Kenya’s IEBC features in Uganda’s presidential election fraud allegations as it is accused of training NRM agents to rig in Museveni
In Uganda, signs of democratic backsliding include restrictions on freedoms, weakened accountability and increasingly opaque governance.
Understanding why Uganda’s political dinosaur Museveni is whining as Bobi Wine drains country’s moral and economic swamp
Bobi Wine’s rise as a populist leader in the 21st century has, of course, been catalysed by his viral political, effective social media presence and crowd dynamics, heavily driven by young people. Most of these are in their 20s and 30s, who have grown under and seen only President Tibuhaburwa Museveni.
AI-generated crowds may be Satan’s tool of deception Museveni needed to wow voters in January 25 presidential election
Currently, the narrative is that only President Tibuhaburwa Museveni can ensure peace and security of the country and ensure further development, transformation and progress of the country. Accordingly many political parties seem to have agreed to the narrative and struck alliances with the NRM, not realising that President Tibuhaburwa Museveni has never abandoned his determination to erase political parties
Uganda’s ritualistic coronation and Gun Power: How soldiers elect Museveni and Electoral Commission endorses decision
President Tibuhaburwa Museveni’s personalist party, the National Resistance Movement (NRM), has served since 1986 more to stupefy Ugandans into believing that they are participating in the politics of the country, yet its role has emerged to be legitimising presidential power at the expense of genuine power.
After Rwandan Tutsi refugees installed Museveni in Uganda, there’s suspicion they want to reign in Great Lakes Region ‘genetically’
Perturbed people in East Africa think, believe and are convinced the expanded economic region would be politically dominated by Rwandan nomadic pastoralists in the same fashion they dominated their ancient Kitara Kingdom that spread over Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Malawi and parts of Zambia before the emergence of the Bunyoro Kitara Kingdom of the Babito.
From quasi-socialist and communist, Uganda’s Museveni morphed into ‘I, me and myself’ Eating Chief before ‘Kyagulanyi Idea’ arrived
For President Tibuhaburwa Museveni himself Uganda begins in 1986 when he captured the instruments of power through the barrel of the gun. Indeed, he has endeavoured to rewrite the history of Uganda in which past leaders, whom he once referred to as swine, are excluded as if they never existed or contributed to the social, economic or political changes in the country – positive or negative.
Museveni’s militarisation of Uganda’s part of Lake Victoria ecosystem destroys time-tested conservation
Consequently, whole cultural communities have been displaced and dispossessed, clearly in the interest of foreigners. This has endangered natural resources conservation and management in every part of Uganda.
Why Uganda is no longer the still point of Africa’s turning wheel: Citizenry is woke and the ‘refugees’ in power must give way
What is becoming increasingly evident is that Ugandans are waking up to their imposed reality: conquest, occupation and domination by a small group of people with exogenous roots, but endowed with power, money and ill-gotten wealth, and who are now determined to capture every civic space and natural wealth of Ugandans for their own aggrandisement
Travelling business class to London ‘accidentally’ and the story of Kenya’s attorney general Nojnjo disembarking East African Airways if the captain was Black
When the East African Community collapsed in 1977, due to the political rising incongruence of the presidents of Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda (i.e. Jomo Kenyatta, Kambarage Nyerere and Idi Amin respectively) who together constituted the Authority of the Community, everything, including the fleet of EAA planes, was grounded. It is unlikely that the now re-established and greatly expanded EA will re-establish the former EAA and other corporations that greatly benefited the region in diverse ways.
Some 60 people feared killed in multiple bus accident in western Uganda as police send out conflicting figures
In Uganda, 5,144 people were killed in road crashes in 2024. That number rose from 4,806 in 2023 and 4,534 in 2022, according to official police figures, which show a worrisome rise in the total number of those killed or injured in road crashes in recent years.
