{UAH} THERE IS NO QUEUE IN THE STRUGGLE !

THERE IS NO QUEUE IN THE STRUGGLE !

I think this question is misleading and diverting us from the real question.

The struggle for change should be owned by the masses as a collective effort and not driven like a company in the private sector own by an individual.

We cherish strong institutions and strong leaders under the institutions .NOT STRONG RULERS ABOVE THE INSTITUTIONS. That's what people power entails and our major difference  from the NRM0!

Am one of those saying that  I , Dr Besigye and many others are part of the struggle we joined openly from 1999. We don't own the struggle,we are just part of it and we should  continue to play a role as the struggle continues;

If playing a role means we must be leading the struggle then we become  a new problem, a liability in the struggle and therefore Uganda's problem.

We should salute those that started the struggle and those that join it and bring new energy whenever they join and treat them as equal partners rather than looking at them as new comers . Unlike the NRM0 we have no QUEUE to remind comrades about. 

When people come up with new energy, new innovations and creativity for purposes of delivering the change we have been struggling for and ask us to embrace and join them they are not saying we should get out of the struggle .Lets not distort the call for purposes of negating it and creating unnecessary conflicts and inter opposition power struggle. Unless we are the misleaders Bobi Wine sang about.

In  1999 When Dr Besigye joined tied to offer leadership the NRM0 diehards led by John Patrick Amama Mbabazi (JPAM)  told him he was jumping them in the Queue. In 2016  when JPAM tried to lead the opposition Dr Kiiza Besigye and some FDC members told him you cant jump the Queue. Meaning that history had repeated itself, we had learnt nothing and forgotten nothing!!

In the 1999/2001 bid opposition leaders saw new energy , new vision in Dr Kiiza Besigye that would give a big forward push to the struggle against the NRM0. They gave him the mantle and wholeheartedly  gave him moral and material support. The question is can he reciprocate the gesture or he took their support for their weakness and for granted? 

The good doctor should have done better to call his younger brother in the struggle Hon  Bobi Wine Kyagulanyi Sentamu and discussed the PEOPLE POWER OUR POWER calling he is championing and the two could have agreed on how to cooperate and relate than going on the airwaves to preach negativity about the calling and claim  that he doesnt know what Bobi stands for and what his intentions are..

 

I have always seen Bobi humbling himself and visiting Dr Besigye  his elder brother in the struggle , the two have telephone contact and eyes are on Dr Besigye on whether he can reciprocate the respect that Bobi has always had  for him. This what will neutralize the row between supporters of the two leaders and foster cooperation  in time ahead of 2021 elections or any other undertaking by either camp earlies than that.

I know there is no fundamental problem between Bobi Wine and Dr Kiiza Besigye .

Mutual respect yields mutual benefit and peaceful coexistence.

We are very ready for this debate.

PEOPLE POWER OUR POWER. 

FUNA ENDANGAMUNTU. Its the first but not the only and last step in the right direction.
