Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni’s warning to protesters planning an anti-corruption march highlights the ongoing political unrest in the country. Young Ugandans are demanding an end to government corruption, inspired by successful protests in neighboring Kenya. Museveni’s iron-fisted leadership since 1986 has drawn criticism, while supporters praise him for maintaining stability. The president’s accusations of protesters working with foreigners to cause chaos adds fuel to the fire. Police refusal to permit the march has not deterred organizers, who argue for their constitutional right to peaceful demonstration. Sanctions imposed on corrupt officials further fuel the protests, with demands for resignations and justice for victims. The Kenyan government also faces similar protests, with President Ruto calling for an end to violence and seeking opposition collaboration to quell the unrest. Despite claims of peaceful protests, the government’s violent response has resulted in casualties, further escalating tensions. The political landscape in both Uganda and Kenya remains volatile, with potential for significant changes if the protests persist.
