*Ugandans, let me tell you something about NRM, real politics, and strategy.* The uncomfortable truth is this: *the primary goal of any political party is not to serve you* — it's to survive. Survival first, people second. That is the silent rule in politics. Political parties aren’t moved by suffering; they’re moved by *pressure, numbers, and threats to their survival.* You can cry about injustice or plead for fairness, but unless your voice is organized, consistent, and backed by action, it’s just background noise. That’s why parties like the NRM focus on *self-preservation.* They understand that *power responds to power,* not emotions. And until citizens understand this, you’ll keep expecting compassion from a system designed for control. Tears, anger, and moral outrage will never shake the foundations of power — only strategy will, because politics is not charity, it is strategy. *So the question is:* Will you keep shouting into the void with broken hearts — or will you learn how the game works and play to win by changing the rules of the game? So, when the NRM takes extreme steps to maintain control, don’t be surprised. It's simply doing what political parties do - *ensuring survival using any means necessary*. No political party ever takes power only to hand it over. No matter how moral it projects itself to be, not a single political party. Never! In short, if you want change, you have to strategize for it. Not cry for it. If you cry more than you strategize, you are simply wasting our political space. Okay, bye! That is it, on strategy for today. *Prosper Lumu* *Market Intelligence & Strategy Expert*
