Uganda’s army chief has disclosed that at least 30 opposition supporters were killed while about 2,000 people were arrested in the aftermath of the country’s tense election period. The announcement comes amid heightened political uncertainty, following disputed results and widespread protests by supporters of opposition figures, including pop-star-turned-politician Bobi Wine.

According to military authorities, the deaths occurred during clashes between security forces and protesters accused of engaging in violent demonstrations and acts of unrest across several parts of the country. The army said the arrests were carried out to restore order, claiming that security agencies were responding to threats against public safety and national stability during the volatile post-election period.

Opposition groups and human rights advocates, however, have raised serious concerns over the reported figures, calling for independent investigations into the killings and detentions. As Bobi Wine remains under heavy security watch, calls are growing—both locally and internationally—for restraint, accountability, and dialogue to prevent further escalation and ensure respect for democratic rights in Uganda.
