Tinyefunza Samson Mande Mugisha Muntu and Kiiza Besigye do not need support.
And we need to be very clear with that statement. Had these people needed
the support of the people they would have been in UAH answering straight
questions and selling their agenda. Abbey Ssemuwemba said the other day that
Mugisha Muntu and Kiiza Besigye read everything I post in the forum ye they
do not respond. Why? Because I do not matter to them as you do not matter to
them for hey do not need you or any other Ugandan to lead that country. They
have what they need, and it is a gun. The reason you see Tinyefunza and the
rest of them going out there to make public statements, is to make
themselves known that they actually exist and they want to throw one thief
out of the state house to go in for they see no reason why it is not their
turn now. So never delude yourself that they need you or your support.
Kapish !!!!!!!!!!!!

Forum;
I tend to agree with the writer! The fact that this guy Sesuja, has a shady
history, and now wants to rid Ugandans of the Kampala regime, is not enough
for any sensible person to give him support. If anything, the best effort
from Sejusa in this struggle, at this current moment; is to tell the world
what madness took place when he was incharge, which secret tortures chambers
he manned and whose lives did they end there etc. Those revelations will put
him in stead than any amount of kalashnikov he can mount. Sejusa should come
out and squeal, ask for apology particularly, from the Acoli people and the
rest of Ugandans before he can be considered worthy.

Ugly past: Gen David Sejusa
Gen David Sejusa has centred his drive to change Uganda on unseating
President Museveni; but many will tell you that the first major opponent
Sejusa has to overcome is not Museveni but his own past.
He is certainly dogged by a chequered past and, some in the opposition and
NRM believe, that makes Sejusa hard to sell as a credible voice of regime
change.
Since he fled to the UK in April, Gen Sejusa, the former coordinator of
intelligence services, has tried to make a case for regime change in
Kampala.
He recently formed a platform, Free Uganda, which he says he will use to
dislodge the NRM government using means permissible by the Constitution.
Yet in his zeal to expose the dictatorial tendencies of a government he once
served, Sejusa remains haunted by a dark past. He is seen by some as one of
the avid enforcers of the regimes highhanded actions to silence dissenting
voices.
It is a past the general has tried to exorcise by claiming that whatever he
did, he did at the urging of higher authority yet not many seem
unconvinced. For instance, as a commander of the UPDF in the north in the
early 1990s, he was outstanding for his ruthlessness not only towards the
rebels but also towards civilians he perceived to be rebel sympathisers.
He also reportedly played a key role in the 2005 siege of the High court by
the infamous Black Mamba and in quelling the 2009 riots in Buganda where
more than 30 people died. With such a tainted record, some people in the
opposition and NRM are convinced that Sejusa might not be the right person
to advance the cause of justice and democracy.
Writing in the Daily Monitor of October 4, 2013, Augustine Ruzindana, a
former IGG and now member of the opposition FDC, said Sejusa cannot wish
away his past.
Indeed some of us in the opposition had also been in the Movement for a
long time and at fairly senior levels; so, we are in position to advise
those who join opposition ranks at a later stage, that the roles individuals
played and their history and conduct will inevitably be examined, Ruzindana
wrote.
There are those that still doubt Sejusa indeed fell out with Museveni. These
people believe Sejusa is simply an NRM plant (mole) in the opposition.
Featuring on KFMs Hot Seat last week, Col Samson Mande, another renegade
soldier exiled in Sweden, said Sejusa must convince everyone that he has
detached himself from the NRM establishment.
Mande pointed out that Sejusa had neither resigned nor been sacked by the
government. Ofwono Opondo, the executive director of the Uganda Media Centre
media, said, while it was possible that Sejusas desire to fight for
democracy is genuine, the circumstances under which he fled the country cast
doubt on his ability to lead a struggle for justice.
To justify why he ran away, he says he is fighting for democracy. Do you
have to fight for democracy from outside the country? Ofwono told The
Observer today.
Besigye vs Sejusa
Many analysts have drawn parallels between Sejusas current predicament and
that of Dr Kizza Besigye in 1999 after he authored a document highlighting
how the NRM had veered off the democratic path. And, indeed, in more ways
than one, Sejusa and Besigye have a number of similarities.
Besides having been bosom friends, they are independent-minded and brilliant
people who will not hesitate to speak their mind. Yet when push comes to
shove, Besigye appears to have more endurance and resolve.
Memories are still vivid of Sejusas U-turn in 1998, when he returned to a
government and army that he had denounced as dictatorial, a couple of years
before.
Secondly, Besigyes relatively clean public record while still serving in
the government, has served to endear him to more people. While there are
some people, especially the youth, who have jumped onto Sejusas bandwagon,
he does not have a mass appeal comparable to Besigyes.
Even the major opposition parties, much as they can work with him, have not
been emphatic in stipulating how this alliance will work out.
However, there are some people, like Maj John Kazoora, who opine that Sejusa
should not be judged by his past. Kazoora, who fought alongside Sejusa in
the NRA bush war before falling out with the regime, said all leaders commit
mistakes.
Must your past hinder your future? Look around, we have people who have a
questionable past in positions of leadership. They are not any better [than
Sejusa], Kazoora, now a supporter of FDC, said.
