YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Self-exiled Ugandan opposition leader Robert Kyagulanyi, also known as Bobi Wine, is urging US senators to press for targeted sanctions against his country's leader. #uganda #africa #worldnews #politics #bobiwine

Bobi Wine is calling for sanctions against those individuals that abuse rights, subvert democracy and the rule of law, and is also seeking meetings with companies to dissuade them from investing in Uganda.

He plans to use his exile to raise awareness about the shrinking democratic space in his country, where lawmakers have passed a law that critics say will control foreign donations to the opposition and civil society groups.
