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.

After four decades in State House, the nationโs longest-serving gardener (๐๐๐ฌ๐ฉ๐จ๐ญ ๐จ๐๐ญ๐จ๐ ๐๐ง๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐ง ๐๐ข๐๐ฎ๐ก๐๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐ฐ๐) has finally achieved what agronomists said was impossible: a country where the granaries are empty but his offshore bank accounts are in full bloom.
Call it trickle-down farming; except nothing ever trickled down, and precious little was left to farm.
The latest chapter in this bumper harvest of irony comes from Karamoja, where prolonged drought has scorched crops and pushed families to the edge of starvation.
Thousands of families have already been wiped out by famine as Humanitarian agencies are pleading for urgent support.
Yet, amidst all this, despot Museveni is simply fixated on seeing more Ugandans die instead of giving emergency relief. Where is the ministry of Agriculture and what happened to the national basket?
The last time I checked, Karamoja was being used by Museveniโs Somali half-brother Rufu aka Salim Saleh for extensive tobacco farming and cattle raring at the expense of human lives.
However, the masterstroke of institutional foresight is this power-greedy despot Museveni who has consistently placed his dead wife at the helm of Karamoja affairs to ensure that they are looting all the seeds, livestock, or anything from the region and let its natives starve to death.
Consequently, the region that should be the nationโs foodbasket has instead become a case study in how to turn drought into a mass murder weapon.
The seeds are gone and stolen by Museveni and his inner circle, the rains have failed. But rest assured: the harvest of power continues, evergreen, unbothered by drought, indifferent to season โ the one crop in Uganda that has never once failed to yield over the past four decades of (mis)rule.
Indeed, Museveni Must Go and the time is now!
