And that is the sign of a failed opposition in any country. Yea people I
wrote the worst policies in the country including barter trade, so the
country is so dependent on donors money to a point that to fix the road to
Kabale we use your money, but from today stop to give Museveni the money.
Even Iddi Amin did not go this low.

Help Call: FDC president, Kiiza Besigye wants donors to help him to dislodge
Museveni from power
The opposition has asked the international community to press the NRM
government to make critical economic and political reforms.
In a hastily convened 40-minute meeting with the International Democratic
Union (IDU) caucus of IPU at the Grand Imperial Hotel on Monday, the
opposition accused the government of brutally suppressing alternative views.
In a paper titled Africa's Democratic Deficit: Uganda's Case, FDC president
Dr Kizza Besigye accused the NRM regime of using security forces to repress
Ugandans, and asked the international community to press the government to
undertake electoral, legal and institutional reforms.
Besigye said the international community, particularly donor countries, can
play a vital role in helping African countries like Uganda navigate the
political turbulence that is already threatening to degenerate into another
cycle of violent confrontations.
He accused the NRM regime, which he has thrice unsuccessfully tried to
dislodge through elections, of responding to mounting discontent from the
masses with repression.
He said President Museveni's administration is trying to enact repressive
legislations - for example the proposed constitutional amendment to remove
the right to bail for certain offenses, including rioting and economic
sabotage.
"This requires taking a firm and unequivocal stand on the regime's
observance of universal fundamental rights and freedoms. An international
framework to coordinate monitoring and deterrent action can be a timely and
effective initiative." he said.
Besigye is the chairperson of the Democratic Union of Africa and IDU vice
chairperson. The meeting was mainly attended by legislators and officials
from FDC and DP, Uganda's only political parties that are members of the
Democratic Union of Africa. Besigye told IPU delegates that President
Museveni's government reacts with maximum force and brutality towards
peaceful and legitimate demonstrations, adding that Ugandans will protest
even at the risk of being gunned down.
This unnecessary brutality, he cautioned, has the potential of degenerating
into wide-scale violent confrontations or even civil war. He called on the
international community to support strengthening of civil society and other
non-state institutions, including political parties. It is the competencies
of these, he stressed, that will ensure successful transition to a
democratic dispensation.
Besigye listed electoral reforms, decreasing public and military
expenditure, legal and institutional reforms and dismantling of patronage
systems as the five main issues that need to be urgently fixed. He used the
meeting to call for increased investment in physical and social
infrastructure, including education, health, agriculture and industrial
research.
To illustrate what he called the narrowing political space, the opposition
leader noted that a meeting they had scheduled earlier, at Fairway Hotel,
was stopped by the hotel's management at the last minute and without any
convincing explanation. Besigye also told the delegates that the government
declined to offer the opposition a slot in the IPU Assembly agenda to
present their alternative views, even though the IPU is here to discuss good
governance and accountability.
FDC's Jack Sabiiti, who is the MP for Rukiga county, implored the
international community to help Ugandans uproot the NRM regime.
"We're seated on dangerous ground,' he said.
"If the regime is not removed, Uganda may end up like Somalia."
Kampala Woman MP and FDC strongwoman, Nabilah Naggayi Ssempala, said the
brutal nature of the police is only a recipe for more confrontation and
violence.
"You can imagine, here, when you are in opposition, you have to seek
permission from the police to speak to the people you represent," she said.
"As we speak now, we're surrounded by the military."
