MASAKA ENGULFED IN RED FLAMES

Some of the gatherings in bobiwine rallies 

It's about 17:00 hours East African Time in Uganda on this 31st of May 2024 and our lenses are in the heart of Masaka, an always serene City  that has turned into a breathtaking sea of humanity. Unbelievable crowds, hundreds of thousands strong, have converged from every corner of the greater masaka metropolitan area. They're are drawn like moths to the flame of their hope;  Bobi Wine. 

The air is filled with the deafening roar of anticipation, as if the very atmosphere is pulsing with the fervent heartbeat of the people.

 As an old African proverb says, "When the drum beats, it is the heart of the people speaking." This drum's size and sound is freaking deafening. 

It's an ocean of faces radiating unwavering support. The crowd is so dense that it seems the earth itself might buckle under their collective weight. From horizon to horizon, an unending river of humanity, clad in vibrant red colors and waving flags, are surging with a singular purpose or attempt : to witness the dawn of a new era. It is believed that even mosquitoes are struggling to find space to land!

Bobi Wine's name is reverberating through the air, each chant a thunderclap of unity and resolve.

Amidst this staggering display of solidarity, Bobi Wine standing as a beacon of hope, his presence electrifying the already charged atmosphere. His voice, amplified by the raw energy of the crowd, and the clarion call for change is  echoing through the hearts of all who are present.

And the question is one. Who's responsible for this scene. Could it be the minister of international affairs who recently commanded police to give liberty for wines gathering? Is it a genuine faith in the people about possible change? Where is this leaving other political players? Is the country witnessing a revolution? 

These questions are piling within the observers. For now we're here to witness what happens next.

MY STORY - Honorable Nathan Nandala Mafaabi

Image
In a dossier making rounds on social media platforms, a revealing narrative of how Hon. Nandala Mafaabi has navigated the intricate and often perilous world of political maneuvering to attain the regional success that the Bugisu region is so proud of has raised many eyebrows with its startling details; SP THE FRONTIERS  The Beginning In 2000, while working at the World Bank, I heard that Dr Kizza Besigye would contest for the national presidency in 2001, and I affirmed that he would be my candidate. Earlier on in 1996, while still working at the Ministry of Finance, I had met Dr. Besigye as we investigated tax fraud in an organisation called Danze. This organization was run by high-profile people in government and business moguls. Goods imported by this company would be registered as ‘goods on transit’ yet they were being sold here in Uganda. The government officials would falsify stamps from exit points like Koboko and Mutukula, claiming the goods had left the country....

UNMASKING THE TRUTH IN THE THEATRE OF POWER

Image
In the grand theatre of Ugandan politics, a curious spectacle unfolds. Politicians, those seasoned thespians, don their finest masks and step onto the stage, each more elaborate than the last. There's the mask of the benevolent leader, all smiles and promises, bestowed upon the weary electorate like a gleaming talisman. Beneath it, of course, lies the face of self-interest, wrinkled by years of backroom deals and whispered secrets. Next, we have the mask of the devout patriot, wrapped tightly in the national flag, exuding an aura of unwavering loyalty. This mask is especially popular around election time, when every speech is peppered with fervent declarations of love for the motherland. Yet, peel back this patriotic carrot, and one finds a well-practiced cynicism, ready to trade principles for power at the drop of a ballot. Among these, the most colorful mask is the one of the "Man of the People," tinted with the bright hues of populist rhetoric. This mask sm...
