More than three-quarters of Ugandans have no living memory of a country led by anyone other than Yoweri Kaguta Museveni. Born after 1986, they have grown up with his voice as a constant presence on the radio, his image looming over billboards, and his political philosophy—part paternal lecture, part military command—woven into the rhythms of daily life.
Museveni came to power promising a decisive break from chaos and misrule, and for decades, he has framed his longevity as proof of success. Stability, development, and security are the words his government repeats most often. Yet beneath this narrative lies a quieter, more consequential transformation: the steady hollowing out of Uganda’s institutions and the tightening of a political system increasingly dependent on foreign capital, particularly from China, to sustain itself.
