hello i'm kristie want to welcome to news africa it's good to have your company a ugandan academic who was imprisoned dr insulting the president has been for 8 a judge in kampala said stella nancy had been wrongfully convicted nancy has gained notoriety for using a strategy called radical rudeness it aims to unsettle powerful people like this man uganda's president you're in was 70 young she has often criticized the longtime leader one time she described him as a pair of the talks in 2018 she was arrested and charged with cyber harassment today's verdict was met with cheers but dramatic scenes outside the court. even before the judgment was read out stella and nancy how the glint in her eye it was standing room only as uganda's most formidable feminist enjoyed her 1st day out

of prison in more than a year she scribbled notes as the george weighed out his very unsure appreciation when he ruled she'd been wrongfully convicted or supporters were more enthusiastic . the o.-r. side the chance continued and demands for run searched followed. up. oh. why was i in brazil because i rocked up. they can rest my. interest on this then i remember is that why i wasn't the victorious mood soon tom volatile the crowd confronting the police after they thought she was being rearrested nancy collapsed amid the scrum for supporters carrying her away. as officers sought to take her back to prison. in

future. and a tug of war over a famous firebrand. only halted by a round of warning shots. but i think that we've done. in the end the authorities won and insisted on taking young c. back to prison to collect our belongings our supporters insisted on joining along for the ride. it's got to compile the way a reporter genius is standing by hi julia so you live in that course today what was it like. the court was fully parked when still and as it was coming i think there was a lot of people wanting to be there when this big decision was going to be made but

as soon as the decision was made so and as the judge sits there for years she went out to address the priests and there was a very huge it came from above ground that some of. us thought that the police wanted to really. take a bark to prison so that she wanted her during this this is what caused the. couple of gunshots they were forcing her into one of the vines. a couple of minutes after exhibiting court and what started as a very calm situation ended up to be a little bit violent yeah we saw that really coming. yes this is the 2nd time he has been in prison for writing about the president is this also maybe about a personal vendetta being carried out by the president. on one side someone might think so. because one might say that prison chairman 7 is a little bit distant from this case but at least. so we know to the supporters of.

the supporters of. our cues prison jury and the 70 of using the law to go against the people. they think. that is why when she won the case today it was more like everyone in the opposition has won because they felt that this is a victory that they have to share and celebrate together they think. they have won multiple cases and that the president should know that you can't use the courts of law to go against his opponents. janice we saw there was tons of support full in the courts but just how much support does she have and in society. i should say a lot of support especially among educated you read into. it is also important to bear in mind in

a very conservative society and some moralists i read a really slow to embrace his unique way of activism so on one side she has very many supporters those who believe and can actually interpret what she says but. she sees that not everyone. to go against injustice what she calls in just the she says she kind of choose this so she has a big following with to the people who who understand her but the more. bracing especially with a strong language. all right that's. thank you. told those president fiery now see they look set to claim a 4th term in office he's family have been in power for more than 5 decades on saturday the country of 8000000 goes to the polls and many are trying to call back some of their power. charged emotions at this

newspaper's stand in the run up to the elections. the face of president nothing be on the front page is enough to set off this crowd. there's nothing here there's corruption there's no security we're not a free. market from 6 in the morning to 10 at night. all have families we are only children that's not enough that's about 60 dollars each month to go is one of the world's poorest countries half of all told police leave them less than $2.00 a day the president promises prosperity for all even though 6 other candidates are running there are hardly any billboards of them due to lack of funds protests are not welcome you are free to walk around here all day as long as you don't plan to demonstrate that's because the government when you hear that core tale of the right

of all the world and their government building the government says it's for security reasons to him it's just an attempt to suppress dissent for because a coup is part of a movement that demands political freedom. in that regard he said law doesn't serve anything but because the people are miserable there will be for the togolese what we are to live we have an oppressive regime. that a risk people. being confined to a real cheap didn't stop him from being at the forefront of demonstrations calling for a presidential term limits until 28 in 2019 the government was forced to amend the constitution a 2 term limit but the clock was reset for nothing be his previous terms in office don't count. moon. we want to limit his mandate and we want to the election with

2 rounds but the limit doesn't apply to him on a. continuous because the president is still in office who can. love me and southern togo are predominantly and. while in the north where the president is from voters largely support him members of this rally say things have been improving. 10 years ago do you know it was like it is today so yes we do prisoners doing something good. is a political scientist he worries about electoral irregularities and that growing frustration among the opposition could turn violent. what we don't want to become so desperate they become radical. international opinion must take this into account. just because this generation doesn't act violently doesn't mean they want next week. for he wants to remain

peaceful and creative he says no one will chase him away if he wears a t. shirt and protests on the side road it's his way of pushing forward in the hope of sparking organized protests that will challenge the status quo. my next guest today is hereby you know he has written a book title of total. all a democracy and the construction in welcome to africa louis powell has been in the hands of one family in total for 5 decades what do you mean when you say a democracy under construction. well defect is that total has been lured from $960.00 treat by a family that is called yes indeed he had a much different look 1st of all and then dead less 38 years after he was he saw

the date in $25.00 and then it was including during peak in year so nobody's looking for change and change we maybe we understand by the opposite bias he's. a limp you all jump to 5 or so the son of the 1st president of the country when you're on n.p.r. . and you eat a lot and not is that is hanging out on this particular election it comes off to dramatic reforms to the country's constitution do you think that this election is going to be free and fair we've had reports about some election observers for example being bad and. the fact is do we be serious problems after. the results of the election because media opposition parties have not taken the elections in which you have to be she's at the national assembly you have a dick and bats also you have an observer during the process and we send it to understand

and on the organizing this election so they would say the elections have not been included so they are not for that we can be looking for it but everything everything has been done even with you have 2 groups restricting douras of democratization in western africa and very quickly if you can add at louis in your opinion what needs to be what needs to happen in total fulfilled they have to be real change. is the involvement of the act was they also know they need the involvement of the media because when you look at how did change happen in sin together for example it was a matter of involvement of the political parties this is a safety and oh so of the media so everyone needs to feel that it is a national issue for all of the police people to have the will to see and to make
