Dear ruthless dictator,
Over the past 40 years, especially when you were more energetic, you often lied and joked about your so-called “retirement plans” which never materialised.
Now that Mama Elephantiasis, aka Mama Janet is dead and gone and you too, are soon signing off from the earthly recordsโฆ
What is your plan and what is your legacy?
Do you want to be celebrated like Mwalimu Julius K Nyerere and Nelson Mandela, do you wish to die in prison like Robert Mugabe or die in office likeโฆ.?
It is with deep sorrow that you have already decided your fate. Soon the world will read you in the headlines.
Do you ever mind about your children, grandchildren or any other person who has ever been associated to you?
Your public utterances about how your countless children alive, healthy, happy, and prosperous at the expense of all Ugandans, are always noted with concern.
This stands in sharp contrast to the pain experienced by many compatriots who, over the last four decades since you illegally seized power, have been deprived of such parental joy through the loss of their children, many of them in circumstances associated with repression and violent crackdowns against dissent to your brutal junta.
While you celebrate the comfort and well-being of your own family, countless parents across Uganda have been denied the same joy of raising, protecting, and watching their children grow.
Moreover, your long (mis)rule has been marked by the massacre of young lives, particularly those who dared to oppose your regime or were caught in the cycle of state violence.
History will ultimately judge not only the longevity of your rule, but also its devastating effects on ordinary families across the nation.
Against all odds, what is your legacy, power-greedy criminal Museveni?
