{UAH} GEN. SEJUSA COULDN'T MISS OUT ON A HOT CAKE SUBJECT-GAYS

SPECIAL COMMUNICATION
FROM FUF MEMBER,
GENERAL DAVID SEJUSA ON
MUSEVENI's CYNICAL
POLITICKING USING THE
ANTI-HOMOSEXUALITY BILL.
Subject: The Anti-Gay Bill
19/2/2014

Fellow Ugandans
Today, I wish to address
three main issues. The first
one concerns the ongoing
debate and the ultimate
decision of Mr Museveni to
sign into law the Ant-
homosexual bill.
The second issue concerns
Mr Museveni's decision to
take sides in the conflict in
South Sudan.
And lastly I touch on the
state of the African
countries and what it means
for our future as a people.
In the near future, I will
inform all Ugandans on the
practical steps being taken
to defeat the Museveni
regime. The resistance forces
are working.

FREEDOM AND UNITY FRONT
POSITION

The Chairman of The
FREEDOM AND UNITY
FRONT, Prof Amii Omara
recently had an interview
with VOA on the issue of the
Anti-gays bill about to be
signed by Mr Museveni. He
appealed to all, especially
the international community
not to give in to the
Museveni Bullying.
Let me say that FUF fully
understands the cultural
setting of this debate and
also appreciates the feelings
of those many who may
detest homosexuality.
Having said that, however,
FUF recognises the need for
governments to approach
such issues that divide
opinions and affect rights of
its citizens with uttermost
sincerity devoid of political
opportunism.
FUF recognises how emotive
such issues that border on
matters of social
construction such as gender,
sexuality etc. within the
contexts of culture, religion,
social organisation and
political activism can be.
That is why leaders must
exercise able leadership
when handling such issues.

CONTEXT

First, we need to understand
the context in which this
issue is being pushed and
determined. It is at a time
when Mr Museveni and a
few of his henchmen find
themselves increasingly
isolated both locally and
internationally. They are
finding it hard to manoeuvre
through the ever shrinking
political space in which they
find themselves now.
Therefore all populist
actions/decisions by the
regime for short term
political gains but which are
potentially damaging in the
long term must be exposed
and our people empowered
to be on guard.
The oppressor uses these
short term populist agendas
to gain political capital
which if not detected and
resisted end up enslaving
the people in the long term.
We therefore need to be
very careful.
Therefore, the current
debate on the Anti-gay bill
and the deliberate targeting
and positioning of gay
people at the centre of a
hate campaign orchestrated
by Mr Museveni and his
group of political
opportunists must be
questioned and the motive
behind it exposed. This is
important because it goes to
the very foundation of the
struggle for individual
freedoms in a society and
also underlines the question
of principles and ethics on
which leaders should be
judged. For, as governments
become stronger, so does
the space of individual
freedoms shrink. So the
battle for individual
freedoms is a struggle that
defines the ever existing
struggle between
governments and the people
they govern, who in the first
place hold all the power.
RIGHT AND WRONG/SATAN
OR GOD; PROTECTION OF
CHILDREN, SOCIETY ETC
We must also note that the
dictatorship has tried to
frame the homosexual
debate as an issue between
wrong and right, of Satan
and God; as a struggle to
safeguard our children etc.
On the surface of it, these
are noble intents and for
those not accustomed to the
workings of a dictatorship,
they can easily cheer and go
along, like when many
cheered when Mr Museveni
duped the country and
removed term limits only for
us to be stuck with an aging
dictator, and also like when
his hero now, Idi Amin,
overthrew Obote in a
military coup and thousands
of our country men and
women went on streets to
cheer him, only to be
devoured by his
government.
Therefore, for those in the
know, Museveni's intentions
are opportunistic, calculated
and cleverly timed for
political capital at the time
his rule is under siege. So
for all those high sounding
reasons he is giving, Mr
Museveni is lying, as usual
of course.

OPPORTUNISM
He is an opportunist and
manipulator. It's about the
Pentecostal lobby, about the
unsuspecting Christians and
Muslim voters; and he is
now trying to neutralise
Speaker Rebecca Kadaga's
own popularity by riding the
same issue at the time he is
fighting internal wars within
his National Resistance
Movement, or what is
remaining of it. But
perhaps, most important,
his major aim is to put in
place a bad law to use
against the opposition like
he tried to use the rape law
against Dr Besigye,
something the head of CID
at the time, police officer
Elizabeth Kutesa confessed
to before court.

PROTECTION OF CHILDREN

For instance, on the issue
that that law is intended to
protect children, you
wonder why a president
would imagine that we need
to protect our children in
schools against homosexuals
mostly or even only, as if it
is alright for heterosexuals
to abuse our children. It
does not matter whether the
abuser is heterosexual or
homosexual; the bottom line
is that children should not
be abused. So that law has
nothing to do with the
protection of children.
In any case, rape and
defilement of children have
been capital offences on our
statute books for some time
now. Therefore abuse of
children by homosexual
cannot be any worse than
by heterosexuals. So the
current Anti-gays bill that
Mr Museveni is running
around with is intended to
be a political weapon as he
gears to unleash terror on
leaders of the opposition
when the electoral process
hits up.
We also need to understand
that there are laws already
in place that cover all those
areas supposed to be
addressed by the new Anti-
homosexual law. So why this
law now? That is a question
I will answer in detail in my
subsequent article.

GENUINE CONCERNS OF
SOME OF OUR PROPLE

As we embark on the
struggle to expose Museveni
on this issue, we are also
aware about the genuine
concerns and views of some
of our people, the churches,
mosques, traditionalists etc.
on this issue of
homosexuality.
But as true leaders who
want social harmony and
political maturity as we
struggle for democracy and
people's individual rights, as
we struggle to free ourselves
from the current abuses
which far outweigh the now
over blown homosexual
problem, like the total
collapse of the Ugandan
state, we in FUF are ready
to engage in this debate
with all, in an atmosphere
devoid of all political
manoeuvring and
opportunism.

LEGAL MECHANISM FOR
FIGHTING OPPOSOTION

We, in FEPREEDOM AND
UNITY FRONT take the
lessons of history very
seriously. We therefore call
upon Ugandans to be careful
not to hand over an
undeserved victory, in form
of a law that Mr Museveni
will use to suppress
opposition leaders after
framing them. He lied under
oath (by proxy) that Dr
Besigye had raped a woman
called Kyakuwa, only for the
police/courts to expose his
direct hand in that treachery
and subversion of our legal
and electoral processes.
Today, with the dictator;
under intense pressure to
win the coming election at
all cost, every law you hand
to him, which has grey
areas, is God sent! Fellow
Ugandans, we must not play
along with the tricks of Mr
Museveni on this one.

A LETTER TO THE CLERGY
AND LAY LEADERS OF
DIFFERENT FAITHS

I am also writing an article
addressed to clergy and lay
leaders of different faiths in
Uganda. Soon it will be with
you. This is a potent issue
and therefore we all need to
study it and master the facts
and the falsehoods.
Museveni's opportunism
must be exposed.
But we also need to know
that dictators world over
have always used this issue
to try and recapture the lost
political space. But they lost
and he too will lose.

HOMOSEXUALITY HAS
NOTHING TO DO WITH RACE

Lastly, in my coming article,
I refute claims made by Mr
Museveni when he
arrogantly tries to associate
homosexuality with race.
When he tries to associate
homosexuality with the
white race, claiming that it is
being imported to Africa by
Europeans.
Whether there are interest
groups in Europe and
America involved in this is a
different issue which can be
explored. But what is
definitely wrong is to
associate homosexuality with
race categorisation. His wild
claims don't stand up to any
scientific or historical
scrutiny. Mr Museveni's
claims show sheer
ignorance.
Actually, between 1933 and
1945, between 50,000 and
65,000 homosexuals
perished in Nazi Germany.
Other people like Jean
Boisson think the figure was
much higher.

OTHER ISSUES

Mr Museveni's crimes in
South Sudan
I have also written an article
on the Museveni treachery
and dangerous
misadventures in South
Sudan, the problems facing
the South Sudanese new
state and Uganda due to
Museveni's misguided biased
intervention in support of
one side in what is clearly a
Civil conflict.

THE COLLAPSE OF THE
AFRICAN COLLONIAL STATE

(Neo-colonial state)
I also try to highlight the
pathetic state of the African
colonial states all over
Africa. Where almost half of
the African countries are
now being held together by
the old Imperial forces, as it
were, or their Capital
(money). Look at how many
countries in Africa are now
having French troops or
other West European troops
on their soils to suppress
discontent of the
inhabitants? From Sierra
Leone where the British
rushed to "save" it, to Mali,
CAR, Sudan, DRC, Cote
d'lvoire, Uganda,( note USA
sent marines to Uganda to
try and defeat Joseph Kony
and they are still there!) etc
etc etc! Many others are
being policed by foreign
forces in the name of UN
etc? Who pays for these
forces? Indeed, the Western
Powers of old still bankroll
all these operations from
Libya to Somalia, Congo,
Mali, etc etc etc! From North
to South. West to East.
The old colonial powers and
the new colonial overlords
on the scene now still
manufacture all the arms we
use to kill our people. They
still control the financial
institutions of the world as
did their grandfathers. They
still control the technology
and all the tools of science
as they did before
colonialism. These powers
control life in all African
countries through their
NGOs, Capital, technology
and multinational companies
just like the Imperial British
East Africa Company of the
1890s did during the
colonisation of East Africa
and others.
We hardly manufacture
anything. Africa still sells
primary products and
imports everything, from the
clothes we wear, which the
West makes from our cotton
which we export raw, to the
TOOTHPICKS we use made
from the shrubs of China
and India! We depend on
Aid to run our poorly run
schools and collapsed
healthy services. Yet the
apologists of the African
betrayal constantly refer to
the wonder growth on the
African continent. The GDP
of the entire Africa
continent is equal to that of
Germany which stands at
3.4 Trillion USD. Germany has
80 million people while
Africa has more than a
billion now and has more
resources and a surface area
almost thirty times!
Germany is 357,021 square
kms, while Africa is
30,221,532 square kms.
The GDP of Sub Saharan
Africa is a mere 1.290
Trillion (one point two
trillion) which is the GDP of
the state of Texas of USA.
These are the countries
whose leaders go and give
speeches on the United
Nations Podium and without
shame demand for a
permanent seat on the UN
Security council.
I read Mr Museveni warning
the West not to interfere
with his homosexual project.
That he will defeat them like
he has always done. Well,
those who Mr Museveni
postures to have fought and
defeated are planning to
land man on Mars and to
Land a Spaceship on a
Comet at 24,600MPH
(speed) after being to the
moon numerous times.
Yet, the greatest issue of life
and death according to
these African traitors is
homosexuality! That is what
occupies our Parliament,
our Mr president! Not how
to save the toiling African
from extinction because of
hunger, violence, wars,
disease, including jiggers
etc. Time to get our
priorities right Mr President.
With all this, do we still hear
Mr Museveni bashing the
old African chiefs? Posturing
to be fighting imperialism?
Really? What a shame! The
Musevenis of our time have
betrayed Africa. I hope
history will make them
account for their treachery
against the African peoples
and the black race.

THE HISTORICAL CONTEXT
OF THE AFRICAN FAILURE TO
DEFEAT COLONIALISM

FUF is coming up with an
Article which discusses, in a
comparative way, the quality
of the old African state and
the new post-colonial states.
We compare the economies,
for example the organisation
of economic activities like
manufacturing; delve into
areas of education and
health in the old African
states like in the old
Kingdom of Kush which was
producing Iron and other
metals between
2000-1500BC, or Ghana
empire by 830 AD, Bunyoro
Kitara, Buganda, Ethiopia
etc.
We also delve into their
failure to defeat the foreign
imperialist forces, but put
this failure within the wider
context of world power
politics, scientific
advancement and key
characteristics on the
movement of history. We
hope that these can show
that Africans can redeem
themselves and show
distinct footpaths in our
struggle to forge a new way.
The failure of the African
rulers of the time is then
juxtaposed with other
experiences in other parts of
the world like that of the
Roman conquest and rule of
Britain for 400 years (43
AD-410 AD). The conquest
and subjugation of the
Chinese by the Japanese.
The defeat and utter
devastation of the Chinese
dynasties, the entire Eurasia
(China, Korea, the Caucasus
and substantial parts of
Eastern Europe, Russia and
middle East) by the
Mongolian General Ghenghis
Khan who ruled between
1206 and 1227 AD.( He had
built the largest contiguous
empire in history, stretching
from China to Caspian sea in
a shorter period than Mr
Museveni has spent
fidgeting on his so called
dream empire of two
tribes!) By so doing, one is
able to expose Mr
Museveni's lack of grasp of
the dialectical dynamics of
history which explains his
many wrong prescriptions to
the African problems and his
own mistakes in Uganda and
the region.
We need to confront
ourselves with the hard
questions.
Has Africa recovered from
the thousands of years of
abuse it has endured over
the ages?
What would it take to turn
Africa round?
Can Africa survive under the
current political mayhem
and ideological bankruptcy
of some of its political class?
What fundamentals has
Africa got right that show it
can survive in the current
modern world of Man
destroy Man? And what next
for Africa?
Who thinks about these
issues, not through the
lenses of short term
personal gains, but through
lenses which clearly show
that the African and indeed
the black race, face a real
existential threat, the same
threat like the one the Black
race faced at the time of
slave trade and the
destruction of the then
African society and African
human identity and dignity?
