MUSEVENI IS CORNERED; WORST VIOLENCE EXPECTED.
Uganda's military dictator, Gen. Museveni is seeking another five year to make 35 years hold on power. He is organising another round of sham electoral process that will as usual endorse his continued hold on power. He has always relied on bribery of impoverished voters, intimidation and violence by his security forces. His regime party is so fused with the state such that all the security forces, intelligence services, public servants, and local government structures are interwoven with his regime party. The opposition parties are competing with a fully composed state with all its apparatus intact. Civil society and political opposition groups have repeatedly been declared enemies of the 'state' and cruelty treated as such. Incumbent Museveni is competing with seven other presidential contenders. Among them are two of his leading challengers - Dr. Besigye and A mama Mbabazi. Earlier on he spent a lot of public resources on efforts to block Mbabazi's presidential bid in a scheme designed to have no one from the regime party contesting for the party flagbearership. That sole candidature project died a natural death because Mbabazi defied all forms of intimidation and opted to contest as an independent. He has pulled a number of both overt and covert following from the regime party thus it can be authoritatively stated that the regime party has two presidebtial candidates. Mbabazi has never denounced his membership of the regine party and the party has never expelled him. The violence exhibited during the regime party primaries was meant to eliminate suspected Mbabazi sympathisers. That is why despite having been charact
erised by killings, maiming and arsons, the regime never held anyone to account.
The scheme to deal a blow to Mbabazi and Dr. Besigye was delayed by the Pope's visit during the end of November 2015 for which Museveni wanted to create a false impression that all was fine in Uganda. In the same regard and as usual Museveni sought to hoodwink Ugandans and the world by declaring that he would accept defeat if he lost the elections and during the Pope's visit he even shook hand for the first time in 15 years with his archi political rival, Dr. Besigye. The unsuspecting Ugandans breathed a sigh of relief thinking that the crocodile hearted Museveni had now come to his senses. This blog had earlier warned that immediately after the Pope's visit, the regime was to unleash unprecedented terror on the leading opposition presidential contenders. Indeed, the regime orchestrated violence against candidate Mbabazi in Ntungamo district brought the wider scheme to the limelight. However, the Museveni goons were overpowered by Mbabazi's supporters and given a thorough beating. Ugandans who have endured state sponsored violence at the hands of these goons received the news of the resistance by Mbabazi supporters with joy, jubilation and chest stamping. For many years, the regime army, police, secret services, cadres, militias, paramilitary groups, police-backed club wielding goons dubbed Kiboko squad have physically assaulted, maimed, teargassed, arrested, detained and tortured dissenting Ugandans with impunity and without any fear of reprisals from their helpless victims. It is only last week that Ugandans regained hope that their tormentors can also feel the pain of being assaulted and wail like pigs the same way their victims have been wailing for decades. However, Museveni reacted by condemning and sentencing the Mbabazi supporters who acted in self defence: "Thugs attacked NRM supporters. They are being rounded up, you can not attack Ugandans. How can you attack NRM supporters in Uganda. If you put your finger in the anus of a leopard you are in trouble. They will regret it. We shall smash all that nonsense. We shall round them up." His reaction emphasises that violence should be a monopoly of his regime.
The blatant uncalled for use of the vulgar language unbecoming of a head of state clearly demonstrates the level of frustration in Museveni. Its also gives a clue to whoever is interested in knowing the author of of the sectarian video clip in which the Bairu are reffered to as human feaces. Indeed security forces are rounding up and kidnapping Mbabazi's supporters. If Museveni cares so much about those who are beaten by others, why can he deal with his own regime cadres who carried out the worst violence against their own during the regime party primaries that culminated into deaths, maiming and arsons? He should also have dealt with thpolice backed club bearing goons who have been beating up Ugandans for years. Just a week later the Deputy Speaker of parliament organised goons to attack and disrupt the Dr. Besigye campaign rally in Gulu. This particular attack was designed to test Dr. Besigye's defiance campaign. The resilient, determined and consistent Dr. Besigye has made it categorically clear that this time round he is to win by defiance and not compliance with the intimidation and rigging by the regime. His P10 (Power Ten) project that groups his supporters into clusters of ten voters throughout the country for vote guarding is taking root. This P10 coupled by the resolute massive following by Ugandans already exhibited at Dr. Besigye's campaign trail where ordinary voters are overwhelmingly offering moral, financial and material support to the cause of liberating Uganda is sending the regime panicking.
Museveni, through his Chief of the army has warned Dr. Besigye against the defiance campaign yet the constitution and the election law bars the army from indulging in the electoral process. Through the Chairman of the Electoral Commission, Museveni further declared: "I will approve the intervention of the army in order to neutralise the oppositio presidential flagbearer Dr. Besigye's defiance campaign. To further reinforce those threats, Museveni has repeated his usual intimidation thus: "....then you hear people say "Museveni must go". But go and leave oil money? They want me to go so they can come and spoil the oil money. These people want me to go back to the bush." Of course, Museveni knows very well that he can not afford to go back to the bush and fight moreover in the early 1980s it was just by luck and shear treachery that he gained the presidency. He has ever repeatedly declared that he can't hand over power to 'wolves'. His threats of going back to the bush simply means that he intends to unconstitutionally hold on to power by unleashing more terror on Ugandans. A few days earlier, he had threatened to arrest Dr. Besigye.
What is more clear is that Museveni is politically cornered. He has realised that his usual tricks of rigging through bribery, intimidation and ballot stuffing may not work for him this time round. The only option left for him is to unleash a fully blown violence against his challengers. He musty be in the process of designing and stage managing a terror plot that he will link to the opposition. That way, Dr. Besigye's P10 group will be declared a terrorist organization and consequently dismantled and outlawed. The youths who are currently being kidnapped and rounded up will be maximumly humiliated so as to deter others who intend to act in self defence against the regime excesses. Immediately after the 2015 festive season, violence is likely to escalate to that Museveni gets an excuse to publickly bring in the army. On the eve of the polling day, if it ever comes, Museveni will direct the Communication Commission (UCC) to disable all communication channels including the private radio and TV stations. Only the Police and army radio communication channels will be left intact to be used by the regime moreover it has already procured satellite phones for use by military and Police commanders. That way, the opposition who will have built a robust communication system to monitor, guard and relay election results from the grassroot to the top will be dealt a heavy blow. With lack of communication hampering coordination among opposition supporters, all their efforts will hit a dead end thus sending their supporters in disarray. Coupled by the heavy presence of the army, police, and militias on every inch of the country, Museveni's coup d'etat against Ugandans will have succeeded and he will be declared theWINNER
of the February 2016 poll. The coalition of the Willing (COWI) member states of Kenya and Rwanda will have placed their troop reinforcements to Museveni should the opposition mount some semblance of resistance. These foreign machineries will be stealthily sneaked into Uganda while dressed in Uganda army and police uniforms. Museveni will use the opportunity to completely suppress and subdue any form of political dissent thus sending meaningful political opposition into oblivion for the next few decades. He won't even allow a situation that favors a rerun of the polls.
However, the above ugly scenario can be overcome if leaders of the liberation struggle faced the reality about the nature of the people's enemy that they are confronting thus devise appropriate means of providing Ugandans with the necessary leadership for them to dismantle the dictatorship. Moreover, by accepting to take part in a fraudulent electoral process where even Museveni did not qualify to contest, they bear the burden of rescuing the country. Where there is a will, there is a way. Its either now or never.
