Massive Anti-Corruption Protests Rock Uganda. 

Last week, several large-scale protests occurred in the Ugandan capital, Kampala. According to a report in Reuters, at least 73 people were arrested in the protests. The demonstrations in Kenya last month inspired these protests about proposed tax increases. According to a report in Al Jazeera, Several members of parliament are facing corruption charges, as is the speaker of the parliament, Anita Among. In a country with a population of 45 million, 15 million are under 35, and they are frustrated with widespread corruption. It is unclear what will happen next, but it is clear that the young people of Uganda are fed up with rampant corruption.
