Wine Says He has Left Uganda

Source: US News & World Report

“Ugandan opposition leader ⁠Bobi ⁠Wine said he has temporarily ⁠left the country after two months in hiding ​in the wake of a presidential election in January that kept long‑time leader ‌Yoweri Museveni in office. Wine, ‌whose real name is Robert Kyagulanyi, disputed the outcome of that ⁠contest, alleging ⁠fraud, and had been in hiding since fleeing his home ​in Uganda’s capital Kampala. In a five-minute video message posted on X on Saturday, Wine said he had left the country for ‘critical engagements outside Uganda,’ without ​specifying where he was or what the engagements were. ‘At the right ⁠time ⁠I will come back ⁠and continue ​with the cause,’ he said. The pop star‑turned‑politician has said his campaign was ​constrained by security ⁠forces blocking his rallies and arresting his supporters.” (03/15/26)
