Besigye warns exiled Sejusa against war Former Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) leader Col. Kizza Besigye has cautioned the exiled Gen. David Sejusa to abandon the bush war approach to oust the National Resistance Movement (NRM) government. Besigye laying a wreath on Bwajojo’s casket on Thursday.

We all survived the bush war because of God, it is not the military war skill alone that made things happen,” he said. Besigye made the remarks during the burial ceremony of Canon Simon Peter Bwajojo, 89, Sejusa’s father, at Bweyale village in Lugusulu sub- county, Ssembabule district on Thursday. Accompanied by the embattled Kampala Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago and Lwemiyaga MP Theodore Ssekikubo, Besigye, said the bush war approach causes death of many people. “Even President Yoweri Museveni knows it well. We almost lost the battle in 1983 when the late Oyite Ojok forces surrounded us, it is by God’s grace that we survived,” he said. Besigye said it is unfair for the NRM government to leave Sejusa to suffer in exile after all the efforts and risks he took to bring it power. “Sejusa did not steal or kill anyone. He just disagreed with the NRM government and President Museveni. Let’s learn to keep together even after getting conflicts. It’s normal and healthy,” he said. Besigye told mourners that he met Sejusa two weeks back in London and he was hopeful that he will return home. “We need to appreciate each other. It is painful that Sejusa cannot come here to bury his father. We live in a changing world. We must learn to love each other regardless of our differences,” he said.
