The aging strongman Yoweri Museveni has descended upon the desperate villages of Busoga, spewing venom and twisting the knife in old wounds. From a staged spectacle in Kamuli District, the eternal ruler shrieked at cowering crowds, demanding they bow to his National Resistance Movement. He viciously mocked any voice of dissent, shrieking that his opponents offer nothing but empty words.
This political vampire, who has clung to power for decades, brazenly paraded his so-called achievements before a captive audience. He dredged up the ghost of a terrible tyrant and the bloody chaos of a bygone era, a desperate and cruel attempt to paint himself as a savior. He wept crocodile tears over murdered local heroes, a transparent and heartless ploy to secure loyalty from a grieving region.
His lavish promises of paved roads and glittering factories are nothing but fairy tales for the impoverished masses. He boasts of phantom jobs while common folk struggle to feed their families. He trotted out one struggling farmer as a pathetic prop in his theater of prosperity. All the while, his own wife and cronies conspired in the shadows, whispering commands for total obedience. This is not a campaign. It is a brazen shakedown of a terrorized populace.
