Gen David Sejusa Returns Home Gen David Sejusa, who went into exile in April last year has returned home. Sejusa touched down at Entebbe airport in the wee hours of Sunday morning aboard a British Airways flight. He was received by his lawyer Ladislaus Rwakafuzi and the ISO boss, Col Ronnie Barya.Upon arrival Sejusa was driven to his home in Sembabule Its my constitutional right to be home. There has been no incident from the state, I expect the state to continue acting like this,” Sejusa told a few reporters who were at the VIP lounge at the airport. His comrade and FDC ironman, Col Kizza Besigye welcomed him back. Besigye posted on twitter: “Gen David Sejusa is welcome back home! It’s our home. Good Sunday! The return of Gen Sejusa on the eve of NRM delegates’ conference has had many Ugandans surprised, once a target for arrest by the government of Uganda. It remains to be seen what will transpire in the next few days. The surprise arrival of Gen Sejusa is likely to trigger suspicion that the NRA historical was on a mission to spy on and assess the strength of anti-Museveni forces in the Diaspora ahead of the 2016 polls. However, sources who talked to Chimpreports Sunday morning said Sejusa’s return was facilitated by Museveni’s younger brother Gen Salim Saleh. Saleh and Sejusa are known to be very close, having fought side by side in the five year military struggle that catapulted the rebel NRA outfit to power in 1986. The General’s return is likely to disarm and demoralise the opposition which thought it had obtained a stronger military ally in their plans to remove President Museveni from power. Sejusa fled the country in April last year after authoring a report saying those opposed to Brig Muhoozi Kainerugaba’s presidency were being targeted for assassination, a claim government dismissed as “unfounded”, “baseless” and “sheer alarmism.” chimpreports/gen-david-sejusa-returns-home/
