PREAMBLE
WHEREAS through our Constitution Ugandans made a solemn commitment to build a better future for ourselves, our children, grand children and all future generations, by establishing a socio-economic and political order based on the principles of unity, peace, equality, democracy, social justice and progress;
WHEREAS this solemn declaration and commitment to a better future has been consis
tently and systematically undermined by entrenched dictatorship, corruption, patronage, nepotism, cronyism, and general lack of adherence to, and abuse of the constitution;
CONSCIOUS that the constitution is the basis of our social contract with those who seek to lead us and that it is the duty of every Ugandan citizen, using all means possible, to resist any regime that abrogates or violates the Constitution;
COGNIZANT of the fact that political parties, organizations and individuals have independently and on their own not been able to cause the positive change desired to create conditions for equal opportunity and shared prosperity for every Ugandan;
PLEDGING OURSELVES to strive together, sparing neither strength nor courage, until we shall declare victory in our struggles against the forces of tyranny, oppression and exploitation that have undermined our progress since independence to date;
NOW THEREFORE, we have resolved and hereby resolve to establish The Democratic Alliance to work together for the attainment of the goals and objectives set forth in this Protocol:
