Ugandan opposition leader and musician Bobi Wine has sensationally released a song entitled Ogenda, a Luganda word that loosely translates as “You will fall”.
The song is said to be made directly for President Yoweri Museveni’s listening as he has “turned his back” on his word to bring democracy to the country, the singer lamented.
Bobi Wine told the BBC’s Focus on Africa programme that he had to expose the crimes committed under the president’s regime hence the graphic images used in the video.
“The regime in Uganda has invested a whole lot of money to cover up the atrocities,” he said.
Bobi Wine noted that the media in Uganda is gagged and the only way to expose the rot is through music.
“Justice can only happen when we expose the crimes, that is why we continue bringing it up, that is the only way we can fight back,” he said.
Conflict risks at the local level in Uganda are rising due to uncertain political succession, economic stagnation and a youth bulge.
