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.

King Oyoโs succession crisis, a preview of post-Museveni Uganda!
In our country, Uganda ๐บ๐ฌ we are currently caught between a rock and a hard place, with the succession of the illegitimate, senile despot Museveni being the elephant in the room.
The altercations, feuds, and infighting that paralysed the Tooro Kingdom following the death of King Oyo (RIP) should serve as a chilling blueprint of what could unfold immediately after senile despot Gen Museveniโs death, which is likely to happen anytime soon.
Driven by primitiveness, insatiable greed for power, and an unpatriotic obsession with retaining power, foreign despot Museveni has, for over 40 years, refused to cede power despite losing every election.
Unlike other dictators who prefer to secure their legacy by handing power to their children, wives, or close family members, this is not the case with foreign despot Museveni.
The question of who will inherit Museveni’s political machinery remains one of Ugandaโs biggest unanswered questions.
To understand this, one needs to go back to 2005, when Museveniโs wife, Maama Janet (RIP), attempted to satisfy her own political ambitions by publicly entering elective politics and becoming the Member of Parliament for Ruhama County in Ntungamo.
Despite the political tensions that emerged between the couple, despot Janet persevered and eventually held several ministerial portfolios until her death.
The puzzle surrounding Museveniโs succession therefore remains unresolved, with members of his own family and inner circle fighting for political space while the ageing despot sits at the centre of a succession drama that could have consequences far beyond State House.
One cannot ignore the recent infighting that saw the despotโs son-in-law, Odrek Rwabwogo, almost brought to his knees, including the dismantling of PACEID, which he had been overseeing on Museveniโs behalf.
On the other side, there is also a section of NRA bush fighters whom criminal Museveni did not eliminate, who remain on standby, potentially ready to swing into action and take over from their former commander.
One cannot overlook the ever-growing opposition forces that have fought tooth and nail against Museveni, only for him to fight back through abductions, repression, and extrajudicial killings.
Yet, after all these years, Museveni has still not managed to finish them off.
Then there is another, potentially most powerful force: millions of Ugandans, the overwhelming majority of them young people, who want an end to Musevenism, by hook or by crook.
The most frightening part is that none of these forces is sufficiently organised or united. That alone should give every Ugandan a chilling preview of what the succession scenario could look like.
Alas, much of what is unfolding is deliberate and a direct consequence of the political system Museveni has built around himself, where the interests of one man have consistently taken precedence over the interests and institutional stability of our country.
Look at what happened in Tooro after the death of King Oyo. If a kingdom could be plunged into such altercations, feuds, and infighting over succession, what happens when the man who has personally dominated Ugandaโs political landscape for nearly four decades is suddenly gone?
King Oyoโs tragedy should therefore not be dismissed as merely a royal family affair. It could be a warning of what awaits Uganda if the question of succession remains unresolved.
When Museveni finally leaves the political stage, whether through death or otherwise, Uganda will not merely be choosing another president.
It could be confronting a battle for political control involving his family, military establishment, former comrades, opposition forces, and millions of Ugandans demanding change.
And the terrifying reality is that these forces are neither united nor governed by a commonly accepted succession framework.
Our country, Uganda ๐บ๐ฌ is therefore sitting on a political time bomb. The question is not whether Museveni will eventually leave. He will.
The question is: What happens to Uganda the morning after Museveni is gone?
King Oyoโs experience has already given us a glimpse.
Our country urgently needs a political and institutional mechanism capable of guaranteeing a peaceful transition before the succession crisis becomes a national catastrophe.
Uganda needs a saviour before it is too late.
