Uganda says president wins sixth term as vote-rigging alleged

KAMPALA, Uganda – Uganda’s electoral commission said Saturday that President Yoweri Museveni won a sixth five-year term, extending his rule to four decades, while top opposition challenger Bobi Wine dismissed “cooked-up, fraudulent results” and officials struggled to explain how polling results were compiled amid an internet blackout.

In a generational clash watched across the African continent with a booming young population and a host of aging leaders, the 38-year-old singer-turned-lawmaker Wine posed arguably Museveni’s greatest challenge yet. The self-described “ghetto president” had strong support in urban centers where frustration with unemployment and corruption is high. He has claimed victory.

In a phone interview from his home, which he said was surrounded by soldiers who wouldn’t let him leave, Wine urged the international community to “please call Gen. Museveni to order” by withholding aid, imposing sanctions and using Magnitsky legislation to hold alleged human rights users accountable.

Wine repeated that all legal options are being considered, including challenging the results in court and calling for peaceful protests.

The electoral commission said Museveni received 58% of ballots and Wine 34%, and voter turnout was 52%, in a process that the top United States diplomat to Africa called “fundamentally flawed.”

TWITTER CALLS FOR ‘OPEN INTERNET,’ ‘ACCESS TO INFORMATION’ DURING ELECTION IN UGANDA

The commission advised people celebrating to remember COVID-19 precautions, but reaction in the capital, Kampala, was muted. At one point, hundreds of Museveni supporters on motorcycles sped by, honking and chanting. The military remained in the streets.

AP journalists who tried to reach Wine’s home on Kampala’s outskirts were turned away by police. Wine has said he is alone with his wife, Barbie, and a single security guard after police told a private security company to withdraw its protection ahead of Thursday’s election.

“I’m alive,” Wine said. After declaring “the world is watching” on the eve of the vote, he said “I don’t know what will happen to me and my wife” now. He said he won’t leave Uganda and abandon its 45 million people to the kind of treatment he has faced.

The vote followed the East African country’s worst pre-election violence since the 76-year-old Museveni took office in 1986. Wine and other candidates were beaten or harassed, and more than 50 people were killed when security forces put down riots in November over his arrest. Wine, whose real name is Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, was detained several times while campaigning but never convicted. He said he feared for his life.

GLENN GREENWALD BLASTS ‘DANGEROUS IRONY’ OF TWITTER WARNING UGANDANS OF CENSORSHIP AHEAD OF ELECTIONS

This month, Wine petitioned the International Criminal Court over alleged torture and other abuses by security forces and named several officials including Museveni.

In response to his allegations of vote-rigging, Uganda’s electoral commission said Wine should prove it. Wine says he has video evidence and will share it once internet access is restored.

Museveni said in a national address that “I think this may turn out to be the most cheating-free election since 1962,” or independence from Britain.

The electoral commission deflected questions about how countrywide voting results were transmitted during the internet blackout by saying “we designed our own system.”

HAUNTING PHOTO SHOWS MAN MOMENTS BEFORE PLUNGING 350 FEET TO HIS DEATH IN ZIMBABWE

“We did not receive any orders from above during this election,” commission chair Simon Byabakama told reporters, adding his team was “neither intimidated nor threatened.”

While the president holds on to power, at least nine of his Cabinet ministers, including the vice president, were voted out in parliamentary elections, many losing to candidates from Wine’s party, local media reported.

Tracking the vote was further complicated by the arrests of independent monitors and the denial of accreditation to most members of the U.S. observer mission, leading the U.S. to call it off. The European Union said its offer to deploy electoral experts “was not taken up.”

“Uganda’s electoral process has been fundamentally flawed,” the top U.S. diplomat for Africa, Tibor Nagy, tweeted, warning that “the U.S. response hinges on what the Ugandan government does now.”

25,000 NATIONAL GUARD TROOPS DEPLOYED TO CAPITOL AS BIDEN INAUGURATION LOOMS

Museveni, once praised as part of a new generation of African leaders and a longtime U.S. security ally, still has support in Uganda for bringing stability. He once criticized African leaders who refused to step aside but has since overseen the removal of term limits and an age limit on the presidency.

He alleged repeatedly that foreign groups were trying to meddle in this election, without providing evidence. He accused Wine of being “an agent of foreign interests.” Wine denies it.

The head of the African Union observer team, Samuel Azuu Fonkam, told reporters he could not say whether the election was free and fair, noting the “limited” mission which largely focused on Kampala. Asked about Wine’s allegations of rigging, he said he could not “speak about things we did not see or observe.”

The East African Community observer team noted “disproportionate use of force in some instances” by security forces, the internet shutdown, some late-opening polling stations and isolated cases of failure in biometric kits to verify voters. But it called the vote largely peaceful and said it “demonstrated the level of maturity expected of a democracy.”

New Post has been published on https://freenews.today/2020/11/19/uganda-restless-after-bobi-wines-latest-arrest-death-toll-rises-dw-19-11-2020/

Uganda restless after Bobi Wine's latest arrest; death toll rises | DW | 19.11.2020

Seven people were killed in violent protests that erupted following the arrest of Uganda’s presidential candidate Bobi Wine.

Ugandan security forces clashed with supporters of the opposition leader, who is the main challenger to longstanding President Yoweri Museveni in the January 14 presidential election.

“So far the dead are seven, as from late last evening. Those injured are 45,” police spokesman Fred Enanga told AFP on Thursday.

Protests began on Wednesday, when the singer was arrested for the second time this month.

Enanga claimed that calm had returned to the capital Kampala “even after there were attempts by some gangs this morning to block roads by burning tires and setting up barricades, which police stopped.”

The 38-year-old singer, whose real name is Robert Kyagulanyi, was arrested for allegedly violating coronavirus measures at his rallies, which require presidential candidates to address less 200 people. Wine was still in custody on Thursday.

Wine has been targeted by police since announcing his presidential campaign. He was most recently arrested on November 3, just moments after registering his candidacy.

Wine is now seen as the strongest challenger to Museveni, bolstered by strong support from Uganda’s youth, who have been drawn by criticism of the government in his catchy pop songs.

Cheers, tears, prayers for 2020: A new decade is ushered in

Revelers around the globe are bidding farewell to a decade that will be remembered for the rise of social media, the Arab Spring, the #MeToo movement and, of course, President Donald Trump.

A look at how the world is ushering in 2020:

———

HONG KONG

Revelers as well as pro-democracy protesters flocked to sites across Hong Kong to usher in 2020.

The semi-autonomous Chinese city has toned down New Year’s celebrations amid the monthslong demonstrations. The protests have repeatedly sparked pitched battles with police and have taken their toll on Hong Kong’s nightlife and travel industries.

A fireworks display that traditionally lights up famed Victoria Harbor was canceled amid safety concerns, while some roads were closed and barriers set up in the Lan Kwai Fong nightlife district to control crowds.

———

RUSSIA

Russians began the world’s longest continuous New Year’s Eve with fireworks and a message from President Vladimir Putin urging them to work together in the coming year.

Putin made the call in a short speech broadcast on television just before the stroke of midnight in each of Russia’s 11 time zones. The recorded message was followed by an image of the Kremlin Clock and the sound of its chimes. State TV showed footage of extensive festive fireworks in cities of the Far East.

But one holiday tradition was missing in Moscow this year — a picturesque layer of snow. The Russian capital has had an unusually warm December and temperatures in central Moscow as midnight approached were just above freezing.

———

AUSTRALIA

More than a million people descended on a hazy Sydney Harbour and surrounding areas to ring in of the new year despite the ongoing wildfire crisis ravaging New South Wales, Australia’s most populous state.

The 9 p.m. fireworks over Sydney’s iconic landmarks was briefly delayed due to strong winds, but revelers clearly enjoyed themselves in a desperately needed tonic for the state.

New South Wales has born the brunt of the wildfire damage, which has razed more than 1,000 homes nationwide and killed 12 people in the past few months.

———

NEW ZEALAND

New Zealand’s major cities greeted the new year with fireworks as the nation appeared happy to be done with a year of challenges, both natural and man-made.

On March 15, a lone gunman identified killed 51 people and wounded dozens at two mosques in the South Island city of Christchurch. In December, an eruption of volcanic White Island off the east coast of the North Island killed at least 19 tourists and tour guides.

———

SAMOA

In Samoa, New Year’s Eve was more somber than usual. While fireworks erupted at midnight from Mount Vaea, overlooking the capital, Apia, the end of the year was a time of sadness and remembrance.

A measles epidemic in late 2019 claimed 81 lives, mostly children under 5.

More than 5,600 measles cases were recorded in the nation of just under 200,000. With the epidemic now contained, the Samoa Observer newspaper named as its Person of the Year health workers who fought the outbreak.

———

LONDON

Londoners were making their way to the banks of the River Thames to jostle for position to watch a spectacular fireworks display launched from the London Eye and barges near Parliament.

The familiar chimes of London’s Big Ben clock tower were to ring in the new year, even though they have been silent for most of 2019 because of extensive restoration work.

To the north, the multi-day Hogmanay New Year’s celebrations in Edinburgh began Monday night with a torchlight parade through the streets of the Scottish capital.

Security was tight in both cities and elsewhere in Britain following a recent extremist attack on London Bridge that claimed two lives. Police arrested five men on suspicion of terrorism offenses Monday but said the arrests were not related to the London Bridge attack or to New Year’s Eve celebrations.

———

SOUTH AFRICA

Thousands of revelers gathered at Cape Town’s Waterfront area to ring in the new year with music, dancing and fireworks in front of the city’s iconic Table Mountain.

In past years, residents of Johannesburg’s poor Hillbrow neighborhood would celebrate the New Year by tossing furniture, appliances and even refrigerators from the balconies of high-rise apartment buildings. Police have issued stern warnings, and it appears the dangerous tradition has declined.

In a somber statement, President Cyril Ramaphosa said “while our economy created jobs, these have not been nearly enough to stop the rise in unemployment or the deepening of poverty.”

South African singer Yvonne Chaka Chaka was deported from Uganda, where she was to perform at a New Year’s Eve event. Ugandan police cited visa issues, but Ugandan media reported it was because she had voiced support for Ugandan pop star Bobi Wine, the most potent opposition challenger to President Yoweri Museveni.

———

ROME

Pope Francis delighted tourists and Romans in St. Peter’s Square on Tuesday night when he took a stroll to admire the Nativity scene. Shouts of “Pope! Pope!” and “Happy New Year!” resounded as families rushed to catch a glimpse of him or thrust out their infant in hopes he would pat their heads or pinch their cheeks.

One woman grabbed the pope’s hand and pulled him toward her to shake it. Francis, 83, exclaimed and then struck the woman’s hand twice to free his hand.

At a New Year’s Eve Vespers service in St. Peter’s Basilica, Francis urged people to practice more solidarity and to “build bridges, not walls.” Since becoming pontiff in 2013, Francis has preached openness — a reform-minded agenda that has irritated a small but vocal group of ultra-conservatives in the church.

UNITED ARAB EMIRATES

For nearly 10 minutes, fireworks will light the sky over Dubai’s Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, as hundreds of thousands gather downtown to watch the spectacular display.

The New Year’s Eve display at the 828-meter-tall (2,716-foot-tall) skyscraper is just one of seven different fireworks shows across the emirate. Tourists, especially from Europe and Russia, flock to the sunny beaches of Dubai at this time of year to escape the cold, dark winter.

To keep the massive crowds safe, police have created walkways around the Burj Khalifa tower for male-only groups to separate them from families and women.

Dubai this year will be hosting Expo 2020, a world fair that brings the most cutting-edge and futuristic technologies.

JAPAN

People flocked to temples and shrines in Japan, offering incense with their prayers to celebrate the passing of a year and the the first New Year’s of the Reiwa era.

Under Japan’s old-style calendar, linked to emperors’ rules, Reiwa started in May, after Emperor Akihito stepped down and his son Naruhito became emperor. Although Reiwa is entering its second year with 2020, Jan. 1 still marks Reiwa’s first New Year’s, the most important holiday in Japan.

Stalls at Zojoji Temple in Tokyo sold sweet rice wine, fried noodles and candied apples, as well as little amulets in the shape of mice, the zodiac animal for 2020. Since the Year of the Mouse starts off the Asian zodiac, it’s associated with starting anew.

Tokyo will host the 2020 Summer Olympics, an event that is creating much anticipation for the entire nation.

INDONESIA

Tens of thousands of revelers in Indonesia’s capital of Jakarta were soaked by torrential rains as they waited for New Year’s Eve fireworks while others in the country were wary of an active volcano.

Festive events along coastal areas near the Sunda Strait were dampened by a possible larger eruption of Anak Krakatau, an island volcano that erupted last year just ahead of Christmas Day, triggering a tsunami that killed more than 430 people.

The country’s volcanology agency has warned locals and tourists to stay 2 kilometers (1.3 miles) from the volcano’s crater following an eruption Tuesday that blasted ash and debris up to 2,000 meters (6,560 feet) into the air.

SOUTH KOREA

Thousands of South Koreans filled cold downtown streets in Seoul ahead of a traditional bell-tolling ceremony near City Hall to send off an exhausting 2019 highlighted by political scandals, decaying job markets and crumbling diplomacy with North Korea.

Dignitaries ringing the old Bosingak bell at midnight included South Korean Major League Baseball pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu and Pengsoo, a giant penguin character with a gruff voice and blunt personality that emerged as one of the country’s biggest TV stars in 2019.

———

GERMANY

Hundreds of thousands of revelers are expected to ring in the New Year in front of the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin.

Several German cities including Munich and Hamburg have banned private fireworks amid concerns about the danger and environmental impacts from the increasingly powerful fireworks. A recent poll by the Forsa research institute found 59% of Germans would support a ban on private fireworks in city centers, while 37% were opposed.

———

PARIS

A joyful crowd of Parisians and tourists walked, biked and used scooters to reach the Champs-Elysees for the new year celebrations, in a city with almost no public transport amid massive strikes.

Revelers were converging toward the famous avenue to watch a light show at the Arc de Triomphe, followed by a fireworks display at midnight.

Paris police set up a security perimeter around the Champs-Elysees area with a ban on alcohol and traffic restrictions.

All metro lines in the French capital were closed except for two automatic lines, and only a few night buses were running, as Tuesday marked the 27th consecutive day of transport strikes against President Emmanuel Macron’s plans to overhaul the French pension system.

NEW YORK

A Chinese dance performance, punctuated with red and gold pyrotechnics, will usher in a host of stars at Times Square’s six-hour New Year’s Eve extravaganza.

The throng of revelers in the heart of Manhattan will get to see rap-pop star Post Malone, K-pop group BTS, country singer Sam Hunt and singer-songwriter Alanis Morissette during the big street party.

While giddiness will likely prevail at the televised event, some important global issues will be driven home, as well.

High school science teachers and students, spotlighting efforts to combat climate change, will press the button that begins the famous 60-second ball drop and countdown to next year.

Then comes the 3,000 pounds (1,360 kilograms) of confetti, accompanied by more pyrotechnics.

Trump Suspends Entry of Immigrants Who Cannot Pay for Healthcare (Reuters) U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday signed a proclamation suspending entry of immigrants who will not be covered by health insurance within 30 days of entering the United States or do not have the means to pay for their healthcare costs themselves.

Impeachment inquiry update (Reuters) Trump’s bitter fight against an impeachment inquiry has not slowed down the Democrats’ push to investigate whether he sought personal political gain by urging Ukraine to probe Democratic opponent Joe Biden. A top U.S. diplomat in Ukraine thought it was “crazy” to withhold military aid for the country as it confronted Russian aggression, according to evidence presented in an impeachment probe of U.S. president.

Ecuador arrests 350 people, protests snarl roads for second day (Reuters) Protests over fuel subsidy cuts halted transport and blocked streets around Ecuador for a second day on Friday as 350 people were jailed for unrest triggered by President Lenin Moreno’s austerity measures.

UK Brexit plans stir talk of Irish unity among activists (AP) Irish republicans are expressing renewed hopes of reunifying their island in the wake of the U.K.’s recent Brexit proposals, seeing that as a solution to the problems that Britain’s departure from the European Union is bringing. What to do about the border between the Republic of Ireland and the U.K.’s Northern Ireland has been the biggest stumbling block in Britain’s attempts to negotiate a departure deal with the EU. The biggest fear for many on both sides of the border is that a customs posts could spring up, threatening both the economy and the fragile peace process. Making Northern Ireland part of the republic would be one way to solve that problem.

Britain’s Prince Harry to Sue Tabloid Press Owners Over Phone-Hacking (Reuters) Britain’s Prince Harry is to sue the publishers of Rupert Murdoch’s Sun newspaper and the Daily Mirror over allegations of phone-hacking as he and his wife Meghan step up their battle with the tabloid press.

EU court: Facebook can be forced to remove content worldwide (AP) The European Union’s highest court ruled Thursday that individual member countries can force Facebook to remove what they regard as unlawful material from the social network all over the world--a decision experts say could hinder free speech online and put a heavy burden on tech companies. The European Court of Justice ruling, which cannot be appealed, is seen as a defeat for Facebook and other online platforms and widens the divide over how heavily Europe and the U.S. seek to regulate technology giants. It would also increase the onus on them to monitor what appears online.

Paris police attacked (Foreign Policy) A knife-wielding employee killed four people inside the Paris police headquarters on Thursday. Officers then shot and killed the assailant, a 45-year-old IT worker. Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo and Prime Minister Emmanuel Macron visited the scene soon after the attack, which came a day after large police protests sparked by violence against officers, a mental health crisis leading to suicides, and poor working conditions. The motive is unclear but authorities have so far attributed it to professional and personal grievances rather than terrorism.

Greek PM Asks U.S.’s Pompeo for Help to Calm Offshore Tensions With Turkey (Reuters) Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on Saturday urged the United States to use its influence to defuse tensions in the Eastern Mediterranean, where Cyprus and Turkey are locked in a dispute over offshore rights.

Dengue cases are surging around the world (Washington Post) Nepal, a Himalayan nation wedged between India and China, is experiencing an unprecedented outbreak of dengue this year, part of a broader resurgence in the mosquito-borne viral disease. There have been nearly 11,000 cases of dengue since mid-July, according to government figures, more than five times the previous annual peak. From Brazil to Bangladesh, Honduras to the Philippines, the number of reported dengue cases has surged this year. There has been a “huge increase,” said Raman Velayudhan, the task force lead for dengue at the World Health Organization. “Unfortunately, things are a little grim at the moment.”

Hong Kong Suspends Trains, Again Rallies After ‘Dark Day’ (AP) All subway and train services were suspended, lines formed at the cash machines of shuttered banks, and shops were closed as Hong Kong dusted itself off and then started marching again Saturday after another night of rampaging violence decried as “a very dark day” by the territory’s embattled leader.

Beijing says chaos in Hong Kong can’t continue (AP) A Chinese spokesman for Hong Kong affairs says the “chaotic situation” in the semi-autonomous region cannot be allowed to continue endlessly and more effective measures are needed to stem protests. The official Xinhua News Agency quoted Yang Guang as saying Friday that the “chaotic situation in Hong Kong cannot continue endlessly,” and that “it has come to a crucial moment to end violence and chaos with a more clear-cut attitude and more effective measures.”

Violence in Indonesia (Foreign Policy) Indonesian authorities have evacuated more than 11,500 people from a town in the eastern province of Papua after violent unrest last month. Papua is grappling with a separatist insurgency, and the violence targeted those from elsewhere in Indonesia. President Joko Widodo, unlike his predecessors, has said that he is open to dialogue with the separatists.

Medical Data Breach Puts Details of a Million New Zealanders at Risk (Reuters) Nearly a million New Zealanders face the risk that their medical data has been accessed illegally after a cyber attack on the website of Tū Ora Compass Health, the company said on Saturday.

Death toll surges to 65 as Iraq unrest accelerates (Reuters) The death toll from days of violent demonstrations across Iraq surged to 65, most of them killed in the last 24 hours as unrest rapidly accelerated and the country’s most powerful cleric placed the blame squarely on politicians.

US sanctions squeezing Hezbollah in Lebanon (AP) The conflict between Iran and the U.S. that has created tensions throughout much of the Middle East is now also being felt in Lebanon, where Washington has slapped sanctions on the Iran-backed Hezbollah and warned they could soon expand to its allies, further deepening the tiny Arab country’s economic crisis. Two U.S. officials visited Beirut in September and warned the sanctions will increase to deprive Hezbollah of its sources of income. The push is further adding to Lebanon’s severe financial and economic crisis, with Lebanese officials warning the country’s economy and banking sector can’t take the pressure.

Uganda’s red berets (Foreign Policy) Supporters of the musician-turned-politician Bobi Wine were arrested in Uganda on Thursday for wearing red berets--a symbol of his People Power movement. The government banned civilians from wearing red berets last month. Wine is running in the country’s 2021 presidential election, threatening to unseat long-time leader Yoweri Museveni.

Brits Count Cost as U.K.'s Brexit Pain Deepens

(Bloomberg) -- Want to receive this post in your inbox every day? Sign up for the Balance of Power newsletter, and follow Bloomberg Politics on Twitter and Facebook for more.Britons woke up this morning to their cup of tea and news the pound had dropped to its lowest level since 2017 in response to the latest Brexit drama.Some back from their holidays on the continent will have already felt how things have gotten worse – their money translating into fewer euros, fewer beers in the sunny resorts of southern Europe. The pain is real.There is no relief in sight. More than three years on from the 2016 referendum on European Union membership. British politics have become a toxic daily brew with instability the new normal and another election potentially in the offing.Against this backdrop, Parliament returns today with battle lines drawn between Prime Minister Boris Johnson, determined to keep open the option of leaving the EU without a deal on Oct. 31, and opponents across all parties equally bent on stopping him committing what they regard as economic suicide for the U.K. It’s hard to gauge at this point who will win out.The showdown has some commentators evoking the English civil war almost 400 years ago, which cost a king his head in the struggle between the executive and the legislature.The outcome could be anything from a Brexit delay to a snap general election. Once a byword for political stability, where the U.K. goes from here is anyone’s guess.Global HeadlinesTrade Struggles | Chinese and U.S. officials can't agree on a date, schedule or even basic terms of re-engagement ahead of a planned meeting later this month to try to solve the trade war between the world's two largest economies, Bloomberg News reports. The two sides have so far failed to agree on an American appeal to set parameters for the talks, as well as a Chinese request to delay new tariffs, according to officials.Assistance call | Leading pro-democracy activist Joshua Wong used a trip to Taipei to call on Taiwan to help safeguard Hong Kong. Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen’s criticism of China over the Hong Kong protests has drawn rebukes from Beijing, which considers Taiwan a province.China today softened its tone, saying peaceful demonstrations were allowed in Hong Kong even as it ruled out a demand for direct democracy that has fueled the unrest. Beijing has sent regional state-run media organizations to Hong Kong in a bid to better control the narrative.Soy hoarders | Farmers in Argentina are set to hold on to nearly 30 million metric tons of soybeans stuffed into silo bags and grain elevators for even longer after the government imposed currency controls. President Mauricio Macri resorted to the measures to try to halt a plunge in the peso and protect central bank reserves as a financial crisis grips the nation following a landslide opposition win in an August primary vote.Xenophobic riots | The latest xenophobic violence in South Africa could not have come at a worse time for President Cyril Ramaphosa. Political and business leaders from nearly 30 countries are gathering in Cape Town for the World Economic Forum for Africa to hear a pitch for investment, amid images of thousands of rioters looting and torching foreign-owned shops in Johannesburg and the capital, Pretoria.Paradise lashed | The Bahamas has suffered “unprecedented and extensive” damage, Prime Minister Hubert Minnis told reporters, after the Caribbean island nation was struck by the most powerful storm in its history. Parts of the northern Bahamas “are in the midst of a historic tragedy,” he said. At least five people have died. Hurricane Dorian continues to batter Grand Bahama and has caused widespread flooding in many islands of the northwest and central Bahamas.What to WatchItaly faces another hurdle today in its bid to form a new government, when the Five Star Movement asks its members in an online vote if they support the party forming an alliance with the Democrats, formerly their sworn political enemies.And finally … A Ugandan pop-star-turned-politician is on a mission to do what no one else has managed for more than 30 years: topple President Yoweri Museveni. Robert Kyagulanyi, known as Bobi Wine on stage, has emerged as the biggest threat to Museveni in the 2021 elections, thanks to his huge popularity among Uganda’s young, a third of whom are either unemployed or not in education. “We are into this to change our country,” Kyagulanyi, 37, said. \--With assistance from Rosalind Mathieson and Iain Marlow.To contact the author of this story: Flavia Krause-Jackson in London at [email protected] contact the editor responsible for this story: Anthony Halpin at [email protected] more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.com©2019 Bloomberg L.P.

KAMPALA, Uganda | Uganda's opposition pop star Bobi Wine set to return home

New Post has been published on https://www.stl.news/kampala-uganda-ugandas-opposition-pop-star-bobi-wine-set-to-return-home/172375/

KAMPALA, Uganda | Uganda's opposition pop star Bobi Wine set to return home

KAMPALA, Uganda— Uganda’s pop star-turned-opposition lawmaker is returning home on Thursday after seeking treatment in the United States for injuries suffered during alleged state torture, while police say they will meet him at the airport.

Bobi Wine, whose real name is Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, is charged with treason over his alleged role in an August incident in which President Yoweri Museveni‘s motorcade was pelted with stones.

Ssentamu is out on bail. His lawyers call the treason charge false.

Ugandan authorities said police will escort him from the airport to his home to maintain order. “Unlawful rallies, processions and assemblies” will not be allowed, they said.

That drew an immediate response from Ssentamu, who tweeted from an airport lounge in Amsterdam that he is “a free Ugandan with the right to move freely in my country. The police (have) no business telling me who receives me and who cannot or where I go and where I cannot. This impunity must stop now.”

The 36-year-old Ssentamu says he is fighting for freedom from oppression and wants Museveni, in power since 1986, to retire. Museveni in turn has accused opposition figures of trying to lure young people into rioting. Ssentamu has a big following among poor, unemployed young people in urban areas.

Ssentamu has alleged he was tortured by members of the presidential guard who arrested him on Aug. 14 and detained him for several days. The government denies the allegations.

His arrest sparked riots by demonstrators demanding his release and security forces violently put down protests in the capital, Kampala.

Dozens of global musicians have condemned the treatment of the singer, and the European Union parliament and some U.S. senators have urged Ugandan authorities to respect basic human rights.

Museveni, a key U.S. ally on regional security, took power by force and has since been elected five times. Although he has campaigned on his record of establishing peace and stability, some worry those gains are being eroded the longer he stays in power.

The 74-year-old Museveni is now able to seek re-election in 2021 because parliament passed legislation last year removing a clause in the constitution that prevented anyone over 75 from holding the presidency. Ssentamu publicly opposed that decision.
