It is with a very heavy heart that millions of us say to the international community, governments, diplomats and observers, “We told you so”.
To those of you who were warned in one way or another, how do you feel now when you look at yourself in the mirror? Why did you do nothing?
I am so despondent and angry. My heart cries out for thousands in Uganda who continue to suffer unspeakable human rights violations and the millions who will continue to suffer from a corrupt regime.
One Ugandan wrote to me in desperation this morning saying, “We need more help from you people. Some of us can not go back to our country and meet our families. Our children are very young but we can not go back to a country were you know they kill you or abduct you.” What should I say to him?
Another has written: “The international community is always siding with the oppressive NRM regime, it reflects the unspeakable double standards and betrayal to Ugandans. The international community only awaits to sign deals of supplying lethal weapons which Mr Museveni and his son brag about to use to dehumanise Ugandans.” Who in the UK government and other participating countries is going to answer these accustions?
To all of you who read this post, please share it widely (and the links for some of my earlier posts), especially if you have any way of making contact with politicians or other relevant activists. Ugandans don’t have a voice – it is up to us to speak out for them. Sometimes I feel I am doing it all on my own and yet I have no influence nor the necessary contacts.
Bobi Wine and his wife have now been forcibly removed from their home in Kampala in the night after power was cut to their home and a helicopter landed in their garden. They have apparently been taken by helicopter to the remote town of Kisoro close to the Rwanda/DRC borders. What has happened to their young children who were at home with them?
