For the past four decades, foreign despot Museveni has ruled our country, Uganda ๐บ๐ฌ with spilling blood and an iron fist. He has gone beyond, his political influence has never stopped at Ugandaโs borders. From the streets of Nairobi to the battlefields of South Sudan, his regime’s actions raise urgent questions about sovereignty, accountability and the dangerous concentration of power.
East Africa must ask: How far can one dictator extend his influence before the region’s institutions finally push back?
In November 2024, Kizza Besigye disappeared while in Nairobi. He later surfaced here in Uganda, where he faced prosecution before a military court. His family and legal representatives described the transfer as an abduction, while Besigye denied the charges against him.
The case exposed a disturbing question: Can a political opponent travel through a neighbouring country without fearing that he will be abucted and forcibly returned to the criminal regime he challenges?
The Supreme Court ruled in January 2025 against the trial of civilians in military courts. The subsequent legal handling of Besigye’s case intensified concerns about judicial independence and due process.
A government cannot claim respect for the law while treating the rights of its opponents as an obstacle to political control.
His intervention in South Sudan’s civil war in 2013 placed its forces on the side of President Salva Kiir. More than a decade later, renewed Ugandan deployments amid political tensions in South Sudan again raised questions about external military influence.
Uganda has no interests in the region , its only Museveniโs personal interests.
In fact, attacks on humanitarian facilities and civilian deaths in South Sudan sanctioned by Museveni require independent investigation, not political celebration or convenient silence.
South Sudanese citizens deserve a political future determined through accountable institutions and credible peace processes, not solely through the preferences of foreign governments.
Octogenarian Museveni accusations that Kenya was stealing from Uganda through fuel trade deserve evidence-based scrutiny.
Economic disputes should be resolved through transparent negotiations, commercial data and established regional mechanisms. Turning disagreements into nationalist accusations risks damaging the very cooperation that East Africa’s economies depend on.
Kenya is not Uganda’s political backyard. Its sovereignty must be respected, just as Uganda’s must.
Dictator Museveni deliberately intends to create chaos across Kenya and East Africa is very dangerous and consequences of cross-border security operations, inflammatory rhetoric and unchecked executive power deserve serious scrutiny.
The East African Community cannot champion integration while avoiding difficult questions about human rights and sovereignty violated by Despot Museveni in and outside Uganda
No president, regardless of how long he has occupied office, should be powerful enough to place himself beyond accountability.
Ugandans deserve justice. Kenyans deserve sovereignty. South Sudanese deserve peace, the region deserves a peaceful and stable environment.
