        #BobiWine is a champion for the voiceless in Uganda. He represents what most of us feel about the current regime- an oppressive corrupt nepotic intolerant regime focused on the interests of the president and his close associates at the expense of basic services and human rights.

        Mr Wine calls himself the Ghetto President. Big mouth, small talent. Most famous lyrics: “Burn all the batty man. All Ugandans get behind me and fight the batty man.” Now facing years of intensive batty action. How long before he sets fire to himself? #BobiWine #badgirl #RIPbatty

        But did you actually... read the article? 👀 It's right there, it's pretty well balanced. Everything that happened was mentioned, in the fashion that it happened.

        It's quite telling how the @amnesty international and western governments are quiet about this.Ugandans witness swift reactions when a homosexual is questioned but not when a freedom fighter is unjustly brutalized. @UN you owe humans a disclosure of your intentions
