We take the view that President Museveni is the most dangerous ruler in the history of this God-forsaken country. Why?
1. Uganda is effectively a military police state in the guise of elective democracy
2. Elections are shams where Musveni uses the state coffer to fund hisNRM political machine, uses the intimidating presence of armed military during elections, and the opposition is scared away from getting radio air-time
3. Any public show of dissatisfaction of the populace is crushed by armed police.
