        You should stop poking your noses into the internal affairs of a sovereign country. Some elements in Britain want to see an unstable Uganda.

        Uhmmm,very unfortunate events, but could have been avoided if he hadn't crossed the red line ie accepting yo be arrested without fighting

        Absolutely no evidence that he fought. Witnesses say he was brutalized while he had blacked out. Museveni and his “people” need to leave the civilized parts of Uganda, and they go back to their centuries old manners of committing genocide.

        What we saw on the floor of parliament during the Age limit bill, where Bobi and Zaake were beating colleagues, is evidence of wt happened.

        Results of thinking that you're more Ugandan than others.

        No, this is the result of having a criminal junta running the country and torturing bystanders.
