't even participate.

I love how you keep addressing the abducted foot soldjars! You should be one of our MPs.

I told @kizzabesigye1 how he seems to be winning the fabricated treason case; even though the hearing started while he was in the ICU, and despite him being absent in court and with no legal representation at all!
He responded by tapping out the letters on the alphabet chart: “All God.”
KB is so grateful to God for giving him another chance at life and for fighting the battles he cannot fight himself.
Let His name be praised indeed! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Maybe @JoelSsenyonyi didn't prepare his Maiden speech well. He didn't talk about Rigged Elections, our Pres Bobi Wine, absense of Rule of Law, Abductions & Torture. He did talk about bad roads,hospitals & corruption,but that's not good enough. He didn't call out dictatorship.2/2
I cannot give up on our NUP MPs. I will be giving constructive criticism based on facts. I took @JoelSsenyonyi maiden speech in the New Parliament to check if he addressed all the important issues that are bothering Ugandans. We don't want him to become another Mathias Mpuuga.1/2

This interview of @AloikinOpoloje has rubbed the sycophants the wrong way. Apparently they did her a favor and released her thinking she will be remorseful. Now the threats are in high gear. I am featured in those threats so many times as the person influencing her. And they add that those influencing us like @kizzabesigye1 and @HEBobiwine already became rich or some nonsense like that. As if Praise has no agency of her own, has no eyes to see the gross human rights violations that she is calling out, as if, like them, she has no brain to tell right from wrong! We will name names soon. youtu.be/M26250Fw46E

Apparently, the old man being roughed up in the video was trying to stop state agents from abducting his children—a practice becoming disturbingly common in Uganda. Many of those abducted have not been heard from in a long time.
Politicians are too afraid of losing their jobs to speak out. And the sanctimonious religious conmen masquerading as pastors prophets and preachers—parading in long robes and oversized crosses every Sunday—have nothing to say. They are still waiting to hear from God. They are the very sort of religious leaders Jesus rebuked in Mark 12:38–40 and Luke 20:46–47. They seem to hear from Him only when it is time to collect tithes, or when someone calls out their hypocrisy.
No life is safe in Uganda. @SecRubio, keep Uganda at Level 4: Do Not Travel advisory. If you need another reason, look no further than this video.

At any Ugandan university, law students are routinely confronted with this examination question:
"Discuss the view that the silence, inaction, or complicity of lawyers and judges between 1971 and 1979 played a fundamental role in sustaining President Idi Amin's atrocious regime for eight years."
Isn't it deeply unsettling that in a few years, a nearly identical question may well be asked about the current generation of judicial officers, lawyers and other professionals? 🤔
To see that Dr. Kizza Besigye and Hon. Lukwago have made impassioned pleas for bail on medical grounds for several months, and yet remain trapped in jail as their health deteriorates is beyond comprehension!

This is such a sad Election Petition with a very contradictory outcome
It had all hallmarks of violence. 2 people died & several severely injured. Vandalism & hooliganism
Court over-stretched substantially test & missed an opportunity to re-set parameters of quality of election
This horrible picture is real. Soldier Ssebyara Majibu was tortured by his colleagues in Somalia and after hanging 10kg of rocks on his penis they took this picture. This is the kind of Torture that should receive international attention, not the Paper Victims like Hillary Taylor
Can we pls go back to core issues of our party?
- We demand tally & DR forms
- When is Parliament inspecting the Torture House as revealed by Herbert Mabonga?
- Attention for Victims of Human Rights violations.
Small-scale vendors of Wi-Fi and internet hotspots should not be banned. Instead, UCC could come up with an appropriate licensing framework for them that is not as cumbersome as that of the big players.

Dennis, just know that you have inspired thousands of entrepeneurs worldwide. It's not just about money.
Foursquare was acquired last month. The outcome was disappointing. It's taken me a while to write this, but I think I'm finally done grieving it. Here are some thoughts on our final years, an effort to honor the team who helped build & maintain FSQ's legacy, and my attempt to finally get some closure. teendrama.substack.com/p/som…
The beheading of a Kagame critic has reached Netherlands & Belgium. I wonder if Kagame even cares about his reputation.

Habibi, there's something easy to miss in Gashumba’s pushback against fake pastors, it has to do with the Anti-Homosexuality Act.
When Anita Among & her people were pushing for the Act, I said it here - tweet below - that it would be a GOOD THING in the long run!
Now, every time Gashumba attacks the pastor who “opens boot”, he makes sure to remind listeners that he is NOT against consensual, adult, same sex relations. In another video he even said, “homosexual are NOT easy and I don't want a war with them…” As in, the man would rather pick a battle with much-dreaed Balokole community than with the Ugandan gay community whom he set out to annihilate for Uganda! For Uganda’s gay community, that's HUGE!
We are now at stage where erstwhile unknown young gay people turn up for music concerts and have the time of their lives week-in-week out - despite the Act being fully in effect! Meanwhile, only a handful of people have been arrested, and prosecuted under the law! There's NOT A SINGLE CONVICTION to the best of my knowledge.
When all is said and done, the Ugandan gay community need to built a BIG MONUMENT FOR Anita Among. No one has done more for their freedom - as an unintended consequence, of course - than ANNET ANITA AMONG MAGOGO in the last 40 years!
However, Among did nothing new. It is the law of nature; persecute any group so hard, and you’ll help them become even more emboldened in the long run.
The First Family has been persecuting young TikToks for saying basic things since 2022. They went after all of them, then we ended up with @AloikinOpoloje saying very bold things from out of the blue! When they arrested Praise, hundreds of other people made videos in her defence, even worse than hers. Same thing for NUP; it always seems crashed and finished with thousands arrested, tens dead, hundreds in exile, but it just won't die and most likely will be stronger in years to come…
There’s a whole group of people on Twitter that now believes @martinssempa is out here to “spread homosexuality” through “reverse psychology”. Don’t think that’s true, but it’s an interesting view.
All said and done, all this talk about homosexuality being at the centre of our national conversation is good for Uganda’s sexual minorities in the long run, I think. In the short run, the AHA is bad as it has put queer Ugandans at grave risk, but in the long run it will be good.
Someone recently pointed out that Hitler killed no less than 100,000 suspected gay people, only for Berlin to emerge as “The Gay Capital of the World”. Maybe Uganda will be the undisputed gay people’s capital in Africa 2040 or 2050.
Normally, when a group of people is targeted by society, they go underground and organize. That explains the Jewish strength, the Tutsi strength, and why the so-called “born agains” are unstopped in Uganda today, even when Amin targeted them so hard.
So when Uganda becomes the place-to-be for gay people in Africa, it will be partly thanks to the American conservatives behind Among, Opendi, and Ssempa. Not that this was their original intention though…
