Uganda Opposition Headquarters Surrounded Ahead of Protests
News summary

Ugandan opposition leader Bobi Wine reported that security forces, including soldiers and police, besieged the headquarters of his National Unity Platform (NUP) in Kampala on the eve of planned anti-government protests against President Yoweri Museveni. Wine described the situation as a military blockade, with personnel barring entry and exit from the premises, and claimed that several party leaders had been violently arrested. The authorities, citing precautionary measures, have warned against the demonstrations scheduled for Tuesday, which aim to address widespread corruption and human rights abuses under Museveni's long rule. Wine criticized the government's actions, suggesting that such intimidation reflects the regime's fear of the people's dissent. Despite the crackdown, young Ugandans are mobilizing for the protests, inspired by movements in neighboring Kenya. Museveni, who has ruled since 1986, has dismissed allegations of corruption and warned against the upcoming protests, suggesting they are influenced by foreign entities.
