{UAH} THE UNUSUAL OPPOSITION LEADER!

Friends

 

The entire fracas starts with Dr Kiiza Besigye being addressed as a leader of opposition, when we all know the man has never stood in any constituency and got elected.  You know as these pieces keep on coming up, I have started to wish Besigye to lead you guys, so that you realize why some of us scramble for these minor details in building a democratic society.

 

But you see we also failed to agree with any of you that Museveni is in Luwero for he is a dictator. You interpreted that sentence to mean that we are UPC  members and supporter of Obote's government, yet we were only warning you what you are actually gazing at today.  No man can have democratic principles when he ever decides to come to power through a gun. Good Lord even the Americans have failed to put democracy in Afghanistan, for they went in with guns than using their power to push for a democratic government in Afghanistan. Even if American stay in Afghanistan for the next 100 years, the day they will leave The Taliban's will walk right back into power.  So why would anyone except Museveni to be a democratic man? Dr Kiiza Besigye is trying to lead Uganda through the very exact bad doors that Museveni used.  Yet you expect better and different results?   Good Lord  !!!!!! At this particular moment, if Besigye believes that Ugandans love him, I am challenging him to stand in any Uganda constituency and get elected as an MP. And Dr Besigye here is an advice to how you can stand for an election, get one of the FDC MPs to stand in parliament and state that he wants to resign due to family issues. By law the electoral commission will establish a by election in that constituency. Go in and stand and let us see what comes out, I am simply sick and tired of Ugandans that build dictators in our country when we are the ones paying the price. Preaching for Dr Kiiza Besigye right now, is building a tyranny for our country.

 

Dr Kiiza Besigye, stand up and get counted than the arrest kwarakwara.                                       ->And Kwarakwara so it is.

Freinds,

Warren Kizza Besigye Kifefe is now in Luzira prison after the controversial 2016 presidential elections. Besigye who is widely credited with being a co-author of the defiance campaign, is to go on trial on treason charges.If convicted, he faces decades in prison or death penalty.

Reform is like the heat devil on a hot desert road and Besigye is a demonstration of the reformation and evolution of a human life. He's a vivid illustration of how an individual can completely revolutionize himself with nothing aside from will power, work, and belief.He's has been opposing Mr.Museveni since the 1990s and he has not relented in his efforts to get rid of his government at all. He has never been convicted of anything but he has been arrested more times than any other person in Uganda's history.

He resonates with the school children, poor, market traders, business men, prisoners, unemployed, the sick, criminals and nihilists because they see him as their would be savior. But, with his own hands, drive and mind, he has remodeled himself into the type of leader Uganda needs and has not yet seen. And even while holding that perch, he has never been heard under minding publicly any of the other leaders in the opposition. He respects them because he is one of them. And understands their struggle because that very struggle has shaped him into the most powerful voice in this century.No other opposition leader stands a chance in an election right now as long as Besigye is a candidate. He even seems to be more powerful than the FDC itself where he holds no official executive position.

A lot of people have learned tremendously from his unyielding commitment to social justice, how he has fought for democracy since the bush war in Luwero, and the depth of his personal sacrifice to advance the interests of the marginalized. I have never met nor spoken to him but am awed by the transformative power of his otherworldly will. You have to salute a man who is arrested day in day out while his supporters are watching and doing nothing, but then he gets the guts to continue with the struggle.

The 'Ugandans-will-walk-with-swag' comment during the presidential debates is still giving millions hope that change is coming as it did when he first made it. Our domestic political system is built so that the government is rather like a one-legged dog(one-man running the show), operating and carrying the weight of the whole body, so that the dog is always stumbling and going in circles; and our public life consists largely of gathering in the streets or social media to watch the dog stumble about and sometimes biting us helplessly, and of pointing at him, and laughing, and making unpleasant jokes, and blaming the opposition whenever the dog falls on his face. Unfortunately, one could easily be labelled an enemy of the state if you keep pointing and laughing at the stumbling one-legged dog on a street!
