L’Ouganda se rendra aux urnes ce jeudi, mais pour les dirigeants de l’opposition, l’\u00e9lection est \u00e9clips\u00e9e par les inqui\u00e9tudes concernant la r\u00e9pression politique et la d\u00e9tention des critiques du gouvernement. Le figure de l’opposition Bobi Wine a concentr\u00e9 sa campagne sur la question des prisonniers politiques, avec sa Plateforme d’unit\u00e9 nationale (NUP) organisant un service de pri\u00e8re en l’honneur des personnes actuellement d\u00e9tenues.<\/p>\n
Parmi les voix les plus \u00e9minentes critiquant le processus figure Winnie Byanyima, \u00e9pouse du leader de l\u2019opposition emprisonn\u00e9 Kizza Besigye et directrice ex\u00e9cutive de l\u2019ONUSIDA. Byanyima a qualifi\u00e9 le vote de \u00ab farce \u00bb, accusant le pr\u00e9sident Yoweri Museveni de pr\u00e9sider ce qu\u2019elle a d\u00e9crit comme un \u00c9tat militaris\u00e9. Elle a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 que l’Ouganda ne conserve qu’un \u00ab mince vernis \u00bb de d\u00e9mocratie, arguant que les institutions de l’\u00c9tat ont \u00e9t\u00e9 captur\u00e9es par le pr\u00e9sident et les forces de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 qui lui sont fid\u00e8les.<\/p>\n
Les analystes s\u2019accordent largement sur le fait que le r\u00e9sultat du vote semble jou\u00e9 d\u2019avance, compte tenu de la longue emprise de Museveni sur le pouvoir. Cependant, Byanyima a averti que le risque de violence pourrait \u00eatre le plus pr\u00e9occupant. Elle a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 que de nombreux Ougandais pourraient rester \u00e0 l’\u00e9cart des bureaux de vote par peur et non par apathie, citant les \u00e9lections pass\u00e9es au cours desquelles les forces de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 ont utilis\u00e9 des balles r\u00e9elles contre des manifestants pacifiques.<\/p>\n
Bobi Wine a cherch\u00e9 \u00e0 pr\u00e9senter l\u2019\u00e9lection comme un vote de protestation, faisant du drapeau national ougandais un symbole de r\u00e9sistance. Les autorit\u00e9s ont r\u00e9agi en mettant en garde contre ce qu\u2019elles appellent l\u2019utilisation \u00ab occasionnelle et inappropri\u00e9e \u00bb du drapeau. Selon le Haut-Commissariat des Nations Unies aux droits de l\u2019homme et d\u2019autres observateurs, les partisans de Wine ont \u00e9t\u00e9 fr\u00e9quemment victimes d\u2019intimidations et de harc\u00e8lement de la part des forces de s\u00e9curit\u00e9 tout au long de la campagne.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
