It is now clear that Museveni is a ruthless, heartless dictator who derives sadistic pleasure from the suffering of his longtime political rival, Dr. Kizza Besigye. As voices demanding Besigye’s release grow louder, the tyrant-in-chief remains unmoved, instead choosing to mock and taunt those calling for justice. The brutal old despot has shamelessly taken to his social media platforms to spew his usual nonsense, portraying himself as the supreme law of the land. His arrogant response proves that he is nothing more than a power-hungry savage who thrives on political persecution and bloodshed.
Museveni’s ludicrous claim that Besigye should face trial first before being freed is a pathetic excuse to keep his opponent behind bars. He pretends to champion justice while rigging the system to ensure that his enemies rot in prison indefinitely. It is laughable that he has the audacity to question why Besigye was arrested when the answer is obvious—he was detained for daring to challenge Museveni’s illegitimate rule. The dictator’s claim that he wants a “quick trial” is the biggest joke of the century. This is the same man who has turned Uganda’s judiciary into a puppet institution that dances to his every command. He is the reason why political prisoners languish in jail for months or even years without trial. His fake concern for justice is nothing but a smokescreen for his authoritarian madness.
Museveni’s bitterness over the Supreme Court’s ruling against the trial of civilians in military courts exposes his deep-seated dictatorial tendencies. He is furious that his kangaroo military courts, which have been used as tools of oppression, have been challenged. This bloodthirsty tyrant believes in using brute force and intimidation to silence dissent. His obsession with amending the UPDF Act to continue trying civilians in military courts is proof that he is a relic of tyranny who sees Uganda as his personal fiefdom. The idea that a military court should have authority over civilians is an absolute mockery of justice, but Museveni, in his unquenchable thirst for power, wants to bulldoze through any legal barriers that stand in his way.
His callous remarks about Besigye’s health expose the sheer wickedness of this aging dictator. Instead of showing even the slightest human sympathy, he has chosen to mock and downplay Besigye’s suffering, accusing him of blackmail. It is absolutely disgusting that Museveni would belittle a man whose health is deteriorating under the weight of state-sponsored oppression. His claims that Besigye is receiving medical attention are just more of his usual lies. The reality is that he wants Besigye to rot in jail, starve, and wither away while he watches in satisfaction. His government’s history of mistreating political prisoners speaks for itself—many have been tortured, poisoned, or left to die in inhumane conditions.
Museveni’s desperation to keep Besigye behind bars is a sign of his growing fear and paranoia. The old dictator knows that his regime is built on shaky ground, and any sign of resistance threatens to expose his fraudulent grip on power. His continued persecution of Besigye is not about justice—it is about vengeance, cruelty, and his undying hatred for anyone who refuses to bow before him. But history has shown time and time again that tyrants who rule with an iron fist always meet a disgraceful end. Museveni can continue his sadistic games, but he should know that his days of terrorizing Ugandans are numbered. The people are watching, and when the time comes, he will not escape the wrath of a nation fed up with his endless tyranny.
