Highlights
- Uganda's youth population is facing significant economic challenges and few job prospects, but Kampala is unlikely to create economic opportunities for them.
- President Yoweri Museveni has been effective at sidelining challengers to his rule, but he will struggle to halt the rising popularity of Bobi Wine.
- Because Museveni's assertion that he has brought stability to the unstable country is no longer relevant after three decades of rule, he will be forced to shift his message in order to co-opt the emerging youth movement against him.
