Museveni

President Yoweri Museveni, who comes from the Western Region, has been urging encroachers to vacate wetland areas and, according to local media, has declared 2025 a year of wetland conservation.

General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, the son of Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni, has reactivated his X account barely a week after he quit the social media platform, citing renewed focus on his military duties.

This is the second time Besigye, who has had run-ins with Museveni's government for the last two decades, is spending the Christmas holidays in prison.

Museveni has defended the use of military courts to try civilians.

Museveni's supporters deny the allegation, and say he has maintained stability during his rule of almost 40 years.
