Six weeks into his disappearance from public view, Bobi Wine has yet again resurfaced in a gripping interview from an undisclosed location, this time speaking to Channel 4 News. The opposition figure, still in hiding, delivered a defiant and uncompromising message. He firmly rejected any prospect of dialogue with...

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

Sometimes I sit down and ask myself: what kind of metal was used to make Dr. Kizza Besigye? Here is a man who is financially secure, with investments, highly educated, a retired military officer, and married to an internationally respected wife. He has a family and every reason to choose a quiet life, yet he has never surrendered or stopped fighting for what he believes is the liberation of Uganda. From the day he declared that he would challenge his former friend for the presidency in 2001, he has faced countless political battles. He has survived death threats, rape allegations, repeated arrests, the loss of family members, and the loss of close friends in the struggle. Through it all, he has never given up. Truth be told, I even fear his level of resilience. What many people dismissed as “just another arrest” has, over nearly two years, turned into a life-threatening ordeal. Yet every time he appears before a judge, he still carries himself with remarkable courage. Looking at his actions, one gets the impression that he would rather lose his life than surrender his principles. Whether one agrees with his politics or not, very few people could endure what Dr. Besigye has endured. Many people, when faced with such pressure, would plead guilty for a lighter sentence or negotiate with those responsible for their arrest. He has chosen a different path. Personally, I know I would have surrendered long ago. We may never see another Besigye in our lifetime. People can debate his politics, but his endurance, conviction and willingness to sacrifice for what he believes are qualities that are undeniably rare. Even at his age, he continues to shake the most powerful tables May God keep you alive to witness the fulfillment of everything you believe in. May your faith, hope and perseverance be rewarded. Amen.

After threatening to shut down NTV and the Daily Monitor, Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba may have expected fear and silence. Instead, Uganda's most prominent media houses appear to have called his bluff. In what many viewed as a direct challenge to the country's Chief of Defence Forces, NTV's evening news bulletin revisited a series of controversial incidents in which Muhoozi has been accused of openly boasting about kidnappings, illegal detentions and other actions that critics say violate the law. The broadcaster posed a question that is increasingly being asked across the country: Is Muhoozi Kainerugaba above the law? The Daily Monitor has also continued reporting on the controversy despite the threats, setting up a confrontation that many Ugandans never expected to see. For years, critics have accused powerful figures in government of operating with impunity, but now major media institutions appear unwilling to simply look away. The bigger question is what happens next. Will Muhoozi back down from his threats, or will he attempt to act on them? Can a military officer, regardless of rank, decide which media houses are allowed to operate and which ones are not? And what does it say about the state of Uganda when journalists and media organizations find themselves in a public standoff with the country's top military commander? To many observers, this is no longer just a dispute between Muhoozi and the media. It is becoming a test of whether the rule of law still matters, whether freedom of the press can survive political intimidation, and whether powerful individuals can be held accountable for their actions. In this commentary, I examine the growing confrontation between Muhoozi Kainerugaba and Uganda's independent media and what it means for the future of the country. YouTube -
