Ugandan Opposition Leader Besigye Reportedly Kidnapped

Kizza Besigye, a prominent Ugandan opposition leader and critic of President Yoweri Museveni, has been reportedly kidnapped in Nairobi, Kenya, and is currently detained in a Ugandan military jail. His wife, Winnie Byanyima, an executive director at UNAIDS, has confirmed the detention and is demanding his release, questioning why he is held in a military facility given he is not a soldier. Besigye, who has contested against Museveni in multiple elections, was seized during a book launch event in Kenya. The Ugandan government has not commented on the incident, while Kenyan authorities deny involvement. Besigye has a history of arrests and legal battles in Uganda, often related to his outspoken opposition to Museveni's regime.
