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.

As our country, Uganda ๐บ๐ฌ turns 64, Dictator Museveni had earlier planned to decorate himself with the highest medal in a ceremony staged by his own office.
The celebration was sorrowfully held virtually, with only a handful of dignitaries and selected religious leaders attending physically.
At State House Entebbe, Despot Museveni received the Order of the Commander-in-Chief.
The Presidential Awards Committee operates from the Office of the President how funny and hilarious that sounds. The ceremony is at the presidentโs residence. State House pays the bill and Museveni receives the prize.
That is not an honour, it is a political theatre dressed up as national recognition, typical senility at play.
As expected, the arrangement was comical and so revealing. The state creates the award, controls the process, stages the ceremony and then presents the medal to the dying dude who has controlled the state for four decades.
Museveni does not merely receive honours. Under his system, the machinery of government can be made to manufacture them for him.
It is the kind of spectacle associated with rulers who have stayed in power so long that the distinction between the country and the ruler begins to disappear.
Uganda is not Museveni. State House is not Museveni, yet after 40 years, the institutions increasingly behave as though celebrating him is synonymous with celebrating Uganda.
Museveni has also received the Order of Katonga from the Chief Justice, an institution that is constitutionally expected to stand independently from the executive.
This is how political systems gradually become a one man show. The medal’s citation praises Museveni’s staged contribution to peace and security. Peace for whom?
Ask the Ugandans killed during the November 2020 protests. Ask those whose internet access was cut around the 2021 election. Ask journalists, opposition figures and activists who have faced detention, intimidation, torture and extrajudicial killings.
Ask Kizza Besigye, a fellow bush-war fighter and liberator who was abducted from Nairobi in 2024 and placed before a military court over trumped-upcharges, a practice Uganda’s Supreme Court later ruled unconstitutional when applied to civilians.
A government can call silence peace. A frightened population can look quiet.
But quiet is not peace. Fear is not stability. And the absence of protest is not proof of freedom.
The Constitution has already been defiled enough, dictator Museveni’s longevity is not even related to winning elections. The rules themselves have been changed.
Term limits were removed in 2005. The presidential age limit was removed in 2017 and each time the Constitution presented a barrier to another term, the political system found a way around it.
Now, after another election theft, the same system is to decorating the dude who is soon dying office.
As we celebrate the 64th Independence, it’s perplexing that for most of the middle age citizens, the only president they have ever known is this cancer-striken foreign criminal, M7.
