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.

Over forty years of watching institutions that were meant to serve the people gradually become instruments for protecting power.
A foreign criminal octogenarian ruler at the center of a system where the police increasingly appears less like a public service but more like a private militia whose first duty is obedience.
Now that system has turned on one of its own.
Today, Cpl Mukolerwa Fatina of Kasangati was arrested following a TikTok video in which she accused her commanders of releasing a suspect of domestic violence.
Her crime, it seems was not merely speaking. It was speaking publicly and exposing the already existing rot. Museveniโs goons have called her conduct โscandalousโ and reminded officers that questioning superiors in public is unacceptable.
And there, in that warning, lies the real problem.

That is not discipline. That is a doctrine of fear in a Police-State.
ASP Muhammad Kirumira learned that lesson before her. He spoke about the rot within the police force. What followed were charges, raids, humiliation, dismissal and murder in that order. In 2018, he was gunned down by Museveniโs puppet goons unapologetically.
Others who dared to raise their voices have found themselves before courts, behind bars or permanently silenced.
That is why Fatinaโs arrest should not be dismissed as an ordinary disciplinary matter. It fits a pattern that Ugandans have seen for years: silence the officer who speaks, intimidate the witness who exposes, punish the person who asks why.
In a country where the police themselves are afraid to tell the truth, what chance does the ordinary citizen have?
The message is chillingly simple: a suspect may walk free, commanders may never have to explain themselves, and the officer who asks questions will become the accused.
A government that doesn’t tolerate questions from its own police officers is not demonstrating strength.
It is exposing weakness.
A system that locks up its own officers for speaking about wrongdoing is not maintaining order.

And silence has been one of the most powerful weapons of foreign despot Museveniโs four-decade rule.
For forty years, fear has done what elections, institutions and laws were supposed to do: keep the system intact.
But every arrest like Fatinaโs reveals something the regime would rather hide.
