Dear Ugandan Brothers and Sisters

I know you’re and I’m in pain over the sudden death of our good singer, Master Blaster, who got killed last week in Bwaise, Kampala. We’ll dearly miss him.Thanks to Ugandan Police Department for arresting the perpetrator and I hope justice will be justly served. He was shot by a Ugandan police officer who’s now arrested. He wasn’t killed by South Sudanese as initially claimed by locals who attacked South Sudanese living in Kampala. Uganda, dubbed as pearl of Africa, shouldn’t be another South Africa. Xenophobia has no place in Africa except in South Africa where rich white men have muddled Black Africans through economic inequality to hate themselves, and thus, killing themselves and killing other Africans in South Africa. I have heard of some Ugandans attacking South Sudanese living in Uganda over the years and this week’s attacks on South Sudanese in Kampala couldn’t escape my attention. Uganda and South Sudan need each other to develop and letting misconceptions ruin our ties is dangerous. I appeal to informed Ugandans to do what Brother Bobi Wine is doing; making locals understand of what really happened in Bwaise last week and defuse the tension.BY ALL MEANS STOP XENOPHOBIA IN AFRICA! ‪#‎WeAreOne‬#

Brother in sorrow,
