Uganda detains opposition figure urging protests over prices
Summary by Ground News
Kizza Besigye, a four-time presidential candidate, has been unable to leave his home since May 12. Ugandan police routinely detain opposition figures inside their homes. His detention followed his call for Ugandans to protest against rising commodity prices. The government blames mostly on the war in Ukraine, a major supplier of grain and edible oils.
