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.

Trump administration isolates illegitimate dictator M7 with โDo Not Travelโ advisory
Power-hungry despot Museveni’s anarchic obsolete (mis)rule, marked by grave human rights violations and the promotion of terrorism both at home and across the region, is finally receiving scrutiny on the international stage.
To no one’s surprise, the U.S. Department of State issued a Level 4 travel advisory, strongly warning people against traveling to Uganda amid Museveni’s escalating campaign of abductions, enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, and other serious human rights violations.
“We issue Travel Advisories with Levels 1โ4. Level 4 means DO NOT TRAVEL.
We assign Level 4 based on local conditions and/or our limited ability to help Americans there. These places are dangerous.
Do not go for ANY reason,” the U.S. Department of State said in the advisory, which places Uganda in the same category as terrorism-affected countries such as Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Yemen.
The move came months after U.S. Senator Jim Risch (RโIdaho), Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, called on the Trump administration to reassess the U.S. security relationship with Uganda, beginning with a review of whether sanctions are warranted under existing legal authorities.
Senator Risch’s appeal was inspired by the January sham elections, which he described as a hollow exercise staged to legitimize Museveni’s seventh term and more than four decades in power.
The senior U.S. official stated that Museveni’s regime “prioritizes domestic control through political violence, abductions, imprisonment, intimidation of opponents, and the misuse of state resources to maintain its grip on power.”
He further underscored the acknowledged view that criminal Museveni remains a regional destabilizer, particularly in South Sudan, emphasizing that his regime has become an “increasingly problematic exporter of instability.”
The advisory also comes at a critical moment as Washington continues to impose sanctions and visa restrictions on several current and former Ugandan officials from Museveni’s inner circle over human rights abuses and corruption.
The United States consistently ranks as Uganda’s largest overseas tourism market, accounting for roughly 18% to 20% of all non-African international visitors traveling for business and leisure.
This underscores the significance of the travel advisory and the potential impact it could have on Uganda’s tourism sector, which thief-in-chief Museveni has effectively personalized by siphoning off its revenues for his own benefit.
It is noteworthy that the very Western powers that once aided and abetted Museveni’s rise to power now appear increasingly disillusioned with his rule and its excesses. This shift deserves recognition.
Indeed, Museveni must go now!
