one nine hundred sixty two with milton obote as prime minister in one hundred seventy one about it was toppled in a military coup led by army chief mean a means time in power included the expulsion of asians and the deaths of hundreds of thousands of his own people in one nine hundred seventy nine tanzania invaded uganda forcing i mean to flee the country a 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. over tautologous 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 is

racially. it is quite tense. this month where we had an election campaign going bad you know and some of our members of the opposition who are going to campaign for a member. where is checked by police clearly one of the grave. grave in one of the members of parliament. some of them we originated from. where estates when we need carried by election come parlor over allegations of inciting various and some of the entries and another one corner brought. or having we pour news which is our limits pillars 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. you know posing the government together with the same age and the main problem that we are causing to the government now since we are youths we call on the message to the youth family to keep. much. i'm concerned for any more because i know that what i do watched by government and that's where you're going 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 were encouraged to go on

their witness good session my friend juggling me i was arrested at home which clearly states that i'm not eva or go to milly problems our supporters are being detained you see the big gun people being from where homes and arrested have been killed so we are for tougher are saying wanda due to the repeats which is not going on well indeed i think you color a very concerning picture for the global audience a watching this edition of inside story allen sus one yama thanks very much for joining us in kampala. well let's bring in our guests 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 is the man wouldn't come but i like the owner m.p. has say it's really tense ugandans were shaken yesterday seeing images of will be 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 ready to have him people or really afraid of what future we 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 men of this a position 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 politics but to 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 it will talk about what the international community's they hope for later in the program alex vines quite 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 be seventy in the lead up to presidential elections in twenty twenty one under mr i'm a seventy as is nervous he's worried he has been as you know the previous speaker said been in power since one thousand nine hundred six over thirty and 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 yeah 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.
