People came out to celebrate Dr. Kiiza Besigye's 69th birthday Tuesday evening in Kabale District. They showed support despite his staying in jail on weapons charges. Many fans across Uganda wrote birthday messages online for the retired colonel. His backers in Kabale went further with public celebrations at Bugongi roundabout in the Northern Division.

The district chairman of People's Front for Transition, Gideon Tumwesigye, led the group with fellow members Konrad Kimonge and Saul Kagyema Magyani. They brought cake and drinks to mark the special day. Supporters sang songs backing Besigye during the street celebration. Tumwesigye told everyone this event sent a clear message about their continued loyalty.

The group believes the government made up accusations against their leader. Their peaceful gathering showed they refuse to stay quiet about his case. The celebration proved that Besigye still has a strong influence even from behind bars. His followers wanted to make sure people know his ideas are spreading. Their actions demonstrated how one person can inspire others through tough times.
