the mysterious deaths, disappearances and unexplained car accidents
that have taken place since the National Resistance Movement (NRM) shot
its way to power nearly 30 years ago and claimed the lives of many
Ugandans from all corners of the country.
Grenade attacks have taken place at the homes of two Ugandan opposition
MPs, including singer-turned-politician Robert Kyagulanyi.
The investigation will look beyond 1986,
the year the NRM came to power and try to understand who was and
continues to be behind the killing of prominent people that include
heads of state, businessmen and women, politicians, ordinary citizens
and most of all, high ranking officers and men of the Uganda Peoples
Defence Forces (UPDF).
Our investigation will start with
revealing what we have been told is the thinking of the UPDF. How long
are they going to let their fellow officers be killed, subjected to
unexplained arrests and sent to die in battles in foreign lands? Is the
Uganda army surely still solidly behind Gen Yoweri Museveni? Who are
“The Three Musketeers” now running Uganda with an iron fist?
Many people inside and outside Uganda
have agreed to join us to take on this mammoth task. Many are still
serving in the Museveni Government, something that clearly shows all is
not well inside the Museveni camp. We will discuss why the bush general
is now walking with his eyes fixed behind him, not sure whether to trust
even his closest bodyguards.
Mr Kyagulanyi and MP Allan Ssewanyana said their homes shook and windows were shattered by the explosions.
A government spokesman denied the government was behind the blasts.
"Flash grenades at opposition MPs' homes could be own scare tactics to frame government," Ofwono Opondo was quoted by the state-allied New Vision newspaper. "There is no record or history of this NRM government killing political opposition," he added.
Mr Kyagulanyi said he had received death threats on a daily basis because of his opposition to the removal of the presidential age limit.
He would not be intimidated by the "cowardly" attacks, he said
"Thankfully no-one is hurt. But what kind of country are we now living in?" he added in a Facebook post.
Mr Ssewanyana said the attacks took place in the early hours of Tuesday.
Last week, an explosive device was thrown into the property of another opposition MP, Moses Kasibante.
The MPs have been at the forefront of a fierce campaign against a motion currently before parliament that seeks to scrap the presidential age limit of 75 - a move that could allow President Yoweri Museveni to stand for re-election in 2021.
Chaotic scenes broke out in parliament last week as MPs openly brawled during a debate over the motion.
Mr Museveni, 73, has been in power since 1986.
His critics accuse him of presiding over an authoritarian regime.
Many have sent us comments that former Speaker of the Uganda Parliament James Wapakhabulo died from AIDS, Really? We have information to the contrary. The same has been spoken about Lt Col Serwanga Lwanga. We will look at what we have been told could have actually happened to him.
Do you remember Maj Gen Kazini – the tall general who was allegedly clobbered to death by his girlfriend who is now serving a prison term? Our sources will name “the giant” that Gen David Sejusa spoke about last year as being the one responsible for Kazini’s murder. On whose orders was this assassin operating? We will reveal the information we have been supplied by a UPDF ‘insider’. And what about Gen Dr John Garang de Mabior? Did he really die as a result of a helicopter crash? .
For those of you who were mature and living in Kampala soon after Idi Amin was overthrown in 1979, you will perhaps recall the sudden rise of killings by unknown gunmen who traversed the capital’s streets in a bus and carried out killings involving strangers that had nothing to do with politics. The bodies of their victims were left lying on the streets of Kampala for several days. Ever wondered why no investigation has ever been carried out about these killings? Who was behind them and why? We will investigate.
What happened behind the scenes on the day the then National Resistance Army entered Kampala? Was it indeed a ‘bloodless coup’ as we have been made to believe? Shock! Horror! . This investigation starts on Mothering Sunday. Many mothers will sit and remember their loved ones who were taken away and no attempt has ever been made to explain who was behind their deaths.
we have come across ‘a pattern of things’ that will shock everyone. Why haven’t we ever looked at this pattern before? Who are the main players in this pattern? Are they still alive? In today’s world, those behind this pattern of killings would be described by psychiatrists as having the mind of a serial killer. Do we then have a serial killer on the loose in Uganda? If we do, who is it? We will investigate.
Throughout our investigation, we will encourage Ugandans to put aside the fear they have of the regime and embark on the road to liberation. The regime has used the fear of death to silence the majority. We will be appealing to you all to rise up and put fear aside and confront those that have put us under this spell. For it is only through being courageous that we will save Uganda. There will be many roadblocks on the way, but by now we surely have become used to going around them.
