Ugandan opposition uses national flag in election protests

Ugandan opposition supporters are using the national flag as a symbol of protest in the upcoming presidential election due to government suppression. Facing restrictions on campaign symbols, opposition leader Bobi Wine and his supporters have ingeniously adapted the Ugandan flag, a move criticized by the ruling party as politicizing a neutral symbol. Analysts suggest this tactic, while risky, effectively galvanizes patriotism and highlights the shrinking space for free expression as President Museveni seeks re-election.
