Dr. Kizza Besigye, a prominent Ugandan opposition leader, has been detained in Kenya for questioning regarding his alleged involvement in protests and a fire at Uganda House in Nairobi. Besigye has been a long-time critic of Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni and has frequently led protests against his government, particularly over issues like high commodity prices and political succession plans. His recent activities include leading protests against rising inflation in Uganda, which led to his arrest on multiple occasions.
In Nairobi, Kenyan authorities detained Besigye to interrogate him about his alleged connection to ongoing protests in Uganda and a fire incident at Uganda House, a significant location for Ugandan expatriates in Kenya. The details of his involvement remain unclear, but his detention has sparked considerable attention due to his high-profile status and history of political activism.
