Yesterday, I addressed Ugandans living in the diaspora at the 3rd NUP Diaspora Convention of USA that is currently underway in Washington DC. I appreciated our diaspora comrades for generously funding the Convention and supporting activities of the struggle back home, contrary to the regime's false claims that we are backed by foreigners. I also acknowledged their dedication to the struggle and emphasised the vital role they play in maintaining momentum, advocating for change worldwide, and exposing the atrocities of the Museveni regime. Besides uniting comrades, the main purpose of this convention is to quicken the end of Museveni's dictatorship. Once that is done, we shall embark on building a new, free and prosperous Uganda that guarantees equal service and opportunity to all citizens. The duty to redeem Uganda ultimately rests with us, its citizens, and not anyone else. I concluded by rallying our comrades in the diaspora to renew their commitment to the cause, and urged them to continue taking all necessary action to free Uganda.
Five years ago today during the Arua Municipality by-election, dictator Museveni’s guards shot dead our brother comrade Yasin Kawuma in a failed attempt on my life. He was first of the many martyrs that our struggle against Museveni's misrule has registered along the way. We continue doing our best to support his family, and to push forward with the struggle as that is the only way to ensure that his death was never in vain. May his soul, like the rest of our fallen comrades, keep resting well. #WeAreRemovingaDictator
