Hello Uganda! Despite the wide spread fraud and violence experienced across the country earlier today, the picture still looks good. Thank you Uganda for turning up and voting in record numbers. The challenge now is for Mr. Byabakama and the EC to declare the will of the Pple.
Day Six under house arrest and we're still stuck with an 18 months old baby who had paid a visit to her auntie (my wife ) be4 we were raided & besieged. The Dad has been denied access to her. We have run out of food and milk. No one is allowed to leave or come into our compound.
It’s now four days since the military surrounded our home and placed my wife and I under house arrest. We have run out of food supplies and when my wife tried to pick food from the garden yesterday, she was blocked and assaulted by the soldiers staged in our compound. (ADMIN)
This afternoon, the US Ambassador to Uganda made an effort to visit me but was turned away from my gate by the soldiers who have held me and my wife captive for the past five days.
Yes, for standing and defeating Gen. Museveni in an election, which he resoundingly rigged, I am still under house arrest 8 days later! I thank all friends in Uganda and abroad who continue to stand with us, until we put an end to this indignity. Uganda will be free.
Like my wife's, my phone has been blocked and I am unable to recieve or make regular calls. I know this is to stop me from communicating to our agents and coordinators. I encourage you comrades to be vigilant as I try to devise ways of reaching out to you.

Power to you the young people of Kenya. You are speaking up and your voices are being heard far beyond the Kenyan borders. We hope your leaders too are listening! We continue to stand in solidarity with you. Viva ✊🏿
Congratulations to the young people of Kenya, the

So, the private security company that has been guarding my home for the last 12 years has been ordered to withdraw security at my house. Their supervisors showed up unannounced at midnight, disarmed my guard and said they had instructions to immediately withdraw my security.
Nigerian human rights lawyer Femi Falana has filed this complaint on my behalf to the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Arrest. We are challenging my continued illegal confinement by the Ugandan police and the military!
Here's what Gen. Museveni's thugs did to our comrade Mwesigwa Eric, who we've been looking for these past two weeks. They abducted him & tortured him asking what Bobi Wine and NUP are planning to do to "overthrow the government". What a group of cold-hearted criminals!!!
Truth is
#OmahLay
's arrest isn't about COVID. No! It's an act of shame by a corrupt regime that operates on double standards. He obtained a work permit & performed under police protection! Why arrest him? This as pro-Museveni artists stage street concerts unmolested!
#FreeOmahLay
Safely arrived in the US where I'll be receiving specialised treatment following the brutal torture at the hands of SFC soldiers. We thank the world for standing with us. I will soon tell you what exactly happened to me since 13th August and what is next.

Information coming in is that the regime in Uganda is going to order for a complete shut down of the internet in a short while. No matter what they do, the world is watching.
I congratulate the President-Elect of the Republic of Kenya, H.E.
@WilliamsRuto
. Throughout the campaigns, the election and the Election Petition, Kenya has proven that its democracy has come of age. The Region has many lessons to learn. I congratulate the great people of Kenya.
I am not your brother and I'm not competing for your father's shoes. You're entitled to M7's shoes, cows and even his hat. One mistake you make is to think that Uganda is one of your father's properties for you to inherit.
The army has this morning raided my home, arrested all my security guards and anyone they could see around my premises. No reason for the arrest was given.
Such acts of impunity are all kicks of a dying horse.
#WeAreRemovingADictator
The High Court ruled this morning that my continued house arrest (11 days now) is illegal & unconstitutional. Several hours later, the military still surrounds my home, blocking access to all! Perhaps (as always) waiting for Gen. Museveni's orders on the next course of action.
Very concerned by reports of ongoing abductions of young activists in Kenya. We in Uganda understand the pain of illegal arrests, abductions and enforced disappearances which are a common occurrence in our country. I join all persons of good conscience in condemning these
Someone tell Gen. Museveni that if he must rig elections, he should be a bit smart! According to EC, he scored 100% at 348 polling stations , & 95 - 99% at many. That all registered voters turned up- no one died, was sick, travelled or just didn't vote! That no ballot was invalid
Landed in Dubai at 8:30pm. It’s now 5am. I’ve been held & interrogated for 8hrs. They asked me about NUP, it's leaders, their phone numbers, my family members & their contacts! I have all necessary travel docs. They’ve confiscated my passport & my phone. Am literary under arrest.
In Kyiv-Ukraine to express solidarity with the Ukranian people and leadership against Russia's war of aggression and occupation.
If the dictators stand by each other, the democrats should stand by each other too. It's dangerous but noble.
This has been the situation at my house these past days. Aside from the military and police surrounding us, military and police helicopters have been consistently hovering over our residence in breach of our privacy rights. Cowards!

@BarbieItungoK

My deepest condolences to you
@davido
and your dear wife upon the loss of your baby. May God give you the strength to pull through this painful period.
My son, my friend.
I am so proud of the man you've grown into. Super intelligent yet so humble and disciplined. May you find favour before the world. May the almighty God be with you, and may the blessings of your forefathers always follow you.
Happy 18th birthday son. Welcome
Conspiracy by the dictator & his biased Electoral Commission is in a new phase. A plot to rig is set, internet is completely shut down & media is censored. However, the pple of uganda are firm and nothing will stop them from ending this oppresive regime.

My father was 40 years old when he had me and 40 years later, here I am at 40 with 4 lovely children. I was 4 when our country was taken over and now am 40. What's with the number '4' and me??
They say life begins at 40, so let's toast to life.
#BobiWineAt40
Looking back at my life, I can only put my head to the ground and say THANK YOU LORD for the greatest gift- LIFE. As a boy, I never imagined going half this distance but reaching this age teaches me God keeps us alive for a purpose bigger than existing and exiting.

HAPPENING NOW: Heavily armed military and police have once again raided our party offices in Kampala. No one allowed to go in or come out. Museveni after committing the most vile election fraud in history, has resorted to the most despicable forms of intimidation. (ADMIN)

Dear KENYANS, you now understand what it means to live in Uganda under Gen. Museveni and his son, whom he gifted the highest military ranks and put him in charge of our land forces! Sadly, beneath the senseless tweets lies a monster who brutalises and tortures our people for fun!
Rest well Bunny Wailer. Thank you for your contribution to Reggae music and to humanity. My heart goes to the family, friends and fans all over the world.

The attack now is on our social media pages. Regime operatives have hacked and made attempts to hack all of them. Currently our official Facebook and twitter pages are compromised. As we try to regain full control of them, please disregard any propaganda that may be posted there
Dear friends, so humbled by the outpouring of love on my birthday. This day in 1982, as my parents dealt with consequences of a stolen election & war raged on in many parts of Buganda, I was born. Growing up to this age is a long story. Am thankful that I've been able to get here
22 days since social media was switched off in Uganda. We must end authoritarian rule. Gen. Museveni treats our country like his personal estate! He doesn't like an NGO? Shuts it down. Unhappy with a media house? Revokes license. Feels threatened by social media? Switches it off!
You built up your man to perfection, and then you donated him to your nation without hesitation.
You have always taken me back, in whatever shape I return home, beaten and bruised with a broken back, and you have always nursed and prepared me for the next day's fight.
Today is
Everytime we come to this time of the year, I look back and give glory to God for allowing us to see today. Through all trials and tribulations, by God's grace we're alive. Ebenezer, thus far the Lord has brought us! Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a happy new year.
Returned from prison to find over 37 citizens shot dead in two days. Gen. Museveni is ready to kill thousands to keep in power like he did on the way in. The hunger for freedom is sweeping over Uganda. He may kill us, but he will NOT stop the people's yearning for

Even those who disagreed with him on various subjects will agree that mzee Joseph Tamale Mirundi was an extraordinarily brilliant man. The nation will miss his sharp thinking, laced with great humor. I send my deepest condolences to his family and loved ones. Kitalo nnyo!
Today, we announced our decision to withdraw the election petition from the Supreme Court. The Court has manifested unprecedented bias, partiality and double standards. Declining our request to file evidence was the last stroke. We are taking the case to the Court of the People.
More than 24 hours after his brutal arrest & detention in Nalufenya, Bobi Wine has been denied access to his lawyers & his medical team! Only army & police officers have access to him. The violation of his rights with impunity must be condemned by all persons of good conscience.
Dear Kenyans, BE VIGILANT. Save your country from Musevenism. This may come off as a lone MP making a ridiculous suggestion, but this is how it starts. Exactly how Museveni began schemes to remove TERM and AGE limits. Defend your Constitution before it's too weak to defend you!

When I was arrested today, I was dumped into a mobile prison van which was tear-gassed. My campaign team is under arrest! I was airlifted in a military chopper & dropped at my gate. My home is surrounded. Gen. Museveni violently restricting us while he campaigns daily! Cowardly!
This morning, my beatitul sister

paid for the repatriation of four Ugandan girls from the Middle East. When I called to thank her, she was like "come on brother, I did that for myself and fellow women. I gave myself an early birthday gift". I was speechless.
Kagimu Umar is a young Ugandan who supports change. Working in the printing business, he prints posters & other materials for NUP. Thursday, armed operatives raided his shop at Nasser Road suspecting him to have our DR Forms. They violently arrested him. He's in a military jail!

Gen. Museveni needs to tell the world what he intends to do in this election that he should arrest my entire campaign team, my assistants & supporters. Last night, the military yet again arrested so many friends and comrades; two days to the election! Others living as fugitives!
Dear Dido, you were such a lovely dog! Our family was honoured to have your unconditional love and loyalty for a whole 13years. We've lost a true friend and family member. You leave with us golden memories.
13years ago, I wedded my best friend, the girl of my dreams. I am still dreaming and I don’t want anyone to ever wake me up! A very happy anniversary to you, dearest
@BarbieItungoK

The God we serve never sleeps! Today they arrested all the 23 members of our new campaign team & impounded the cars. They thought they had broken our back. I literally went to Namayingo alone. But this is how we were recieved! The wave is unstoppable!
#WeAreRemovingADictator
My campaign team was brought to the military court for a bail hearing today. The ruling on bail has been deferred by 8 days! Some of them are very sick. Seeing that many ordinary courts have been forthright, Museveni now relies on military courts to try all my comrades.
I've paid a visit to comrade Jjajja Tausi Ssola of Bulenga — Nakabugo. Recently, I came across a video on TikTok of Jjajja Tausi expressing love for us and I thought I should return as much. She calls me "Bobu Line" 🤣
In good times & bad times, you've always been that source of hope & confidence, not just as a spouse but as the bestest friend. I am who I am because I've been loved by the best. Happy birthday to the most amazing human being I know - Barbie Kyagulanyi
#ForBetterForWorse
Only cowards & weak men boast of violence! You should be ashamed. Ours is a non-violent call for action. You know that in a free & fair election, your father the old tyrant, would be no more. This country belongs to Ugandans, not you and your father. You will soon understand that
I told you my young brother, that you can NEVER intimidate us. We are much stronger than you can ever imagine to be. If you want to fight we will simply defeat you. We want peace! But if you attempt to fight us then Bring it on!
I regret to announce the passing of my grandfather-inlaw, Mzee Ernest Nvunganyi of Rukanda, Rwentobo-Ntungamo District.
May the almighty God receive his gentle soul.
I commend the people of Zambia for coming out in large numbers to vote. Our hope is that democracy will prevail & the WILL OF THE PEOPLE will be respected! The people of Zambia deserve a free, fair and transparent election.
