[@Tbz3375]

Solomon ur doing a great job God bless you

[@jounia9232]

Solomon thank you so much for having given Kakwenza the platform and time to tell the entire world his story......it is indeed a sad story

[@oneuganda5721]

Sad fabricated story 😂😂

[@teryatembarichard8748]

​@oneuganda5721

[@mugaberowland9782]

Get well brother. We shall keep you in our prayers. U are our very own.

[@isaaknamonyo2508]

Seriously speaking it's really painful, when you put your into his shoe.

[@dennislubega6968]

What endeared me to kakwenza was/is past narrative of events. I have since turned into loyal fan of kakwenza particularly because of his demeanor. Can’t wait to read the savage avenger. Appraisals not withstanding Thanks to Solomon and team for bringing this to life

[@ssenkubugeumar7013]

Everyday I spare time to watch a video from your channel thanks for the good work

[@africaniij]

Thank you so much for your kind words and continuous support! I'm soo... thrilled to hear that. It means a lot to me and the team. We'll keep working hard to bring you more valuable and enjoyable content. Stay tuned for more and God bless You!

[@shallonasiimwe3792]

Kakwenza, my brave, best Ugandan author! God bless him!

[@isaaknamonyo2508]

Please Solomon what your doing will save a number of Ugandans who are going through the same situation, one love ✌️

[@samkuranga855]

Thank you Solomon for this interview. Thanks Kakwenza for telling your story. We shall overcome.

[@mugalueddie]

Thank you so much Mr Sserwanja. I have always loved your shows.

[@Christinme234]

What can't happen in this country, I know not of! May God protect and bless your soul Kakwenza.

[@4fridayjudithsaudi165]

Thanks alot Mr Solomon serwanjja for uploading

[@maggieochola5722]

Our prayers are with you and for you, that above all you and your dear family will find all the help you need to thrive just as your pertrators are, back here. Being, a student of Literature, you do understand what we wish for you.

[@OCHENEMMANUELEMURIA]

Thank u so much Solomon your doing a great work

[@murishidsugar6704]

I enjoyed this interview and learnt something solomon u gave kakwenza time to express his views

[@mayanjafred5526]

I love this boldness in this Kakwenza Man👌

[@emmakug4049]

We will win by being strong and willing to say the truth

[@asha21]

The way I like him only God knows

[@maggieochola5722]

Our thoughts are with the many like you, whose cry for justice has been denied. And the many, who will never know the break of daylight freedom.

[@banabasm545]

Thxs bro Mr kakwenza for speaking out and whatever situation is and will be this regime fight truth but we shall be free. They think when they're in power, they become judges and God too and have right to torture citizens anyhow. Freedom of expression is for everyone under the law .

[@bwogifarmsuganda]

Re watching this interview . Very saddening

[@africaniij]

🙏🏼 Indeed... Thank you for watching, though...

[@nasasiraaggrey2512]

Well done Solomon

[@kiyalasimon11]

I have enjoyed the interview

[@khadejakhadooj9477]

If you're not having connection's and somehow rich en with the hands of God singa waffada, so the glory goes back to him

[@emmakug4049]

Kakwenza you are right

[@muhindoangeles215]

Kakwenza speaking with calmness

[@ismaelkisekka1684]

It's what makes him battle hardened

[@kanyarwandageoffrey]

Great work! Solomon

[@edgarmkaruhanga1523]

Great Work AIIJ

[@nicsempire1514]

That's my role model @mr kakwenza

[@alextwikirize3075]

This is so sad, hard and emotional to listen too however we surrender everything to the almighty God. When you stand by truth, you always win🙏🙏

[@stephanmalendo]

Good job Solomon

[@africaniij]

Thank you, Stephan. 🙏🏾

[@amontumusiime8524]

God will avenge for you Mr Kakwenza

[@omugabikatosi]

Praying for you brother Kakwenza. Thank you AIIJ for such a revealing interview.

[@jounia9232]

Uganda was captured long time ago without our notice. One day we shall call our country back

[@proudmganda1159]

True 🙏🏽

[@frankmakumbi8608]

Good job Serwanja!

[@maggieochola5722]

Fortunately, there's a greater Seat of Judgement for which they find redress. One which will provide justice and apprehension to those who have in any way 'apprehended' the innocent. This too has been evident in history.

[@peacenayebale5855]

Solomon that facial expression though

[@julianrichards708]

I feel his pain

[@kiyagadavid1583]

Good conversation @kakwenza

[@ugianandtalejan5600]

[@kakurumartin1224]

Job well done bring him back !

[@MultiValeri123]

It's really a sad story

[@OCHENEMMANUELEMURIA]

Indeed put yourself in his shoes. Stay strong Mr Kakwenza

[@ayesigaofficial8472]

Writing is not carrying or selling arms 🔫.. justice for Rukirabashaija

[@johnmpungu2440]

Whatever he said doesn't mean beating him up and torturing. The court is there to decide and not the army officers.

[@masontradingltd348]

Please host Sam Mugumya to tell his story. That FDC guy that had been in detention in the Congo for over 5years

[@byloneakandonda2027]

He is telling his Story on his own youtube channel

[@musasiziivan5129]

He's still in congo up to now, he's released but he stays in congo

[@carlosolaaka5926]

God-speed Kakwenza Rukirabashaija

[@kennedybadanga8985]

You're just a fool. You've muramwa

[@kennedybadanga8985]

Moderator, ask this fool tough questions

[@maggieochola5722]

Therefore, just they, you stand guilty as charged.

[@lumbuyefarouq6760]

Bring Janet Museveni

[@patrickmbogo2605]

If anyone feels offended by kakwenzas writing, instead of arresting and torturing him, they should've sought legal redress. That's the civil way doing stuff in a civilised society.

[@Flourish_today]

In other words, Uganda is an uncivilized society where freedom of speech is not allowed in the so called democratic country.

[@maggieochola5722]

However we have a Judicial system, who will not come to your aid, sadly because you unable to appeal (financially unable), or because they have been instiuted into these positions by the same 'perpatrators'. Or better, the Executive arm of Government, and could be relieved of their duties.

[@shaficguntex349]

Even Afande Dhamulira is also among the Tourture people

[@allanmayanjasebunya]

Comrade Rukira

[@maggieochola5722]

Forexample, from time to time children within my neighbourhood or school that my children will insult of provoke me to anger. Even their teachers do, their parents, but I do not lose my patience and retaliate. It's only civil to do so. However, if their own parents or authority figures will not correct them, I know that the Lord will. And quite honestly, He has. My position is to stay clean and without criminal record. But if any of the people we have mentioned, are with criminal record, first and foremost, they should lay down their instruments of office and should not hold any.

[@evanantale4066]

U called those people who picked ur fresh with plys or magalo ""scarvengers"" but as for me I call them SAVEGES

[@patienceprossy5682]

EVEN THROUGH HE CROSSED THE LIMIT WHILE WRITING, DOES THAT MEAN DOING WHAT THEY DID TO HIM?

[@nahabweedna6977]

He blows off his steam on twitter 🤣🤣

[@maggieochola5722]

And you realise his hat if one has to oay their way to 'attain' justice, it is not justice.

[@maggieochola5722]

Rukira, how do you appeal to the International Justice System to come to plead your cause for justice?

[@princeedwardjjunju9471]

Greetings our Presenter.Now with the atrocious practice of a decayed regime of oppression draw back on the killings in Uganda..do you think that a word of insult can have weight to the despotic barbaric rule on Ugandans..secondly do want Kakwenza to call them angels? or vampires?In life there is a beginning and end but Ugandans are trapped in a cocoon with no avenue of exit at the moment.

[@emmakug4049]

It’s in Uganda

[@maggieochola5722]

But Rukira, if you play double standards, you are not going to find justice before the Lord. Don't be afraid to stand for what is good and just.

[@oneuganda5721]

I think he meant to say TIME because if a pen was the winner it wouldn't have to be 30 years. Olaba ne Besigye akadiye nebigambo, kyogamba tayina pen 😂😂😂. Obush*ma just.

[@ingoditrust5998]

The key words; savage means brutal, avenger means revenging. Was the arrest about revenge or he is the one to revenge brutally?

[@charlesmugwanya2913]

The father spoke about the son as the Avanger. Think deep and remember.

[@maggieochola5722]

And now that I agree with your plea for justice, am I an enemy of the Government as well? Or will I be roughed up and shoved into military vans for pleading the apprehension of your perpatrators.

[@DavidTheITGuy.]

Kakwesa is being real, we a'e nt here to pliz any1 by coverg reality.

[@ayesigaofficial8472]

I don't think he said , speaker has gonorrhea, the problem Ugandans don't understand philosophy.. STI should be smallest of diseases to treat at a law level health centre but if it's not treated at such a level it means u can't treat a respiratory or a cardiac disease .

[@asha21]

Naye kakwenza

[@maggieochola5722]

Rukira, I witnessed the marks of torture right here on social media. What other forms of evidence should be required to bring your perpatrators to book?

[@maggieochola5722]

How did they safely yet stealthly sneak you out of the country Rukira?

[@maggieochola5722]

Rukira, the International Community surely deserves applause for coming to your aid.

[@patriciataremwa9735]

I have only one question, why is Kakwenza such a humongous threat. Being a writer, I know how much power we hold but why Kakwenza? There are several critics of the government in the country today. Why Kakwenza?

[@Muller-fi2wk]

Good ??

[@Flourish_today]

Probably the context of the book. It was very direct and at a time when the political climate is looking 🥶

[@waitin4thateeeeeeeg]

Did Kakwenza really get taken to meet Museveni before he got tortured the first time 😳

[@miriam4165]

Ethical lines in uganda?? Where do you start to judge a writer and dont judge the system that tourture its citizens? People are angry they go so far to use brutal languanges to express themselves. Those who accuse him must accuse his abusers.

[@ismailmuhammedabdulle3172]

hire a sound engineer tho

[@macsbaker8884]

Stupid question Simon “ what do you wish for people who tortured you” 🤣🤣🤣

[@hadijahnakaweesi5460]

Though I blame so much those who violated his rights but this guy is very provocative and disrespectful. Avuma nnyo abantu. Wish he could put up his disagreements in a more respectful manner.

[@waitin4thateeeeeeeg]

As much as his handsome you all need to focus, focus away from his good looks...: He just said he was first taken to Museveni then he was led away to be tortured. 😶 man that sounds like a mafia story!

[@maggieochola5722]

Rukira, who will bring your perpetrators to book?

[@charlestumwesigye1205]

Man,are you even safe there in Germany?

[@maggieochola5722]

Rukira, is your family safe?

[@carlosolaaka5926]

Solomon, you should also have interviewed Kakwenza's torturers for a balanced interview. To ME THIS INTERVIEW IS NOT BALANCED. Holistically this Kakwenza man was tortured for speaking out using government resources. Nothing has been done to them.

[@lancelarmstrong5715]

You can host him and ask him about torture!

[@Flourish_today]

Is that really possible. Will Muhozi even accept an interview. It's like interviewing a rapist after his victim has shown evidence that she was raped and even DNA has been collected. Muhozi should have taken this man to court. That way, we would have heard his side.

[@takethat3574]

Kakwenza do you know that solomon is kasajja!!

[@Hidfhjccbxcbhc]

Mr Kakwenza Rukirabashiaja these guy is quite aggressive and rude critics of M7. I followed him in X platform former twitter platform, the lawyer is smart and very much knowledgeable but utterly brave which has caused himself to suffer in troubles, he shouldn't wrote such kind of book against any regime specially autocratic regimes, they can easily liquidated you on the face of earth, i suspect he's being used and backed by foreigners those western countries who meddle African regimes by creating critic's and political analysts to speak against the government that they want remove, i think something is going as time goes, African intellectuals or opposition parties shouldn't be involved to be used as bartering chips to gain their political strategies. It's shame and unacceptable its beyond moral and ethical.

[@jonakisakye80]

Hahaha

[@sembatyarayan8752]

This tym the host had the African behavior ethics , forgetting the friction expression of the guest .

[@miriam4165]

But if you re a preyident, a public fugure, you must know how to handle such such sometimes abusive, angry languange. If you cannot control and understand what a leader has to do. I dont think the right way is to take in critics. You dont detain, beat or kill. If he uses rude words to the leaders of the country, let readers decide to buy his books or not buy.

[@bagyz256]

If someone is very understanding and very reasonable, I can smell a rat in Kakwenzas narration.

[@olivenakiwu2046]

Explain..

[@josephones7092]

Of course why wouldn't you smell a rat when you're a Cat. Ready to devour any Cat in sight

[@waitin4thateeeeeeeg]

​@@olivenakiwu2046 When he says the first time he got tortured he was first taken to meet Museveni. After meeting him he was then taken to get tortured😲 I'm not saying its a lie but that's an amazing story if it's true.

[@waitin4thateeeeeeeg]

Kakwenza says the first time he got tortured he was first taken to meet Museveni then he was taken to be tortured and the next time it was the first son who came to torture him 👀 then later met him 2 more times ... and then later Rwabwogo asks to meet him. I think it's reasonable to be abit skeptic of that story. The 1st family are personally going out of their way to meet him or to torture him 😮 don't they have better things to do? 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@mugobansongassendagire4371]

Mr kakwenza is right to talk and call mu7 any thing Mu7 as killed thousands if not millions, innocent ugandans and he's busy talking how Iddi Amin was a murderer #MU7 MUST GO

[@allanakatwijuka2291]

Again Solomon, the man is married, to a woman, I find far fetched and unreasonable to claim misogyny. Defend otherwise this is a double standard.

[@kalinzirobina1568]

Can you stop fooling kagweza is sick

[@bagyz256]

We all know what Kakwenza was after and what he’s after. Like Lumbuye just went, these enemies of our nation will still go. First of all the fact that he’s accusations are baseless, the fact that he goes personal then that’s bullshit. I don’t think even if Muhoozi had interest in kakwenza, he would stupidly go to the cell to torture someone like kakwenza. That’s something we would all first think about. He would still send others

[@hillary8792]

You're just speculative u have no idea what those guys are capable of doing

[@bagyz256]

@@hillary8792 I don’t think so. If you much equally fixed in that box of also believing in the Lumbuyes & the Jakanas then we can’t discuss. First of all so many foolish Ugandans come out in away of thinking they’re activist or anything. How many know what an activist does, it’s not just about the so called exposing, exposing what? Are they not Ugandans? They’re exposing it to who? They stupidly think anyone cares knowing about Ugandan rotten systems. They don’t care, they laugh about it. Baganda say Nanyini Mufu.

[@bagyz256]

I never saw anywhere Mandela was like those fools yet his was the worst experience but he won eventually, but all those crooks that come up with their empty heads mbu exposing will eventually wipe off like a candle. Uganda will move a head, it’s not just about politics or anything. Freedom fighters are never like that please. If they claim Uganda to be hostile, why then are they dining and partying, they only hoodwink you foolish people yet they’re feasting on homosexuality money. Definitely we will see, time will tell.

[@aharimpitsyasandra4998]

Did I read something like "baseless" in your comment! Am sure one day, Kakwenza shall see justice. His tormenters shall be dealt with.

[@gonzajulius8761]

@@bagyz256 Boss, where do u get the authority to accuse people of gay money? when opposition rhymes with the whites, then they are gay!! when government rhyms with whites, then it is very okay. ehh. Baguma, this country belongs to all of us and we need to create space for peaceful and descent co-exisiting. stop throwing words aimlessly coz surely was BASELESS really important? lets have the facts. 1. Guys was tortured. 2. Guy was denied his passport. 3. Guy was denied medical attention. Guy ran away. what do u dismiss as baseless? many peole have been arrested or kidnapped, but no one has spoke about Gen M.K or even the president or even Mr Rwabogo. why Kakwenza?

[@adrianssessanga7449]

What's baffling is how Kakwenza picked the interest of the German govt very swiftly that they forewent the need for him to enter their country with a passport. So many torture and abduction stories have been documented, petitions made to embassies of the western countries and we have not seen anyone except Kakwenza being airlifted to a country that is not even enemy to the state. Kakwenza's story leaves alot to be desired. It is a signal to some intricate diplomatic gymnastics between Uganda and the West (not just German but the entire West)

[@paulnzerebende4793]

Your comment leaves a lot to be desired. It's full of hyperactivity lines.

[@adrianssessanga7449]

@@paulnzerebende4793 if u can't read between the lines, then am sorry we can't engage for long. Am not in anyway refuting the fact that Kakwenza deserves justice. My point is how Germany is so swift to get involved specifically for him. Anyone keen would be puzzled

[@josephones7092]

Do you remember that hecwon a literary award from Germany too? Does is really matter if its Germany ot Timbuktu as long as the guy is safe. Do you know that Stella Nyanzi is in Germany too? Reading between or underneath the lunes doesn't remove the glaring facts of torture and abductions........

[@dennislubega6968]

Fair enough to note that kakwenza’s arrest had attracted attention from the international community but Germany was swift to his rescue via PEN - I think I had awarded him before
