Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>President Museveni Friday warned that he will expose and defeat the opposition in addition to crushing anyone with intent to throw Uganda into unrest.<\/b><\/p>\n

Speaking 38 years after he captured power following a five-year guerilla warfare, Mr Museveni, 79, said: \u201cWe in the security system know them…and at the right time we\u2019re going to expose these bogus groups called the opposition\u201d.<\/p>\n

Museveni, who is leader of the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) party, accused dissidents of \u201ctalking with Europeans to see how to force Uganda to be a puppet of foreign interests.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have been doing that in other African countries and also some of the other third world nations, but they don\u2019t know how strong the NRM is,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

Museveni\u2019s January 26 remarks followed parading of disguised activists, including Moses Ssimbwa who claimed that he conspired with opposition elements to falsely accuse the ruling government of torture at international conferences.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile moving me to Nairobi, they (opposition) lied that they were taking me to hospital for treatment of my leg injured through an accident, but I ended up at a human rights conference,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have been used by the opposition for chaotic scenes to stain the image of your government. We \u2013youth– do these things because we want to improve our livelihoods since we\u2019re too poor to even get Shs1m in as many years. I have come to apologise to you and Uganda at large,\u201d Ssimbwa tearfully said.<\/p>\n

Delivering his address, Museveni cited Ssimbwa\u2019s claims, vowing defeat for any domestic or foreign challenge to his party\u2019s leadership and political systems in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose who miscalculate that Uganda is a typical neo-colonial African country that they can just familiarize with, Uganda under NRM is a totally different cup of tea…and we can defeat anybody who challenges us here in Uganda, regardless who backs him,\u201d Museveni added.<\/p>\n

Still on Friday, Museveni again struck a tone of defiance, taking a swipe at global rights groups, World Bank and foreign governments that threatened to hit Uganda with sanctions and aid cuts following adoption of the anti-gay law in 2023.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome people announced that they will not give loans or support to NRM but we\u2019re moving forward. Uganda will even grow at a faster rate than before because the strength we built was by ourselves,\u201d he remarked during the 38th NRA\/M anniversary in Jinja City.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe only people who helped us were two African brothers Julius Mwalimu Nyerere and Samora Machel. That\u2019s all, all the others, if you want to help, you help, if you don\u2019t want, bye bye…\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
