Adam Ampa Besigye, the unknown son of Dr Col Kiiza Besigye has come out with a heavily penned letter warning President Museveni and his son, the CDF Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba to desist from harming his father. Adam’s letter was not what shocked Ugandans but his self as a lot of Ugandans didn’t know about him until now.
The former FDC president’s only known som has been Anselm Besigye who he shares with his wife, Winnie Byanyima. However Adam who resides in the US has now warned Museveni in the letter below:-
“For those who may not know me, my name is Adam Ampa Besigye, firstborn son of Rtd. Col. Dr. Kizza Besigye.
I would like to borrow wise words of Ndugu Rt. Hon. Amama Mbabazi. “Knowledge is knowing what to say, wisdom is knowing when to say it.” After silently witnessing the injustices unfolding, I feel compelled to speak out after what may seem like decades of silence of my childhood into adulthood. I can no longer remain silent while my father endures relentless persecution as the rest of the world observes.
This statement is directed at President Yoweri Museveni and his son, CDF Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba, who are illegally detaining my father. You are responsible for anything that happens to him under your commands.
The Ugandan government is holding my father hostage in prison, with no valid remand warrant or court orders since the General Court Martial’s jurisdiction was invalidated.
Should any harm come to him while in this illegal detention, President Museveni, Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba, and the Ugandan government must be held fully accountable.
I have seen all the derogatory and dehumanizing comments made by Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba on Twitter, which expose his deliberate, politically fabricated plan to end my father’s life.
These statements are not only deeply disturbing but also confirm the sinister intentions disguised behind my father’s prolonged illegal detention.
I have also seen the false accusations that my father plotted to kill Muhoozi’s family—a claim I strongly and completely reject. My father has dedicated most of his adult life to fighting for the freedom and well-being of all Ugandans, including those who now falsely accuse him.
I’m grateful for one thing: it has revealed who truly stands with us, who only pretends, and who is completely against us not to forget hypocrites that only rise during the harvest and flee during the drought. I try to stay strong, to keep a positive mindset, and to hold onto faith, prayer and hope during these dark times.
To those who continue to support my father, I sincerely thank you—for your concern, solidarity, and support on social media and beyond. Your voices matter. Your unwavering support gives me strength and comfort.
I humbly plead with the Ugandan government—Stop this injustice. Release my father Kizza Besigye and all other illegally detained political prisoners. End this inhumane persecution before it is too late.
Let us envision a better Uganda—a country we all call home. No citizen should have to live in exile all their lives. I ask you to make history—not of oppression, but of justice—for the country we all love. With Sincere Grace, Adam Ampa Besigye.
