Jailed radical FDC youth Sam Mugumya has for the first time spoken out since his incarceration in neighbouring DRC.
Mugumya was arrested three years ago by Congo authorities over illegal entry and is currently detained in Ndolo military prison.
It remains unclear why a civilian would be locked up in a military facility.
Some reports however, suggest that Mugumya and a bunch of other Ugandans were arrested trying to engage in subversion.
Ugandan government remains tight-lipped on his extradition.
A section of Ugandans have since lambasted Col Kizza Besigye for neglecting his former aide to ‘rot away’ in Congo.
But yesterday this website broke a story how Besigye has secretly been bankrolling Mugumya. And it turned out that the opposition kingpin has so far spent $ 6000 on his henchman.
Reports further indicate that Mugumya received a notice of transfer from Ndolo to Beni where his fate will be decided- to be tried or released.
While in prison, Mugumya wrote to Ugandans urging them to step back revaluate the situation and employ necessary mechanisms to end President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni’s 30 year military rule.
Below is part of the huge letter he wrote,
Uganda is at crossroads. We face a stark choice to either fight or submit to tyranny.
It is time to step back and revaluated the situation and effectiveness of our methods thus far.
We must weigh our options very carefully without having an aversion or affection for any. Revolution abhors dogmatism and romanticism it rides on dynamism and realism.
In this regard need to note that a country of oppressed people is but a mere territorial concept. It is a body devoid of life. Therefore he who seeks to establish a dictatorship seeks to murder the country.
So with what should murderers be resisted?
We should choose appropriate tools to fix the problem. Those who are hungry for their freedom should set the pace for a Barry Gold Water optly put it “radicalism in defence for liberty is no vice. Moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.”
The prince of peace himself in Luke 22:36 advised his disciples thus “whoever has no sword must sell his coat and buy one.”
And Fredrick Douglas noted, “The stranglehold of oppression cannot loosen by pleas to the oppressors conscious.”
It is our prayer that we all proceed ahead driven by duty and sustained by faith. We have to remember that a faltering faith cannot triumph over the trials and tribulations that punctuate the struggle for freedom. We can only win our freedom on our feet never on our knees.
We are comforted by Job 12:18 who tells us that God dethrones kings and makes them prisoners. In short every bonapart will have a waterloo.
We on our part attesting to the fact that he is who against his will still hold his view pledge that even behind bars we shall continue to shoot steel ideological arrows that will eventually
We look forward to the day we will be reunited hopefully in an atmosphere of freedom where we will not have to constantly watch our backs looking out for the goons in government .
Our mission is our motivation.
The struggle has just began.
