Human Trafficking from Uganda to Saudi Arabia

Slavery and Prostitution in Saudi Arabia
I condemn the Ugandan government for the slow process in stopping Ugandan citizens to be exported as workers but instead they serve as  slaves and prostitutes in Saudi.
Many private travel agents with in Uganda  and neighbouring countries,export people to Saudi as workers but in reality they work as slaves under torture and intimidation from their employees and their passports are taken away from them.
Many of them are being trafficked through Kenya and then they board them to a flight to Saudi.Many have lost their life in slavery and prostitution without any trace of them by their parents in Uganda.
Many of these girls are hidden in houses where they cannot escape and difficult to trace them as the people where they distribute them are not on records.
I have come across many testimonies of those people mainly girls trapped in slavery and tried my best to make the citizens of Uganda aware and contacted also the governments agents responsible.

Sejusa arrested as tensions mount ahead of elections


Ugandan security forces on Sunday arrested a former intelligence chief and outspoken critic of President Yoweri Museveni as tensions mount ahead of a presidential poll next month.
Gen David Sejusa's arrest "followed a two-and-half-hour search by UPDF (Ugandan army) officers of the general's home.
Gen. Sejusa also known as Tinyefunza, who has called President Museveni a dictator, is being detained at Makindye military barracks in the Ugandan capital Kampala, said his lawyer Ladislaus Rwakafuuzi. 
Sejusa's home was surrounded by armed military police early Sunday, he said.
Sejusa's arrest is likely to raise tensions ahead of presidential elections on February 18.
Museveni, who is campaigning for re-election, has ruled Uganda since 1986, when he led a group of rebels who had waged a bush war against a government they accused of rigging elections.
Sejusa was one of the senior commanders of those rebels and eventually became a four-star general, was on the military high command and led Uganda's domestic and external spy agencies.
Now Sejusa openly accuses Mr Museveni of violating the ideals for which they waged that guerrilla war.
In 2013, Sejusa wrote a letter to the domestic spy chief urging him to investigate allegations of a plot to kill high-ranking government officials seen as being opposed to the political rise of Museveni's son, a brigadier who commands the country's special forces. Facing likely arrest, Sejusa, who, was traveling in Europe at the time, sought asylum in London. He quietly returned home in Dec. 2014.
