*Why fake that he is sick? He is in USA for orders from his masters in CIA.
He says he hates m7. But he likes Kagame. Does that make sense? It is sad it is only running dogs that are masquerading as leaders in Africa.* Besigye breaks silence on ‘ill health’ [image: Dr Kizza Besigye] Dr Kizza Besigye Posted Sunday, November 27 2011 at 00:00 Dr Kizza Besigye, rumoured over the weekend on social networks to have passed on in the US, last evening said except for a “troublesome flu” attack, he is in good health. Speaking to this newspaper by telephone from his family’s home in New York, the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) party leader urged his supporters to “relax” and ignore people “anxious to pronounce me dead”. “How many times am I going to die?” he asked in a guttural voice. “I am sure there are many people who would wish me dead, or are even working towards it. I think some of their handlers say, ‘we have done the work and he is about to die’.” The three-time presidential challenger to President Museveni, to whom he was a personal physician during the NRA guerrilla war, however, did not say who was after his life. About a month ago, his party officials made allegations both in Parliament and again at a press conference that top security officials were coordinating a government plot to snuff out the opposition leader. Government described the allegation as “ridiculous”. In the interview, Dr Besigye said his last Sunday’s flight to the US was a scheduled trip, not an emergency one for medical attention. He said: “If there was need to see a doctor (in the US), I would. But for now, there is none.” On Thursday, FDC vice President for Eastern Uganda, Ms Salaam Musumba, lent credence to the rumours when she said they had, as party leaders, agreed that Dr Besigye flies to US for thorough medical checkup following “bad allergic reaction” that “really puts him down.” Share This Story 21Share<http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.monitor.co.ug%2FNews%2FNational%2F-%2F688334%2F1279654%2F-%2Fbgpamkz%2F-%2Findex.html&t=Besigye%20breaks%20silence%20on%20%E2%80%98ill%20health%E2%80%99%C2%A0-%20National%C2%A0%7Cmonitor.co.ug&src=sp> Related Stories - Besigye in United States for medical attention<http://www.monitor.co.ug/News/National/-/688334/1278470/-/bgq1h0z/-/index.html> “When I tell people that his biggest problem is flu, they don’t take it seriously [yet] he has not been improving,” she told Sunday Monitor on Thursday. Yesterday, Dr Besigye spoke of a “troublesome flu” attack that he said began before his travel to the UK a fortnight ago, and that the cold has lasted for weeks. “I left home with that flu,” he said, “and it was not that it was causing me a lot of problems.” Both Dr Besigye and wife Winnie Byanyima, who is the director for Gender at the United Nation’s Development Programme (UNDP), said they re-united to celebrate the US national Thanksgiving holiday together. “We have just had a lively thanksgiving day with family and friends,” Ms Byanyima wrote in an email preceding our telephone conversation with the husband. Asked about the purpose of his travel, Dr Besigye, who promised to return to Uganda in a week’s time, said: “I came to visit my family and I also have other engagements here.” He offered no specifics. The opposition politician’s health and safety have been a matter of concern among his supporters, and the nervousness worsened after police detective, Gilbert Bwana Arinaitwe, assaulted him during a brutal arrest during the height of the walk-to-work demonstrations in May. Dr Besigye was flown for treatment at Nairobi Hospital, half-blind. This is after Mr Arinaitwe was caught on camera dousing him with liquid pepper, including directly into his eyes, after the police detective smashed the windows of Besigye’s Land cruiser with a sledge hammer and pistol butt. *[email protected]*
