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 faΓ§ade 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 peopleβmassacres, 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 needsβhospitals with doctors and equipment, schools that actually educate, and protection from armed herdsmen trampling their landsβMuseveni’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 displaysβthey deserve justice, dignity, and the chance to rebuild their lives.

Dear President Yoweri Museveni,
At the Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week 2025, an event dedicated to envisioning a sustainable future, you stood before a global audience with a unique opportunity to showcase Ugandaβs readiness to tackle pressing challenges like climate change, renewable energy adoption, and sustainable agriculture.
Instead, you veered off course, delivering a disjointed history lesson that transported listeners to β1900β and beyondβa time far removed from the urgent realities of today.
What could have been a moment to position Uganda as a forward-thinking nation ready to lead in sustainability became an exercise in self-indulgence. You spoke of colonial economic structures and the early days of Ugandaβs interaction with the world, bypassing the purpose of the gathering entirely.
The audience had assembled to discuss innovation, collaboration, and solutions, but your speech reflected a leader more intent on glorifying his version of history than addressing the future.
Particularly perplexing was your relentless attack on former leader Idi Amin. Referring to him as βan illiterate colonial sergeant,β you dismissed his tenure outright, ignoring aspects of his leadership that, despite his many flaws, contributed to promoting Ugandan economic independence.
This irony is not lost on the worldβcoming from a leader who has held onto power for nearly four decades, using authoritarian means to maintain control.
By 2025, it is no longer a secret that Museveni – you have never undergone any form of military training which also explains your behaviour, mannerisms and attitudes (if you know- you know).
Donβt be fooled- being the face of FRONASA which later became NRM does not in any way make you a soldier. We have seen revolutionary movements led by civilians like Eduardo Chivambo Mondlane – founder of the the Mozambican Liberation Front (FRELIMO), Julius Kambarage Nyerere – the founding member and Chair of the Tanganyika African National Union (TANU) party, and of its successor, Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM), Laurent Desire Kabira, Comrade Robert Mugabe or even Nelson Mandela (May their souls continue to rest peacefully).
The main difference is that you are a civilian who claims to be a soldier yet you have never shown interest to be trained.
Youβre a cunning and treacherous power-hungry criminal. Thus, you have no moral authority whatsoever to undermine a highly trained elite special forces Para-Commando at the level of Idi Amin Dada (Rest in Peace).
As for your speech, it wasnβt just a missed opportunity; it was emblematic of a much larger issue. Ugandaβs potential is immense, yet it remains stifled by a leadership that prioritizes personal legacy over national progress.
The countryβs natural resources are exploited with little accountability, political dissent is silenced, and young Ugandansβwho hold the keys to innovation and resilienceβare denied meaningful opportunities to shape their future.
For a leader who rarely travels abroad in recent years, this was your chance to demonstrate that Uganda is a willing and capable partner in sustainable development. Instead, you showcased an outdated obsession with history and a failure to embrace the challenges and possibilities of the modern era.
Ugandaβs youth, the true custodians of the nationβs future, deserve leaders who inspire with visions of innovation and resilience, not divisive rhetoric or echoes of the past. At a time when the world is looking for hope and collaboration, you offered neither.
It is time to ask: when will Uganda be freed from the oppressive echo of its history? When will its voice rise above the constraints of a single individualβs ego and embrace a collective vision for progress?
President Museveni, Ugandaβs future hangs in the balance. The world is moving forwardβwill you let Uganda move with it?
