Allow me to say, with utmost sincerity, that Museveni’s regime is indeed singular—quite unlike any other I have encountered.
It has an extraordinary talent for inspiring among its citizens a particular sense of animated unease, if I may put it so—a rare, distinctive, and remarkable quality seldom found in a polite political society.
Indeed, it is a marvel to encounter a regime capable of leaving such an indelible impression upon the spirit of a people and the conscience of a nation, though I must confess that the impression is not entirely inclined towards warmth.
Nevertheless, there is a certain artistry in the ability to make oneself so remarkably, so persistently, and so unforgettably memorable.
One cannot help but acknowledge the uniqueness of such a trait, even while quietly seeking some measure of relief from its consequences.
For there is, after all, a considerable difference between being remembered for inspiring a nation and being remembered for the unease one leaves in its soul.
