Uganda the pearl of Africa . The size of your enemies will decides the size of your rewards. The clearer your goals the greater your faith. Before the 2011 Elections Uganda is going to witness Imeasurable changes that will shock the living day light out of everyone. what we though was not possible is going to be possible, the motherland has revenged, events are going to unfold one after another, The untouchables will become touchable. the broken will become masters at mending, miracles will happen as quick as tradegies. Bad times will bring people together, remember that You can never outgrow warfare you must simply learn how to fight. the prophet has spoken. - Prophet Sat, 06 Mar 2010 20:58:47 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/the-last-word/the-last-word/2557-musevenis-dance-with-donors#comment-24781 Deep down Museveni, like all Ugandans, knows Ugandans are so divided they would never mount a unified effort to oust him, so he manipulates the sentiments which keep Ugandans divided: tribalism, parachialism, greed, and selfishness. All Ugandan tribes are tribalistic and divided. What Andrew has so eloquent written is accurate. But "divide and conquer" is not new. It is a technique that the British with a small population and resources used to subdue their entire world. It always works. All Museveni is doing is pressing the right buttons and voila everybody goes along with the program. It is not rocket science. - Ocheto Sat, 06 Mar 2010 01:06:05 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/the-last-word/the-last-word/2557-musevenis-dance-with-donors#comment-24780 Mwenda tell me what is the logic behind (M7) going to landslide region in full Military atire armed to the teeth carrying an AK47, Is budduda a war zone? is he trying to scare these innocent victims to vote for him or what or is he scare of the victims? There is a saying that Every problem is a wisdom problem, but when your heart decides to the destination, the mind will design the map to reach it. It is high time ugandans wake up, its like we are all under (M7)s spell. Ugandans can never stand up for themselves, they live in Fear of fear or Fear of unknown. they all wait for foreign saviours like, donors, US or liberation war like 1979, If M7 threatens them they all vote NRM. yet they are Oppositions supporters. help us mwenda get to the citizens to become Bold. - police Fri, 05 Mar 2010 22:37:49 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/the-last-word/the-last-word/2557-musevenis-dance-with-donors#comment-24777 What Andrew posited reads like a Mafia movie script. Museveni indeed operates like a Mafia drug baron (boss). In the eyes of an ordinary peasant, a Mafia boss is a benevolent gentleman. He is often well known by the police chief (donors); who is on his payroll. The police can't arrest him for lack of evidences; because he does not handle drugs (corruption) directly. A Mafia boss does not soil his hands with drug or blood. He hires goons (RDCs, DISO, ISO, etc.) to do the dirty work. If a key goon gets arrested (Global, Gavi, NSSF, CHOGM etc.), the Boss intervenes indirectly; through indefinite court cases, Minority Report and characters like Hon Kabakumba Matsiko. The proliferated new districts serve like drug drop off points and the rest is the analysis Andrew has just put forward. - Lakwena Fri, 05 Mar 2010 14:50:24 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/the-last-word/the-last-word/2557-musevenis-dance-with-donors#comment-24774 Thanks Andrew for all you are doing. You finally got me to respond to the cry of ordinary Ugandans. See, there needs to be freedom of expression and to a large extent freedom to the media to be able to reach people in the villages. These fathers and mothers of the nation have no choice but to listen to the NRM propaganda as the government controls what gets out in the media. This keeps Ugandan minds corrupted by their ideology. Look at some of the reporting about the donations to the landslide affected areas, putting NRM caucus as one of the main donors. This is totally rubbish as all the aid has come from external donors and that what the NRM government or officials contributes is public money anyway. There is no need to import men from Pakistan or Isreal. YOU JUST WATCH !! - Shadreck Fri, 05 Mar 2010 12:05:27 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/the-last-word/the-last-word/2557-musevenis-dance-with-donors#comment-24772 Andrew, this is great insight and brilliance at display, yet only a courageous character with integrity like you can dare put it in such a perspective, loud and clear. I think you equate to more than 300 sleeping Ugandan MPs as an advocate for the depressed citizens! Soon we taxpayers will have a fat parliament of 430 MPs sucking the very last drops from the coffers from this unproductive peasant economy, where are we heading Ugandans?!!! - Russo Fri, 05 Mar 2010 11:09:33 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/the-last-word/the-last-word/2557-musevenis-dance-with-donors#comment-24770 Thanks MR Pager Kintu. You seem to be new in this electoral process. All you have said is good and has always been done to an extent, but the main problem is the EC. Did you know Mr kintu that there are Ghost polling stations ? These are created by EC the blue eyed fellows. The elections are not rigged on the polling day. It is a pre planned arrangement . Without the overhaul of entire EC I do not see any thing good coming out . It is funny that the reason that took m7 and other to the bush,has been put aside and instead (M7) is doing the same if not worse than the predecessors did . Shame upon M7. God bless Uganda. - Rugangura Fri, 05 Mar 2010 03:29:27 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/the-last-word/the-last-word/2557-musevenis-dance-with-donors#comment-24769 Thanks MR Pager Kintu.

Then may be the tick will go! - Paget Kintu Fri, 05 Mar 2010 00:00:04 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/the-last-word/the-last-word/2557-musevenis-dance-with-donors#comment-24766 I believe one man can not run a country. All ugandan men have been looking for the last 20 some years watching a couple of pple ruining the country. Ugandan men are a JOKE, u chicken on everything. Its high time Ugandan women start importing Pakistan,israel men in the country as they have the bravery to fight for their country. How can a country put up with a m7 for this long IN THIS CENTURY. - mukasa Thu, 04 Mar 2010 22:44:49 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/the-last-word/the-last-word/2557-musevenis-dance-with-donors#comment-24764 Andrew, you've rightly articulated the state of affairs in the present Uganda. Uganda is headed for ruin in the style of DR Congo like during the era of Mobutu, the corrupt, Kleptomaniac leader who saw an otherwise a potential superpower grind to a situation of near nothingness. Museveni and Mobutu are the same in character and leadership style. From 2000 Uganda started decelerating fast and undoing the good of the past. It's not going to be long when this lorry-Uganda will reach a cliff and eventually crush into abyss after the driver has jumped off. Donors cannot help it. They are doing their part. They can threaten M7 if Ugandans show signs. But if they remain quiet it means they are happy with him so he will keep being "oiled" while the rest wither into destitution and death! - OJA Thu, 04 Mar 2010 19:35:42 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/the-last-word/the-last-word/2557-musevenis-dance-with-donors#comment-24726 Oh yes , we have been here and we are still here as before , donors dont mind the impact of corruption on the local community , they are interested in statistics and numbers like those m7 reads out when celebrating his assumed independence at Kololo, hmmm , Im now very worried even the church is falling victim of m7's carrot and stick modus operandi. But we got antidote for m7's desease ,we cant let him do as he wishes ,We are 30 million Ugandans and just ONE m7 has no right to condem us and our children to death , NO IT WONT HAPPEN , there is a SILVER BULLET - Major Adam Kifaliso Wed, 03 Mar 2010 11:00:17 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/the-last-word/the-last-word/2557-musevenis-dance-with-donors#comment-24716 Top anylasis mwenda, M7 wants to cling to power like a tick, cut the blood supply and it will drop down. - jordan Wed, 03 Mar 2010 02:06:57 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/the-last-word/the-last-word/2557-musevenis-dance-with-donors#comment-24713 Top anylasis mwenda, M7 wants to cling to power like a tick, cut the blood supply and it will drop down. - jordan Wed, 03 Mar 2010 02:05:27 +0100
