Senile Museveni forget Acholi is part of Uganda
Senile Museveni forget Acholi is part of Uganda
The Acholi sub-region is drowning in poverty and despair, yet the aging despot Museveni seems oblivious to the suffering of these Ugandan citizens. With 60% of the population in Acholi living in absolute poverty and education levels disastrously low, the glossy façade of Gulu City is nothing but a cruel illusion. Venture beyond its borders to places like Koch Lii village, and the harsh reality of Museveni’s neglect becomes painfully clear.
Since 1986, when Museveni clawed his way to power through violence in an election he didn’t win, Acholi has been ravaged by war and abandoned by those in power. Under his watch, both the LRA and his NRA/UPDF forces unleashed unspeakable horrors on the people—massacres, rapes, mass displacements, and the plundering of livestock. Decades later, Museveni’s regime has done nothing to compensate those who endured these atrocities. Instead, it continues to sow distrust by allegedly eliminating prominent Acholi leaders like General Lokech, Colonel Ochola, and the late Rt. Hon. Jacob Oulanyah.
Moreover, while the region cries out for basic needs—hospitals with doctors and equipment, schools that actually educate, and protection from armed herdsmen trampling their lands—Museveni’s regime has the audacity to spend UGX 5 billion on parliamentary extravagance in Gulu. This grotesque display of corruption only underscores how out of touch the regime is with the real, dire needs of the people.
Forests are being destroyed for charcoal, young girls are being forced into marriages by poverty-stricken families, and armed Balalo herdsmen, seemingly supported by the regime, are displacing communities and grazing cattle on land that belongs to the struggling wanainchi. The challenges facing Acholi are immense, yet Museveni’s government continues to treat them as an afterthought.
It’s high time the regime acknowledges the plight of the Acholi and takes real action to address the decades of neglect and abuse. Northern Uganda has suffered long enough under the weight of Museveni’s indifference and corruption. The people of Acholi deserve more than empty promises and flashy displays—they deserve justice, dignity, and the chance to rebuild their lives.

From smuggling foreigners as voters to hiring goons as supporters – Museveni goes insane ahead of next year’s poll
Uganda’s habitual mafia, conman and serial electoral thief, Yoseri Tibuhaburwa Kagutema, a.k.a. Museveni, is growing increasingly weary and desperate ahead of next year’s general elections in which we, as Ugandans are poised to democratically dismantle his four-decade-long junta by voting him out.
For instance, over the past weekend, this power-hungry tyrant paid off hundreds of Kampala’s well known street goons and bandits to gather at NRM headquarters as he picked up nomination forms, hiring them to come up with staged manifestation pretending to be his staunch supporters.
This desperate spectacle aimed to deceive both local and international observers into believing that Museveni remains Uganda’s “favourite” candidate.
The most interesting part is that the aging treacherous mafia in Museveni ended up deceiving himself.
The charade quickly backfired on the ageing tyrant and his junta’s sycophants. The hired goons, disgruntled after not receiving the promised payments, turned on the city, assaulting bystanders, looting shops, robbing and raping innocent citizens in broad daylight.
This debacle came on the heels of yet another scandal, in which Museveni was caught red-handed orchestrating the fraudulent registration of Kenyan and Congolese nationals from the border areas as NRM members, with the intent of using them as ghost voters in the upcoming general elections.
The scheme was exposed in early May this year when foreign recruits, clearly non-Ugandans, turned up to participate in NRM village-level elections in multiple areas near the borders with Kenya and the DRC. They were shamelessly registered as legitimate party members, fully prepared to cast votes for Museveni in the presidential election.
Hiring goons to pose as supporters and smuggling foreigners to rig the vote are all desperate tactics from a regime well aware that Ugandans have already given Museveni and his NRM a red card.
Since seizing power in 1986, this greedy dictator has never won any free or fair election. His illegitimate forever hold on power has been maintained through coercion, militarism and the systematic erosion of political freedoms.
Power-hungry criminal Museveni is indeed, flogging a dead horse. His downfall is imminent and evidently, it’s just of time.
