We are picking up intelligence from our sources within State House and the UPDF contingent based in Mogadishu, Somalia.

Our authoritative sources are indicating that Yoweri Museveni is a player in the piracy actives along the Somalia coastline.

The sources on the ground are claiming that Bush's so-called "Peace-Keeper" in Somalia (who incidentally also boasts that he is the liberator of Southern Sudan!) is out to embarrass both the Kenyan Government and GOSS/SPLA. This is what we are gathering regarding the on-going hijack of the ship carrying 33 battle tanks (T-72) from Ukraine and the demands by the pirates of a 20 million dollar ransom.

The Ukrainian ship being held by pirates off Somalia and the current Terrorism Alert now in Kampala should not be de-linked and it is one of the tricks Museveni uses to cover his tracks according to our source based in Mogadishu.

(In the story Is Jim Muhwezi really robbing banks?, Radio Katwe foretold of using the "terrorism" ploy for another purposes. Lo and behold two days later these people who have mastered the use of violence as a political tool put the whole nation on a "terror alert". We are keeping an eye on their moves. - Editor)

It should be noted that Yoweri Museveni has never forgiven the Kenyan government for "stealing his show" when they brokered the peace talks between the Khartoum government led by President Omar Al-Bashir and the Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM) to a successful conclusion.

We are told that SPLM has in appreciation, availed business opportunities to Kenyan businessmen as opposed to former allies in the Ugandan government whom the Southern Sudanese have started to reject.

Also, Yoweri Museveni is not much appreciated by the new leadership in Southern Sudan considering that there exist high levels of suspicion concerning his true role in the death of their leader late Dr John Garang, and the current killings of innocent villagers in southern Sudan under the guise that "it is the work of LRA/Kony".

Ugandans are urged to remember an article that appeared on Radio Katwe on the 24th of May 2008 under the heading "UDPF and Intelligence Officer's stories of Mayombo". These arms deals between southern Sudan and Ukraine were mentioned in the sub clause: "The Death of John Garang".

This is the same consignment of military hardware from which Yoweri Museveni wanted to make his cut and we believe disagreements arising from this led to the death of his fellow "Freedom Fighter" Dr John Garang (RIP). Note: the article erroneously mentioned T-62 tanks but as it turns out they had ordered T-72 tanks.

At that time the Ugandan Ministry of Defence was the intermediary. Yoweri Museveni was not happy when the late Noble Mayombo passed word to the SPLA that for the service of playing middle man, his boss had grossly inflated the cost with a view to skimming off a cut of obscene proportions. It is apparent that after that spat the Sudanese decided to do business with new friends in the Kenyan government.

So Ugandans, this is the man we call His Excellency and whom another much diminished leader George Bush recently termed "a strong man", whatever that means. This empty talk is a continuation of the US government's duplicity and callous disregard of the suffering their actions cause to other peoples. Once upon a time before he was unceremoniously cast aside as a dictator and kleptomaniac, stooges like Mobutu were feted and praised by revered figures like the late President Ronald Reagan. So fawning over another liar and criminal like Museveni should not surprise us. He is their new Mobutu, now reborn complete with a 'fashionable' feathered pirates hat.

Needles to say, should Uganda go the way of the former Zaire (DR Congo) or even worse - a distinct possibility considering the way Museveni is running things - the Americans as always will be nowhere to be found. Ugandans should start taking the affairs of their country more seriously.

Lastly, I wish to take this opportunity to again warn rogue elements in the Ugandan security apparatus that your future is grim. Where will you run to considering that the person you are claiming to protect has antagonized all the neighboring countries?

Those who served under "swine" at least had a place to run to but for you, all doors are now closed and sealed, so as you continue to torture innocent Ugandans, remember your appointment with lady Justice is just around the corner and people you are now mistreating will be hard pressed to show leniency.
