About the Upcoming Ugandan Elections

Hi friends. SO I dont have time right now to write a long and thoughtful post about the upcoming elections (which I will, eventually), but I will say that I am completely appalled that President Museveni WHO HAS BEEN PRESIDENT FOR OVER 30 YEARS did not show up at the first ever live Presidential Debate this past Friday. There will be more to come concerning the history of Uganda, but for right now here are some links about the political atmosphere here in Uganda (and the full 5 hour long debate).
