For decades, Museveni has waged a relentless campaign to silence Dr. Kizza Besigye, his most prominent political rival. From sham elections to brutal arrests, Museveniโs obsession with eradicating Besigye has taken many dark turns.
But his latest moveโa mysterious abduction in Kenya and clandestinely sent to Uganda โis a chilling reminder of how far he will go to eliminate those who dare challenge his grip on power.
Besigye, who first dared to contest Museveni’s authoritarian rule in 2001, has faced everything from dubious treason charges to outright physical violence.
In that rigged election, Museveni, rattled by Besigyeโs popularity, ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฌ๐๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐๐ญ ๐ก๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ฉ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐๐๐ฌ๐ข๐ ๐ฒ๐ “๐ฌ๐ข๐ฑ ๐๐๐๐ญ ๐ฎ๐ง๐๐๐ซ.”
Since then, Besigye has endured years of house arrests, imprisonment, and torture at the hands of the regime. And now, nearly two weeks into Besigyeโs suspicious detention in Kenya, the stakes have never been higher.
According to his allies and his wife, Winnie Byanyima, Besigyeโs capture was a carefully orchestrated ploy involving disguised agents believed to be part of an intelligence-sharing pact between Uganda and Kenya.
The president’s pathological fear of Besigye stems from one truth: Besigye represents the courage, resilience, and hope of a nation longing for freedom. Every scheme to break himโevery rigged vote, every unjust detentionโonly solidifies his status as a symbol of resistance against Museveni’s tyranny.
