Not only in the USA the presidential elections are the number one topic of the day, but in Uganda, too, elections will be held next spring. At the moment, the situation in the country is very serious with riots, protests and fights between supporters of current president Museveni, members of the opposition and the police. It escalated further today with the arrest of the opposition candidate Bobi Wine and the killing of at least 3 people.

In this video Flavia speaks about what this means in detail and the consequences she is seeing.
