Writer says Ugandan Dictator Yoweri Museveni (above right) is suffering from “mythomania” and is paving the way for his son Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba (above left) to rule the country.
In psychiatry, we have what is known as mythomania.
A person who suffers from mythomania is known as a mythomaniac and is said to exhibit the tendency to lie, exaggerate, or relate incredible imaginary adventures as if they had really happened.
It is a psychiatric disorder.
Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba, better known as Baby Doc and Deputy Dictator, confirmed to us that he is indeed a mythomaniac as he recounted his fictional near-death battlefield experiences a few days ago in Soroti district.
Deputy Dictator Muhoozi told the long-suffering people of Soroti that he was deployed by Dictator Museveni, also known as Papa Doc, to wreak havoc in Soroti several years ago.
At the time, Baby Doc operated under the Infantry Motorised Battalion of the then Presidential Guard Brigade, Dictator Museveni’s personal bodyguard army.
Baby Doc was deployed to counter the threat posed by the Lord’s Resistance Army’s (LRA) chief of staff, Tolbert Tabuley.
“The President had sent me and my unit to block Tabuley, who was disturbing Teso,” Muhoozi told his auditors during the Teso Baraza at Soroti Sports Grounds on Tuesday evening.
“So, we set up our ambush at Achuna. There was fear that Tabuley would attack the Internally Displaced People’s (IDP) at Soroti-Orungo,” he added with all the mythomania he could muster.
“We spent the whole night in ambush. In the morning, we came into contact with Tabuley at a primary school,” he further lied. “The fire they (LRA) got there convinced them not to continue.”
At the time, Tabuley was the third in command of the LRA.
But, more importantly, Baby Doc never engaged a single combatant beyond toying with his PlayStation while quaffing down copious amounts of whiskey and surrounded by naked harlots dancing the Bunga-Bunga.
To be sure, Baby Doc is not a combatant nor is he anything more than a Toy Soldier wearing his father’s military hand-me-downs so that he may prepare to take over the country and terrorize the nation to no end.
Still, in building up his so called Street Cred, the Museveni junta hopes to position Gen. Muhoozi in the hearts of Ugandans as the military man best suited to run the militocracy of this long Museveni night.
Like his father, Baby Doc is being portrayed as a military genius. Yet we know that even Gen. Museveni’s forte was not military combat, but terror.
Dictator Museveni used terror to ensure over 500,000 Ugandans died during the Bush War (1981-1986) and even more Ugandans met their ignominious deaths during the 20-year war in the North.
Sowing the Mustard Seed, Dictator Museveni’s memoirs and his very own Mein Kampf, reveals some of the dastardly tactics of Dictator Museveni’s guerrilla army, the National Resistance Army, during the five-year Bush War.
In Dictator Museveni’s own words, the book demonstrates how the ability of the Guerilla boils down to his or ability to steal and smuggle arms, conduct successful ambushes, infiltrate rebels into government-controlled areas and then conceal them, disseminate propaganda. This was necessary to perpetrate atrocities and then blame them on the Milton Obote regime.
Then when it came to waging a counterinsurgency war in northern Uganda, Dictator Museveni employed even more terror.
His so called “Combined Arms Element counterinsurgency strategy”, which operationalized the use of heavy weapons such as tanks, armored personnel carriers, helicopter gunships and fighter aircraft, was shored up by his army’s terrorization of innocents in northern Uganda.
This is why thousands of Ugandans perished and it is also the reason why Northern Uganda has resigned itself to Museveni’s junta, for the region knows full well that if Dictator Museveni is opposed those who oppose him must be put to death by him.
In Soroti too where Deputy Dictator Muhoozi was campaigning this week, on July 11, 1989, Sixty young men died of suffocation and hunger at Okungulo Railway Station in Mukura, Ngora District.
The young men were herded into train wagons by Museveni’s soldiers and then fires lit under the wagons!
At this point, it would make sense to remind our readers that Soroti district was originally part of the mother Teso district covering Kumi, Katakwi. Kaberamaido, Amuria, Bukedea, Ngora, Serere and Soroti.
You see, the Museveni Junta terrorized the North and North East and now Baby Doc Muhoozi is attempting to reap from these two seemingly cowed regions.
As abductions and killings continue in central and western Uganda, the Museveni Junta must believe that the whole country has been frightened into submitting to Gen. Muhoozi’s incipient dictatorship.
But Ugandans are not that simple, and in the next four years you will see why.
