Open letter to Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba

Persecution of writers like Kakwenza Rukirabashaija and the crackdown on independent voices only deepen the crisis of legitimacy. Worse, it opens the door for foreign manipulation. The imperialist powers have always played the long game — using NGOs, funding opposition figures, and exploiting internal divisions. Libya is a glaring example: once the most prosperous nation in Africa under Muammar Gaddafi’s pan-African vision, it now lies in ruins, partitioned by NATO bombs and puppet militias. Uganda’s oil wealth in the Albertine Graben is no shield —it is a target. Like Congo’s cobalt or Sudan’s gold, it will draw vultures. If you continue down this path, the same forces that armed your father yesterday may arm your enemies tomorrow. Imperialism has no loyalty — it rewards obedience and punishes defiance only when it is not useful. Do not be misled by the illusion of invincibility. Military uniforms do not make revolutionaries. True liberation comes from aligning with the people — the peasants, the workers, the urban youth — not from emulating foreign models of repression.

Pan-Africanism teaches us that our strength lies in unity, in economic self-determination, and in decolonizing the African mind. Marxism-Leninism teaches us that the State must serve the proletariat, not dominate them. Ask yourself: who does your leadership serve? Rwanda’s model, built on ethnic centralism and surveillance, is not one Uganda should imitate. Uganda is more than a nation — it is a reflection of the continent’s contradictions and its possibilities. Its diverse peoples can coexist if given a stake in their own governance. To militarise politics is to betray the very spirit of pan-African revolution. General Muhoozi, history is watching. Will you be remembered as the guardian of a dying dynasty — or as someone who broke ranks with power to embrace the people’s cause? There is still time to return to the path of justice, to uphold the dignity of the African working class, and to reject the neo-colonial yoke disguised as “security cooperation.” Revolution is not a slogan. It is the organized might of a people conscious of their destiny. Choose wisely. In struggle and solidarity,
