Uganda Mountain Gorillas

I decided to reblog this March 2016 post. Seeing mountain gorillas in the wild is unforgettable and a favorite travel memory!

Uganda is again experiencing violence over opposition to current President Yoweri Museveni, who has maintained power since 1986. I posted about Uganda elections in 2016. Current protests are by supporters of presidential candidate and former pop star Bobi Wine. They clashed with Museveni’s security forces “over Wine’s arrest during the worst unrest in the East African country in a decade”.
