In Uganda, police arrested dozens of young protesters in Kampala amidst ongoing anti-corruption demonstrations inspired by recent protests in Kenya that successfully pressured the government to withdraw a contentious tax proposal. At least 73 individuals were detained on Tuesday, with additional arrests occurring on Thursday as the protests called for the resignation of parliament speaker Anita Among, who faces allegations of graft. President Yoweri Museveni condemned the protests, labeling demonstrators as 'playing with fire' and accusing them of being funded by foreign entities. Police have taken a hardline approach, stating that demonstrations threaten national peace and security. Activists, however, continue to rally support online, urging citizens to join the fight against corruption, which remains a critical issue in the country. The situation reflects a growing discontent among the youth against entrenched corruption in Uganda's political landscape.
