        Thanks @Ritahntaori for correcting and answering her. And those who bring up pictures of @HEBobiwine 's past, that is the exact reason as to why people love him especially his humble,hustle and hard life. He is an inspiration and BTW go try to read @BarackObama 's biography.

        You know people forget that our past mistakes keep us growing, and they strengthen us to work more and more in order to inspire the future generation.. please try listen to @HEBobiwine 's song 'Ekicomando' though you can even listen to many of his songs since they are educative

        Both @HEBobiwine aka Kyagulanyi Robert Ssentamu and @ZaakeFrancis have been arrested and denied to fly out of #Uganda by @PoliceUg to receive advanced treatment in the #USA 🇺🇸 and #India 🇮🇳 respectively. Remember they were tortured & broken by @KagutaMuseveni elite force SFC.

        Museveni is so scared of foreign hospitals detecting poison that was injected in Bobi Wine. A person who’s been in power for 32 years just want to see his opponents die slowly 😡

        The world and neighbors can do better than what they currently doing or not doing, because very soon there will be mass movement of political persecuted refugees across East Africa as well as to the world, and I hope the western world is not prepared for a wave of refugees.
