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.

Quest for accountability as M7 finally dumps U.S.-sanctioned death merchant Maj Gen Abel Kandiho!
Welcome to the “use and dump” policy – a founding principle that has no exception in the foreign criminal Museveni’s empire.
This Thursday, murderous power-greedy foreign criminal Yoweri Tibuhaburwa Kagutema alias Museveni presided over the retirement ceremony of 19 general officers, but one particularly stood out as a subject of national debate, with most Ugandans asserting that his fate is far from over.
Thatโs none other than Maj Gen Abel Kandiho, a death merchant, ruthless torturer, regional diplomatic persona non grata, and U.S.-sanctioned, unremorseful human rights violator.
Kandiho remains such a notorious criminal that Ugandans across the country and abroad pray that he will one day be brought to book, behind bars to answer for grave crimes against the innocent citizens – mainly members of opposition labelled enemies. Kandiho’s heinous crimes include extrajudicial killings, torture, and enforced disappearances, all carried out to prop up Museveniโs brutal junta.
Those are the crimes Kandiho committed in his capacity as the head of Museveniโs dreadful Chieftaincy of Military Intelligence (CMI), now known as Defence Intelligence and Security (DIS).
Before being posted to CMI, Kandiho had already been a disgrace to Ugandaโs diplomatic landscape, where he jeopardized the countryโs image while serving foreign criminal Museveniโs malevolent interests.
While serving as head of CMI, Kandiho’s tenure will always be remembered for misrepresenting the face of a military intelligence apparatus. Kandiho took the law in his own hands, he became the investigator, arresting officer, prosecutor and supreme judge all at the same time.
Kandiho targeted and executed anyone he labelled as opposed to Museveniโs power greed. But he did stop at that, he also took advantage of Museveni’s protection to conduct summary executions of wealthy businessmen and used his agents in armed robberies.
Death merchant Kandiho notably oversaw a wave of urban killings roughly between 2015 and 2018, linked to networks that eliminated notable figures such as AIGP Andrew Felix Kaweesi and former Police boss – General Katumba Wamala who survived narrowly, among several others.
His tenure at CMI ended abruptly in January 2022, when criminal Museveni opted to protect him by replacing him with Maj Gen James Birungi, after the U.S. Department of the Treasuryโs Office of Foreign Assets Control designated Kandiho under Executive Order 13818 for serious human rights abuses committed during his time as CMI commander.
Criminal Museveni went a step further to shield Kandiho by appointing him Chief of Joint Staff of the Uganda Police Force and Senior Presidential Advisor, positions he held until he was eventually dumped.
Whatever the case, Kandiho embodies the unresolved questions of accountability within foreign criminal Museveniโs security apparatus, as his hands are stained with the blood of innocent Ugandans whom he eliminated while protecting his power-greedy master, Museveni and enriching himself simultaneously.
Abel Kandiho remains a living testament of the “use and dump” principle which has no exception under the aging, foreign tyrant Museveni.
