a court has suspended that decision well those are the headlines on al-jazeera but do stay with us because inside story is coming up next thank you very much for watching. newsstand the differences. and the similarities of cultures across the world. and al-jazeera. those pop star turned opposition m.p. bobby why is facing a charge of treason his supporters say he was beaten while in custody as the government faces protests and widespread condemnation so what's behind the recent unrest this is inside story.

welcome to this edition of inside story on the whole robin perhaps the best known face of the ugandan opposition bobby wine is in custody once again facing a charge of treason which carries the death penalty the singer who became an m.p. last year has been a strong critic of president yarima seventy who's been in power since one thousand nine hundred eighty six his arrest last week led to widespread protests and a crackdown by state forces and when he showed up in court on thursday why showed signs of injuries his supporters say that he was beaten while in military custody well we have a lot to discuss with our guests but first this report from catherine saw in the ugandan capital kampala. this is the man many ugandans had been wanting to see the view wine of popular musician and member of parliament appeared at a military court in the north and town of good looking weak and in pain he had been in military cassidy since last wednesday he was arrested following vallance in

local election campaigns in the north after presidential in the seventies mottaki it was attacked the state withdrew their military leaders charges of possession of firearms and ammunition you are legally set free i lived in here on how to judge us . it was an emotional moment for wine but he was not really free in the future grain two hundred and they're arresting him now he was immediately taken to a magistrate's court where he was charged with treason with intent to do harm to the passing of the president of the republic or uganda i don't know fully. understand moved towards them. and smile she. the real when screwed over the pretty sure. income part of the government's deployed police and soldiers in some parts of the city that are seen as hot spots

including where we are right now trying to prevent people from gathering or trying to get to their town fantastic you forces also blocked several opposition politicians from leaving them. opposition leader who has been arrested and detained often over the years was again taken by police he had talked to the media cutting off spinning people cutting off forty million people. so people whenever the they must be able to widen the current we are wired to the heart of the magistrate in gulu ordered that wind gets argenta medical care and that doctors be allowed and he needed access to him he will remain in cassidy until the end of the month when he appears in court with thirty two others also charged with treason. all the while he supporters in good cheer him on saying the want to

elect and to his free catherine so i al-jazeera. before we bring in our guest let's take a quick look at uganda's political history it gained independence from britain in one nine hundred sixty two with milton obote as prime minister in one nine hundred seventy one about it was toppled in a military coup led by army chief it mean i means time in power included the expulsion of asians and the deaths of hundreds of thousands of his own people in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine tanzania invaded uganda forcing i mean to flee the country the year later milton obote he regained power after elections and became president but five years later he was deposed in another military coup and in one thousand nine hundred six national resistance army rebels took compiler and installed yarima seventy as president and he's been in power of a sense. i will talk to our guest in a moment but first let's go to the ugandan capital kampala where we're joined on

the telephone line by opposition m.p. alan says one yama good to have you with us on inside story can you tell us what the situation is like on the ground it must be quite tense here of course this regime is not he described in. the thirteenth overs this month where we had an early action campaign going bad. and some of our members of the opposition who are going to campaign for member. where it stood by police clearly one of the grave where grave in one of the members of parliament. some of them we originated from grew weary states but many carried by election come parlor over allegations of inciting various and some of them treason and another one corner brought javelin or having that we pointed which is again missed the laws of this country because we are the opposition we have had such problems and we know. what

comes along with proposing a government which does include freedom of movement freedom of speech and not give peace to the opposition if this is the valley if this is the underbelly of what you're experiencing right now as a member of the opposition and from the phone calls you must have been having with many of your supporters across uganda how do you feel about your own safety considering what's happened to bobby wine of course are much more on makes trusted because we've been into this. with you know posing the government together with the same age and the main problem that we are causing to the government now says we are youths we call on the message to the youth family tickets to. much. i'm concerned for anymore because i know that what i do watched by government and that's why even to get me on the phone it has been

a problem to you. we don't have any security we don't have anything we or is being taken to preserve and police like yesterday when i tried to go on their witness good session my friend juggling me i was arrested at home which clearly states that i'm not eva we have way too many problems our supporters are being detained or you see the gun people being from where homes being arrested have been killed so we are for tougher are saying wanda due to the treaty which is not going on well indeed i think you color a very concerning picture for the global audience so watching this edition of inside story allen sus one the other thanks very much for joining us income policy . well let's bring in our guest now from london we have joseph machina he's a commentator on african affairs in the ugandan capital kampala rose bellecourt

america a blogger and writer of african issues and affairs and also in london alex vines who's the head of the africa program at chatham house welcome to all of my guests robin i'll start with you because we heard what an opposition m.p. is thinking and saying and feeling in the capital that you come from this evening how much concern is that amongst the public and on social media about what's going on. thank you for having me there really isn't wouldn't come but i like that on our m.p. has say it's really tense ugandans where shekinah yesterday seeing images of probably one who could hardly walk but himself he was i'm glad chair and for a whole week we've been looking at images of another empty voice own are in hospital and it's been our life support so that the money is really a chance in people or really afraid of what future will have elections it's

a do or die indeed those elections twenty twenty one just to see let me bring you in from london i mean how much of a threat can a songwriter singer x. rapper really be here's a shocker isn't this so here is i think in context this is really not new seven has been in power for thirty two years he came to power violently but he also used the violence for the fast ten years of his government to suppress the democratic opposition over a period of time coming to about twenty years when the traditional recenter position like is a better decay mean he was one of their own dissident got as much a beating as made of this opposition leaders have had what is new is that what we want is relatively young as you i guess seem to suggest but also too because he came from a cycle that was supposedly unknown he was three years old when seven came to power so i think there is an element of him. unity and complicity in government but the fact that this guy came means two dozen independent m.p. went to parliament has not supported two independent candidates and they've won and

he's able to stand up he's a singer he's an artist and by the way he's also able to talk to articulate without prejudice where in politics we probably assume that at least not necessarily guys would actually play intellectual rigor when it comes to pull it would be politics it is substantially new what is it is the case that the international community is now joining all ugandans and listening for the kind of messages but really has been across the country for the last nearly thirty two years and that is what is going on it is a new it's being impacted factor social media indeed and we'll talk about what the international community hopefully later in the program alex vines from bring you in here from london as well how much of a breath of fresh air is bobby why and how much of a threat is the to miss seventy in the lead up to presidential elections in twenty twenty one and a mr seventy years is nervous he's worried he has been as. the previous speaker said been in power since one thousand nine hundred six over thirty in coming up to thirty years of that's a tremendously long period of time and there's a desire for change there's a desire for change in uganda particularly because so many ugandans the majority of

them were born after mr mo seventy became president so there's a there is a desire for a new narrative new politics new ways of doing things and somebody that doesn't come from the stable of of of liberation if with some way we call it from the national resistance army background is something that's completely new system a seventy will be very concerned about his chances for a sixth term and alex how important is he one when the elections are next held how important is the youth vote in recent elections in pakistan we saw how important social media and the youth vote were a youth vote where they weren't following the designated political parties here in in uganda we're seeing the same sort of trend where we have a generation who won't remember as you say. the liberation so to speak of uganda from various military coups and. democratically elected governments as the as and

when they were how influential are is such a young population in uganda at the moment when they have someone like bobby wine who speaks their language i mean bobby wine is a charismatic young politician he speaks their language he is the. standard bearer of change and representing new politics and so plenty of ugandans will will be interested in him not only that i think there's international interest because of this and also we have to look at the historical pattern that's developing the pattern that we're seeing at the moment across africa is that longstanding leaders lightness missed in the seventy are increasingly under pressure a couple of longstanding leaders left office last year this is a trend we're going to see continuing as these leaders get older and older and more divorced from the politics of you indeed i mean rosabel in kampala bobby wine seems

to cross cultural barriers and doesn't really care about tribal affiliations or political divides even if somebody is fighting a member of a seat in parliament and he's not from bobby winds party bobby is still supporting him and that's very important it's showing sort of a cross political support that wasn't in ugandan politics before is that correct and how is that resonating amongst again the younger generation or even the older generation how they viewing this i think you have to realize uganda is the second youngest country in the world with an average age of nineteen what the wind came to the national scene around two thousand and three through his music saw we grew up pretty much myself the university gave up on the winds music and. and that's the experience the first experience and his music slowly began to appeal to the political to carry political messages and you have to see also he story he grew

up in an informal settlements in the suburbs in fact he'd look at iran as the get a president so he fled god and in people or ten feet come up to kill let their issues he knows what he needs to come from the trenches and be somebody and seat in a place where nobody expected you to be and bring your own tape bring your own feet to the table he has done that to the state of war so that's the story young guns relates to rather than somebody who was part and parcel of the military of the current establishment they are seeing a new face somebody they can relate to finally and he cuts across tribal lands because we have been a young generation that a pretty much can see beyond tribal lands jason i bring you in here because all realize that he's a fresh young face of the political stream but if you take away gun charges and the new charge him with treason which is potentially

a capital crime but you put him behind bars you take that face away from the potential electorate how dangerous a game is the government playing right now with these charges extremely dangerous of course the been through this before and obviously. rosemary would rather would suggest and like i said my challenge we've been at this game for the last thirty three years the only difference is that we're not covering them or not as era you know the truth is that was having a charge to people with treason from as early as one thousand and six from some of his many friends of people who'd been charged with treason written in uganda in the hundreds perhaps the so kids are basically himself was judge retreats and many of this would have been trumped or trumped up charges the more you charge people like bobby one and there's a case of this world and put them in prison the more you make it much more difficult the reality today is it's not even perhaps about even bobbie one person. it is very much about where uganda is at the moment and in fact the talk about the questions of identity and even ideological divides is no longer about that ugandans

are very much focused about basically wanting change basically wanting to do anything they would like onto to basically simply say not you must have been to the extreme that actually people now came into the streets of london across the world in unprecedented numbers they're really not caring about. lies double substructure but mostly point to this simply just a tad so anything the line you two at the moment is about it will be way. beyond where they don't act independently they quite surprised me i don't know who advises this government this days but i actually read what they did last week if they get anything far worse than what they've so far done to date they would make this trip it was for themselves it only so bring you in here because the international reaction to this is pretty varied we've seen demonstrations by m.p.'s in neighboring kenya we have question marks as to whether the commonwealth or even the african union will make any statements but the us certainly has and it says in its. text in its social media message that it decried the decried the brutal

treatment of m.p.'s journalists and other security forces by the incumbent government and when you have musicians such as chris martin christie hein brian and the african great for me cutie also getting in weighing in on this arrest and the situation in uganda again there is concern there is a lot in the international realms there that there is look uganda is seen as an anchor state it's a country that has seen a significant degree of stability. since the the eighty's and there's been significant investment it is a rough neighborhood it's got south sudan next to it it's got the democratic republic of the congo as a neighbor but there is increasing concern that mr ms seventy after so many terms in office is increasingly becoming a source of instability i think the reading is that his own ambition missed in the

seventies vision is probably to remain in office for many more years and maybe die of natural causes in office that's not a sustainable proposition so i can see increasing international signaling. that things need to change in uganda the reality though is things will only in change ugandan in uganda if ugandans themselves graphs graphs the opportunity and i think clearly the new politics that's happening partly of vang guarded by bobby wine is exactly what is occurring with mr ms seventy really doesn't want. to countenance any you know any exit and you know is convinced he will be elected or reelected should i say in twenty twenty one so he wasn't trying to interrupt you alex that's just bring up to speed with the more information for our viewers back at home because uganda has

a population of over thirty four million people with more than three quarters of them under the age of thirty as has been mentioned earlier in this conversation agriculture is an important part of the economy employing one third of ugandans but an estimated fourteen point two million people are still half the population of thought to be living in extreme poverty both leading in from what alex just said there about you know what the population must really need what the international community looking at if you just look at you know in your neighborhood of zimbabwe we saw and we still see that over the garbage there was still a great deal of poverty a great deal of nks to among the public because they wanted to see their lives better i mean the average wage for household according to the ugandan national household survey of twenty sixteen that's the most recent we have is forty five dollars a month it's one percent g.d.p. and eighty five percent of the population are in informal paid work i mean

they're terrible statistics for a country that is rich in resources and potential and a lot of the population where you already just don't feel as if they're part of that growth i think you have to realize that we have a very high youth unemployment in this. entry and several reports from the world buy from other agencies sure that for every three ugandans that's help managed to go out of the four but it is keep the poverty line two of them four but because they're not the full security mechanisms as all young people can cause the majority of those who fall back into poverty and they're increasingly you know i just teetered with that every day have hundreds of ugandans lining up at our airports going to the middle east to do educate the ugandans with graduate degrees to do seem queer led by jobs to be house helps to do a domestic work and that really shows the day our need of any economic reform that

is necessary to turn things around but unfortunately the government of president was seventy is well known for its financial hummer edge of this nation he runs a very highly. political or political system that benefits him where he has to reward his people or the people he chooses with a lot of money he just paid of a lot of letters for him to bust that to remove that edge limit which would have deterred him from running again so he has a lot of ways he finds a way through all of these monies that find their way to his supporters but they don't find their way to the budget alive and to invest in the key areas which are supposed to spark their unnecessary development we've seen a constitutional change joseph where the president stands now will continue though and i'm quoting here from two thousand and twelve to a local television station where he said that he did not want to lead uganda beyond

the age of seventy five we know that's not going to happen. one has to sort of work in the realms of hypotheticals now to a certain extent and we've seen the people and people in power in africa deposed by the military uganda is no stranger to that what is the role of the military at the moment are they in the seventies pocket or are they an independent group that can think for themselves if the situation with the public gets worse. uganda is perhaps the most unique only followed by around the am is basically in the seventies baby moby whine as you hear the talk about the gun with seven immediately mention anything to do with guns he gets scared he's a former police chief who himself a general he's actually facing trial today gun related part of this is actually linked to the geopolitics of the region where seven and government are particularly good friends with each other and all of both of them are collect using the other of wanting to ferment opposition to the other you can read into between that but the point alex was making about stability that's part of the challenge for us in africa

you know australia has had the fourth prime minister since two thousand and ten australia is not in step and several in africa in particular in uganda were graced with the seven way. the narrative of stability was used to actually entrench one man in power and with seventy that regular response was really for most of the instability in the region of stability in africa when as long as to means one person who is able to hold state power but using military might be backed by and large by the west it becomes rather unfortunate for us going forward those seven didn't as i said no no that he would be challenged in this way the reality is that he fears that come the next elections the threshold is such that perhaps it might even be harder for him to get fifty one percent of the was and therefore be taken to second run and ugandans would rally around whoever is the alternative and that alternative is likely going to be backed by the vast majority of young people so it's a scare for him ok alex of georgia can see for the last questions we're at the end of the program nearly if we fast sold to the future we don't know what that will

bring if wind is incarcerated and sentenced to death for treason housecoat how's that going to play out from the seventy's government and also within the domestic public do you think in the international community. i think it will be very difficult for uganda i think that you'll get western countries. don't regard uganda strategic so there can be a moral element to their foreign policy and the ugandan economy is very vulnerable it's not us as a strong economy it needs foreign direct investment it is in a difficult neighborhood so i hope that the ugandan government will think very carefully on how it progresses at the moment because it is a vulnerable economy and if the economy deteriorates further that would in turn in packed on the politics even more it would exacerbate things even further for mr i'm a seventy so this is a really important watershed moment for the country i think and its future political trajectory well i think your other guests as well on the show will do

justice. speaking passionately to fellow wrote him a few g.'s l. ers is urging this audience to begin demanding their rights hoping his words will connect with the old and break through to the young ultimately inspiring them to seek justice for the constant persecution he says they faced in me and more. that's why we're raising our voice we want to go back home we want to be citizens of our country who want to live there with safety and security. is a member of the ira conroe him just a society for peace and human rights he tells me there is absolutely no excuse for the review not to be recognized as citizens of me and. my own. are mothers and fathers are from the end maher we were also born there but they still made us suffer we didn't get an education they didn't even let us pray at the

mosque. one year ago a crackdown by me and more as military and reckoning state began a campaign of violence against the ranges that included mass killings sexual violence and arson since then over seven hundred thousand real hinges escaped to neighboring bangladesh the un called it a textbook example of ethnic cleansing mean mars government however has denied allegations atrocities were committed for the rohingya who fled violence in me and more last august life here was supposed to be temporary but in the past twelve months cox's bazaar has become home to the largest refugee settlement in the world now with each passing day the refugees here worry that their existence here may become permanent nowadays signs of construction are everywhere but as the camp grows so does the frustration. living conditions have improved and yet they're

remarkable we had been told that there were going to be some sit ins today quieter demonstrations that would be more in line with the kinds of protests that have that have popped up in the past year in different parts of the camp what we saw was completely different thousands of her hands are refugees men women young and old all out in force demanding their right marching through alleyways they have banners they demanded that the international community do more to help them they wanted to mark this terrible anniversary they called it a very black day for them august twenty fifth because everything changed for them also many of them were chanting no more genocide and they were saying that the international criminal court these to investigate allegations of genocide that they say the man more military committed against the refugees that's according to the refugees here included a long camp so really striking and really highlighting how the voices here have

become emboldened how activists have started wanting to speak up more and feel like they can do so now i must mention though that they have to get a permit for this demonstration today they have to get permission through the government of bangladesh they did that we also saw security forces bangladeshi security forces here today to make sure that nothing got out of hand but it was peaceful the demonstrations are by and large over right now but really a remarkable day and very different from what we've seen we've been here in the past elizabeth and the home of these people most of these people have been living at that camp for a year and now we have reports of. bearable conditions that has a change what is they like now. look the infrastructure of this camp is much improved the last time i was here in july i saw that a lot of buildings have been going on you're talking about bridges and dams you're talking about new huts that have been constructed in areas of the camp that are

less prone to natural disasters but you're still talking about an area that floods very easily especially during monsoon season you look behind me here you see all these trucks that are perched on these hillsides because of land that was the forested the majority of their were him live in these very current preparer years housing units made of bamboo and plastic that are being constructed on these muddy hillsides that have no vegetation so whenever it rains that means that these areas are very prone to landslides happening that have happened in the past and the workers we do speaking with are worried they can happen again so there's a lot to worry about yes things are better the conditions are still very dire and critical and frankly speaking they were uninjured have not gotten the kind of support from the international community as far as fundraising as far as much needed aid that they say that they need and able to survive a little hama thank you very much for that for now that is muhammad june live in
