Museveni’s NRM USA organization will, until it collapses, remember September 26, 2009 as a bloody day. Pressure from American Baganda forced their primary funder, Uganda’s ruler, Yoweri Museveni keep away from their 2009 NRM Forum in Boston. The pressure came from the widely publicized plans by Baganda to demonstrate at the venue and the persistence of the same Kabaka’s subjects who came to the venue even after mixed messages about Museveni’s attendance. The Baganda came from New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Canada and elsewhere.
An estimated 200 Baganda , under the eye of the Boston Police, stood across the street from the entrance to the Marriott Copley Place Hotel and loudly demonstrated from 10:00 AM to 3:30 PM. They held up placards that, among other things, accused Museveni of genocide, stated that Buganda is an occupied country and demanded the release of Baganda political prisoners. Throughout the over 5 hours of demonstration, Baganda kept singing “Kitiibwa kya Buganda”, praising Kabaka Mutebi and chanting slogans like “Akaalo ka Buganda keeko, akalo kaliko nannyiniko”, “Tulina Kabaka, tulina ennyondo”, “We want change, Museveni must go!” and so on. Curious car drivers kept honking and showing ‘V” signs, which kept the demonstrators energized.
Our contact within NRM USA admitted that the Baganda demonstration caused the NRM Forum to flop but would not comment of where Museveni was hiding. Speaking on condition anonymity the source told us that between 25 and 30 people attended the event. And when pressed, the source admitted that this number included over 15 organizers, government officials and spouses. Interestingly, the source, who is usually very defensive of Museveni, said “no comment” when asked if the Uganda president has been scared away by the Baganda. However, the source agreed that Buganda Post was “in the ball park” when we reported that president Museveni had decided to leave early and skip Boston, and then changed his mind. When we brought up the feet pain issues, the source only asked: “Where do you get that nonsense from?”.
A prominent Muganda analyst based in New York told us that there is no doubt in his mind that Baganda demonstrators in New York and Boston combined with the Obama snub shook up Museveni. The analyst explained: “You have to remember that throughout the Bush years, Museveni enjoyed open access to the US State House. For some reason he has not gotten used to the idea that Bush left, so he assumed that Obama would meet him personally. Thanks to Johnny Carson’s [US Undersecretary of State for Africa] intimate knowledge of Museveni’s regime, Obama administration put together a well-planned snub, which included ensuring that Obama’s TV images showed him speaking to the Uganda’s corrupt strongman for less than 5 seconds and immediately turning his back to him.
Our analyst adds: “In meeting Moammar Gadaffi, Museveni was hoping to make America jealous. Now, if Obama’s administration fell for I would be shocked. I understand that Museveni had some meetings with Balaalo students under the secret state house scholarship and got a briefing on the progress of a program by Ruhakana Rugunda and his wife to recruit Baganda women in the USA. However, the only thing he seriously looked forward to was holding court at the NRM Forum in Boston. In scaring Museveni away from Boston and sabotaging the forum, the USA Baganda exposed his cowardice. However, very much like a man who gets fired from his job and runs home beat his children, expect the sulking Museveni to return to Uganda and take his frustration on Kabaka and Baganda, to revenge the humiliation he has suffered. The interesting part is that Buganda will get even stronger as no one can claim the ‘twebaka ku tulo’ and ‘Tumukwaate mpola’ crap.”

Folks,
First of all, I wish to thank all of you who participated in these demonstrations showing the whole world further that Uganda is yet seating on a time bomb with Dictator Yoweri Tibuhaburwa Museveni. I understand that one of M7’s numerous do-for-nothing private secretaries whom he travelled with on this recent trip here has written in one of the Ugandan dailies claiming that while she and his boss were here, they saw no one demonstrating against M7 save only for three/four people who she described as “idlers” and according to her who were “window shopping”. How miserable can these people serving the dictatorship be???? Can they still afford to tell such silly lies in a world that has been made so small by IT???????

Banange nebaza nnyo abo bonna abagenda mu lutalo ku UN ne Boston olw’okulaga omunyarwanda nti Ssabasajja afuga ne mu America. Tara, remember that NRM people breathe lies the way you do air. Naye a picture is worth a thousand words. Look at those hundreds of empty seats in the NRM forum and the crowd of Baganda demonstrators (window shoppers in Musevenese) Kwegamba that thug who claims that there were no demonstrators, it is clear that she was doing her usual lie-breathing while speaking the official language of the NRM occupiers – Musevenese.
Wangaala nnyo Ssabasajja, ne Lugaaba akubeere nga tuli mu buwambe!

Tara + David,
We are like witnessing a big-time comedy with the Kampala dicatorship. It seems to be in total confusion and disarray. It is completely scared of even its own shadow. As you read a denial statement from a one Nabusayi L. Wamboka, a so-called deputy press secretary to the dicator, you will agree with me that The dictatorship is indeed sick and tired. Just read on and prove it yourself:
There were no protests against the President
Refer to the Daily Monitor story, “Museveni faces demos in US,” alleging that a group of Ugandans in the Diaspora demonstrated against President Museveni at the UN headquarters in New York. Your newspaper has been deceived by MP Susan Nakawuki or whoever it is that you talked to on phone. There was no such thing as a demonstration by Ugandans in the Diaspora at the UN headquarters in New York. Unless of course it was so hidden away from the gazetted demonstration space that it was negligible.
There are gazzeted areas for any group from anywhere around the world who want to demonstrate against anything or anyone at the UN. Every single day of the nine days, I have been in New York covering the UN General Assembly, I saw or smelt nothing about Baganda in New York demonstrating against Uganda or its President. There were however some four young men we met holding some placards and walking along the streets window shopping. Honestly, this can’t be described as demonstrations and there was no sign of Nakawuki.
This was meant to be diversionary, for some opportunistic elements who have failed to articulate what they want back at home or have failed to be accountable for their actions and claim to be advancing the interests of Buganda at the UN. Like my colleague Mr Tamale Mirundi said, these are “economic refugees enjoying other peoples’ freedom instead of fighting for their own at home here.”
While I can’t comment about the happening in Boston, as the President had not been scheduled to travel there, it is worthwhile to note that our leaders were in the process of resolving whatever issues that are there between Mengo and the government.
Nabusayi L. Wamboka,
Deputy Press Secretary to the President
Can you believe this crap??? Good people, we ain’t seen nothin’ yet!!!!
Wangaala ayi Ssabasajja Maggulunnyondo!

Busagwa,
I am much obliged indeed for that posting ! I am actually kindly requesting Buganda Post to post more of these demonstration pictures against Dictator Museveni to the whole world. Meantime, I can direct Ms. Wamboga for more details on what actually happened to his boss while she was probably away catching on some napon http://www.crestedjournal.com/news (pp.1-2)!!! And that is the kind of tragedy we have in backwater banana republics with fascist dictatorships ala Museveni, Mugabe, et al.
Awangaale nnyo Baffe Ssabasajja Kabaka!

Tara,
I am one of the folks who attended the Boston demonstrations. It is amazing how Ms. Lynda can be such a big liar! But it is just simple anyway. Let M/s Lynda Nabusayi produce evidence to the contrary that the Boston NRM fete was well attended and a success as they may wish to claim. Anyway, it is not all that surprising. That whole bunch of folks down there who make up the entire spectrum of the autocracy is a product of a very poor peasant and nomadic background. The more reason they are fond of telling lies and backstabbing games!
“Buganda nkonge yakumulyango, bwetakukuba magenda ekkuba amadda!” Abaganda mutegedde!

Guys !
Let the Namboka’s deny the demonstrations never took place against M7 . Oluyira is on ….,no matter what they say or do M7 like Obote is a spent force for BAGANDA. The demos in Newyork , Boston, London ,Stockholm
and during Kampala riots spoke volumes that M7’s days are
numbered including all his goons and sycomphants.
They are living in BUGANDA on borrowed time…..
They may ban Kabaka in Kayunga, CBS and Buganda anthem on radios but what they cannot ban is our love and patriotism for Kabaka and BUGANDA. BUGANDA is ours period.
To try and annex it or replace it with a Tutsi state manufactured by M7 and his colonial masters will be met with stiff resistance it BAGANDA. We have the detailed data of this hidden Agenda to replace BUGANDA entity.
The British tried it and failed and so will M7.
Awangaale Ssabasajja Kabaka Muwenda Mutebi.

Ffe abaana ba Buganda have chosen to stand up and fight for the presevation of the Buganda culture and our way of life.Museveni can joke,dream and hope the he can single handedly erase us from the face of our land. This we promise him will never happen.His mentor Obote spent his entire life doing exactly that. Amin tried they are both dead and Buganda is still alive.Nga bwe twakuwagira notwefulira era bwetuja okukola. Ojukira Lutamaguzi?? Obwo bwe bumalirivu bwaffe.Bwe tusesema tetulya. Keep waiting.
Awangaale Magulu Nyondo.

Museveni should remember Amin’s state research bureau which was followed by Obote’s NASA. Both these are gone and they were very powerful. Next in line will be ISO and ESO. The clock in Uganda turns even after 25 years.Once upon a time there was Faruku Minawa and Major Nasur Abdalla governor of the Central Province. Now we have Kale Kaihura. The clock is slowly turning do not be fooled by time.Our records are intact.It is time for the Ugandans in the west to clearly come out and distance themselves from the acts a foreigner who has committed crime in the name of the west.
