Uganda’s dictator @KagutaMuseveni decries Western influence while enforcing anti-LGBTQ laws—yet Uganda quietly takes over $4M from USAID to push LGBTQ agenda. A familiar double standard: rejecting the West in rhetoric, but first in line for its aid. @DailyMonitor @newvisionwire @Parliament_Ug @AnitahAmong

𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆: Uganda’s government has arrested a human rights activist for protesting the illegal detention of civilians in a military tribunal—defying the Supreme Court’s recent order to stop prosecuting civilians in military courts. Dozens of NUP supporters have languished in military jail for over 4 years without trial. This is systematic repression, criminalizing free speech and dissent. @realDonaldTrump must reassess ALL forms of U.S. aid to Uganda’s brutal regime, which thrives on silencing opposition through abductions, torture, and sham military trials! @PoliceUg @AsstSecStateAF @StateDept @hrw @IntlCrimCourt @KagutaMuseveni @HEBobiwine @UN_HRC

The military dictatorship in Uganda is bringing back kangaroo courts for civilians—because silencing dissent is easier than facing the people’s verdict. How many more rights will be trampled before Ugandans say enough? @hrw @IntlCrimCourt @UN_HRC @StateDept @AsstSecStateAF @SecRubio @realDonaldTrump
The ruling NRM party is set to start amendments to the constitution to give legal force to military courts to try civilians again. #MonitorUpdates

Museveni’s UPDF aids the terror group, while his associate @AndrewMwenda openly lobbies for their legitimacy—yet no sanctions. The same UN that blacklists small-time warlords now looks away as a state-backed militia wreaks havoc in the #DRC.

@johnlegend, your performance in Rwanda risks legitimizing a regime deeply implicated in the annexation, massacre, and looting of Eastern Congo through its proxy terror group, M23. Performing in Kigali while millions suffer due to Rwanda’s aggression gives diplomatic cover to impunity. Cancel the show. #CongoIsBleeding

@KagutaMuseveni and @PaulKagame have annexed Goma, looted Congo’s wealth, fueled massacres, and now force Tshisekedi to ‘negotiate’—a thief demanding dialogue with his victim. The EAC-SADC summit risks legitimizing this extortion. Will Africa stand for justice or reward aggression? @SADCNews @UN_HRC @IntlCrimCourt @CIJ_ICJ @WilliamsRuto @jlprdeangola @CyrilRamaphosa @HHichilema @FNyusi
Today, I am attending the EAC-SADC joint summit in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, which focuses on the situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). My earlier proposal for this summit was that H.E. Tshisekedi should speak directly to those who are in conflict with him, as this impacts all of us. There is no other forum better suited to address this issue than this summit. I therefore hope for a fruitful discussion.

He doesn’t know what he’s talking about. The Supreme Court’s ruling isn’t an attack on national security—it’s a necessary stand for justice and accountability. Claiming that military discipline is the foundation of democracy ignores the long history of military courts being used to suppress dissent and cover up abuses. The ruling reaffirms that no one is above the law, and that fair trials and respect for human rights must prevail over unchecked military power.
UPDF CDF, Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba: “Last week, we were shocked to receive a judgment from the Supreme Court that, in effect, halts all trials conducted by military courts. The UPDF, without doubt, remains the foundation upon which democracy and socio-economic transformation can be realized in our country. The historical mission of the UPDF, which predates the laws being debated today, could not have been achieved without a highly disciplined force. This development (Supreme Court judgment) is very unfortunate and quite unacceptable.” #ChimpReportsNews #TareheSita @mkainerugaba

U.S. taxpayers must not be used to subsidize Uganda’s corrupt regime—a brutal regime that continues to steal from its people while failing to build essential infrastructure like roads, schools, and hospitals. Instead, it opens wide doors for cronies to plunder the central bank. @realDonaldTrump @elonmusk @StateDept @AsstSecStateAF @HEBobiwine @marcorubio @SenateForeign @business @WSJ @TheEconomist @IMFNews @WorldBank

Uganda’s Supreme Court ruled against the dictator’s military tribunal, a step toward justice. But with impunity, justices failed to set a timeline for releasing political prisoners—many from the National Unity Platform—who have endured 4+ years of military court abuses without trial. @JudiciaryUG @ac_owinydollo @hrw @realDonaldTrump @amnesty @StateDept @HEBobiwine @UNHumanRights
