Anger fuels Ugandans’ celebration of opponents’ deaths

By RICHARD KIZZA LUGOBWA LONDON. Since time immemorial death has been seen as a unifying factor as it brings unanimous sorrow and grief to all members of the community. Death as well brought reconciliation and cohesion as its reality provides the ripest time to see emptiness and the absurdity of life. Condolence messages like "my/our deepest condolences to the family.”, “heartfelt sympathies”, “thinking and praying for you in this difficult time” and so many others express the love and sympathy, and a gesture of sharing pain in time of death. Sadly, the situation has changed in Uganda. A new trend of a cross section of Ugandans deriving joy and celebrating death of opponents is increasing day by day. This widely criticized phenomenon which mainly targets leaders, supporters and enablers of the NRM ruling government is very shocking, inhumane and contrary […]

Muhoozi sparks storm as he attacks EU, human Rights Commission

By James Kabengwa KAMPALA.The Chief of Defence Forces and son of President Yoweri Museveni, General Muhoozi Kainerugaba has stirred fresh controversy following a series of provocative social media posts targeting European Union and the Uganda Human Rights Commission (UHRC). The uproar began Thursday after Muhoozi shared a photo of National Unity Platform leader Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine engaging with European Union (EU) diplomats who visited Kavule this week.  “This is an Abomination! @EUinUG is really playing with fire. Sawa!”  Muhoozi shared on his verified X handle a post that has widely been viewed as a warning to the EU for its interaction with the opposition. In a second tweet, Muhoozi lashed out at the UHRC for writing him a letter, saying on May 2 in which they reminded him to free Bobi Wine’s Body guard Edward Ssebuwuufu aka Eddie […]

Gen Muhoozi’s recklessness likely to lead Uganda into crisis

BY RICHARD KIZZA LUGOBWA LONDON. The Uganda’s army chief who also is the president’s son has for a long time been an X  mania continuously making controversial posts and commentary increasing tension among citizens. Then unapologetic General (nicknamed the tweeting General) uses sarcasm and seemingly lighthearted statements to communicate to the public his support to the current regime and readiness to “crush” opposition. General Muhoozi speaks with great authority which has raised questions as to whether his father, General Museveni is still in charge of the country’s security. Notable among Gen Muhoozi’s posts was a response to the parliamentary committee which summoned him with regard to his behavior on social media, early this year. The Defense and Internal Affairs committee wanted Muhoozi to explain his involvement in partisan politics following a series of social media posts which the constitution forbids […]

Is Gen Muhoozi’s Behaviour and Posts Cultivating Genocide?

By James Kabengwa In recent weeks, Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba—Uganda's Chief of Defence Forces and son of President Yoweri Museveni—has used social media not only to escalate political tensions, but to openly mock the abduction and alleged torture of opposition bodyguard Eddie Mutwe. What may appear to some as flippant or provocative tweets are, in truth, deeply disturbing signals of state impunity, tribal dominance, and a creeping culture of dehumanization—warning signs eerily familiar to any student of genocidal regimes. When Muhoozi tweeted, “He is in my basement. Learning Runyankore. You are next!” he didn’t just admit to extrajudicial detention—he invoked a colonial-style conversion ritual, where the captive must absorb the language and culture of his oppressor. The statement drew immediate alarm, and rightly so. Forcing Eddie Mutwe, a Muganda and a bodyguard to Robert Kyagulanyi SSentamu aka Bobi Wine, the National […]
