        What freedom if you can't vote for the leader you want? What freedom whe you are not allowed to protest? What freedom when your government can decide to restrict your movement at anytime?

        Museveni has given this young man fame, power, international backing and citizens support with the way he’s recklessly managing the crisis. Now the world is coming for Museveni’s head soon!
