Uganda’s 62nd Independence Day is fast approaching, but the celebrations are marred by the government’s ugly display of raw power and its relentless persecution of opposition voices. The recent abduction of Denis Senono, a dedicated National Unity Platform (NUP) member, is just the latest in a never-ending series of state-sponsored terror tactics aimed at crushing any form of dissent.
Senono, a well-known supporter of Bobi Wine and his cause, was brazenly dragged off the streets by armed thugs masquerading as security personnel. These goons snatched him right outside the NUP headquarters in Makerere-Kavule, bundled him into a Toyota Hiace (infamously referred to as “drones”), and sped off, leaving behind terror-stricken witnesses and shattered families. Let’s call it what it is: state-sanctioned kidnapping! This vile practice has become the hallmark of Museveni’s despotic regime—an appalling violation of every imaginable human right.
For how long will Ugandans be subjected to this brutal oppression? Museveni’s government is a disgusting cesspool of corruption, repression, and unbridled power lust. The man has systematically turned the country’s security apparatus into his personal gang of thugs, unleashed to terrorize anyone who dares to oppose him. It’s not law enforcement—it’s state terrorism!
The regime is so cowardly that it can’t face its political opponents head-on. Instead, it employs underhanded tactics like abductions, torture, and arbitrary detentions. And it’s not just Senono. Dozens of NUP supporters have been abducted, tortured, and dumped like garbage in various parts of the country. Some are never seen again. Are we supposed to sit idly by as these barbarians drag our brothers, sisters, and friends off the streets? It’s high time for every Ugandan to wake up and see the writing on the wall: Museveni’s regime is nothing but a gang of despots clinging to power through sheer force and bloodshed.
Bobi Wine’s outrage on social media is justified. His anger mirrors the frustration and fear simmering among thousands of opposition supporters. The message is clear: you speak up, you disappear. You protest, you get gunned down. You dare to challenge Museveni’s rotten rule, and you’re met with savage brutality. But guess what? Not even Museveni’s iron-fisted tactics will crush the will of the people forever!
This so-called “Independence Day” will be nothing more than a grotesque parade of the very tyranny and lawlessness Ugandans fought against 62 years ago. The country’s so-called “freedom” is a sham. Museveni will stand there, pompously waving his dirty hands, pretending to be a leader while his cronies kidnap, torture, and kill innocent citizens. What a mockery! What a farce!
It’s time to stop treating Museveni’s regime with kid gloves. This madman is a menace to the people of Uganda, and every citizen should be enraged. Why are we celebrating independence when there is no freedom? What’s the point of honoring our past when our present is riddled with fear and repression? Every abduction, every unlawful arrest, and every act of state-sanctioned terror is a reminder that Uganda is still shackled by the chains of dictatorship.
The NUP has called on all Ugandans to stand up against this madness, and they’re damn right! Silence is complicity. The government’s overreach must be met with defiance. We cannot let these filthy pigs continue to trample on our rights. We must speak out, protest, and fight back in any way we can until Museveni and his band of criminals are driven out of power.
Independence Day? What a joke. Until the day Ugandans are free to walk their streets without fear, until the day opposition voices are no longer met with bullets and batons, and until the day Museveni’s regime crumbles into the dustbin of history, there will be nothing to celebrate. Instead, we should mourn. Mourn the loss of our freedom. Mourn the loss of our brothers and sisters to Museveni’s evil regime. And mourn the shame of calling ourselves a “democracy” when our country is ruled by a deranged dictator hell-bent on enslaving us all.
