Is Uganda Laying the Groundwork for Future Unrest?

African Arguments published on 13 December 2017 a commentary titled "Bit by Bit, Uganda Is Laying the Groundwork for Future Unrest" by Magnus Taylor, International Crisis Group analyst for the Horn of Africa.

The author concludes that as President Museveni manoeuvres to extend his 30-year rule, a wide range of political and administrative reforms are urgently needed to avoid unrest. Pervasive corruption, polarized politics and authoritarian trends are setting the scene for future civil strife.
