Today, Hon. Ssegirinya Muhammad visited me at home in Magere. I welcomed him from the long period of illegal detention. I also got a call from Hon. Allan Sewanyana. Both comrades assured me that their commitment to our struggle for freedom and democracy still stands firm. https://t.co/qwiHlMFcYI
Earlier today, we commissioned the National Unity Platform / #PeoplePower Kunga Mobilisation Committees at our new Headquarters at Kavule. I charged the comrades to go back to their respective districts and mobilise our people for the revolution against the military regime. https://t.co/ZTguIYV3p9
Later on our way from the burial, we passed through Iganga, Kayunga and other towns where we were given a warm and resounding reception by the residents. Happy to see our people still committed to the cause for change. People Power, Our Power! #WeAreRemovingaDictator https://t.co/k8lNDI0E2W
We can only bring an end to this indignity by putting an end to the very regime that has brought so much suffering to so many people. https://t.co/vn8vRt0oCv
We also interacted with many, who were violently evicted from their land over speculation of the Oil Pipeline, and have never been compensated or relocated. We delivered the very much needed food relief as well as other household items to assist them. https://t.co/y0Z6Qwodxk
mothers give birth assisted by untrained local birth attendants who do not have the basic items such as gloves. Besides exposure to infections, many have lost lives while giving birth.

The eviction razed down their ancestral burial grounds. Most children aren't going to school. The few who can afford the 20,000 schools fees for a term study in dilapidated structures or under trees. Many young children are now mothers. There is no antenatal care; https://t.co/iYyJ9xKHHx
These families now live in shacks. The people here say they have not seen any government official, and have been left at the mercy of nature. They struggle to find food, clean water and access to medication. They do not have burial grounds for their loved ones! https://t.co/6JjHEvNpXL

Thank you Comrade @brucenahabwe1 for the wonderful gift. It'll be a constant reminder of the price many have had to pay to further the struggle for freedom. One important aspect about this drawing is that it's incomplete- a clear message the struggle is still on. Aluta continua! https://t.co/9sfKomT2wY
