UGANDA TALKS

OPINION: Besigye has been detained at Luzira Maximum Prison on charges of treason. A huge sect in the opposition feels dejected and beaten, that the heart of their passion has been plugged out and thrown into a Prison cell. For many in the opposition, it is as good as dead …

 OPINION: Whether knowingly or unknowingly; fortunately or unfortunately, President Museveni has perfectly cloned himself. It is an evolutionary process that has lasted 15 years. The sad fact of the story is Museveni doesn’t recognize a Museveni in Besigye neither does Besigye realize that he’s evolved into a Museveni. The more …

OPINION: Last week on Saturday, the President of Kenya, Uhuru Kenyatta participated in setting to fire 11 pyres and finished ivory goods representing more than 6,000 dead elephants.

Once again, the Uganda Cranes will be back into calculations on their road to qualify for the African Cup of Nations. Last week, the Cranes lost an away game in Burkina Faso while they were held to a draw at home. The fans as usual, are disappointed. It’s the same …

By Kizza Besigye Tonight, I feel like becoming a real “terrorist”! This is the effect of endless acts of impunity on the part of the Uganda Police. When the people assigned the responsibility of maintaining law and order become deliberate and arrogant law breakers, where does one turn to? The …
