For a very long time, dictator Museveni has deliberately, and brutally stifled opposition, and ruthlessly rigged elections in Uganda.

The dictator’s security forces are known to be intolerant to members of the opposition. Political, rights activists and opposition supporters are always attacked from their houses and party premises on sanctioned orders of senile tyrant Museveni.

One can easily recall horrific events that unfolded during the campaign trail in November 2020 at campaign sites where the lead opposition party-NUP was selling its agenda to the Kayunga people, hundreds of opposition supporters were brutally abducted, beaten to a pulp whilst others went missing to date. This happened while Dictator Museveni was also campaigned in Kayunga surrounded by military trucks and Armored Personnel Carriers-APCs. This shows how scared the dictator is! Ugandans must not relent on the struggle for our rights.

But also bear in mind that the only person safe in the entire country is criminal despot Museveni.

Opposition, its followers or any other person that despises the bloody ruthless dictator have all been subjected to various hunt down, arbitrary arrest, abductions, torture and extra-judicial killings.

Different by-elections that took place last year gave the usual glimpse of the usual election stealing and mistreatment of contestants vying for a position on a different political party that is not NRM.

As the year closed yesterday, we can’t forget but to remember innocent Ugandans who died at the hands of ruthless criminal despot Museveni. We remember specifically the gruesome killing of Muhammad Sserubogo. Sserubogo’s lifeless body was found by relative hanging on a tree near his home to fake a suicide. Locals and relatives have since shown that Sserubogo – who was newly elected LC5 chairman on the opposition National Unity Platform ticket – was killed, and Museveni’s agents hanged his body on a tree.

So, how do we call our country a democratic nation when the opposition’s officials are killed, and fake elections held to replace them?

We have to ask ourselves: do we wait for all the opposition activists and followers to be hanged on a tree before Ugandans can say enough is enough, and do something, like what happened in Sudan against a hated regime?

I am just a former NRA Kadogo.
