BBC Uganda's 80-year-old president in bid to extend 40-year rule　2 days ago

Farouk Chothia

「Uganda's long-serving president, Yoweri Museveni, 80, has been declared the governing party's candidate in next year's presidential election, opening the way for him to seek to extend his nearly 40 years in power.」

「Museveni's critics say he has ruled with an iron hand since he seized power as a rebel leader in 1986.

He has won every election held since then, and the constitution has been amended twice to remove age and term limits to allow him remain in office.」

「"Being in the opposition in Uganda means being labelled a terrorist," he said.」

　ウガンダでは政治的反対派にあるということはテロリストとラベルされることである―。
