Recently, musician Alien Skin hinted that he will be quitting music in December and will be starting a political party. The political party will be known as ‘Fangone Unity Platform’ aka FUP. FUP picks from the National Unity Platform (NUP) whose current president is Bobi Wine aka Kyagulanyi Ssentamu. Alien Skin’s statements also come at a time when he’s at logger heads with Bobi Wine and his fans. Although Bobi Wine has not categorically declared any issue with Alien Skin, the NUP and People Power online supporters have been incessant in their attacks against Alien Skin. Alien Skin has also chosen to comment that he doesn’t need any support or forgiveness from Bobi Wine. That he’s content in himself.
Recently also, Alien Skin also showed a video of his FUP army and confirmed that two flag posts would soon go up, one for Uganda and another for FUP. But what stood out was the fact that Champion Gudo at the end of the video did brandish a sharp knife, something that hints about the next steps of Fangone. And that is where we think the slippery slope has started and it shall not end well.
BigEye.ug has always been at the centre of predicting future events. Although the knife could seem an innocent or even useless detail, we believe it’s very defining of what the end of FUP and Alien Skin will be. From now on, it looks like FUP is going to become a popular mobilization platform for ghetto youths. But also, it’s going to be a platform that gives them the ability to be unruly, or at least achieve some semblance of power in the ghettos and in the areas where they will pass. This in a way will also give them an equal footing to the members of NUP and People Power.

In the end, we are likely to see a dialectical playout on the ground. It will be FUP versus NUP and this will form the new battle lines. So strong will these battle lines be, they are likely to devolve into the worst of violence. It could get to the point where one can’t stay on the fences in the ghetto, it could get to that point where one must pick a side. For now, it also seems like FUP wants to take over all the areas of Makindye, Salaama, Katwe and the ghettos of those areas. This will leave NUP commanding the areas of Kamwokya, Kawempe and other areas. It will soon become a crime for a member of NUP for example to step into FUP territory. This looks like something that has been well-scripted.
But we also see a danger in it as it could cost lives. We can’t tell the full script to this, but we can comfortably tell the ending won’t be desirable. And such times should make people to be more alert. The end is nigh for Alien Skin, it’s a slippery slope. Only that it doesn’t end well, and it will take many people with it! We pray our predictions are wrong.
