At least one person died and several others were injured on Wednesday after Uganda police fired bullets and teargas at opposition supporters at a rally against the lifting of presidential age limits.
The security forces have in recent days broken up rallies called to oppose plans seen to extend President Yoweri Museveni’s rule after 2021 when his current fifth-term expires.
