 By DAVID LEWIS RUBONGOYA  The Second Day of our mission to observe the Kenyan Election is going well. We are meeting various stakeholders including Presidential candidates, the IEBC as well as civil society leaders. We are all rooting for Kenya and hoping they have a free, fair and peaceful election. Very humbled to join several respected leaders from the African continent and other places.

  The pictures coming in from Karamoja Sub-region are most disheartening. Very many Ugandans are being murdered in cold blood. The efforts to end this nightmare have not been serious. The people of Karamoja have been asking very critical questions and getting very few answers from the authorities. In many instances, people within the region have accused security forces of shooting unarmed civilians, but there have been no attempt to investigate these allegations to conclusion. In the strongest terms possible, we condemn these massacres and demand that an end is put to these senseless killings. I call upon all of us to stand in solidarity with these brothers and sisters who live in extreme fear. I call upon the media to shine a light on what is happening in Karamoja. The people of Karamoja need to feel that the rest of the nation stands with them and that we all understand their pain and suffering. #EndKaramojaMassacres #FreeAllPoliticalPrisonersUganda

  Gutted to learn of the death of Mrs. Immaculate Onebe, whose decomposing body has been discovered in a septic tank at their home more than 7 months after she went missing. On 6 January 2021, the 63-year old was waylaid and abducted by security personnel travelling in a Toyota Hiace 'Drone' who whisked her off to an unknown location. Frantic efforts by her family to trace her yielded no fruits, although security forces eventually admitted responsibility for her abduction. Mrs. Onebe went missing at a time when similar abductions of opposition leaders, supporters and sympathisers had become the order of the day in the run up to, and in the aftermath of the 14th January election. Dictator Museveni later published a statement taking responsibility for the abductions which he revealed were being masterminded by his private militia, the SFC, reasoning that the victims were security threats. To date, several victims are still missing; others are suffering in prisons without trial, w...

By Bobi Wine    Very saddened by the passing of His Eminence Metropolitan Jonah Lwanga, Archbishop of Kampala and Exarch of All Uganda in the Orthodox Church, who has been an outspoken critic of the injustice and bad governance in our country. Not one to sit by and watch as our country careened down the steep slope of dictatorship, Archbishop Jonah has been a consistent voice in pointing out the wrongs of those who hold us captive. Perhaps his most candid comment in recent times was when he urged Ugandans to pray for the collapse of #DictatorMuseveni 's regime, reasoning that only then shall we have peace and prosperity again. That Archbishop Jonah has now passed on raises more questions than answers, considering that many other religious leaders, prominent for their criticism of the regime, have passed on recently under unclear circumstances. Archbishop Cyprian Kizito Lwanga of the Catholic Church, Sheikh Nuhu Muzaata Batte, and the Bishop Emeritus of Masaka John Baptist Kagg...

  As predicted, the Museveni regime has actualized its plan of implicating NUP leaders in the ongoing spate of murders in Greater Masaka. When mister Chris Baryomunsi alluded to this last week, it looked like an absolute joke. But as we now know, anything is possible in Uganda. They will do anything possible and go to any extent to achieve their absurd objectives. In fact, there is no regime whose evil schemes can be as accurately predicted as that in Uganda. As we speak, Hon. Muhammad Segirinya (MP Kawempe North) and Hon. Allan Ssewanyana (MP Makindye West) has been summoned to appear before CID next Monday in relation to the ongoing spate of murders. Anyone can predict where this is going, and what their grand objective is. What I can say without contradiction, is that this new attempt will fail, like all those before. Our people just need to be vigilant and remain alert.

By Bobi Wine    We are very delighted to reconnect with all our comrades who have been released today from illegal detention. After six months of torture, imprisonment and humiliation, the General Court Martial today released 18 of those they were still holding- prominent amongst them Nubian Li, Eddie Mutwe, Dan Magic, Kampala Lookman, Bobi Young, Kivumbi Achleo, and others. Their release on bail was hinged on very tough conditions, including an order for them not to go beyond Kampala and Wakiso without the court's permission. We are very grateful to all Ugandans- home and abroad who have raised their voices demanding for these comrades' release. I thank the religious leaders, traditional leaders, political leaders and all ordinary citizens who have done everything to demand for the release of these people. We must now not relent but continue to struggle until all the hundreds of our people are freed unconditionally. We must not relent until Gen. Museveni's criminal regime ...

  President Museveni It is really bankrupt to kill people. If I had killed Besigye, he would now be a hero in people's minds. They would be saying that 'Oh Besigye would have done a big thing but he was killed'. That's how Jesus became a hero. If those Romans had not killed Jesus, I don't know what would have happened

 By Bobi Wine  STATEMENT ABOUT THE RETURN OF MOTOR VEHICLE REG. NO. UBJ 667F Yesterday, I received a phone call from one of our lawyers Anthony Wameli who informed me that he had received a call from a Commissioner at URA requesting us to pick the bulletproof vehicle which was impounded by URA more than two months ago. Like we repeatedly said to the nation, there was no legal basis whatsoever for URA to impound the vehicle in the first place! This is a car which was fully inspected by URA, Interpol and the police forensics department before the tax was assessed and levied. We accordingly paid the tax in full, and a Ugandan number plate was issued. The story changed when it was discovered that the car belonged to me. URA immediately moved to impound the vehicle claiming that their initial assessment had been wrong. They would then impose a new exorbitant tax of 337 million shillings! These past weeks, our legal team embarked on the process of challenging the tax before the Tax ...

 By David Lewis Rubongoya  We got to the General Court Martial early this morning but were not allowed to access the court. There were conflicting reports on whether or not our comrades would be brought to court. We waited for several hours as the court dealt with other cases. We were later informed that our comrades have not been brought! The cost of standing up against a dictatorship sometimes goes fever-high. The sight of relatives traveling from all over the country to come to Makindye and leave in disappointment is very depressing. Yet under all these circumstances, we soldier on.
  Look at how people are fighting to get onto the bus and leave Kampala before the expiry of the three days they were given. Are there any SOPs followed here? How safe are the villages they are going to? Meanwhile the fare has skyrocketed up to shs. 150,000 for a trip which normally take shs. 50k.
Bobi Wine’s bullet proof car released on orders of President Museveni. It is clear after the attempted assasin on Gen Katumba Wamala, government realised there could be a more dangerous public uproar could Bobi Wine get an such a problem. To beef up his security at his cost, his car had to be released unconditionally.

  Today, our comrades who are still locked up at Kitalya were supposed to appear in the military court for a ruling on their bail application. These are people who have been locked up at Kitalya for six months for no crime whatsoever. We understand that prison authorities received orders from "above" to return the comrades to prison just as they were about to travel to Court! They seem to be using the excuse of COVID even when the court has proceeded to listen to other cases. A few minutes ago, three "drones" full of suspects just entered the premises of the military court for plea taking! We suspect most of these are our comrades who have been held incommunicado for several weeks, and they will soon be remanded without any chance of getting legal representation. Gen. Museveni is doing all this to break our spirits, and to force us to talk to him! But this is reason for us to struggle on until we all have a say in our country.

By Bobi Wine   Nubian Li, Eddie Mutwe, Mbogo, Dan Magic, Kampala Lookman, Kafuko Stanley, Bobi Young, Mudde Ntambi, Sheriff Najja and many other friends and comrades are holed up at Kitalya Government Prison for close to three months now.  Gen. Museveni arrested them, tortured them, tried them, convicted them, and sentenced them to a term in jail.  Their stated crime according to the charge sheet is unlawful possession of ammunition, an offence they apparently committed on 3rd January, when they were already under military custody.  But we all know their real crime, don't we? Museveni is punishing them for believing that Uganda deserves better. He is punishing them for associating with me. He is punishing them for daring to dream that a New Uganda is possible.  For comrades like Nubian Li and Eddie Mutwe, their crime is even more severe. How dare they reject the many offers of money which the regime made to them to betray me? For the past three years, the r...
