Handed in by the Chairman of the Uganda Federal Confederates (UFC) Mr Mustapha Semanda and accompanied by his counterpart in Saagala Agalamidde' Mr Godfrey Ssekisonge, the Ugandans want Mr Brown to promote good governance initiatives like the federal political system and stop funding a regime that has been criticised for its Abhorrent behaviour against its very neighbours.

The petition was handed in during a widely publicised demonstration last weekend in which hundreds of Ugandans in the Diaspora joined thousands of other people who were also demonstrating against the war in Afghanistan .

Young but politically acute and determined, UFC's Semanda said: "We will make Europe hell for Museveni and his cronies. We will expose them and follow them every where." He argued Ugandans to keep records of the violations of human rights by the Museveni regime, assuring them that the culprits would soon be in court. Mr Sekisonge stressed that Museveni's time is up - and M Kabonge who travelled from the USA urged Ugandans not to give up and instead increase the pressure on the oppressive Uganda regime.

Demonstrators chanted: "Idi Amin is back - his name is Museveni" as they carried placards showing victims of last month's riots in which an estimated 30 people were killed and hundreds injured.

The demonstrators withered the wintry winds of October to march up to the most prestigious address in the United Kingdom to have their say. Unlike in Kampala where the Ugandan leader ordered to shoot to kill' those protesting against the refusal by dictator Museveni to allow the Kabaka of Buganda to travel to one part of his kingdom, protesters walked back and forth past No. 10 Downing Street, the home of the British Prime Minister. There were no riot police wielding batons and semi-automatic weapons. Instead policemen and women from the Metropolitan Police marshalled the protesters to keep moving and not one of them was harassed. One Uganda lady standing a few yards from the British Prime Minister's residence told the Uganda Citizen: "we are foreigners here and yet we are allowed to shout and make our feelings known in front of the Prime Minister's house. In Uganda you are not even allowed to venture anywhere near a road leading to the President's house!"

For the first time in its history of broadcasting, last weekend's demonstration was broadcast live by Ngoma Radio's Tompalampa' programme anchored by Maj Twaha Mukiibi. Demonstrators were able to say what they wanted and many callers jammed the studio's switchboard wanting to have their say. The Radio Station, manned by volunteers who give up their weekends to work several hours for free, proved what it has always claimed to be. A voice for the voiceless! Ngoma Radio is now heard in most European countries, the United States , Uganda and Canada . Compared to other website radios, it benefits from a range of experienced politicians, journalists and military personnel whose aim is to make sure Ugandans have a medium where they can have a say without fear or hindrance.

  Hello guys
  
  Well done keep fighting the thieves in Uganda. Museveni and his gang are rotten - the sooner we can get them out of power the better. In you we now have an external wing which will influence the public opinion of western governments. Now we need the internal wing to be more activea and organised. The next war is going to be between federalists and republicans

• |2009-10-31 23:37:31 Willberforce Nkali  - Why would Mengo, the seat of the Buganda governmen
  Some sources at the New Vision say Bukedde, the Luganda-language newspaper published by the New Vision Group lost up to 4,000 copies in print circulation, a huge amount for a newspaper to lose.
  To this day, Bukedde is still suffering the effects of that boycott.
  In the early part of 2008, Bukedde used to rank, along with the Daily Monitor, New Vision, and Radio Katwe.com as Uganda's four most visited websites. Today, Bukedde hovers around the No. 12 to No. 14 rank among Uganda's top 20 most visited websites.
  Why would Mengo, the seat of the Buganda government, return to negotiations over the re-opening of a station what was closed illegally to begin with?

  Never be discouraged from being an activist against dictators , impostors and occupiers because people will tell you that you will not succeed.
  Indeed , you have already succeeded if you are out there representing the truth or justice or fairness or even love for your beloved Motherland.

  We have lived in harmony in Buganda nation for years even when butchers like Amin and Obote ruled, now this Rwandeese man has spoilt the good relationship between our people and Baganda who have hosted us for years. Woe to Banyankole and Banyarwanda; Kabaka Muteesa II gave us refuge in wakyaato and wider Bulemeezi no one of us was harassed now M7 is sowing the seeds of hate against us. Someone in KGB do the needful or else we are all hard done by when the fool falls...and fall he will one day!
