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 façade 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 people—massacres, 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 needs—hospitals with doctors and equipment, schools that actually educate, and protection from armed herdsmen trampling their lands—Museveni’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 displays—they deserve justice, dignity, and the chance to rebuild their lives.

RIP mafia Janet Museveni
“They thought they were immortal”
Today, I’ll borrow a leaf from Stella Nyanzi’s poetic analogy.
That they were different.
That they were immortal.
That they were permanent.
That they were untouchable…
They believed it.
Not just whispered in corridors of power, not just repeated by those who benefit from proximity—but deeply, dangerously believed it.
Power-greedy dictator Yoseri Tibuhaburwa Museveni and Janet Kembabazi Kataha did not merely rise to lead a nation—they settled into it, reshaped it their way, and over time began to treat it not as a republic, but as a personal inheritance.
Our country, Uganda became a possession.
Institutions that were meant to stand independently were slowly bent and arm-twisted into instruments of loyalty.
Systems designed to serve the people were redirected to sustain power.
The line between national interest and personal control blurred so completely that it almost disappeared, in that transformation, something deeply unjust took root.
The ordinary Ugandan—farmer, student, worker, entrepreneur—became secondary in their own country. Our labor taxed, their voices managed, futures postponed.
Meanwhile, privilege concentrated at the top, protected, expanded, and normalized.
Power stopped listening.
Power stopped fearing accountability.
Power started believing its own myth – that it could last forever. That nothing could shake it.
That history itself could be paused, but history does not pause. Time does not ask for permission.
It is the one force that ignores titles, dismisses convoys, and does not recognize authority. It moves steadily, quietly, dismantling every illusion ever built by those who thought themselves above it.
Because no matter how tightly power is held, it cannot hold back time, when leadership becomes consumed with its own survival, something else begins to fade—the nation itself.
A country cannot breathe when its future is locked in the hands of a few. It cannot evolve when leadership refuses to imagine a tomorrow without itself. It cannot thrive when opportunity is narrowed, when dissent is feared, and when renewal is delayed year after year.
Uganda’s tragedy is not sudden—it is cumulative. It is built from years of control tightening slowly. From voices that learned to lower themselves.
From systems that forgot their purpose. From a generation forced to wait while power refused to let go. And yet, even now, the greatest illusion remains:
That this can continue indefinitely. But no system built around individuals survives the limits of those individuals. No grip remains unbroken. No era escapes its end.
What is left behind, however, is what matters.
Will it be a nation weakened by years of over-centralization? Or one that finally reclaims its strength, its institutions, and its future? Simply because in the end, the truth is simple and undefeated:
No one is immortal.
No power is permanent.
And no nation belongs to a family.
Uganda does not belong to them, never did.
