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 faรงade 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 peopleโmassacres, 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 needsโhospitals with doctors and equipment, schools that actually educate, and protection from armed herdsmen trampling their landsโMuseveni’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 displaysโthey deserve justice, dignity, and the chance to rebuild their lives.

The numbers are brutal. The 2026 Nations Inquiry Country Index places Uganda in the bottom third of the world in nine of the 14 areas measured.
Our country, Uganda ๐บ๐ฌ ranks 172nd of 196 countries on Development and Human Capital, 157th of 200 on Health and Wellbeing, 157th of 184 on Food and Agriculture, and 155th of 198 on Democracy and Civil Liberties.
These rankings should be an embarrassment to a government that has spent decades telling the world about development and transformation.
They raise a simple question: after all these years, why does a country with people, land, resources and potential continue to perform so poorly in so many fundamental areas?
Imagine a county ruled by one dictator for over 40 years who now has run out of excuses and cannot continue presenting himself as the solution to problems which he caused during his (mis)rule deliberately, just to cling on power.
At some point, longevity seizes to appear like evidence of some sort of stability but becomes tangible evidence of political failure and turmoil.
The foreign octogenarian Museveni has had more than enough time to transform Uganda (if he ever wanted to);
Instead, he has presided over a political system increasingly organised around his continued occupation of power. The question we should be asking is no longer whether Museveni has survived another election.
It is what Uganda has received in return for giving one man such extraordinary control for so long.
That should destroy the myth that political longevity automatically produces institutional stability. Genuine stability does not depend on one ageing ruler remaining in office.
It depends on institutions, laws and democratic systems that can survive the departure of any president. If a country is supposedly safe only when one man remains in charge, then the country has not been made stable. It has been made dependent.
And the consequences are not theoretical. They are visible in the lives of ordinary Ugandans. Food insecurity, unemployment, overstretched public services, inadequate healthcare, poor educational outcomes and vulnerability to climate shocks continue to burden millions.
Uganda has enormous agricultural potential, yet its food and agriculture ranking remains near the bottom globally. It has a young population that should be an extraordinary economic advantage, yet too many young people struggle to find decent opportunities.
It has natural resources and a strategic position in East Africa, yet ordinary citizens continue to ask when the promised prosperity will finally reach their homes.
The most disturbing legacy of Museveni’s rule is not simply how long he has stayed in power, but how normalised permanent power has become. A generation has grown up knowing only one president. Constitutional safeguards have been dismantled. Political competition has repeatedly been constrained. The state has become deeply intertwined with the ruling establishment. And citizens are still being asked to believe that the same man who has dominated the system for decades is somehow the only person capable of fixing it.
Enough is Enough with Musevenism!!
