Remanded Ugandan opposition leader Kizza Besigye’s new party People’s Front for Freedom launched
Besigye, a physician who retired from Uganda’s military at the rank of colonel, is a former president of the Forum for Democratic Change party, for many years Uganda’s most formidable opposition group. He has long been a fierce critic of Museveni, for whom he once served as a military assistant and personal doctor.
Uganda’s theatre of the absurd: How father and son’s ‘bicameral presidency’ threatens to fight corruption, then feeds it
In an interview broadcast on October 17, 2022, and cited by Liam Taylor (2022), President Tibuhaburwa Museveni said that his son “should not and will not” tweet about partisan politics. The next day Kainerugaba tweeted that “I am an adult and NO ONE will ban me from anything”. Muhoozi talk has been weaponised. It could one day push the regime – and Uganda – to the brink.
