On looking at the atrocities Tinyefunza did in Northern Uganda but in Uganda,
writing about a good thing he did or has done becomes like a little child that
finds a pile of shit defecated by a drunkard adult last night, and the kid
tries so hard to separate a piece of bean that was defecated when still solid.
And this kid makes a good point, mom you see this bean even though it was
defecated it still is a solid bean, mom I swear if I pluck it out and I wash it
you will get a bean solid as it was still in the plate. Oh boy this country has
two major issues, {a} It has been led by very crooked men for way too long that
Ugandans are sitting in a middle of a road clapping for the rain is the problem
to fill the pot holes with water otherwise when the pot holes are empty we can
drive through them for we have 4x4s, and {b} It raises how tribalistic Ugandans
are, you see you can murder as many Ugandans as Tinyefunza has done and
Ugandans will still lick your face as long as you are not Kakwa. Today
Tinyefunza a Rwandese is way better a man that Iddi Amin a Kakwa but a Ugandan.
Try writing a good thing Amin did for Uganda and see how vile Ugandans become.
Tinyefunza remains a man that murdered so many Northerners yet men like George
Okello stands him as a very changed man but Amin was a killer that writing
anything good about him is making Hitler an angel. It is sad that some of us
were forced to be born in a country with such minions.
May The Rwandese continue screwing this country. Geez !!!!!!!!!

John,
To make mistakes including assuming to be immortal is easy, and, a human
weakness. There are many people who have abused their positions because of
assumptions of being very important. Even in non-military circles, some people
take themselves to be better than others and while that is not bad, some go
further to demand for special treatment.
Sejusa is well known to most of us and his actions in Uganda's politics,well
known. What has impressed me about the general is admission of hardship abroad.
He lived and saw it and has even come out publicly to inform the rest of his
friends to treat other people well. This is great. Few people have the guts to
tell the truth about life abroad for some people, especially the first years of
one's exile. What Sejusa experienced is what Leadership scholars describe as a
process of reflection, inner examination or searching of oneself.
One Harvard professor compares it to a dancer leaving the dance hall to go to
the balcony to watch other dancers. He notices how people dance least knowing
of being observed. The observer sees the strokes taken, some out of tune
completely. He notices how mistakes or missteps are made. Leaders need to take
some time out of work to reflect on how their leadership is; a leader gets time
and chance to assess his performance and will note where improvements are
required. For Sejusa to leave Uganda, lead such a life and interacting with
non-military personnel, doing his own house chores, etc, it was a great
learning experience and I totally agree with him when he says he has had a turn
in life and mind. It happens to all who leave their areas of comfort to join
unknown places and people.
Many of us who left some good things back home, never mind how big or small
they were, the fact that patriarchy favours men when it comes to home chores
implies that such men experience hardship abroad; some had never cooked for
themselves because the mothers, wives, sisters, servants or other people did it
for them. Going abroad for many means starting real life learning experiences
in many ways. For example, though I am not a big man, I had some comfort at
home but when I went abroad, I had to cook for myself and though the method of
cooking is easy compared to our local methods, I always burnt my rice because I
would set the cooker high because I wanted quick results but would soon engage
in reading or writing; I would get absorbed in those tasks and forget that I
was cooking as well, and soon a fire-alarm from a smoke detector would remind
me that I had forgotten one task. I would run around trying to fan the detector
to wad off the smoke from the burnt rice. With trial and error, I learnt how to
cook without burning rice. Such experiences made me wonder how our women folk
cook and bring tasty food, since then I learnt to respect all those who prepare
meals.
Another experience is working in factories doing all odd jobs such as sweeping
for a living and many other things I had never imagined doing in Uganda. Also
seeing women working in factories, cleaning toilets or doing three jobs
simultaneously was initially shocking to me but later, they acted as my source
of inspiration. Such experiences enabled me to appreciate the challenges
immigrants and refugees face in Uganda; it is hard to realize how people feel
until you somehow meet a similar experience. Sometimes my family would disagree
with me over phone whenever I told them that I worked in factories as a cleaner
for example; they thought I was exaggerating so we would argue on phone until
the air-time was over. I had to tell them that life isn't easy, we need to work
hard to earn a decent living. Some people find life abroad extremely
challenging,or demeaning so they deceive about their status. To survive as one
waits for change of status, one does all sorts of jobs. Unfortunately for some,
they remain in that kind of life for decades but others leave such life as soon
as their status changes. That is what happened to me, after one year of doing
odd jobs, I started doing something I am proud of doing. So, nowadays whenever
I go back home, I see how our people take life for granted and often wish such
people would go abroad for some time, I tell them how life abroad is, and some
appreciate it but others think I am exaggerating.
Rather than blaming or criticizing him of his past, we should thank God for
having taken Sejusa out to experience what the majority who had to run out for
their lives, meet on daily basis because of tyrants. So, to me Gen. Sejusa's
experience abroad was a good learning time and I hope he is going to be a good
example to other rich and powerful Ugandans. Those in power should take heed of
his narrative; unfortunately, man has a very poor memory; some people have
experienced worse exile life than Sejusa but when they got to power, they have
forgotten what being out means and have engaged in activities that can actually
send them back to exile, I don't know whom they can blame.

Sejusa instituted pay toilets in diarrhoea wards in Ugandan hospitals because
he had no idea how it felt having a running stomach. How, how, how.....????
Well, now he knows.

I hate it so much when people talk about Sesuga as if he was some reference
point or rather some pointer of the way forward for some kind of greater good.
Sesuga for Uganans!
This is an erratic man, a restless man who even changed his name in a bid to
run away from himself as if it was goddamn possible.
The only good thing is that it has shown how law is applied in the Museveni
Uganda and clearing once and for all the arguments that the country belongs to
the few inner circle! For that I am grateful to Sesuga.

Fellow Gd. Persons,
u're sure gen. S. wasn't deported after failing
interviews by immigration? - kind of like this
i.e. with Uganda assuring UK of his safety.
He says mbu he had to walk to the interviews
on 2-o-2 not xxx & probably arrived to them late
or too tired to express his morbid fears properly!
He may have talked down to them as if he was
a general, rather that a refugee seeking asylum.
Those are my 2 cents on the Sagacious issue.

That should teach you never to torture people and drive them out of their
homes. If what you are saying has any truth in it, you should stop thinking
about yourself and work to make life better for your fellow countrymen. If you
think you suffered enough then you were mixing up with the wrong people.
There's real suffering out there.
Endeavor to see to it that Ugandans never have to live their country to go and
suffer abroad. Bring pressure to bear so people can live happily and peacefully
in their country.

Sejusa Recounts His Misery In Exile

Sejusa narrating his woes in the UK at his home in Naguru
Former Head of Intelligence Gen David Tinyefuza better known as Gen. Sejusa has
urged Ugandans in leadership positions to step out of their comfort zones if
they are to get the understanding of the world beyond the lavish lives they
live while in power.
Speaking to his guests at his Kampala home shortly after returning from his
country home in Sembabule, the vividly flamboyant General reflected on his life
experience in the exile.
“The host family I was living with in the UK stripped me of my rank and openly
told me that as long as I am in the UK I will be called Sejusa and not General
Sejusa,” he recalled. “I had no option but to swallow my pride.”
Shortly afterwards, recalled the General, things turned worse when he was asked
to find his own apartment and establish his own life.
“This was the beginning of yet another life for me; I remember walking down the
streets to but curtains for my room.” “I had never lived alone or tried to hang
curtains by myself or even make a bed.”
“I had to become accustomed to all these new developments and environment so as
to fit into the community. I learned how to light the oven and make my own
breakfast. That is why when I made a stopover in the supermarket here in
Kampala the girls rushed to hold for me the shopping basket but I felt I could
do it on my own”.
As the small crowd listened in assiduously, he described his exile in the UK as
both a trying and learning moment for him.
“I grew old in barely 4 months. Forget about having posh cars and escorts
driving you around; In the UK, I walked on foot to all meetings and this was
the side of life I seem to have been ignorant off”
Upon his return last week, Sejjusa homecoming party saw heavy security
deployment as he struggled through the outskirt of Kampala city to find way to
his house in Naguru a Kampala suburb where he addressed the media, relatives
and friends.
