Museveni Rants Of “I Will Smash Pro-Democracy Activists And Political Opponents…” Are Rants Of A Dying Presidency

Uganda’s beleaguered dictator Yoweri Museveni has appeared on a video recording, which is circulating on the social networks, savagely threatening that he will crash (BRUTALISE AND KILL) political opponents and pro-democracy activists who will dare oppose his plan to hold elections that are not free and fair.

Museveni, who has been in power for nearly 30 years, and numerously forced his way back to state house through multi-fold elections that were rigged in his favour, has stubbornly refused to allow the passing of the necessary political and electoral reforms which Ugandans have been vociferously demanding to be put in place before elections can be held.

If Museveni’s intention was to scare the masses into submission and unquestioning compliance, by the look of it, his roaring disposition seems to be triggering instead the very opposite reaction from Ugandans everywhere. The People of Uganda have, evidently, lost all their fear, and they are not afraid to show that they are no longer scared of Museveni the dictator.

What Ugandans are witnessing are the mad rants from a man who seems completely off the rails. From the tone of his rants, he seems to be extremely scared of the coming People Power Revolt.

These are the last shouts of a dying presidency, a presidency which will, without doubt, be smashed by the people's revolutionary onslaught in the months to come.

These are the last kicks of the monstrous regime, and Ugandans will be more than elated to see its back.

What Museveni should do, instead of shouting obscenely like someone who has lost his sense of rational behaviour, is to get real and wake up to the approaching volcanic eruption of the People's anger and frustrations. He needs to hid the advice of the American President Barak Obama and voluntarily step down in a peaceful transition of power that will allow Ugandans to build a new democratic and politically stable nation that is devoid of the type of Big-Man and One-Man dictatorship that has run unhindered for three whole decades.

Museveni is best advised to carefully reflect on the recent tragic destinies of the likes of Libya's Col Muammar Gaddafi, Saddam Hussein of Iraq, who perished so tragically after they roared and raved with unspeakable threats, abuse and warnings in the name of drawing the final line in their defences against all those who were opposing their continued rule.

Col Gaddafi, for one called opposition activists his “rats” and his son Saif was busy calling them “cockroaches”.

Saddam Hussein kept a gun in his sitting room and kept firing it to show how easy it was going to be to deal with the opposing masses. Where are they?

In Ivory Coast, President Laurent Gbagbo confidently yelled out stark warnings, promising to ‘completely’ crash those who were determined to create a new democratic nation without Gbagbo.

The beleaguered Laurent Gbagbo went ahead and unleashed incredible violence on innocent Ivorian citizens. What followed is summarised in this passage that has been documented for all to see – “…In October 2011, the International Criminal Court opened an investigation into acts of violence committed during the conflict after the election, and ICC chief prosecutor Luis Moreno Ocampo visited the country (Ivory Coast). The ICC formally issued an arrest warrant for Gbagbo, charging him with four counts of crimes against humanity – murder, rape and other forms of sexual violence, persecution and "other inhuman acts".

The former Ivorian president is now lingering in a cell at the ICC, not far away from another former African war lord, Charles Tayler of Liberia, whose lust for ruthlessness and mass murder is well documented.

If Museveni seriously believes that in this day and age a despotic ruler can go on the rampage and massacre thousands, or even hundreds, of innocent pro-democracy activists, as he seems to be planning to do, and run away with it, then he must be living in cloud cook land.

Museveni must understand that Ugandan People are no longer scared of him and his threats are wholly inconsequential.

The people are no longer afraid of such irrational and illogical threats. Look how even his own NRM party members, his own government and NRM leaders, even members of the NRM Central Executive Committee, have lost all fear and are openly seeking to remove him from State House.

The People’s Struggle for a new democratic Uganda without Museveni is in full swing and soon it will go into the highest and most decisive gear – whether Museveni likes it or not.

The choice of what to do and how to deal with the genuine and fully constitutional aspirations of a people who are no longer willing to live as slaves under his rule, is purely his and his alone., for it is he, Museveni, alone who will have to live with the consequences.
