Political unrest

So the drama continues in Uganda.  The leader of the opposition party was in Kenya for medical treatment after he was arrested last time but he is reportedly coming back to Uganda today ( and if you read between the lines it is to stir up more trouble).  There was an attempt to meet (peacefully?) in Constitutional Square yesterday and once again the police got involved. Two other former presidential candidates were involved and arrested. Tomorrow is the inauguration  of Museveni which will be a big todo. I also read this today which will not make people happy: "President Museveni yesterday announced plans to amend the Constitution to deny bail for murder, rape, treason, defilement and riot suspects...."  This is all potentially a lot of tinder in a smoldering city. Please keep praying for peace!
