🔴Live: Bobi Wine at the European Parliament in Brussels, At annual Africa Week Conference

Ugandan opposition leader Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, popularly known as Bobi Wine, is addressing the Africa-EU Parliamentary Assembly at the European Parliament in Brussels as part of the annual Africa Week Conference. Speaking via remote connection, Wine continues to press Uganda's case on the international stage. 🎤 What He's Saying Wine is urging the European Union to impose targeted sanctions against Ugandan security officials—particularly Chief of Defence Forces Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba—over alleged human rights abuses. He argues that the EU must stop "legitimising bad governance" and ensure that development partners adhere to democratic principles. His address follows the January 15, 2026 Ugandan general elections, which he and his National Unity Platform (NUP) party have rejected as fraudulent. Wine is calling for: Targeted sanctions (travel bans, asset freezes) against individual officials EU aid to be conditional on democracy and human rights respect An end to what he describes as military repression of opposition figures 🏛️ The EU Response Just two weeks ago, the European Parliament adopted a resolution on Uganda with 514 votes in favour, 3 against, and 56 abstentions. The resolution: Strongly condemns the conduct of the elections, citing "abuses, widespread intimidation, fraud, violence and a nationwide internet blackout" Expresses "deep concern" over threats against Bobi Wine, his family, and associates Calls for the release of all arbitrarily detained opposition figures Urges comprehensive electoral and institutional reforms Calls for independent investigations into alleged crimes against humanity 📢 Why It Matters This is Wine's second major international appearance in recent weeks, following his video address to the Geneva Summit for Human Rights and Democracy. The opposition leader remains under effective house arrest in Uganda, with the military having laid siege to his residence. 🔴 Hashtags text #BobiWine #Uganda #EuropeanParliament #AfricaWeek #AfricaEU #UgandaElections #HumanRights #Democracy #FreeUganda #NUP #Kyagulanyi #Brussels #EUParliament #TargetedSanctions #JusticeForUganda #Museveni #Muhoozi #StandWithUganda #AfricaRising #RuleOfLaw
