Dear BobiWine,
I’m writing this as one Ugandan to another. All I want is to see our country free. Let’s be honest: Uganda’s problems run way deeper than Museveni. There’s a whole web of imperialist interests holding us back. Most folks don’t even talk about it, but it’s a huge part of the problem. Honestly, voting isn’t going to change anything. The system’s wired against us, both here at home and all over the world.
I really admire your courage. You speak your mind. You teach people about their rights. And you keep going, even while so many of our so-called leaders sit back and just watch Museveni trample over everyone. But I’ve gotta say; relying on those Western powers who support Museveni is dangerous as hell. They’re not our saviors; they profit from our pain. They want us weak.
All that inequality? It’s not an accident. Structural adjustment Programs(SAPs) by the Washington Consensus; those programs gutted our public services, pushed people into poverty, and left Museveni in charge to do whatever he wanted. If you look at it from a Marxist perspective, SAPs are just tools for international capital. They suck the money out of our country and lift up a handful of elites willing to sell out everyone else.
And that sellout isn’t just theory; it’s real life. Look at what’s happened:
∙ Since 2023: US empire has financed and participated in the genocide and displacement of Palestinians.
∙ In 2026: Their own bombs hit Shajareh Tayyebeh Girls’ School in Minab, Iran. Over 160 children and teachers were killed. The world called it a war crime, as the aggression against Iran continues to this day in a country the refused to knee down and faced enormous economic sanctions but it persevered.
This isn’t just random bad luck. It’s a pattern. Imperial powers use war and economics to keep countries weak and divided, so we’re easier to control. If we try to free Uganda by working with them, we’re just swapping one master for another.
Liberation has to start here, with Ugandans. We need to unite; rural and urban, north and south, across every line. If we want freedom, we have to pull down Museveni’s regime and kick out the outside interests that keep him sitting pretty. Mamdani nailed it; Museveni tried to fight global policies, got caught up, ended up serving them(Slow Poison, 2025), and couldn’t escape. It’s not just one guy we’re fighting. It’s the whole system that creates people like him.
Let’s be real: Uganda’s comprador elite; politicians, businessmen, technocrats; they’re working for outsiders, not for us. They make a killing off inequality and keep us split so we can’t stand together. If we don’t call out both the sellouts at home and the exploiters abroad, nothing will change. We’ll just keep going round in circles.
I know Ugandans can end dictatorship if we come together, understand how class struggle works, build power from below, and refuse to let outsiders play us. Division is what imperialism feeds on. Look what happened in Somalia, Libya and Iraq; the price of not uniting is paid in lives. We can’t let Uganda be another disaster written in blood.
Bobi Wine, if you love this country, please don’t go looking for help from the same powers that build their fortunes on our backs. Their “help” is never real help. True liberation will come from the United empowered Working Class.
For God and my Country.
