    .@HEBobiwine has been re-arrested moments after leaving a military court in northern Uganda where charges of the illegal possession of firearms were dropped, local media are reporting. He may now face treason charges in a civilian court. https://bbc.in/2PuObRo pic.twitter.com/thfqcCi9fn

        Power corrupts... @KagutaMuseveni is only unwittingly building the political profile of @HEBobiwine... One does not respond to a mosquito bite with a hammer.
