🚨 Omusuuga Charles Kamurasi has called upon the Batooro to speak out against the claim that the late King left behind a child, saying the announcement is false. He stated that under the Toro Constitution, he holds the authority to decide matters of the royal lineage, not Omuhikirwa, whose role is only to represent the kingdom before the central government. He urged the people of Tooro to reject this overreach. SAVE TOORO KINGDOM FROM UGANDAN POLITICS 📌

Nobody should be surprised that Museveni’s brutal son would consider anybody who is not from his specific ethnic origin a second-class citizen! By calling his brother-in-law - who he is always at odds with - a 'Muhutu', he is telling you how exactly he views those who don't belong to his tribe. Those who have eyes and ears know that this has been the unstated foundational policy and belief of the Museveni family rule. They now have a reckless, entitled son who is bold enough to say it publicly! Like I have repeatedly said, you just need to sit down with several victims of abductions and torture and listen to the kind of ethnic or religious profiling (in the case of muslims) they're subjected to in those torture chambers. In the case of NUP supporters, if they're from any other ethnic group, they'll be brutalised and humiliated while being mocked for belonging to those tribes. If they're Banyankole, they'll be beaten up and dehumanised while being interrogated on what they're doing supporting a Muganda. One of our lawyers, Kakuru Tumusiime, recently recounted how he was tortured, being asked how a munyakole lawyer could represent me - a Muganda. Imagine the backwardness! This is a dark truth that we must confront. This tribal hatred is being spewed by someone his father gifted with heading our nation's military. You can imagine how he views soldiers who come from the diverse regions of our country. Of course this perception is reflected in promotions, deployments, opportunities to study abroad, etc. I am very pleased that the Government of Rwanda through its Spokesperson has come out to distance themselves from this barbaric madness. They know too well from their own painful history, the catastrophic destination where state-sponsored ethnic bigotry leads a nation. Unfortunately, you won't hear any condemnation coming from the officials in Uganda because they all know that this tribal supremacy is the true, unmasked identity of the bloody regime they serve. I call on the people of Uganda to remain united because a people united will always defeat regimes built on sectarianism - however ferocious they may seem.

Today I met an academic who told me he is writing a book using my case with KIU. It is about institutional integrity, accountability, law, and public trust. I can’t wait to read it.

NEW: President Trump is turning up the pressure on Iran, announcing what he calls the "MOST CRUSHING ECONOMIC OPERATION EVER TAKEN AGAINST ANY COUNTRY." "This will be Economic Warfare and Isolation on an unprecedented scale." "I am also announcing that ANY country that allows its financial institutions, businesses, airports, or government entities to provide any type of lifeline to Iran will itself face TREMENDOUS Economic Consequences."

Make no mistake: The Iranian regime is playing for time, hoping that the midterm elections will deliver a Democratic Congress that is less willing to take them on than President Trump has been. We cannot let Tehran set the terms - let's win this.

I sincerely thank you all for the overwhelming gesture of love in contributing towards my court penalties. I know you did this because you relate with my principles, work, and commitments. You never asked if I had the money or not, you simply showed up in solidarity. Even when you learnt that the initial target had been reached, you just continued sending money, and you are still sending! I didn’t have to explain much that, although I’m aggrieved too, this case is not really about me. Some of you intervened in defence of freedoms and protection of this space for accountability. Some did it in defiance against the powerful that pee on those below. The contributions included amounts as small as 4000/-, and from across the spectrum. Both opposition and NRM people showed up. Even ministers reached out with concern. Different tribes. Different religions and nationalities. From Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya, Ghana, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Nigeria, France, Switzerland, Netherlands, USA, Finland, UK, Sweden, Canada, Germany, Kazakstan, UAE, Brazil, … It has surely been a statement beyond me. Some just stood up for principles, some for religious reasons, some in memory of injustices they’ve themselves faced in the past and still. This country has very many good people, and we could build on those to do much more good. The evil ones are few and have no REAL friends to count on. Neither are they really happy. They live in fear for the harm they’ve caused to others. Thanks to @kiizaeron and @AAgather for spearheading the campaign even before I asked, though I surely desired it to be a collective experience and statement. Thanks Hon. @HEBobiwine for passionately amplifying the call. Thanks everyone. I can’t name you all, but I saw you, and felt you. I must add that ever since this case started, I have never spent a single penny of mine. Well wishers, fans, and friends have carried me on their shoulders all through - and very happily. It is not me they carry though, it is the cause. Thank you.

Inspiring a nation: Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger, former Air Force fighter pilot and US Airways captain, became a hero in 2009 after safely landing Flight 1549 on the Hudson River, saving all 155 aboard in the 'Miracle on the Hudson.'

The Iranian regime will lose the zero-sum game it is playing. Any damage it inflicts on our allies in the Gulf will be paid for with funds extracted from Iranian Accounts. Any tolls paid to the Persian Gulf Strait Authority will be offset by funds extracted from their accounts. Every attack Iran launches will only deepen the economic and financial consequences it faces.
