It is true that the president general of Forum for Democratic Change (FDC), Col. Dr. Kiiza Besigye is soon handing over the party presidency to a new leader but he says this doesn’t mean that he is now going to abandon the political liberation struggle.

He says that the main reason why he is rushing to handover the presidency of FDC is to enable him to engage effectively in the liberation struggle.

While meeting the FDC youth at City House building in Kampala, Besigye revealed that he is planning to take the struggle to another level after he hands over the party presidency.

Besigye says there are political initiatives he can not undertake when he is still the party president.

He says after he quits the party president Ugandans will appreciate better how tough and determined Besigye is in the liberation struggle.

Forum for Democratic Change’s (FDC) iron man, Col. Kiiza Besigye has told his cohorts in FDC that Uganda will not progress if there is no struggle to get ride of president Museveni’s government.

He says that those people who profess to favor freedom and yet deprecate agitation for it look like men and women who want crops without plowing up the soils, they want rain without thunder and lightening and want the money and food without working for it.

Besigye says that such people are like people who want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters.

He says that opposition struggle (4GC, A4C, DP and FDC…) may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, and it may be both moral and physical one, but it will remain a struggle that will one day liberate Ugandans.

The former UN Diplomat says that the gap between the rich and poor people inUgandais widening. The truth on the ground is that the difference between people who have money in volumes and don’t know what to do with it is unimaginable. And this has turned most families inUgandato become beggars.

Otunnu further says that due to torture and impoverishment Museveni’s regime has conditioned people to accept things the way they are and not see things the way they should be. InKampala, for example in September 2009 the UPDF and the police openly shot dead unarmed demonstrators and since that time nobody has been held accountable.
