Uganda’s longest-sitting dictator, Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, has done it again—spewing another pile of crocodile tears in the form of a shallow, politically motivated “apology” for the decades of horror he has inflicted upon this nation. After over 40 years of bloodshed, corruption, torture, and repression, this aging despot now expects Ugandans to applaud him for pretending to feel remorse. But the people are not fooled—especially not the millions who’ve been orphaned, widowed, exiled, or buried under his regime’s brutal legacy.
Museveni’s apology isn’t repentance—it’s desperation. With the 2026 elections looming, and the shadow of Bobi Wine growing taller and louder, this blood-soaked tyrant is grasping at straws to salvage his crumbling stronghold. The presence of First Lady Janet Museveni at his side during this farcical apology was nothing but theatre—a tired performance from a couple who have gorged themselves on the suffering of Ugandans for far too long.
Opposition leader Robert Kyagulanyi, alias Bobi Wine, tore through Museveni’s hypocrisy like a sword through rotting flesh. “Apology not accepted,” he declared, echoing the voices of millions. And rightly so—how dare a man who has silenced, maimed, and murdered so many now ask for forgiveness while his military continues to abduct, imprison, and torture critics? You cannot apologize while your boots are still crushing necks. You cannot seek mercy while wielding the very guns that spilled innocent blood.
Museveni is no misunderstood statesman; he is a full-blown monster in military fatigues. He has ruled Uganda with an iron fist wrapped in lies, cloaking his tyranny in talk of liberation while systematically dismantling every democratic structure. Elections are a joke. Courts are manipulated. The police are executioners. And the army? A private militia for the Museveni family business.
Bobi Wine, on the other hand, has become the face of resistance, the embodiment of a people’s cry for freedom. He is not merely an opposition politician; he is the living conscience of a battered nation. While Museveni wallows in his arrogance and delusion, Bobi Wine speaks truth to power—undaunted, unshaken, and unbroken.
This fake apology should be thrown back in Museveni’s face with the contempt it deserves. Uganda doesn’t need words. Uganda needs justice. The tears of the mothers of Kasese still flow. The bones of those dumped in safe houses still cry out. The stolen elections, the broken promises, the rotting hospitals, the silenced journalists—all still scream for accountability.
The time for sweet talk is over. Museveni’s regime must fall. Bobi Wine’s call for democratic transition must be embraced with urgency. Uganda must tear down the regime of this unrepentant brute and rise from the ashes with courage, with unity, and with the fierce hope that real change is coming.
Enough blood. Enough lies. The monster’s apology is rejected. The revolution must be ignited.
