Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni has issued a stern warning to citizens planning anti-corruption protests, stating that they are 'playing with fire.' The protests are scheduled to take place following a series of deadly anti-government demonstrations in neighboring Kenya, where clashes with security forces resulted in at least 50 fatalities.
Despite the government's refusal to grant a permit for the protest, many young Ugandans are determined to proceed with the march to the country's parliament. The Uganda Police Force has labeled the planned protests as 'potentially anarchic' and has warned against disorderly conduct.
