Summary
The issue: NRM’s 35 years
Our view: The architects of the Bush War should rethink their unique mission as self-professed compasses, to give national direction and create a Uganda with open political spaces for all.

The ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) party yesterday marked 35 years of unbroken hold onto State power in the country. This particular celebration is significant in many ways. First, it comes in the wake of another contentious General Election.
“What models of success can you point to that can win minds in less than a 100 years.”
#BLACKLIVESMATTER created a deeper discussion of self reflection in all white countries and colonies about global systemic institutional white supremacy racism and legacy of slavery colonialism capitalism. It also provoked and invoked white supremacist racist populist political movements under the misguided patriot flag like the Trump Chump who recently had a failed Coup when he lost his second term election.
Point is, there is a deep wealth of information, knowledge and resource materials highlighting the fight against repugnant racism of white supremacy and there are many layers of the onion to be peeled away to get to underlying core issues. White nations have tried to bury it and state everything is all good nowadays, but are backtracking and tapping into the truths that have been laid out in the foundations.
