Son poème là! Extrait traduit vite fait:

"Si seulement le pus acide qui inonde le canal vaginal maudit d'Esiteri avait brûlé le foetus que tu étais alors,

Brûlé comme les institutions publiques en Ouganda dont tu as érodé le professionalisme et la moralité"

Contexte:
- Poème publié le lendemain de l'anniversaire de Museveni.
- Esiteri c'est la mère du président.

Moi qui ai grandi dans un pays où il m'était interdit de prononcer le nom du dictat..euh, président... Imaginez ma réaction!

1) ICYMI - Yesterday, Ugandan feminist Stella Nyanzi was found guilty of cyber harassment for writing a derogatory poem about the Ugandan President. She will be sentenced today. This is how she appeared in court yesterday, after months in max security prison 👇🏾

2) Defiant doesn't even begin to cover it. Stella Nyanzi made a point of showing the court, and the world, that she would not display the fear and remorse people expect from women who are punished for speaking up against injustice.

3) Stella was like: I'm a mother but you will not use my love for my children to silence it. I'm fighting this dessicated dictator for my kids (I'm paraphrasing here coz that's how I heard it: follow @RosebellK for quotes and videos)

Me👇🏾
