Three Killings in Kampala - BBC Africa Eye documentary
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 พ.ค. 2021
- In November last year, more than 50 people were shot and killed during a government crackdown on the streets of Uganda’s capital, Kampala. Officials defended the use of live fire, saying the police were responding to rioters. But a new investigation by BBC Africa Eye documents a killing spree on Kampala Road, and shows damning evidence that Ugandan security forces, firing from the back of a police truck, shot at least seven unarmed people.
***
UPDATE: Following this #BBCAfricaEye investigation into last year's police killings in Kampala, the editor of one of Uganda's biggest newspapers has been summoned for questioning by police after reporting on the new evidence and findings presented in it.

As a relative of someone who was killed during these riots, I thank the BBC for putting together this. It has been a tough last few months just trying to even figure out what happened.
My condolences, may God strengthen you and the deceased get justice
Oh Museveni, what did Ugandans do to deserve this!!! How much blood do you need so you can get satisfied??? Please God come for our immediate rescue. My condolences to everyone who lost their loved ones.

Keep the forensic evidence, the world is watching: One day accountability shall come to light
Who. The government thats in power is going to hold the evidence. Thats not what will bring them to justice
This is not what we are created on this planet to do.
From Kenya here, let's stand up with Ugandans against this butcher called Museveni
Stupid man wearing oversized clothes all da tym
Amen to that our brothers & sisters from Kenya. We love you, we respect you.

The poor lady was just trying to eke out a living for herself and her family. My heart is completely broken to see this. May the good Lord rest her spirit in peace!
If this could happen in broad daylight, imagine what takes place in absence of cameras!
Uganda is bleeding. We need help. Alot happened, many more people were killed . Alot has not been showed here.
So sad
Unspeakable atrocities ..
Prayers for Uganda .. 🙏🙏
This was absolutely heartbreaking, May the innocent lives that were lost Rest In Peace.
Amen
Amen
They deserve justice
They should not rest in peace. They should torment those who killed them
Lol...I honestly do not largely believe these findings esp by international media...!!...its all about the interest,whites make it seem like its all evil in Africa...and yet it isn't any different in the so called Democratic countries.... Because the Whites now want leaders who are gonna push their Agenda... #BLM
Kenyans 🇰🇪 in the house let's pray for our neighbors Uganda🏳️🏳️🇺🇬
We are about to get fu**ed ourselves
We can't accept this in Kenya m7 friends also we can't give them power
VIVA 🔴. But Museveni will answer all this
Thank you BBC for such detailed audio visual reporting. Thanks for caring this much! May such records remain for generations to watch!
I already know this is going to make me cry, I like being updated on what’s going on in Africa, I’ve never missed a video. Pray for Africa as a whole.
Crown, stay blessed. All bad things don't just make me cry. It depresses me not just Afrika, Yemen, Palestine, I could go on and oooon but I know this... God looks after His people, we're all children of God. Some countries don't know how to be KIND to your neighbour, your own mankind.
Try to be strong, am a Ugandan so some of these people killed are my sisters and brothers
Wen I watch such things it depresses
This old man is adevil killing pipo here in Uganda
@@kiyingiibrahim7337 Yes, so do a lot of dictators doing evil actions with no conscious. ALL I'd try to say to you is have good thoughts for the people in Uganda as a whole, his time will come. The universe has a way of giving JUSTICE, God's timing. In the meantime let's find refuge in God and be there for each other as this Community.
God bless you always Kiyingi Ibrahim by just proclaimed to the atrocities, He's heard your, our prayers🙏🏿
I personally witnessed the death of of one guy in one of the kampala building. In the afternoon I went to town at hotel Triangle for a job interview which took 30minutes, but during my interview we smelt teargas and after the interview I decide to go back home, I passed by Mabirizi complex then slow down town in the new park to Get a taxi. But immediately I reached Mabirizi building, I saw people running while teargas canisters and live bullets where shot and thrown I the building. I decided to return back. I was one on the last Female person to enter the building using that door while the security guy was closing. I didn't know there was an old man behind me but immediately I stood in the corner, an Old man fell right infornt of me and that John like you have mention. I witnessed him taking his last breath. The other guy in the checked shirt was shot in the thigh. He almost acted like he was mad, he talked to himself, fell down and after 30minutes people started to gather and held him. I froze, I cried shouting calling for help. I survived that day and I can never forget the man who died right front of me. It's my worded day of life. I had never seen this. I believe many people lost their lives that day and I blv they where more than 50.
I'm so thankful to GOD you made it!! I'm praying for your beautiful country may you all get the peace and justice you deserve . May God ease your suffering. Much love from a Sister far away ❤
I'm glad you made it, thank God, hope justice is served
I thank God for your life!
Very true they were more than 50
Over 200 people were killed but they announced 53
I saw this very police truck just a few hours ago and remembered what they did. Felt sick to my stomach
The international community has ignored M7 brutalizing Ugandans like they ignored the Rwanda Genocide.
Where is the African union security committee.? Toothless Lion.😡
@Learning Spanish unfortunately true.😢
Blame the international community, when it's the government that's killing their own people? Yeah make sense right... Also where were the African union?
@@jaydawg3031 african union is dead asleep.😩
@@jaydawg3031 Because foreigners keep on giving the government money to buy more weapons and make deals with government. Uganda takes in alot of refugees because on UN and helping them but stay quiet if Ugandans themselves suffer. Government gets a lot of foreigner aid, funds. That's why people are angry. This are more complicated than it seems. Government does the violent and is funded by international communities.
The International Court will only intervene when these leaders are too old , arrest them now so they suffer
You already took him to ICC and lost
@@jm-je4tl hihihi put the evidence here that shows our loss komanyoko
@@namayanjagrace3440 you don't follow news.
They will not intervene as they connive with the junta regime. SAD
@@jm-je4tl keep bragging, your end will come.
Thank you BBC Africa for airing this. It's high time the world knows what exactly happened on that fateful day. It's a teary and scary moment on that fateful day!
God bless you in much too brother, I agree.Amen
Keep an eye out bro. Once they read this comment they might come for you. If you see a Drone run for your life.
Am sure one day God will remember us
AU is sees but only acts when there is coup with their stupid sanctions,
Now BBC EYE please do another documentary on the political prisoners rotting in Kitalya and other prisons in Uganda
Everyone who participated in the killing of innocent people must be punished it's heartbreaking.
The pain of those who lost their loved ones, the tears of the mothers who lost their children cause a terrible pain to the citizens of the country. It is called Karma!!! The security officers who have the blood of these innocent victims will have to pay off this blood one day!!!! Gen Tumwine...the pain of others is your joy..oliba olaba ki???? May the souls of the faithful departed rest in peace. THANK YOU BBC AFRICA!!!! THANK YOU!!!!
God will heal us i believe
Thank you BBC Africa for this eye ooener.
May the innocent souls RIP.

You mean Bobi right?
Jm vandimwe !
My brother was shot when he was in a taxi rushing back home after those instabilities escarated. He left a 2 weeks baby.
Many more innocent civilians lost their lives. I watched and am a witness. Thank you BBC. RIP Solomon
Bambi....RIP
Blame Bobi and the people who rioted.
@@jm-je4tl just because it's not on your side
@@jm-je4tl ..so who should we blame for the murder of Gen. Katumba wamala's daugther and the driver that has hapenned today in broad day light?!
@@joselynnnassimbwa1269 the one who shot. Stop blaming government for everything. You are guys who see a housefly then blame government
I always used to say that we really do not see the true battles we as africans have to fight for. Thank to BBC Africa for all these REALITIES you are showing up. This has been very heartbreaking to watch but at the same time I am grateful to know and to be aware of what is happening. I even cried... May the Lord give mercy to all those souls that have lost their lives. Our government are just.... Africans, let's fight the right battles. We have a lot to do ! Your sister from Senegal.
Incredibly difficult to watch. May all these innocent souls rest in peace. Thankyou BBC Africa eye for this extensive documentary. No media in uganda would dare show us what this cruel government is doing to innocent citizens
You should have included the clip where Museveni said that he deployed UPDF commandos from Somalia trained to fight Alshabab to kill the "terrorists" who were rioting in Kampala. Its clear these killings were done with his authorisation and that is why no investigation or arrests have been done to date.
Its good they were killed
Well said.
Another brother to satan
@@jm-je4tl its good who were killed?
Bobi wine caused all this
This is heartbreaking!! My mum and brother were caught up in town on that day and by God's grace, they managed to come home. May the souls of the departed rest in peace. Thank you BBC...THANK YOU for this story.
Yes we must always thanks God for his grace and mercy . I too am grateful your Mum and brother made it safely. I pray for all the families who are devastated and suffering the loss of freedom and loved ones. Much luv from a Sister far away ❤🙏🏻
I feel so sad for your country, why all this murder, so many african countries are in conflicts , why cant you all come together and be a great continent.why are the leaders so corrupt.
Kamuyati was a mother who worked hard to provide for her children. It's so sad she died in such a way, her children are now orphans. Oooh God save this country.
One day Museveni will be powerless and past tense, together with his murderous lot.
Then there will be another like him.....all of Africa is doomed
The killings in Africa are heartbreaking. We wake up every day to news of violence, death, and destruction. This madness must stop.
I weep for mother Africa.
Honestly we need to pray for our nation!
I just don’t understand why those policemen keep killing their own people. Why don’t they go after Real Criminals! 🤭
I weep
I weep deep
This makes me cry😭😭😭
We also need an investigation about Ugandan political prisoners
Don't bore us. Bobi lost. Sevo won. Get over it
Definitely, we have many political prisoners in gazetted prisons while others are held in military barracks or safe houses. Some Ugandans have been killed while in detention and thrown in swamps and bushes. BBC should investigate this also.
Not today, not tomorrow, maybe not even in our time life. But justice will be served and impunity will end
For sure. Can even take a thousand years of impunity, but one day justice will punish all those who cause these atrocities.
From eritrea 🇪🇷 this is so sad!😞 this criminals should be hold accountable and brought to justice ⚖ 😡😡
Couldn't finish watching...heartbroken...😭from Kenya,we feel your agony.
Bore. Sevo won
@@jm-je4tl seriously.
We ugandans still have alot of pain and tear 😭😭😭😭, dictator museven killed innocent Ugandans,took the victory of the elected president Kyagulannyi Ssentamu but no one helped us,UN is just quiet about museven's veil deeds
I can't remember the last time I cried. But I just did. Ooh My Uganda
BBC you're useless. This is aimless propaganda.
Thank you BBC but who will arrest dictator museven for us?😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
"Children en unborn babies" so heartbreaking..
I'm teary. These our leaders are heartless! Cruel! Devil! Evils! 😭😭😭
Why? Why? Well, we all will meet our Creator one day and will surely account for our deeds
These are not leaders they're hyenas of The greediest clan
Thanks to BBC EYE for highlighting this...may the victims countinue resting in peace... Museveni must pay this....
@@provocateurplus173 so who denied that ain't happening🙄🙄🙄
Hmm how do Ugandans cop in this society.
The whole story is soo heartbreaking and when the journalist reached the concluding remarks, i cried.
The whole scenario was painful but the one for the young boy was so heartbreaking.
Same here, my their souls rest in peace.

Thank you BBC Africa for bringing to light some of the atrocities committed by Museveni and his regime against innocent Ugandans
This is truly exemplary journalism. Your investigative pieces are thoroughly done. Keep it up
And most disappointing thing all the brutality is watched by EU but still they keep funding the dictatorial regimes.
EU and many others needs minerals, gold, diamonds, oil and slaves so they support dictatorships.
Friend, EU is evil, its a evil organisation, so dont have any hope from it
Talk about
Bulshit they have their own interests 😭
What moral authority does the EU have when they attacked and destroyed Lybia killing many innocent people
@@jamesjohn4666 it has the moral authority because it provides those guns and funds to the regimes.
Am waiting... Worst days in my life..it was such a terrifying days
bbc africa eye..nothing stays hudden for ever.. thank u for this..the world needs to see this..
Thank you BBC Africa Eye, you’ve done a job that couldn’t be done by the Ugandan media. Many people lost lives that day, some of which we’ll never know. My prayer is that God should comfort those who lost their loved ones, it’s sad to see how the country has moved on yet we lost lives, it’s sad to see a dictator swear in with stains of blood on his hand, it’s sad to see a one eyed man say that the security has a responsibility of protecting people and property and yet the same security took lives, it’s sad to see a security officer not have the slightest remorse for what happened. These people don’t understand how it feels to loose someone you love, they were poor men, who went to the bush and killed hundreds of Ugandans and so killing is a normal thing for them. But one thing is certain, they’ll be killed by their swords, God is a fair judge.
FOR GOD AND MY COUNTRY
This is a true story 👌 more people where killed for no good reason
Gov't eno
Bambi you lost. I voted Sevo. You lost. Get over it.
No reason?
I’m still shedding tears 😭
Stop crying , rise up and fight back. Tears not gonna set you . Get arms and shoot back to those monsters. Kill them too
It's so painful 😭😭😭😭😭who will arrest dictator museven for us
I live in the heart of Kampala and the fear I had that day was unexplainable, we locked ourselves in the house for days and we would communicate with our relatives and friends through calls and messages because the terror still haunts me today. We really need justice 😢
This is so heart breaking. May the Souls of the deceased rest in Peace🙏🙏
Thank you BBC. This will never be forgotten. Accountability will be held one day.
That's my country Uganda... They will always do everything possible to make it seem it was the right thing to do.. A world like this sometimes makes as regret why God created the earth.
Exactly
I couldn't contain my tears upon watching this, this is really sad and heartbreaking
much condolences from kenya.
I was at the same building where they shot that lady in red skirt, but couldn't hold my tears after watching this 😭😭😭

Very Sad Beth !
This is so heart breaking I can't hold my tears. May God heal families that lost beloved ones. 🙏
I hope that one day africa can improve itself, and become on-par with other continents economically and stability-wise.
It will be hard my friend. Stability and Development has not occurred in places with inorganic EU/US funded regime change. The clip doesn't clearly even show the root cause of all this choas and unjust death because the root cause contradicts the BBC Agenda.
@@DANGIHAM good point
The pure pain that I feel for this day... Only God can comfort those who. Lost loved ones..
Heartbreaking Stuff!!!! The video tracking and explanation of the investigation was done very well. Devastating in a beautiful country like Uganda.
I cant stop crying after watching this ! I have been crying from morning ! Justice Will prevail !
Thank you very much BBC at large for the wonderful investigations, atleast whoever will be Abe to watch this will make a final conclusion of the November massacre
I feel so bad for these people who were killed and their families, extraordinary job BBC Africa
This is sooo heart breaking, Thanks BBC for that eye investigation though it leaves me wondering how a foreign journalist is able to perfectly collect all this info and a full *government has failed.
Justice will prevail some day, my sincere condolences to all families that lost their loved ones and the public for loosing their friends, its a great pity
So heartbreaking and an epitome of informed journalism. Have watched the video and couldn't control my tears from flowing.
Hopefully someone shall be made to account for these atrocities commuted to people whose only crime was being Ugandans.
May the souls of those who lost their lives in these reckless and barbaric actions continue resting in peace.
Can’t stop the cry for the loss of our innocent Ugandans
Man, this is so heartbreaking...I shed tears.
A year has passed and no lawsuit has been brought against M7's self-imposed gov't for these murders in any court around the world. Do we have lawyers with some heart to pursue this noble cause?
This tragedy started while i was in the city center. I remember the fear and smell of death that rocked my mind every seconds as i tried to cross from one side of Kampala to get home.Security officials were hitting anybody they could find with large and long sticks, iron bars. Women, men, children crying while trying to flee and some bleeding like they had swam in blood. It was a dark day and, we are yet to get justice for the lives lost . I am lucky to be alive.
God bless you
Men that's crazy
So sorry, the normal people like yourself just want an honest leader to better the country for everyone yet you have a tyrant abd murderer so wrong
@@romystumpy1197 Everything has a beginning, surely has an end. Only patience and time.
Because of Museveni's own interests he is killing young Ugandan blood😭😭😭😭 who is going to save Uganda oh Lord Museveni must go!!!! Enough is enough!
OH MY GOD....THIS IS SO HEARTBREAKING!!!
BBC thank you for bring us her name. Up to now whenever I hear of that day. I remember her. May her soul rest in Peace.
Thanks BBC for being a voice of local people
Museveni, age is not on his side we're still young and energetic he'll soon go and his entire tyranny
He will make sure that a new tyran will replace him, with all help from greedy investors...

Thank you so much BBC Africa for this deep investigations. Am so touched that you came out to expose the TRUTH.
this is what they call investigative journalism . ndowooza muwulidde. thanks bbc
This is heart wrenching.

Are we striving for unity or to tear each other apart .....
Let be united as one people with one objectives
This is not the Uganda I want for my children 🤦🏽♀️
So sad and heartbreaking 💔
My goodness, I always disliked BBC for their one sided journalism concerning Africa but this is very brilliant journalism. You people deserve an award. This is top notch investigative journalism. Congratulations and Thank you.much appreciated.
This is the most heartbreaking video today, tomorrow and forever. No one deserves to die, NO ONE!!! I was in town that day and all I can say is , I survived because God wanted me to survive. There was no other chance.
I’ve always wanted to go to Africa, but now, I change my mind!
Linda, wellness to yourself but look around the 🌍🌎🌏. Who wants to be anywhere, you're probably likely to be subjected to some sort of tragedy wherever you live, (God bless and forbid that) and not necessarily being in Afrika. Apologies but I disagree with your opinion to deny yourself an experience with a continent. AFRIKA'S BEAUTIFUL AND RICH but the few are exploiting it. The West is rich because of Afrika 👌👍🌈
@@gracebm9846We all have our own opinions.
Know matter where we go on this planet 🌍 There will always be killings. Including where I’m at. There’s a big difference in Police security. I would be well protected where I live, compared to the protection, where they live. End of story!
@@lindavenable3475 Apologies, it appeared that I was disagreeing with you. I appreciate your plight of where you live it's here too. My intentions was to encourage you sincerely not to discount Afrika to go or visit. Maybe, my angered opinion of the plight news on Uganda spilled to your opinion for that again, I apologise. I'm not a person to squabble back and forth.
Blessings to yourself, family and friends 🙏🏿
Africa is a continent... Uganda is a country
@@gracebm9846it’s ok. Sometimes I sound a bit harsh, and may not realize it, until I go back and read what I said. If I get to go there one day, it would probably be Ghana 🇬🇭 or Egypt 🇪🇬

May God bless BBC for continuously exposing the DANGEROUS LEADERS AND PEOPLE in Africa.

But one day someone will be held accountable on the soil of the pearl of Africa.

So heartbreaking..
I can't believe a minister of state would make such a statement on national tv.
It was actually broadcasted on all local channels.
This man has to put a watch on his family..God will judge him...he speaks as if he will last forever..a day is coming he will cry mercilessly..
Oh Uganda my homeland😭😭😭 imagine what happens where there are no cameras
my heart breaks for these lost souls
I can't stop tearing whenever i remember that day😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭...
This is very sickening,
Uganda is a member of the African Union,why is the African Union not doing anything about this??
As an African I've always believed that the African Union is playing a blind eye on uganda at the expense of human life.
How many more people have to die for you to take action?? Let Uganda be an example and make this selfish dictator pay for his crimes
What do you expect from African Union?
They’re all dictators so what can they tell Museveni about the violence that had taken place in Uganda 🇺🇬?
Poverty is rising almost in the entire continent. No better health system and education. I feel so bad for my continent.
So heartbreaking imagine fellow men and women in uniform killing fellow citizens
This is heart breaking, i cant contain myself
This is how countries become failed states. The failure of the state to deal with impunity only begets a culture of vengeance and revenge. These people were not a threat to anyone, their pain and grief bears heavily on my soul.
The M7 and NRM government must go. We need freedom, equality and prosperity for all Ugandans
For it to go, you have to win at the ballot. Its that simple. Crying on social media won't get you anywhere.
The best investigative documentary
Finally i have been waiting for this side of the wicked goverment to come into light
I feel so hurt 😢 and sad when I see a fellow African killing a fellow African to keep an African in power.
Love over greed.
For God and my country.
Uganda is bleeding.
So saaaaad. May their souls find eternal peace in Heaven 😢
