Uganda: A Dictatorship In Free Fall
Heil! Gen. Museveni -- a dictatorship in freefall
Uganda: A Dictatorship In Free Fall
[Africa Commentary]
The Ugandan dictator, Gen. Yoweri Museveni, is a very worried man as his regime continues its free all.
His 35-year old iron-rule in Uganda, backed all these many years by the U.S. and U.K., is coming to an end, and there is nothing he, Museveni, can do at this belated hour to prevent his self-inflicted political demise.
Museveni knows that the threat to his illegitimate rule is real and growing, but forcing innocent citizens to pin down General David Sejusa as the mastermind behind Museveni's problems is self-defeating.
For some while now, Gen. Yoweri Museveni and his repressive gang, who have been squatting in State House have been rounding up Ugandans from all walks of life and forcing them to point their fingers at the Free Uganda Chairman and former Head of Intelligence Services, General David Sejusa, and also at Dr. Kizza Besigye and other opposition leaders.
The latest to fall victim to Museveni's evil machinations is Hon Member of Parliament for Nakawa, Michael Kabaziguruka, who having spent several months in the notorious Kigo prison, accused of treason and planning to overthrow the Museveni regime by force of arms, has now confessed to have been forced to sign a document implicating General Sejusa in treasonous activity. According to Kabaziguruka, he was threatened with torture and made to sign a statement alleging that General Sejusa "was involved in subversive activities" and that he, Kabaziguruka, "was aware and didn't take steps to inform the minister as the Penal Code Act says."

In recent times, General Sejusa has also been featured in a multitude of other cases, most prominent of which were the treason cases where a number of young army and intelligence service operatives were paraded before Museveni's kangaroo courts and declared guilty of treason for supposedly working for General Sejusa in an apparent plot to overthrow the Museveni regime.
Accusing General Sejusa, and other leaders like Dr. Kizza Besigye is futile and self-defeating:
Accusing General Sejusa for being responsible for Museveni's weakness and the evidently impending defeat is self-defeating because Museveni is, without doubt, the main architect of his own problems.
He, Museveni is the architect of his own doom and approaching demise. He is the one responsible for the fast-collapsing economy; for the lack of medicines and cancer machines in Ugandan hospitals; for the collapse of the educational systems, with children now studying under trees, and millions of them not even able to access any schools.
Museveni cannot blame his woes on General Sejusa or other freedom struggle leaders, like Dr. Besigye, Mr. Amama Mbabazi, Mr. Mao Nobert, etc. Are they the ones who have made over 83 per cent of Ugandan youths unemployed?
When Museveni was sitting by, enjoying the luxury of his presidential jets, expensive Mercedes Benzes and sharing the stolen loot with his own family and his cronies, while Ugandan youths were left to suffer in poverty with no jobs, no education and no hope for a future under Museveni's rule, where did he, Museveni, think the embittered youths were going to channel their volcanic anger and frustrations?
By blaming General Sejusa of causing his problems and taking the country into revolt, Museveni is blaming the wrong man. It is not General Sejusa or indeed Dr. Kizza Besigye who created an unsustainable economic environment, where Crane bank and other exceedingly fragile Ugandan banks and financial institutions are now closing shop at an unstoppable pace. It is Museveni and his cronies who have long been draining the banks off their cash and senselessly blowing all the looted money on bribes in exchange for supporting the NRM party, a Museveni life presidency and the now aborted 'Muhoozi project'.
That all the major Ugandan banks and financial institutions should close down without any remedies, and Ugandan hospitals, universities, colleges and schools should go so broke in such haphazard manner, is the direct result of Mr.. Yoweri Museveni and his close relatives and friends digging their hands in the coffers to finance their lavish life styles and excesses.
Was it General Sejusa who stole money from Ugandan banks and used it to rig elections and accomplish a coup against the Ugandan people?
Museveni must stop blaming other people for the nationwide economic graveyard he has been creating across 35 years of abhorring mismanagement of the Ugandan economy.
Gen. Museveni has been writing his own suicide note for over three decades, and it was just a matter of time before the ghosts of the dead and the anger and explosive frustration of the living caught up with him.
The People of Uganda were bound to reach a point when they could no longer play victim, but instead organize and mobilize themselves to free themselves and their Motherland from tumbling into the abyss.
Museveni must now grapple with a matured People's Revolution that can no longer be stopped by bullets and tear gas, or rampart arrests, torture and systemic mass murders.
Given the gravity of the problems facing Ugandans, be they political or economic, the People's Struggle is not only inevitable, but at its apex any such Struggle becomes self-propelling and utterly indestructible.
The people's freedom struggle, in its most mature phase, becomes impossible to quash, even by the mightiest army in the world, because the crumbling dictatorship starts to cannibalize itself from within, at the same time as the People's liberation struggle begins to transform into a powerful tool that is aware of its own mighty strength but whose strength then enables it to ably gallop away towards the moment of victory.
Museveni knows that his gangster regime is facing an existential threat as the people's struggle heads for victory. In his desperation, Museveni has fallen back to his well-rehearsed fascistic practices of arresting and torturing the country's citizens and forcing them to confess to political crimes they have not committed.
That innocent Ugandan civilians and military operatives should be forced and tortured to pin down General David Sejusa as the brains behind the problems facing Museveni shows how frightened the broken dictator has become of the People's struggle and why his hold onto power is all but finished.
The Struggle Continues.
