Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Former Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) party president, Col (Rtd) Dr Kiiza Besigye, has outlined three strategies that he says Ugandans can apply to oust the ruling NRM party.<\/p>\n

Dr Besigye disclosed the action plan while giving a keynote address during the FDC National Council meeting in Kampala yesterday.<\/p>\n

He identified the mindset change of Ugandans as the number one strategy.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the crisis of failure to thrive, everybody must wake up. People won\u2019t wake up unless we wake them up to reality,\u201d Dr Besigye said.<\/p>\n

Old soldiers never die, they just fade away – Dr Besigye<\/p>\n

The second strategy he said is building grassroot structures to create a network of determined leaders who will mobilise Ugandans to speak with one voice and act in unison.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a must to organise, but we must organise for the struggle, which is different from organising people to go and throw a piece of paper in a ballot box. How you organise depends on what you are going to do, we must organise for the struggle,\u201d Dr Besigye said.<\/p>\n

The third strategy Dr Besigye identified is the use of action, but by applying non-violent methods.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome people think it means peaceful means, no, it is not, because we are fighting very violent people. We want to fight them even though they are using (guns). Other countries have fought and succeeded,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Dr Besigye urged members of the public to join the freedom struggle, describing it as non-partisan.<\/p>\n

\u201cLack of freedom is not a partisan matter. Facing all the institutions of state that are acting against us should be non-partisan. In Fact, those without parties, the churches, the mosques have a duty to fight for freedom,\u201dDr Besigye said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have been telling religious leaders, especially those in faith based-organisations that their primary role is to rise to become the voices of the voiceless. Fighting for equality is one of the primary religious beliefs and that is why they [religious leaders] must be in the this struggle,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe struggle must encompass not just political parties but even the civil society organisations, the trade unions, faith-based organisations, and the Non-Governmental Organisations.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll of us must organise the population to say no [to injustice],\u2019\u2019 Dr Besigye said.<\/p>\n

Previous strategies<\/b><\/p>\n

On several occasions, Dr Besigye has come up with strategies for regime change. One of them was the Walk to Work Campaign in 2012, where he rallied Ugandans to protest against the high commodity prices. After losing the battle against the Age Limit Bill through the \u2018Togikwatako\u2019 Campaign in 2018, the former FDC presidential candidate also launched the \u2018Tubalemese Campaign\u2019, which he said would help the Opposition achieve its goals. Last year, he birthed the People\u2019s Front for Transition aimed at uniting Ugandans to remove the ruling party from power.<\/p>\n
