On 16 February 2016, Kyagulanyi Ssentamu Robert (BOBI WINE) was interviewed by BBC World Service about the situation in #Uganda. “His Excellency, Mr. Bobi Wine, the Ghetto President”, sent a message to all Ugandans, leaders and voters emphasising his call for peace, tolerance and restraint from any acts of electoral violence. #Dembe #UgandaDecides2016 #PeacefulTransition The song “Dembe” (Ddembe) by Bobi Wine speaks to the importance of embracing peace and rejecting violence in Uganda. The opening lines reaffirm that the message in the song is about condemning violence and not promoting it, and this sentiment is seen throughout the rest of the lyrics. The Luganda refrain, “mbalaba abakubagana” is a metaphor for the harmful consequences of clashing, and how people can be hurt, injured, and even killed. It’s a call to action for listeners to reject violent conflict and how it could have dangerous effects on the country. The song takes on political implications as well by addressing the effects of political instability and corruption. The lyrics call out corruption, questioning why certain individuals are above the law and the government’s accountability to its citizens. The song calls for citizens to take action, demanding that they hold their leaders to a high standard and to ultimately embrace peace over violent conflict. The call to peace is especially important in a country like Uganda which has a history of political violence and civil unrest. _______________________________________________ DDEMBE (Released Jan 2016): We no promote no violence We condemn the violence Rasta no promote no violence; hear me out... Mbalaba abakubagana, abalumagana, abatemangana Mbalaba abavumagana mu kifo ky'okulungamya Omuntu eyandibaddewo okulungamya abavubuka Kati ate y'abakulembera mukukola obutabanguko Eh bino bwenabirabye natidde nnyo Okulwana mu bavubuka kususse nnyo Ng'ate abakulembeze kibaswaza nnyo Wamma abavubuka nze nsaba tukole bwetuti Nsaba okulonda kubeere kwaddembe Ah n'obuyinza bukyuke mu ddembe Bannayuganda mulonde mu ddembe Awo obulamu butunyumire Nsabye, okulonda kubeere kwa ddembe Ah n'obuyinza bukyuke mu ddembe Bannayuganda tubeere ba ddembe Ah n'omwaka gubanyumire Kuva ku “independence” tuli mu ntalo Ky'ekiganye ne Uganda okkula lwantalo Buli “government” eja nantalo Era baagala okugenda zibe nga ntalo Bakikola batya eri ebusukka nsalo Abakyusa awatali kulwana ntalo Lwaki temukitandika ba Ssebo?

The comments made in response to Mrs. Barbara (Barbie) Kyagulanyi’s testimony have raised profound questions about accountability, respect for human dignity, and the conduct of state actors. When a decorated general responds to allegations of assault with “We do not beat up women. They are not worth our time”, the issue is no longer just denial; it is dehumanisation and trivialisation of gender-based violence. Such responses, along with allied defenses that shift blame to foreign “pseudo-experts” or meddlers, evade substantive engagement with the reported facts and further sideline the victim’s account. Mrs. Kyagulanyi (Barbie Kyagulanyi) has provided a detailed, coherent, and public account from her hospital bed of the events of 23 January 2026: “dozens of armed men in military uniforms forcibly entered her family home, held her at gunpoint, strangled her until she lost consciousness, subjected her to physical assault and ethnic/political slurs, destroyed property, seized personal devices and security equipment, and demanded information about her husband’s whereabouts.” Her testimony aligns with reports of hospitalisation for physical injuries and psychological trauma. In this context, the general’s public statement does not constitute a full defence. By framing women as “not worth our time” while confirming that forces were searching for the husband, it inadvertently acknowledges state actors’ presence at the home yet offers no explanation for the reported forced entry, violence, property damage, or injuries. Such rhetoric trivialises serious allegations, dehumanises victims (particularly women), and undermines the seriousness of the claims. It is incompatible with the standards expected of public officials and members of the security services. This matter is not about political rivalry, online exchanges, or Western commentary versus African sovereignty. It is about the fundamental rights and safety of citizens in their own homes regardless of political affiliation, whether ruling party, opposition, or unaffiliated. It is about the rule of law, the protection of families (including non-combatant spouses), and the obligation of state institutions to act within constitutional limits. #Uganda’s civic space must be a place of justice, accountability, and safety; not fear or deflection. And in that space, Mrs. Kyagulanyi’s voice and testimony matter. Her body is not collateral, and her silence is not consent. The people of Uganda deserve and should demand: ▪️An independent and transparent investigation into the raid on the Kyagulanyi residence on 23 January 2026 ▪️Public accountability for any violations of bodily autonomy, property rights, and due process ▪️Release of any seized personal devices and security equipment to enable victims to document events and seek redress ▪️Independent medical evaluation and disclosure of findings related to the reported injuries and trauma ▪️A firm commitment from security agencies to uphold the dignity and safety of all Ugandans, without exception ▪️Responsible public communication from officials that centres victims and evidence rather than minimising suffering or resorting to dismissive language Ugandans deserve a country where no family lives in fear of unlawful force, where women are not demeaned in public discourse by those in authority, and where accountability is not optional. The events of 23rd January demand truth, not bravado; justice, not deflection. Let all citizens who seek a Uganda that’s governed by law, dignity, and respect for every human life stand together in unity and with one voice. #WomensRightsAreHumanRights #WomenSafety #HumanRights Human Rights Watch UN Women The Commonwealth National Unity Platform

Kyagulanyi Ssentamu Robert (BOBI WINE) will address the Geneva Summit #GenevaSummit2026 for Human Rights and Democracy on Wednesday, 18 February 2026 by video. In 2022, Bobi Wine spoke about the situation in #Uganda at the 14th Annual Geneva Summit for Human Rights and Democracy: “It wasn’t just me challenging General Museveni. We had awoken an entire generation. For the first time, there were no tribal lines, no class lines or religious lines. We were speaking as ONE huge voice. Thousands of people showed up to rally around our slogan: ‘People Power Our Power’. It was the biggest public phenomenon I had ever seen. I had been a celebrity. I had done hit songs. I knew what it was like to be famous- to have people chanting your name but this was different. In this campaign, we spoke to the hearts of the people. Uganda will never be the same again. The day of the election, I cast my ballot in the morning and went home immediately. Hundreds of military personnel surrounded my house and our party head office. And then, all across the country, they shut down the internet. They shut down any radio stations which dared to report on the election. In this complete blackout, Museveni declared himself winner of the election. International authorities challenged the results – saying that there was clear evidence of voter intimidation, interference, and fraud. Museveni imposed himself on the nation, and I remained under house arrest for eleven days. It’s not an exaggeration to say that my life is at stake. I wasn’t even sure I would make it to this day. But I am here to tell you, with full clarity and conviction, that Museveni is NOT the leader you think he is. The international community already recognised that the January 2021 election was neither free nor fair. It is important that these words are followed by action. First, stop shaking Museveni’s blood-stained hands through funding and cooperation. Two, impose sanctions on him and the people he deploys to torture and murder our people. Three, support our demands for accountability for the crimes against humanity he has committed against the people of Uganda.” _______________________________________________ VIDEO: Bobi Wine on Human Rights in Uganda — United Nations Opening, 2022 Geneva Summit ||

PART 4 of Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu’s (BOBI WINE’s) interesting life story on #BBSMubuufu: Continuation of his chat with ‘Omugole’ Stellah Nandawula (Stellah N. Ssendagire) at his beautiful family home in Magere, Kyadondo, in Wakiso District. Bobi Wine says his life was impacted by 𝗘𝗰𝗰𝗹𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝟭𝟭:𝟵 which reads, “𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲, 𝗲𝗻𝗷𝗼𝘆 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵. 𝗕𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗴. 𝗗𝗼 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁'𝘀 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗿𝗲. 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗚𝗼𝗱 𝗶𝘀 𝗴𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗷𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼.” He spoke about his music career, the Firebase Army, and how he embraced his portrayal as the “Ghetto President”. Bobi Wine initially thought he could influence events through his music but slowly came to the conclusion he had to become directly involved in politics to represent the interests of the ghetto. “If parliament cannot come to the ghetto, the ghetto will come to parliament.” He also spoke about how he rose from the Ghetto to Parliament; “nga atandika okulengera mu ssowaani z’abakulu”. This was a major turning point in his life and the price for making this life-changing decision [stepping into the political arena] was/is very high. Thank you, mwebale nnyo BBS TEREFAYINA for this #Sunday’s #Mubuufu.
