UGANDA: Muhoozi obliged to avenge an attack on Museveni

GEN. MUHOOZI IS UNDER OBLIGATION TO AVENGE AN ATTACK ON MUSEVENI

Around March 2015, Museveni warned that whoever chose to hurt him would meet stiff resistance from his son, Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba. Museveni made the remarks during the swearing in ceremony of the newly appointed Chief Justice and some cabinet ministers.

He said;

“In the old days if one killed my brother, one was bound to revenge or his spirit will haunt him. When God gave me a son (Brig Muhoozi) long before I thought of being President, I called him Muhoozi. He will avenge me."

Immediately after the chaos that erupted in Arua last week, the police isued a statement through its Spokesman. He said that Museveni’s motorcade had been attacked at around 6:30Pm by what he termed as hooligans, as he left Booma grounds where he held the last rally for the ruling NRM candidate.

“One of his lead cars was attacked and smashed by hooligans that were donning colors of one of the contestants, Kassiano Wadri,” said the police mouthpiece.

Photos released by State House earlier in the evening showed a shattered outer layer of the rear windscreen of the President’s car. The police statement confirmed that one person was shot dead as “Security forces quickly intervened to calm the situation; which became riotous as many were pelting stones to the convoy of the president, which is unacceptable.”

“Unfortunately in the scuffle one person was fatally injured in car number UAT 416K Tundra,” he said. The car belongs to MP Robert Kyagulanyi and the deceased; the MP confirmed was his own driver.

According to the police mouthpiece, earlier in the day at around 4pm, the president had been attacked by the same group of opposition supporters as he was making his way toward Booma Grounds.
The group, he said, this time used a grader to intercept the presidential convoy.
The grader, Reg. No. UAP 064R, which according to Kayima was wrapped in the same colors as those that attacked the president and those that smashed his car at Prisons cell, was impounded and detained at Arua Police Station.

Obviously the Police Spokesman had let the cat out of the bag. The regime has attempted to make up the story exonerating its security machinery but it has miserably failed to add up. That is why in his latest statement, Museveni out rightly expresses his frustration thus;

"The fake news generators and even some of the elements of the Security forces are concentrating on the stoning of the President’s car. Please, that is not the most serious problem here. That President has the capacity, either alone or in company with his personal security, to defend himself, not only against stone throwers but against any attacker."

Of course, such an incident is not only embarrassing to his 32 years military dictatorship, but it also exposes a serious lapse in his security detail. For a presidential convoy to be stoned by young people who were even not yet born when he came to power 32 years ago is a curse. On the other hand, in the event that the situation was exaggerated to justify the violent response, it is boomeranging on the regime's fake image. That is why the version of blocking Museveni's convoy using the grader is not being pursued.

Whatever the case, Museveni came under attack and as he had earlier warned, his son had to avenge. He can only avenge if he is in direct command of the army and that's why Museveni had to fix him at the helm of the army. Forget the mockery of his being a mere Senior Presidential Advisor on Special Operations. He is the overall commander of all the security forces.

INFORMATION IS POWER AND THE PROBLEM OF UGANDA IS MUSEVENISM
