In Uganda, Speaker Anita Among faces a corruption scandal, with allegations of misuse of parliamentary resources leading to her sanctioning by the US and UK. Despite calls for her resignation, Among has denied wrongdoing and is under investigation, while protests erupt as activists express frustration over government corruption. In neighboring Kenya, anti-government protests have escalated into demands for President William Ruto’s resignation, sparked by a controversial finance bill. Clashes have intensified between anti-government demonstrators and a newly emerged pro-government faction, resulting in dozens of deaths and military intervention.
