Ugandan President, Yoweri Museveni. His 6th inauguration as democratically-elected leader. I feel a certain kind of way. Museveni, has been in office since 1986 after the fall of Idi Amin.
Yes, Museveni is credited to have brought stability to the region and for helping manage the HIV crisis. I acknowledge that but, he also has a well documented history of using violence against his political opponents.
I have interacted with several Ugandan nationals and it is a sad day for many of them at home and in diaspora. For them, Museveni’s reign of terror should NOT be encouraged.
His main opposition is in the election, Bobi Wine put out a tweet saying Ugandan Security forces confined him to his house ahead of Museveni’s inauguration. Members of the opposition were also reportedly confined in their homes whilst the inauguration held. I ask; how long will Museveni’s reign of terror last?
