UGANDA |đșđŹđȘđșThe European Parliament has called Ugandaâs election what it was: a military operation to crush the only credible opposition. Security forces were used not to protect voters, but to intimidate, kill, detain, torture, and silence political opponents.
Statements are no longer enough. The EU, its Member States, and allied democracies must move to consequences â identifying and acting against those responsible, from commanders to political enablers.
Targeted sanctions, visa bans, asset freezes, suspension of security cooperation, and a review of aid that sustains repression must follow.
By this point, the U.S, the UK, and the EU must understand that repeated failure to act is steering the region toward deeper instability, normalized violence, and the erosion of democratic and regional security norms â with consequences far beyond Uganda.
