Abanegura bavuga ko Museveni, mu buryo bunyuranye, yiyamamaza nta guhungabana kandi ashobora kujya aho ashaka.

- Kwandika amategeko
Museveni numuyobozi wa gatatu umaze igihe kinini muri Afrika. Noneho arashaka kwagura ubutegetsi bwe mu myaka icumi ya gatanu.
Yabanje gufata ubutegetsi ku ngufu nk’umuyobozi w’ingabo z’inyeshyamba zavuze ko zishaka kugarura demokarasi nyuma y’intambara y’abenegihugu n’igitugu cy’ubugome cya Idi Amin.
Mu myaka icumi ishize, Museveni yanenze abayobozi ba Afurika barenze igihe cyabo ku butegetsi. Nyuma yimyaka, abadepite bo muri Uganda bamukoreye ikintu kimwe ubwo bahurizaga inzitizi zanyuma z’itegeko nshinga – imyaka ntarengwa – kugira ngo ubuzima bushobore kuba perezida.
Umuhungu we, umuyobozi w’ingabo, Muhoozi Kainerugaba, yemeje ko yifuza kuzasimbura se, bituma agira ubwoba bw’ubutegetsi bw’umurage kuko Museveni adafite umusimbura uzwi mu nzego zo hejuru z’ishyaka riri ku butegetsi, National Resistance Movement.
Museveni yatowe inshuro esheshatu, hafi y’ayo matora yose yaranzwe n’ihohoterwa n’ibirego byo kunyereza amajwi. Kuva icyo gihe yagiye atongana na benshi muri bagenzi be barwanye na we, harimo na bamwe bavuga ko yahemukiye intego z’urugamba rwabo rw’intambara. Umwe muri bo ni Kizza Besigye, wigeze kuba umuganga bwite wa Museveni, umaze umwaka urenga afunzwe kandi yanga inshuro nyinshi ingwate nyuma yo gushinjwa icyaha cy’ubuhemu.
Besigye yari umuyobozi ukomeye w’abatavuga rumwe n’ubutegetsi bwa Uganda mbere y’izamuka rya Wine, 43, utanga ikibazo gitandukanye na Museveni nk’isura y’icyizere cy’urubyiruko cyo guhinduka. Divayi ifite abayoboke benshi mu bakozi bo mu mijyi, kandi ishyaka rye rifite imyanya myinshi y’ishyaka ritavuga rumwe n’ubutegetsi mu Nteko.
‘Inyungu z’amahanga’
Mu matora yo mu 2021, Wine yabonye amajwi 35 ku ijana, mu gihe Museveni, ku majwi 58%, yashyize ahagaragara ibisubizo bye bibi cyane, avuga ko Wine ari umunywanyi ukomeye ku butegetsi.
Nyamara Museveni yirukanye Wine nkumukozi winyungu zamahanga kandi abaza gukunda igihugu cye. Mu ijambo rye Museveni yagize ati: “Bwana Kyagulanyi n’abanyamahanga be babi bamushyigikiye bananiwe kumva ko Uganda ari igihugu cy’abamaritiri bahowe Imana na politiki.”
Mu cyumweru gishize, Sarah Bireete, unenga guverinoma uyobora itsinda ridaharanira inyungu ry’ikigo gishinzwe imiyoborere n’itegeko nshinga, yatawe muri yombi mu cyumweru gishize akurikiranyweho icyaha ashinjwa kuba yarasangiye mu buryo butemewe n’amakuru ajyanye n’iyandikisha ry’abatora mu gihugu. Ibirego ntibiremezwa.
Umucamanza yamusubije muri gereza kugeza ku ya 21 Mutarama, icyemezo cyamaganye bamwe mu bayobozi ba gisivili ko babitewe na politiki kuko cyacecekesheje akazi ka Bireete nk’umusobanuzi mbere yo gutora.
Mbere yo gufatwa kwe, Bireete yari yabwiye AP ko Uganda ya Museveni yari “igitugu cya gisirikare,” ko atari demokarasi.
Ati: “Ibimenyetso birahari kugira ngo abantu bose babone ko rwose Uganda itagishoboye kuvuga ko ari demokarasi ishingiye ku itegekonshinga.”
Uganda ntiyigeze ibona ihererekanyabubasha ry’ubutegetsi bwa perezida kuva ryigenga ku butegetsi bwa gikoloni mu myaka mirongo itandatu ishize. Ibyo bizamura imigabane nka Museveni ugeze mu za bukuru bigenda biterwa n’urwego rw’umutekano ruyobowe n’umuhungu we, Gen. Kainerugaba.
Kainerugaba yihanangirije ingufu zishobora gukoreshwa kuri Wine, harimo no kumutera ubwoba bwo kumuca umutwe muri imwe mu mbuga za tweet zamaganwe cyane nk’uburangare umwaka ushize.
Museveni “ntashobora kuvuga ko arwanya amayeri yo gukandamiza ubuyobozi bwe bwite bwakoresheje imyaka myinshi”, ibi bikaba byavuzwe na Gerald Bareebe, Umunyagande wungirije umwarimu wa politiki muri kaminuza ya York ya Kanada, avuga ku nama Museveni yagiriye inzego z’umutekano.
Bareebe yagaragaje ko bamwe mu ishyaka rya Museveni batekereza ko abashinzwe umutekano bagiye kure cyane. Ndetse “barababajwe n’amayeri ya kinyamaswa yakoreshejwe n’abapolisi n’abasirikare barwanya abaturage b’inzirakarengane”.
Mugihe umunsi w’amatora wegereje, Wine nta kwibeshya ku mbogamizi abamushyigikiye bazahura nazo kugira ngo batore.
Mu kiganiro yagiranye na AP yagize ati: “Ubutegetsi bw’ubwoba nk’abanyagitugu bose bo muri Afurika, bazimya interineti kugira ngo abaturage badashobora gushyikirana no guhana amakuru, ariko twabashishikarije gushaka ubundi buryo”.
Ati: “Ntabwo twitabira aya matora kubera ko ari ubwisanzure kandi butabera, oya. Turimo kwitabira aya matora kugira ngo isi yose yerekeze ibitekerezo ku gusuzugura demokarasi muri Uganda.”
