President says foreigners are funding protest organisers
President Museveni has stated that he has intelligence indicating the anti-corruption protests, which took place on Tuesday and resumed today, are funded by foreign entities. According to Museveni, the individuals involved in the protests were planning "very bad things against Ugandans," and the nation will learn about these plans when the arrested protesters are tried in court. The President has been vocal in condemning corruption in the country, leading some to view his opposition to the anti-corruption demonstrations as contradictory. At least 80 people have been arrested since the demonstrations began on Tuesday.
