Today, I woke up to the pain of a heartache, Yet again former FDC president spent the night at the jailor's. In a need to deliver the freedom desired by the people of our land, he has gone against all comfort to find a cause to stand for. I hail his patriotism and I write about it with pride.
But what happens to a generation where the cowards outweigh the brave ones? Where fear is rooted deep in the construction of the men that rise in my Country. Men, that would rather see the land of their fore fathers die for, go in rot, one day at a time. It is appaling that while there is a sweep of change and transformation on the African Continent, country men in Uganda are rather in "shake mode" on how to go about the revolution of change. It is heartening, and very suprising that in a time when our generation should hold the government in place accoutable for the failures it has caused and the duties it has put aside, we are rather side-stepping that calling. Each generation has a duty to the nation that is set to come but ours has failed the forth coming generation. We continue to fail them in our cause to deliver a better tomorrow to them.
When, young men like Andrew Karamagi, risk all comfort to fight a government that has made progress hard on all levels. Then the hope for a better Country, tomorrow is in glimpse. But there is only a countfull of The Karamagi's and if in the near future my dear friend ever gave up hope(God forbid) then the hope for freedom would die subsequently.
But what would happen in the event that instead of Karamagi losing hope and Dr Besigye having many young energetic youth willing to do what he does,(fight for the freedom of the land.) Then the hope of the next generation will be awakened. Then my hope for a redemption to these words will see the day of light.
We need to rise up and redeem this land, and fight for development and rescue the pride of Africa. We need to bring forth the valour of our generation, such that when they arrive..they can journey through and will have a need to also stand for their next generation. We have to stand for justice, fight for freedom and deliver back Uganda. It is the duty of this generation...it is my duty as much as it is yours.
Unless, we choose to stay silent. Unless, we choose to fail them!
