While he says there is peace in the country and while many seem to enjoy that pseudo peace, the dictator’s heart has not known peace in the many recent years. He is constantly at war. But the enemies he is at war with are of a nature that makes the war so complicated and it may kill him because no gun can win this war for the dictator. He is fighting against these three.
1. His own conscience. This man rode high on the support and courageous sacrifice of Ugandans who put their lives on the line and fought in luweero- many paid the ultimate price because they thought he would make Uganda a better place. See where we are now!!! The blood of all those people who died cry out to God and God has stirred the dictator’s own conscience against him. It is torturing him and making him run crazy.
2. The presence of a one quiet, unarmed colonel Besigye who is resolutely lethal to the dictatorship is also making him crazy. He has incarcerated him, beaten him, gagged him, tear gassed him, abused him, taken him from his family and yet the man inside Kizza Besigye is far from being disarmed of the resolve to do what is right. Whenever he thinks of Besigye the dictator feels that overwhelming inner fatigue and defeat.
3. He is gripped by great fear. Fear, not of war but fear of the unknown and uncertainty. He does not know anymore what tomorrow brings for him. Will he end like Gadaffi? Will Ugandans seek retribution for all the wrong? Will he be around to witness Natasha’ kids graduate from anywhere in Uganda? And so on….
3. He is fighting also with the hard reality that Uganda’s love for him has waned and waned and died. The man Uganda saw as a partner against injustice has since gone loose canon on every one and become a loathed pariah and agent of injustice. This course has reached a point of no return.
This war is different from the physical one the dictator has won with the AK47. This is war that he has no expertise to win. One that will surely kill him. Change is coming
