Ugandan Police Beating of Bobi Wine is Sign of Desperation
Black Agenda Radio with Nellie Bailey and Glen Ford
27 Aug 2018
🖨️ Print Article

The police beating and arrest of Bobi Wine, the wildly popular musician and Ugandan parliamentarian, is a major “embarrassment” for the U.S., which has supported strongman Yoweri Museveni’s regime since the Reagan era, said Black Star News publisher Milton Allamadi, a native of Uganda. Museveni has “stolen the last four elections,” said Allamadi, but the strength of the Wine-led opposition may mean the regime’s days are numbered.
