Gen Salim Saleh Unmasked!! Here’s Museveni’s Young Brother Who Is Feared And Highly Respected More Than The President – Why Ministers , Businessmen Kneel Down For Him

A narrative unfolds, recounting how esteemed bush-war generals repeatedly approached Gen Salim Saleh with a proposition: to succeed his elder brother, Gen Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, as president.

It is revealed that Museveni had, prior to the generals’ meeting with Saleh, given his approval to the proposal. Consequently, the president was prepared to endorse Saleh’s succession bid.

This was not only due to the profound trust Museveni placed in Saleh as a confidant and strategist but also because Saleh, as the patron of the Operation Wealth Creation initiative, had proven himself as a formidable fighter who significantly contributed to their victory as rebel leaders.

Moreover, Museveni was well aware of Saleh’s standing as a respected figure among bush war heroes, war veterans, and security forces, as well as within the NRM ranks, including among the youth. Undoubtedly, Saleh, the son of Mzee Kaguta, possessed an inherently likable demeanor.Saleh exuded qualities of serenity, charm, confidence, and love, maintaining composure even in the face of adversity.

These traits were ingrained in Saleh’s DNA and contributed to his reputation as one of the key figures in the fight against past oppressive regimes. Despite serving in high-ranking military positions and briefly as a political figure when appointed as Museveni’s military advisor, Saleh expressed a disdain for politicians. He criticized their propensity for lengthy discussions without taking decisive actions to improve the lives of civilians.

While Saleh was consulted by the president on matters such as cabinet appointments, he consistently expressed disinterest in holding ministerial positions. Returning to the meetings where war generals urged Saleh to succeed Museveni, Saleh, as insiders reveal, politely declined, preferring to maintain a low profile.

Regardless of Saleh’s reluctance, the generals persisted in their efforts to convince him to accept the presidency. Saleh remained steadfast in his refusal, asserting his lack of interest in assuming the mantle of leadership.

“Thanks very much again comrades… I will be always indebted to you… for the privilege of picking me up among the many… to lead the country… but am afraid….am not made for those things,” Saleh is quoted as having told his colleagues who had finally cornered him as a team.

Saleh would then make himself clearer, about how he was interested only in pursuing humanitarian causes.The saga surrounding the pursuit of Gen Salim Saleh to ascend to the presidency took a dramatic turn as bush-war generals persisted in their efforts, only to eventually concede defeat.

These deliberations transpired against the backdrop of Dr. Warren Kiiza Kifeefe Besigye’s departure from both the military and the NRM, marking a pivotal moment in Ugandan politics.Besigye’s departure was punctuated by a scathing missive condemning Gen Museveni and the NRM for straying from the principles of the bush war.

Despite still being a member of the UPDF and the NRM, Besigye’s critique incensed Museveni and his inner circle, prompting calls for his prosecution at the Court Martial.Besigye’s persistence in expressing his views, despite being a serving officer, intensified tensions within the military ranks.

Following his discharge from the army, Besigye wasted no time in announcing his presidential bid in Kampala, sending shockwaves through Museveni’s loyal military generals.The audacity of Besigye’s declaration reverberated among Museveni’s top generals, evoking strong reactions and vows of retaliation. Gen David Sejusa, in particular, voiced his opposition to Besigye’s candidacy, warning that the military would not recognize him as president or Commander-in-Chief.

Despite attempts by Gen Gregory Mugisha Muntu, then army commander, to dissuade Sejusa from making such statements, Sejusa persisted, exacerbating the already heightened tensions. Sejusa’s remarks drew widespread criticism from politicians and the public, further polarizing the political landscape.

In response to the escalating controversy, Gen Mugisha sought to clarify the UPDF’s stance, emphasizing the military’s commitment to respecting the will of the people. He reiterated that the UPDF would salute any president chosen by the people, irrespective of Museveni’s presence.The fallout from Besigye’s declaration underscored the deep-seated divisions within Ugandan politics, particularly within the military establishment.

Besigye’s bold move challenges the status quo and galvanized opposition to Museveni’s rule, sparking debate and dissent across the country.Meanwhile, Saleh remains a central figure in the political landscape, despite the generals’ failed attempts to persuade him to pursue the presidency.

His steadfast commitment to humanitarian causes and aversion to political power underscored his integrity and principles, earning him respect and admiration from allies and adversaries alike.As the dust settles on the tumultuous events surrounding Besigye’s declaration, Ugandan politics entered a new phase of uncertainty and upheaval.

The legacy of Besigye’s boldness and Saleh’s integrity continues to shape the course of the nation’s history, leaving an indelible mark on the collective consciousness of its people.In the end, it is not the pursuit of power or political ambition that defines Saleh’s legacy, but rather his unwavering dedication to serving the people and upholding the values of the bush war.

And as Uganda navigates its way through the complexities of political transition, Saleh’s example serves as a beacon of hope and inspiration for future generations.
