Bobi Wine to Europe: “Stop funding Uganda’s dictator”

By Lawrence Mayanja

The Principal of Uganda’s main opposition party,  National Unity Platform (NUP) Hon Robert Kyagulanyi Sentamu yesterday delivered a speech about human rights in Uganda at the Geneva Human rights convention summit in Switzerland.

In his speech, Kyagulanyi said that Ugandans are living in fear, great pain, and treated as animals for the last 36 years ever since Gen. Museveni captured power.

Kyagulanyi added that Museveni treats political opponents as enemies and uses the military to suppress, arrest, torture, and kill supporters of the National Unity Platform and all those who disagree with him.

Kyagulanyi also added that Uganda witnessed one of the most violent unfair elections in the world history in 2021 where Gen. Museveni rigged the election and declared himself the winner.

Kyagulanyi has asked the European powers to stand on the right side of history by stopping to fund the government of Gen. Museveni because it is illegitimate and has caused unending suffering to the people of Uganda.

 *About the Summit* 

The Geneva Summit for Human Rights and Democracy is a major conference that shines a spotlight on urgent human rights situations that require global attention. It provides human rights heroes, activists and former political prisoners with a unique platform to testify about their personal struggles for democracy and freedom, while building an international community to take on dictatorships.

The Summit is held around the annual session of the United Nations Human Rights Council, when foreign ministers gather in Geneva, to force critical issues onto the international agenda.
