Dear Radio Katwe, fellow FRONASA members (the old guard) and all Ugandans,

As you may be aware, the Great "visionary" was making a fool of himself in London, declaring that leaders who lose elections must go, and that this applies to his fellow snake Robert Mugabe. Well doctor, take your own medicine!
(Note: Museveni's comment to the BBC's Kirsty Young on Newnight of June 10 was calculated. With few exceptions, African leaders do not lose "elections", if we can call the bloody exercises in Uganda, Kenya Zimbabwe etc elections -Ed)

Today, I call upon all my fellow FRONASA fighters to remember the mysterious disappearance of our first leader Raiti Omongin (RIP) in June 1974 who was last seen in the company of one Yoweri Museveni.

The last time we saw Raiti Omongin was around mid June 1974, making it now 34 years since he vanished without a trace.

I now send out an appeal to all former members of FRONASA, those who joined us in the early 70s and those who joined us during that 1979 war, to observe a minute of silence next week as we pray for the soul of our dear and beloved founding leader.

As many of you have come to realize, what the late Raiti Omongin preached and would have practiced is so different from what we have got from Museveni who hijacked the movement and turned it into his personal property.

We must also ask this so-called "revolutionary" what the meaning of the so-called Heroes day is, if we cannot commemorate the death of our fallen comrades in FRONASA. Is it because it is becoming increasingly clear that they died after being betrayed by Museveni?

Many of our comrades would be living today if it was not the selfish interests and inferiority complex of Yoweri Museveni. To eliminate potential threats and leaders, he used to send our young and promising men on missions to Uganda and at the same time alert Amin's intelligence agents about where they were hiding or visiting.

That is how many of these young men were captured and died at the hands of Amin's soldiers.

I also call upon the families/children of these comrades to sue Museveni on grounds of direct or indirect responsibility for the death of their fathers. And as much as possible, please stop accepting small handouts like jobs where you work for Museveni and his family.

If he had not betrayed your fathers, you would have been better off today in a secure, prosperous, more equitable Uganda, and not living at the pleasure of the very man who betrayed your loved ones.

In similar vein, I therefore call on the family of the Late Raiti Omongin to ask Museveni what happened to their father. Museveni is in power today, ask him or ask your Member of Parliament to petition Museveni to tell the country what happened to the Late Raiti Omongin. The man who caused Raiti to flee to exile was kicked out (Amin), why didn't he then come back? He was last seen with Museveni, what happened to him? Why is he not remembered or not even mentioned?

Many Ugandans keep asking why we former FRONASA/NRA officers fear Museveni a lot.

Well, to answer our fellow Ugandans, some of us have been with Museveni since 1966 and we have very good reason to fear not necessarily for ourselves, but for the safety of our families.

Those who claim Museveni can be a friend, just do not know what type of person this man is, and what he is capable of doing if you cross his path.

How many of those so-called friends of his, including the alleged "childhood friend" Kategaya knew Museveni's home (village) before we left for Tanzania in 1971? Let Kategaya tell the nation where Museveni lived in the 1960s. He probably has no idea!

Of those who fought with Museveni in FRONASA, or associated closely with him in exile (in Tanzania), who can claim to have ever visited Museveni's house after he eliminated his friends? Keep in mind that this was the leader of the group.

Whenever we had meetings, we would always meet in so and so's house but never in the home of our leader Yoweri Museveni. Fellow Ugandans and FRONASA fighters, do you not find that strange considering that now the same Museveni loves inviting Ugandans and others to his houses in Entebbe, Nakesero, his stolen homes and farms in Kisozi and Rwakitura?

As you know a person with Museveni's personal insecurities would have loved summoning people (his juniors) to his house, if only a sign of showing off his status.

During our time in Tanzania, no one knew where Museveni lived and with who. All we had to go on were rumours that he used to stay in the small rooms (muzigo) of different women who worked in the local markets or fish landing sites.

When you escorted him, he would always make you wander from place to place till you got tired. He would wear you out as he kept making countless detours to keep appointments, that he now has to meet so and so at such and such a place, until you gave up and requested to go back to your home.

I do challenge any one who claims he knew where Museveni lived prior to 1979 to come forward and please enlighten us.

I end by once again calling on our fellow fighters to help the suffering children of the late founding fathers of FRONASA.

I met some in Mbarara recently and I was saddened.
