1. Museveni declaring himself winner, shouldn’t be a breaking news at all. I noticed all the major news outlets are saying the dictator WON. Did he actually win or he DECLARED himself winner a record 6th time? He has spent 35 years on the saddle already. 
2. By the time he completes another 5 years, he would be 81 & would have spent 40 years in power. Ugandans are faced with another 5 years of uncertainty & wandering about in the bush. And this is 2021, one would think the likes of Abacha, Idi Amin, Mobutu Sese Seko are no more.
3. But it’s an Africa story - strong dictatorships perpetuate themselves in office, with aid from colonialists.
For what it's worth, Bobi Wine is a worthy challenge. Museveni didn’t see that coming. In a continent no single leader condemned Museveni for clamping down opposition

4. shutting down the internet & using the military & the police to hound opposition. Africa is still in the dark ages, it’s a perilous journey she’s embarked upon. The African Union is completely useless. Just a bunch of old men annexing power for themselves, staying on forever.
