President Yoweri Museveni on May 29 signed what has been arguably the most controversial law, the Anti-Homosexuality Bill. To Ugandans, Museveni is a hero, with analysts saying he is most likely to have a walkover in the next election.

And his declaration of “war” against critics of the law has been very well received by his supporters.
