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. We were told that malaria, cough, pneumonia & diarrhea have left many especially children dead https://t.co/MuoSKmtcvd
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
About 6000 people from the indigenous communities of Bakiga, Banyoro and Alur were evicted from about 1,300 acres in Kijayo, Buhaguzi county in Kikube district to pave way for the cane plantation. To date, the victims of the eviction that left many dead haven't been compensated. https://t.co/DPAnoawCvE
We have spent the day in Bunyoro Sub-region where we visited about 500 households of our who were evicted by Hoima Sugar Limited in 2015 under the watch of the military, and are still helpless and have nowhere to go to. We visited them at Kijayo Internally Displaced Camp. https://t.co/2HqbQVOODI
Grateful to the people of this area for such a warm reception. I challenged them to be challenged by this elderly comrade, who despite his advanced age continues to struggle for a better country. https://t.co/G7aJkmv16v
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
Our comrades who've been detained without trial for 2 years for having supported us in the 2021 election were brought to the Court Martial today morning. Sanya Muhydin (one of the comrades) has protested the political persecution they are enduring disguised as a criminal trial! https://t.co/NFFKIyVZAO
The students of Uganda are finally reclaiming their voice.

Congratulations Your Grace Paul Ssemogere upon reaching your 1st anniversary as Archbishop of Kampala Archdiocese. Thank you for constantly denouncing the injustice and oppression that Ugandans endure on a daily basis. May God keep blessing and using you as a vessel of His glory. https://t.co/JMglUJezmR
When paranoia clouds the mind of a dictatorship in its final days, even a simple victory march looks like a political uprising in its final stages. https://t.co/IX7z73fJZm
Thank you @brucenahabwe1 for this important drawing which highlights what transpired on the 2020/21 campaign trail. Thank you for always lending your great talent to the struggle for freedom and democracy in Uganda. https://t.co/IHLImQdP9I
