Ugandan opposition party supporters based in the US at the weekend staged a peaceful demonstration outside the United Nations headquarters in New York, urging the international community to check on the excesses of President Yoweri Museveni’s administration.
In Kampala, the government dismissed the protestors as “busybodies, … with visa issues, …and justifying” their stay abroad, and said “they are not the first because we have had many people who pose as economic refugees in a way of mocking Uganda and they have never had any fruit from their actions”.
