Ugandan presidential election 'like a war'
Ugandan presidential candidate and musician Robert Kyagulanyi, who is popularly known as Bobi Wine, has said that the campaign has felt less of a presidential campaign and more of a war.
"President Musseveni is not treating us as political opponents but he is treating us as terrorists. Recently, a lot of brutality and a lot of murder have been unleashed against unarmed citizens," Mr Wine told 91热爆 Hardtalk's Zeinab Badawi.
President Yoweri Museveni has been in power since 1986 and has often been accused of using violence against political rivals. He has always denied such charges.
Elections will be held on 14 January 2021 and 11 candidates will be challenging the president.
