Your nation exploits women like consumer products or advertising tools, calling upon customers to purchase them. You plaster your naked daughters across billboards in order to sell a product without any shame. You have brainwashed your daughters into believing they are liberated by wearing revealing clothes, yet in reality all they have liberated is your sexual desire. Osama Bin Laden said in a 2002 ‘letter to the American people’ denouncing American culture for exploiting women’s bodies.
Your reporting is either wrong or in some cases malicious. This is something I would really advise you to stop because this country belongs to all Ugandans, not newspapers or radio stations. President Museveni talking about the press which has been reporting the clashes between the security forces and the opposition. He said the laws he will propose will also punish media houses which misreport.
Col. Beasigye stooped so low to quarrel with police who are not of his level. I appeal to the people of the opposition to raise their level and have a civilised dialogue.

Kahinda Otafiire ciricising FDC leader for exchanging words with the police on April 28 when they blocked him at Mulago roundabout from entering the city.
If he is the minister for crocodiles, what does he know about dignity. I have worked closely with Otafiire and he should be the last person to talk about dignity. FDC Vice President Salaam Musumba reacting to Otafiire’s outbursts against her party president Besigye. Otafiire is known for his vulgar language and undignified utterances about his opponents or critics.
If we look to the east African Community, the events tomorrow [Museveni’s swearing in on May 12.] become even more interesting. Uganda is the only east African Community country without term limits now. This has repercussions for creative policy making, but also for the renewal of state bureaucracy.
