When confronted by Sky News on whether he intends to rule Uganda for the rest of his life, President Yoweri Museveni stopped short of a denial, instead deflecting the question by saying the decision lies with Ugandans. Coming from a leader repeatedly accused of mastering the art of election manipulation, the response reads less like reassurance and more like a thinly veiled confirmation of perpetual rule. As this statement reverberates, dramatic developments are unfolding on the ground. Early indications from the ongoing vote count suggest opposition leader Bobi Wine is gaining significant momentum. A flood of videos circulating from polling and tallying centers across Uganda shows ballots being counted in real time, electrifying the nation and heightening tensions as the country awaits what could be a defining moment in its political history.

Reports circulated yesterday after exiled activist and author Kakwenza Rukirabashaija posted on the social media platform X alleging that President Yoweri Museveni was rushed to Mbuya Military Hospital at approximately 3 a.m. to bid farewell to First Lady Janet Museveni. According to the claim, she had reportedly been admitted to the facility for several days and was on oxygen support, with suggestions that it was too risky to transport her abroad for further treatment. Although these reports remain unverified, they quickly triggered strong reactions online, with some individuals expressing premature celebration. Such responses raise important concerns about the state of public sentiment and discourse. While the accuracy of these claims is still uncertain—and I personally do not condone celebrating the potential death of any individual—the situation prompts a broader reflection. It highlights the extent of public dissatisfaction and the intensity of emotions directed toward the leadership. In light of this, one might ask the President and the First Family to consider the depth of public discontent and whether a peaceful transition of power could serve the nation’s best interests. At this stage, however, a critical question remains: is the reported condition of Janet Museveni accurate, and is she still alive? YouTube -

The war against Anita Among has now taken an even darker and more dramatic turn. According to reports highlighted by NTV, Museveni has allegedly placed the outgoing Speaker of Parliament, Anita Among, under a house arrest following a tense State House meeting aimed at forcing her out of the Speakership race. The meeting reportedly ended with Museveni’s camp accusing Among of opulence, extravagant spending, abuse of office, and turning Parliament into a center of unchecked luxury and excess. But perhaps the most humiliating part of it all was Museveni reportedly summoning former Speaker Rebecca Kadaga to State House to explain how she managed Parliament for years without the level of lavish spending now associated with Anita Among’s leadership. That image alone says everything. Among — once one of the most feared and untouchable figures in Uganda’s political establishment is now being publicly isolated, politically cornered, and seemingly sacrificed by the very system she fiercely defended. Just weeks ago, she was being praised and protected. Today, the same regime appears determined to politically bury her. This is the brutal reality of Museveni politics: no matter how loyal you are, the moment the system decides you are now a liability, the knives come out. Use. Exhaust. Discard. And Anita Among now appears to be learning that lesson in the harshest way possible. YouTube -

The Uganda Police Force’s credibility has once again been called into question, this time amid alarming threats from President Museveni’s son, Muhoozi Kainerugaba. In a move that has intensified public scrutiny, police spokesperson Kituuma Rusoke claimed that opposition leader Bobi Wine was at his residence and not under house arrest, adding that if he were to be arrested, the police would publicly disclose the alleged crimes he had committed. Shortly after, Muhoozi Kainerugaba took to his Twitter account, Muhoozi Engaged, issuing a stark warning: Bobi Wine must surrender to the authorities or be treated as a rebel and outlaw. The tweet, delivered in his trademark threatening style, has amplified fears and tensions across the country. This sequence of events raises a troubling question: if Bobi Wine has committed no crime, why is he being ordered to surrender? The situation underscores the continued aggressive posture of Uganda’s security apparatus and highlights the precarious position of opposition figures in a climate where dissent appears to be met with intimidation rather than due process.

Yesterday, I shared a video of a young man who had reached a breaking point in his life. Instead of making a tragic decision, this man — whom I know as Kasule Paul — chose to courageously speak out. In the video, he explained the challenges he was facing after his merchandise was stolen, leaving him uncertain about how he would return home to his young family — his wife, who had just undergone surgery, and their baby — and explain what had happened. I posted a message on Facebook asking for help in locating him, and I am grateful that we were able to connect. We have since spoken, and he has shared the kind of support he needs during this difficult time. I kindly ask for your compassion and support as we come together to assist him. Thank you.

Deputy Speaker of Parliament Thomas Tayebwa took to the parliamentary floor to air his dirty laundry. The embattled politician lashed out at Senga Acid, a Canada-based individual who allegedly defamed him by claiming he was having illicit affairs with Sheila Gashumba an entertainment show host. Desperate Attempt to Save Face? Tayebwa's decision to defend himself against these claims has raised eyebrows, with many questioning why he's investing so much time and energy into disproving what he calls lies. Is he hiding something? A Marriage on the Rocks? As the drama unfolds, sources close to the Deputy Speaker reveal a marriage in turmoil. Tayebwa's wife, Anita Rukundo, has been noticeably absent from public events, fueling speculation about the state of their relationship. Parliament or Personal Soapbox? The incident has sparked outrage among Ugandans, who are demanding to know why their elected officials are using parliament as a platform for personal vendettas. This is crossing the line and I explain why. YouTube -

What appears to be the climax of a simmering feud between ICT and National Guidance Minister Chris Baryomunsi and Chief of Defence Forces Muhoozi Kainerugaba has now erupted into the open. In a bold and provocative move, Muhoozi has threatened that Baryomunsi will never again be appointed a minister in his father’s cabinet—an unmistakable display of power politics at the highest level. Baryomunsi, however, refused to be intimidated. In a defiant response, he dismissed the threat outright, declaring that his political rise was forged through personal merit and competence, not patronage or political favors. Escalating the confrontation, Baryomunsi accused Muhoozi of suffering from “Peter Pan syndrome,” a stinging charge that questions the CDF’s political maturity and readiness for leadership. This unfolding showdown is more than a personal clash—it is a revealing glimpse into the deepening fault lines within Uganda’s ruling elite, where authority, ambition, and entitlement collide in public view. What follows is my commentary on this explosive political standoff. YouTube -

Winnie Byanyima, the wife of Kizza Besigye, has revealed that Muhoozi Kainerugaba deployed specially assigned soldiers to closely monitor Dr. Besigye during his detention. According to Byanyima, although the prison already has official guards responsible for overseeing inmates, Dr. Besigye is subjected to exceptional restrictions. She stated that he is not permitted to interact with fellow prisoners, leave the special cell in which he is being held, or participate in recreational activities with other inmates. Byanyima claims that these measures are intended to psychologically weaken him and ultimately threaten his life. She made these remarks ahead of a mass organized to pray for Dr. Besigye and other political prisoners, as well as victims of the lawlessness of Yoweri Museveni’s regime, scheduled to take place on Monday at Lubaga Cathedral.

Bobi Wine was recently selected to address the Geneva Summit for Human Rights and Democracy, marking his second appearance at the prestigious international forum. He first spoke at the summit in 2023 following Uganda’s 2021 general elections. This time, however, the circumstances surrounding his address are markedly different. After the 2026 elections, Bobi Wine fled his home and has remained in hiding amid threats from Muhoozi Kainerugaba, Uganda’s Chief of Defence Forces. As a result, he is expected to deliver his address remotely via video rather than appearing in person. In his 2023 maiden speech at the summit, Bobi Wine described what he characterized as widespread violence and repression during the 2020 election campaigns. He explained the numerous times Ugandans were killed by state authorities, under President Yoweri Museveni, who is responsible for grave human rights violations. His message was direct and focused: he urged the international community to reconsider its relationship with Museveni’s government, calling for an end to financial support and diplomatic cooperation. He further appealed for targeted sanctions against Museveni and his associates, advocating for their international isolation. Despite ongoing concerns raised by human rights organizations and opposition figures, Western governments have continued to engage with Museveni’s administration. This raises an important question: what will Bobi Wine’s upcoming address emphasize under these new and more precarious circumstances? Below is my commentary on his maiden address, during which he introduced himself and his cause to the global stage. YouTube - EU in Uganda United Nations

Uganda military has raided the home of Bobi Wine in what seems to be a coordinated operation to kidnap his wife Brabie Kyagulanyi. Barbie Kyagulanyi has been placed under house arrest since the 15th January 2026 presidential election where her husband ended up fleeing when the same military tried to arrest him. YouTube -

Tension is once again gripping Uganda’s political landscape after National Unity Platform (NUP) presidential candidate Robert Kyagulanyi, popularly known as Bobi Wine, was blocked from campaigning in Moroto District yesterday. His campaign trail was abruptly halted at Amudat Trading Centre, where heavily armed police and military forces mounted a roadblock, effectively shutting down his planned activities. With just eight days left to the election, the unfolding events feel eerily familiar. One could easily mistake the scenes for a replay of the last election cycle—marked by brutal crackdowns, calculated sabotage, roadblocks, teargas, violent beatings, and even killings. Despite the passage of time, the script appears unchanged, as Bobi Wine continues to face relentless obstruction while President Yoweri Museveni conducts a largely violence-free campaign. During the previous election, at the height of similar repression, Bobi Wine sat down with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour in a powerful interview where he explained why, despite the danger to his life and supporters, he refused to retreat from the struggle. Today, history is repeating itself. Once again, he presses forward, undeterred by intimidation and force, choosing resistance over silence. Below is that interview—followed by my commentary on a campaign that continues to be defined by courage, confrontation, and controversy. YouTube -

Speculation surrounding the health of First Lady Janet Kataaha Museveni has intensified in recent days, with unverified reports circulating online alleging that she may be in critical condition. Some claims have gone as far as suggesting she has been placed on life support, although no official confirmation has been provided. Fueling these concerns is her noticeable absence from public view for more than five days. The situation has been further complicated by the circulation of what appear to be outdated photographs, shared by individuals perceived to be sympathetic to the current administration, but presented as though they were taken in real time. This has only deepened public suspicion and amplified calls for clarity. Against this backdrop of uncertainty, a Ugandan government aircraft designated for VIP transport landed in the United States just hours ago, again without any official explanation for its mission. The aircraft, registered as 5X-UGF, is a Gulfstream G550 operated by the Government of Uganda and commonly used for official state travel, including the transportation of President Yoweri Museveni. Flight tracking data from FlightAware (RAU2) indicates that the aircraft transited through Cape Verde before arriving in Savannah, Georgia, where it has remained on the ground for over 23 hours as of this report. Authorities in Uganda have yet to publicly disclose the purpose of this trip. The timing of the aircraft’s arrival, coupled with the lack of official communication, has only intensified public curiosity and speculation. Many are now questioning whether there is any connection between the reported health concerns of the First Lady and the unexplained presence of the state aircraft in the United States. As speculation continues to grow, key questions remain unanswered: Where is Janet Kataaha Museveni, and how credible are the claims surrounding her condition? Until authorities provide clear and verifiable information, uncertainty is likely to persist. YouTube -

Before she fled Uganda into exile, Stella Nyanzi had already collided head-on with the full force of Yoweri Museveni’s regime. Arrested, jailed, and publicly humiliated, Nyanzi became one of the most defiant and controversial voices challenging authority. In one of the most shocking incidents, she was detained over accusations of insulting the president’s mother—an episode that stunned observers and ignited fierce debate. When she finally left Uganda, many assumed exile would quiet her fire—that distance would soften her voice. They were wrong. Instead of retreating, Nyanzi escalated. Through bold, unapologetic poetry and relentless criticism, she continued to take aim at the regime, proving that exile had not silenced her—it had amplified her. Now, with questions swirling around the health of Janet Museveni—following claims by Proscovia Nalweyiso—Nyanzi has once again entered the spotlight. Resuming her provocative poetic attacks, she targets Janet Kataaha Museveni, a long-standing adversary, with words that both shock and captivate. As we examine some of her most striking poems, one message becomes impossible to ignore: this is more than personal rivalry—it is a warning. A warning to leaders who trample on democratic principles. You may drive your critics out of the country, but you cannot erase their voice, their talent, or their unyielding determination to challenge what they see as injustice. Exile, in Nyanzi’s case, is not silence—it is a louder stage. YouTube -

In an unprecedented moment, President Museveni was publicly confronted by a bold and unflinching Rebecca Kadaga during the NRM’s Central Executive Committee (CEC) elections at State House. The confrontation occurred as Kadaga, the former Speaker of Parliament, faced off with current Speaker Anita Among in the race for NRM Second National Vice Chairperson. Museveni attempted to deflect criticism and downplay Kadaga’s grievances—a move some have interpreted as gaslighting. Kadaga, however, did not hold back. She openly accused the President of betrayal, citing what she believes has been unwavering loyalty to him throughout her political career. It is widely believed that Museveni is backing Anita Among, which many see as part of a recurring pattern: using individuals for political gain, then discarding them when their influence fades. Kadaga, visibly upset, was offered an extra two minutes to speak—but refused to be cut short, firmly asserting, "Do not stop me." While I personally have no stake in who wins this position, this incident is yet another illustration of how Museveni maintains power through division and control. Watch the video below for the full exchange, along with my commentary. YouTube -

In a move that felt more like a vendetta than a vision, former NUP vice president Mathias Mpuuga re-emerged onto Uganda’s political scene—this time not with a mission to challenge the regime, but seemingly to dismantle the very opposition he once served. At the center of this dramatic comeback was Kampala Central MP Muhammad Nsereko, who took the stage not just to defend Mpuuga against the corruption guilt that led to his downfall, but to unleash a scathing tirade against Bobi Wine and the current NUP leadership. The occasion? The launch of Mpuuga’s new political vehicle, the Democratic Front, in Masaka District. But what should have been a platform to articulate a national agenda quickly morphed into a one-sided bashing session targeting NUP’s top brass. Nsereko went all in—lavishing Mpuuga with praise as the most intelligent and capable opposition leader Uganda has ever had, while painting the NUP as an amateurish, chaotic outfit. The irony? Despite his glowing endorsement of Mpuuga, Nsereko didn’t join the Democratic Front. Instead, he recently launched his own outfit—the Ecological Party—leaving many questioning whether this is a genuine political divergence or a coordinated front to isolate Bobi Wine from within the opposition. The message was loud and clear: their focus is not on dismantling Museveni’s grip on power. It’s on sidelining Bobi Wine. Every jab, every carefully worded attack, hinted at a power struggle within the opposition ranks. While Uganda still reels under the weight of authoritarian rule, Mpuuga and Nsereko appear more invested in weakening the strongest face of resistance rather than confronting the system itself. So the question looms large: Is this a new opposition movement, or just a calculated mission to fracture it from within? YouTube -

UPDF Armoured Division Commander Maj. Gen. Deus Sande died early Wednesday in Mpigi after reportedly falling ill while traveling to attend the funeral of Maj. Gen. Francis Takirwa in Kampala. As the army awaits post-mortem results—amid reports suggesting a possible heart attack—the news of his sudden death has sent shockwaves through the country. But beyond the official statements and condolences, another reaction quickly surfaced—one far more unsettling. Sections of the opposition flooded social media with celebratory messages, sharing old video clips in which the late general appeared to declare that the military was not prepared to hand over power to anyone. For some, his death was not a moment of mourning, but of vindication. I unequivocally reject the normalization of celebrating anyone’s death, regardless of political differences. Yet the disturbing public reaction raises uncomfortable questions. What level of anger, pain, or resentment must exist for people to greet death with applause? Was he viewed by some not merely as a military officer, but as a symbol of political repression? This episode exposes a nation dangerously polarized—where grief and gloating now coexist in the same public square. When political opponents are routinely labeled “terrorists” or “enemies of the state,” by Museveni, the language of dehumanization inevitably filters down into society. The result is a culture where empathy erodes and hostility thrives. If Uganda is to escape this cycle of bitterness, its leaders must set a different tone. Healing cannot begin in an atmosphere of contempt. The question is whether those at the helm are willing to lead that change—or whether the rhetoric that fuels division will continue to deepen the cracks in an already fractured nation. YouTube -
