On January 14, 2021 Ugandans casted their votes for their next president. The main candidates were Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, 76, the current president and Africa's third longest-serving dictator, and Ugandan prominent opposition politician and music star, Bobi Wine, 38, whose real name is Robert Kyagulanyi. As, predicted by AfroAmerica Network, the Ugandan dictator was declared the winner. Worldwide, it was an open secret that the votes were rigged. Bobi Wine rejected the results. Now he is fearing for his life and the lives of his followers. This week, Bobi Wine told the Western media, especially the US-based National Public Radio (NPR), that he knows he won the elections but he now lives everyday "as if it's a final day."
