Opinion: We Should All Shout Against The Besigye- Bobi Wine Engineered Catastrophe Before It’s Late
by
EDRINE BENESA
This
week could be the time history will be written as the advent of the
country's darkest moment following the conclusion of a devilish deal
between two former Presidential failures- Rtd Col Kizza Besigye Kifefe
and Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, alias Bobi Wine to send the country and
all its inhabitants back into the dark days where President Museveni
redeemed it from.
The
purported United (Evil) forces For Change has this time come completely
undressed that any sane person can foresee the evil its destined to
impose on our beautiful, peaceful country. Not only that, two of the
country's most notorious troublemakers masquerading as leaders have come
together to unite their evil intentioned deputies in vying for the
blood of innocent Ugandans. What's even more regrettable is that the two
leaders unveiled their insatiable blood thirst in an announcement of
planned demonstrations at a time when Uganda is jubilating over the
successful ongoing Non Alignment Movement ( NAM) which translates into
good publicity for the country, its economy and it's people.
2011
might be over a decade behind us but the deadly ditch into which Dr
Besigye, fresh from losing an election to President Museveni, attempted
to plunge this country into with his infamous walk to work gospel. Had
it not been the ever ready, effective security under the tutelage of
General Museveni, another Libya or Iraq or Sudan would have been the
case here.
These factors
in our contemporary past verily explains why Ugandans have always opted
against regime change in massive numbers at every election. Whoever
listens and follows the gospel of the war mongers advocating for regime
change through demonstrations and uprisings have perhaps not witnessed
or followed the ugly past this country has been into. The precious blood
our ancestors shed in the process of building this nation should just
be enough for us to zealously safeguard whatever gains we have attained
on the front of national security.
As
we labor to inquest into the widely used narrative that regime change
through elections is out of the possibilities for those seeking to oust
Museveni, we also need to critically examine why this narrative, of all
people, is spearheaded by men who have either challenged in an
election for multiple times, or those seeking the same in future.
Without
necessarily being a prophet of doom, I want to categorically let us all
know that our fellow countrymen have been busy cooking disaster at both
Katonga Road and Kavule- Makerere which they have already announced are
ready to serve in form of their planned demonstrations. Similar
machinations in the past have washed nations off the world map or set
them on course for their unforgettable catastrophes. In Rwanda, the
1990s is too recent for us to forget what happened in the infamous Hutu-
Tutsi clashes. The same can be said of the 2nd World War which claimed
people in tens of millions. Other global wars, both ongoing and past,
have been caused by leaders who will stop at nothing in their quest for
power, and the inability of the masses to stop them. Should we look on
and pretend that we have not been alerted in time, when this eminent
disaster strikes, we shall all have no one but ourselves to blame.
We
are at a time when we desperately need the participation of every
national in our concerted push for an advanced country. Whoever, thus,
tries to draw a wedge among us is an enemy of this country who deserves
to be treated as such. These are actually worse off than the Allied
Democratic Forces because unlike the latter, they come with their
sinister agendas hidden in the veil of fighting for democracy. Deep in
their hearts, though, they know that their goal is to throw the lives of
whatever number of people on the line as a price for them to take
power. As they try to convince some gullible followers of theirs that
they intend to demonstrate against bad roads, they won't explain the
government's enviable strides in infrastructural development in the
country in comparison to other countries in the same economic bracket.
Don't
say you were not warned. We can jointly stop this madness by calling
this devilish agents of destruction to order. It doesn't matter which
religion, tribe, or political party you subscribe to, afterall, when
their actions ignite, we shall all be bound to the same fate.
