Tension and violence grows in Uganda

Summary
In Uganda the president has been ruling over twenty-five years. During his reign the oppostition was growing gradually, and the tension continues to grow. The rise of austerity has not contributed to the decrease of tension. The inhabitants are becoming restless, and the opposition is also becoming stronger. The violence and tension have wrought to their highest when the oppostion leader was arrested. The arrest was likely to penalize the opposing party. The aftermath of the arrest was the rise of protests in the capital of Uganda. Many people were protesting, and when the police arrived the violence started. Many innocent people were among the victims.

Opinion
I have heard of the violence in Africa, and sometimes the situation seems surreal to me. Perhaps because the violence occurs faw away, and I do not have a connection with it. However I strongly dislike any form of violence, especially when innocent people are involved. Therefore I strongly dissaprove of the situation in Uganda. I think that the president sent the police force to stop the protests. They should not have used violence. The president should have considered the violence as a severe sign to change his way of ruling. I hope that the situation will become better, however I also realize that this prediction is a bit naive.
