CHANGE OF GUARDS - During his nap address on COVID-19 last evening, Museveni started by showing stitched news clips of the situation in Brazil, South Africa, USA and Germany. His plan was to deliver a psychological blow to his audience ahead of his usual deceptive assertions and blatant lies. Throughout his address, he made no mention of the situation in the neighbouring countries.  Moreover, he has always been asserting that the infections have been spreading into Uganda from these neighbouring countries. Tanzania, in particular, was a target of his propaganda machinery that initially portrayed Tanzania as the regional epicentre of the COVID-19 pandemic. His chief propagandist, Andrew Mwenda, took the lead in the wide circulation of video footage purported to show mass burials of  COVID-19 victims in Tanzania. Regions along Uganda's border stretch with Tanzania were blacklisted. The scapegoating was just because Tanzania has refused to implement a total lockdown with its President, Dr. John Pombe Magufuli, describing a lockdown as "copy and paste" from the West.

At the outbreak of the pandemic, Tanzania put in place reasonable measures like closure of schools, social distancing and regular washing of hands, wearing of face masks and sanitising. Tanzania did not close places of worship, pubic transport, business premises etc. Tanzania has since opened schools eased up most of the minor restrictions. Just two days ago, its President publicly declared a Covid-19 free Tanzania.  He said;

    "We decided to pray to God to save us from Corona Virus. God has answered our prayers.  Tanzania is safe and that is evident by the many airlines that are bringing in tourists. The good thing is that people have started to understand the reality that Tanzania is a safe place. Our enemies will speak a lot, but the reality remains that Tanzania is safe and that is why none of us here is putting on a mask. Does it mean we are not afraid of dying. No, it's because Corona Virus has been eliminated."

In DRC, the country's President has announced the lifting of the four months State of Emergency.  The lifting saw the end of the ban on public transport, social gatherings and social gatherings.  Schools and universities are to reopen on August 3 while places of worship, airports, International borders and stadiums will reopen on August 15. Museveni has been opening the borders and luring the so-called refugees from the DRC to enter Uganda.
 
With globalisation, Ugandans are following what is happening in Tanzania and DRC with regard to the COVID-19 pandemic. Coupled by the initial sustained propaganda campaign against Tanzania, Ugandans are wondering as to whether its Corona Virus is different from that of its neighbors. Ugandans also need answers as to whether Museveni's so-called successful fight against the virus can be sustained without its neighbors reciprocating. It would therefore be prudent that before jumping to Brazil, South Africa and the USA, Museveni should brief Ugandans about the situation at a regional level.
