Loyal subjects of Ssabasajja Kabaka Ronald Muwenda Mutebi from various states in America met last Saturday to discuss: (a) the NRM Government’s decision to bar the Kabaka from touring his Bugerere county; and (b) the subsequent unrest, where the Uganda police and army killed or seriously injured hundreds of Baganda, including children. The meeting observed a full 30 seconds of silence to honor those who were murdered by the NRM government during the unrest. After a comprehensive and emotional debate of options in the wake of the tragic September 10th events, the attendees identified a number of actions that they will take.
Finally, they unanimously adopted the following resolution:
RESOLUTION
We, loyal subjects of Ssabasajja Kabaka wa Buganda, from various States of the USA, meeting in New Jersey on September 12, 2009
HAVE RESOLVED:
- That Buganda, our motherland, is under occupation
- That this shall be the foremost thought in our minds
- That this shall be the sole matter for deliberation at all our meetings
- That we shall not budge on this matter, from this day forward, until Buganda is freed from occupation
YOUR COURAGE IS OUR STRENGTH
LONG LIVE YOUR MAJESTY!

First of all, I wish to express my sympathies and comforting words towards Kirundi Sserumaga and his family for the most horrible experience they have just gone through at the hands of dictator M7’s goons. At this moment in time, there should be no doubt in anybody’s mind that what is happening in Kampala/Uganda is a reincarnation of yet another fascist dictator who is worse than both Obote and Amin combined. What a big joke it was for the Baganda and other Ugandans to be fooled by M7 in joining him in the Luwero jungles to ostensibly fight “election rigging”, “tribalism/sectarianism” and “dictatorships of the Obote and Amin regimes”. What a big lie it was to the Baganda and other Ugandans to hear M7 making the phrase “… ours is not a mere change of guards but a fundamental change”! Having rigged all the elections he has held under his amorphous NRM movement/party, and also having rigged the lifting of the term limits through his parliamentarians by accepting 5 M shillings each, it would be foolhardy on any person with brains to think that M7 would be any different from Idi Amin, Milton Obote, Bokassa, Mobutu, Eyadema and the Mugabe’s of the African continent. Much worse is yet to come Uganda and East Africa if all Ugandans don’t come to the realization that Uganda is facing a far greater danger in M7 than it has ever faced.
I would really scoff at anybody who thinks that the closure of CBS “for good” will stop the tide from the inevitable. Did M7 own a radio station in the luwero jungles for him to organize the rebellion? Did our forefathers own radio stations to disseminate information during the struggles to get rid of colonialism and later to gain independence?? Incidentally, it is also naïve for any dictator to think that in this era of a global village, you can stop folks from getting and/or disseminating critical information to the world. It is human nature that once one is faced with danger such as the one currently facing Uganda under M7’s dictatorship and fascism, one will devise incredible ways and means to get rid of that danger. CBS’s closure, therefore, should not make the dictatorship in Kampala to begin dancing on its grave. Unless M7 turns back on the right course of what took him and 40 something men he went to the bush with, the gene is already out of the bottle for him.
Wama Musajja wa Kabaka Sserumaga, ojjira okulikayo Ssebo!
May God save our King, His Majesty Muwenda Mutebi
II !
May God save our nation and motherland Buganda!
May God save our country Uganda!
