Opinions; Liberation Day, Are we Really Free, Especially With Everything Going On?

Every year on the 26th of January, the NRM government celebrates what is called liberation day. A successful movement led by what was the National Resistance Army and now National Resistance Movement party.

It’s just a few days after presidential elections and emotions are high because of everything that went down during the election period. As we celebrate liberation day, the question is are we really free?

There is so much going on in the country right now. This particular day seems of no interest to anyone.  Most of the people actually say the same things that the country was liberated from are still going on.

At a time like this, the same liberators have restricted access to some parts of the Internet. Everybody knows that freedom is not actually doing things how you want them.

But it becomes useless to claim liberation and yet hands are on chains.

On the good side

However we can’t completely do away with the fact that we have had a very huge change from the time of liberation. We can freely talk about politics, but of course with a little constraint here and there.

Obviously though, they are not the same rigid constraints like before. There is a lot to be appreciative for even when there is more we want.

This time round however, it’s the COVID-kind-of-celebration. The government invited a limited number of people to Entebbe. And as the norm is, President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni is the main man of the day.

He will as always go into his history lessons and end it by briefing the nation on what they have done for the country since it was liberated.
