According to the report, Ugandan youth-led protests continue in Kenya, and similar rallies are being planned in neighboring Uganda. Young Ugandans, partially inspired by the protests in Kenya have been coordinating on social media an anti-corruption march towards the parliament on Tuesday.

However, Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni has warned protesters that they will be "playing with fire" if they press ahead with plans. In a televised address, Museveni warned the Ugandan organizers that their planned protest would not be tolerated.

He should not allow the people in his country to follow how the protesters in Kenya were doing in their last weeks' protests accusing Kenyan President Ruto.

Why are the world leaders against the masses protesting. Even here in Nigeria our planned protest because of inflation has been threatened

The problem of the protesters like in Kenya was they cared about violence. They should hold protests calmly and have the speakers speak about their demands via TV live and not harass the police.

I think that the time for the intimidation was a very long gone time. The Ugandan president should really do something about the country instead of instilling fear to the people.

It is the people who suffer a lot from a government that does not perform its commitment to the people. Protests are done everywhere.
