{UAH} Delusional anti-Rwanda conspiracies spew out of Museveni’s intelligence services

The Kampala regime, desperate to spin its political troubles away, once again tries to drag Rwanda into their internal affairs. First Chimpreports, one of the numerous outlets of misinformation on the payroll of Ugandan Military Intelligence, CMI, claims that "Rwanda meddled in Ugandan elections", but cites no facts. Matters continued when Trumpetnews – an outlet on the payroll of Internal Security Organization (ISO) and managed by one Nicolas Mwesigwa – on Tuesday posted a story titled: "Inside Rwanda's plan to aid Bobi Wine, Tumukunde to potentially topple Gen. Museveni during elections."

Trumpetnews too provides nothing to support its claims. Their article, just like the Chimpreports one before it, claims, "Museveni sternly warned a country in the region (which means Rwanda and which Trumpetnews says as such) against interfering in the Uganda's affairs." Here already we can see Museveni's usual scapegoating of Rwanda for crimes he himself perpetrates.

In a bid to make their boss sound convincing, Trumpetnews (and other Kampala websites of misinformation) came up with the claim that "Museveni's stern caution follows a number of arrests of Rwandan agents who were netted on the eve of the January 14 elections." It is a shoddily constructed fabrication.

If indeed there were Rwandan agents arrested why weren't they displayed to the media? Who are they anyway? one would ask. They are faceless and nameless. In other words they are a fiction. The recent record of Kampala's security organs victimizing Rwandan nationals, just because they are Rwandans, attests to this. If some Rwandans have been arrested, one can be certain those unfortunate people are like hundreds upon hundreds that in the recent past have fallen victim to arbitrary arrests, harassment, illegal detention, and torture by Ugandan security organs – most notably the Chieftaincy of Military Intelligence (CMI).

None of them is ever produced in court for the authorities to prove the accusations – ever since 2017 when Kampala stepped up its hostile stance against Rwanda and Rwandan people. Not a single individual that Kampala has accused of being a Rwandan spy, or agent has ever been given a chance for the public to hear their side of the story.

President Museveni created the narrative of "Rwandan agents" or "spies" or "kidnappers" out of thin air to provide justification for his own policy of hostility against Kigali in which he enrolled various terrorist groups, chief of them being RNC of Kayumba Nyamwasa, as proxies in his plot to destabilize Rwanda. The Ugandan ruler's talent at gaslighting is such that after creating this fictitious narrative of "Rwandan spies", or "Rwandan agents infiltrating Uganda", is the very narrative he utilizes to turn Rwanda into a scapegoat for problems created by him.

Trumpetnews, in a bid to sound credible, concocts a story that "Rwandan agents smuggled 20,000 satellite phones into Uganda in support of Ugandan opposition members." The propaganda outlet also blames Rwanda for the opposition election tally software, U-vote, which is currently giving alternative electoral results.

"These lies are just ridiculous," even a Ugandan-based political journalist remarked, on condition of anonymity. "First they said Rwanda smuggled arms, then they said Rwanda was sending money, now they say satellite phones. But we've never seen one of these Rwandans!"

The analyst noted that satellite phones can be legally purchased in Kampala and even gave an address. "Just go to Gilat Telecom Uganda Ltd, in Bugolobi Kampala and order as many satellite phones as you want!" he laughed. The propaganda becomes more and more ridiculous.

A man like Tumukunde, said to be on the payroll of Salim Saleh, is thrown into the anti-Rwanda allegations.

"Please, whether Kyagulanyi, or Tumukunde, those are Ugandan affairs for Ugandans to decide, don't drag us into your mess," said an informed reader in Kigali.
