Thursday, April 10, 2025 - Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Communication Director Philip Etale is facing a backlash from netizens following his comments about the controversial Echoes of War play by Butere Girls High School.
The play, which explores themes of governance and the 2024
Gen Z-led protests, became the center of attention after the students took to
the stage, sang the national anthem, and walked off without performing.
Sources claim the students were denied access to a public
address system and an audience, raising suspicions of deliberate attempts to
sabotage their presentation.
Etale criticized the play's writer, former Senator Cleophas
Malala, accusing him of using drama to "radicalize" students.
“Radicalization of learners through drama and creative arts
is not good. Learners are supposed to be taught good morals and not be used to
settle personal scores,” he posted on X.
Etale’s remarks have sparked anger among social media users,
with many accusing him of sycophancy and defending the students' right to
express themselves.
