25:00Now PlayingThis week on UpFront, Marc Lamont Hill sits down with Mahmood Mamdani to unpack how colonial rule still shapes politics in Uganda and what it means for global power today. From Idi Amin to Yoweri Museveni, Mamdani’s new book *Slow Poison* exposes how the shadows of empire created leaders, and a state, that still haunt Uganda.
Mamdani also gets personal, reflecting on his son Zohran Mamdani’s run to become New York City’s first Muslim mayor, a victory that shows America’s generational and political shifts. But the conversation gets real when they discuss whether the same systems that crushed Uganda’s people are echoing in U.S. politics.
Originally broadcast on Al Jazeera’s channel Dec 6, 2025, this episode dives into colonial legacies, multipolarity, and the controversies shaping our world today.
