Bobi Wine: A Living Tribute, In Case He’s Killed By Museveni And Muhoozi

Sisters and brothers, Robert Kyagulanyi—known to the world as Bobi Wine—is one of the bravest young men Africa has ever produced.

He will eventually be President of Uganda—unless he is murdered by Gen. Yoweri Museveni and his imbecile son, Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba.

The two dictators would likely also pay the ultimate price if they kill him, unless they manage to flee.

Like anyone else, Bobi Wine does not want to die prematurely. He has a beautiful, patriotic wife, Barbie Kyagulanyi, a fighter in her own right. He has lovely children whom he wants to see grow up. He is only 42 years old and has a long life ahead of him.

He has openly admitted that he fears death, yet he has declared that freedom from the Museveni–Muhoozi tyranny can only come through struggle.

Anyone who opposes Museveni and Muhoozi lives permanently under the shadow of death.

Museveni once boasted, “We killed them, we killed them,” while discussing the war he prolonged in northern Uganda. That war was lucrative. Museveni loved Joseph Kony. He used Kony as a convenient bogeyman to extract Western arms and financial largesse under the guise of “the fight against terror.”

It is Museveni, beyond doubt, who has unleashed the most terror on Ugandans during his long reign of tyranny.

The list of massacres across the country is endless.

Some of the best documentation of Museveni’s killing fields can be found in Ebony Butler’s film A Brilliant Genocide and Mahmood Mamdani’s book Slow Poison.

A U.S. senator once told me, “Museveni believes the only way he can protect himself, his family, and their ill-gotten wealth is by remaining president.”

I told him, “That’s not a good enough reason. Since he has reliably served U.S. interests, why don’t you find him a place outside Uganda and protect him there?”

The two interpretations are not contradictory.

The youth of Uganda can decisively alter the trajectory of the nation’s history and consign dictatorship to the past.

Bobi Wine speaks directly to this historic moment.

By being willing to die for a better present and future, he has already won over the vast majority of the population.

He has inspired all sectors of Ugandan society—every social class, all age groups, especially the youth, and all regions and ethnic communities.

The youth, who make up the overwhelming majority of the population and must lead the charge against tyranny, are most inspired by one of their own—someone who rose from poverty by relying on natural gifts: intelligence, wisdom, communication skills, bravado, creativity, charm, charisma, and humility.

In Bobi Wine, they see what is possible for themselves.

Who can stop Africa’s youth, by sheer numerical force, from seizing power?

Not misguided elements of the armed forces.

Not the World Bank, the IMF, the EU, or UK funds flowing into blood-soaked hands.

Not the BBC’s strongman-is-good-for-Africa neocolonial propaganda.

Not the diabolical tortures of the fiend Gen. Muhoozi.

The present and the future belong to Africa’s youth.

This moment belongs to Robert Kyagulanyi.

Presumptive President-Elect of Uganda.
