Why Ugandans of all political persuasions should reject European interventions into our domestic affairTHE LAST WORD | Andrew M.

Secondly, it is against international law to do so.

How this well-structured and managed organization may turn into a political battlefield, leaving Ugandans in the darkTHE LAST WORD | Andrew M. Mwenda | On Monday March 31, 2025, the Umeme concession will come to an end. Its assets will revert to their owner, UEDCL.

Why the president and his handlers are misguided on their party’s electoral prospects in KampalaTHE LAST WORD | Andrew M. Mwenda | I have been asking myself why someone in UPDF unleashed the violent crackdown on journalists and the people of Kawempe during recent byelection in that area. I talked to the CDF, Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba, who told me that he did not order the crackdown. During a cabinet meeting on Monday March 10, President Yoweri Museveni condemned the crackdown.

How every action taken by Besigye since his arrest has played into the president’s handsTHE LAST WORD | Andrew M. Mwenda | Since he was abducted from Nairobi, Dr. Kizza Besigye has been involved in a series of tactical battles in court. Yet each victory he has secured has left his strategic position very weak. Consequently, he has quite inadvertently handed President Yoweri Museveni the rope to hang him. Besigye believes that Museveni is a tyrant destroying Uganda.
