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.

Power-hungry Museveni had to rig the election or go to jail
An octogenarian who has ruled our country, Uganda since the 1986 cannot risk a free vote, not after decades of economic exclusion, militarised politics, and power reduced to a family enterprise. Rigging was not strategy. It was self-preservation.
Start with Karamoja.
In Lopei Subcounty, Napak District, people are still dying from jiggers caused by extreme poverty, poor sanitation, and state neglect. This is not a remote past. This is Uganda today. Children walk barefoot.
Health centres are under-equipped. Hunger is the order of the day.
Now travel to Kiruhura, Museveni’s home area.
There, wealth is concentrated, infrastructure is modern, land ownership is expansive, and skyscrapers pierce the skyline. Roads are paved. Investment flows, the contrast is obscene.
This is not development.
It is selective prosperity.
Karamoja has suffered for decades under Museveni’s rule—disarmament without protection, food insecurity without safety nets, militarisation without development. Then, in a final insult, Museveni appointed his wife as Minister for Karamoja.
Let that sink in.
After decades of neglect, one of the poorest regions in our country was handed to the First Family, not for justice, but for political containment. Poverty was no longer a national failure—it became a family-managed portfolio.
This is why Museveni had to rig the January 15 election.
Because a fair election would have asked questions he cannot answer:
• How do you rule for over 40 years while entire regions remain trapped in 18th-century living conditions?
• How do you keep power while millions are locked out of opportunity?
• Why does development follow bloodlines instead of citizens?
Museveni did not rig because he is popular. He rigged because his criminal actions have exposed him over time.
Exposed the myth of stability.
Exposed the lie of shared prosperity.
Exposed a regime that survives not on merit or consent, but on force, fear, intimidation and fraud.
A dictator who must rig after 40 years is not a unifier, he is a huge liability.
Our country, Uganda is not unstable because Museveni might leave. Uganda is unstable because he refuses to. A nation cannot breathe when one man is stepping on its neck and suffocating it.
Talk of state capture? Uganda has been captured for nearly half a century.
