It has been 46 years since President Idi Amin was overthrown, and 22 years since his passing, yet Uganda’s narcissistic, power-hungry dictator, Gen Yoseri Tibuhaburwa Kagutema a.k.a Museveni, still refuses to take responsibility for his leadership failures, continuing instead to scapegoat a man long gone.
For instance, this Wednesday, the 9th of April 2025, Museveni became the subject of public ridicule after bizarrely accusing the late Idi Amin of “plundering” Uganda’s economic structure, from the so-called enclave economy of the 3Ts and 3Cs.
The octogenarian dictator made these claims while addressing the 11th Session of the Africa Regional Forum on Sustainable Development (ARFSD), held in Kampala.
Criminal Museveni’s baseless rant was met with doubt and disbelief, especially given that Museveni himself has been at the helm of Uganda’s economic downfall for nearly four decades, looting in broad daylight, reducing the country to a near-failed state, and deliberately destroying the country by pushing millions of Ugandans into deep poverty.
The hard truth remains: in almost 40 years of rule, dictator Museveni has failed to accomplish even half of what President Amin achieved in just eight years, particularly in the realm of economic transformation.
And that is precisely why Museveni continues to slander the late Amin, a leader many Ugandans today view with a sense of nostalgic longing, and one whom some even wish had ruled for life.
Museveni’s 40-year reign has been defined by rampant corruption, economic plunder, and grave human rights abuses including abductions, extrajudicial killings, and the brutal suppression of dissent.
His verbal attacks on a long-deceased leader are not only desperate; they are a glaring reflection of the fragile state Criminal Museveni himself now finds his regime in.
It is high time he relinquished the power he has shamelessly abused since seizing it by force. But Ugandans are not fools, Museveni’s days are numbered!
