Bobi Wine speaks on his career in politics

Musician and activist turned politician, Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, also known as Bobi Wine, in 2017 became the youngest opposition leader in Uganda to run against long-standing President Yoweri Museveni. Wine has had numerous run-ins with authorities over the years, largely seen as efforts to deter him from running for the presidency. Today, he remains the leader of the official opposition, an advocate for human rights and a fierce critic of the Ugandan government. Through his partnership with the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom, Wine examines how the youth vote is changing African politics, as well as women's participation in public leadership.
He speaks to Newzroom Afrika's Naledi Moleo about youth and women's participation in African politics and his partnership with the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom.

Bobi Wine is a force to be reckoned. "South Africans should take a walk around Africa and they will learn 2 things among others. 1, that they are African and we will teach them to be friendly to other Africans and 2, they will learn not to take what they have for granted because it is not far from extinction."

[@paulolok8290]

Guns, Guns Everywhere in Uganda , he should have emphasized that Uganda is a military dictatorship with zero political space or a guise of sorts. What the world is refusing to accept is that Uganda's freedom has to be physically fought for , other avenues are a licence for Musevenei and his ilk to rule for the country for the rest of our lives. Guns, guns, guns indeed!
