Uganda stands at a critical juncture. In the aftermath of a rigged and violent election – where the will of the Ugandan people was disregarded – the Ugandan government has intensified a crackdown on the political opposition and civil society organizations. Arbitrary arrests, targeted killings, and systematic repression are not isolated incidents—they are the lived reality for human rights defenders, activists, opposition leaders, and ordinary citizens who dare to dissent. This crisis is not merely a Ugandan issue— it is emblematic of a global trend in which democracy is being dismantled, and fundamental freedoms are under siege.

In light of this reality, The Resistance Bureau in partnership with IntelWatch, invite you to join the #UgandaNotAlone Twitter Space in order to show public solidarity with those on the front lines in Uganda. This event will feature leading voices for democratic change in Uganda and the broader region. This event is designed to keep sustained international attention on the Ugandan crisis, push for justice and accountability, to demonstrate to Ugandan citizens that they are not alone, and to pressure the African Union and other regional bodies to treat constitutional and electoral coups with the same sense of urgency as military takeovers.
