Bobi Wine blasts UN boss Antonio Guterres over visit to Uganda

Uganda opposition leader Hon Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu commonly known as Bobi Wine has come out to voice his concern on the recent visit of the UN SG  to Uganda.

He states , Mr. United Nations Secretary General, Antonio Gutierrez , it is disappointing that on your visit to Uganda, you have not spoken for the millions of Ugandans and others within the region who are oppressed by your host- a renowned brutal dictator, Gen. Museveni!

Your presence in Africa (specifically in Uganda) would have made more sense if you addressed the real issues – gross  human rights violations, the rigging of elections, the military trials of political opponents, the plunder and humanitarian crisis in the DRC, etc.

While you spoke at Munyonyo, opposition leaders including myself are either under house arrest or on the run from the military! Museveni recently closed down the UN Human Rights Office.

How can you come all the way and not say anything about these issues?

The United Nations must stand on the values it purports to represent, otherwise it’ll be reduced to a club of tyrants and attract resistance from the suffering people of the world.
