To any Nup leader planning to publically pledged educational support for Kapere's children, please ensure your commitment is genuine and lasting, rather than a mere publicity stunt for the cameras. Only promise what you realistically deliver.

Pastor Sam Okanya exposes one of the detention facilities where Ugandan youths are being held. The room is terribly overcrowded, with so many detainees crammed into a tiny space that some can barely breathe. This how human beings should be treated in their own country.

More than two months now since Ronald Kizito Jjuuko was shot and killed by an officer of @PoliceUg during the National Cleaning Day.
His family is still crying out for justice.

Which peace when Ugandans are being abducted and tortured in basements ? . Stop enabling our oppression. Uganda's dictatorial regime is what is causing the insecurity in the region. 🤦♀️
Good to meet H E President @KagutaMuseveni together with visiting EU Special Representative for the Great Lakes @JBorgstam. Uganda is an important partner in advancing regional peace & stability. The EU remains committed to dialogue & cooperation for lasting peace in the region.

If Dr NICO Exposed @JChameleone in Amsterdam, what about you Ugandans to BOYCOTT his coming concert.

If things continue as they are, there is a day you're going to see Kabanda and Mwenda in a torture chamber run by their boss. And the reasons will be very petty btw. In fact, he'll say he did it "for fun".

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! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

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

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…
