About this listen
Musisi explains how Uganda's predominantly young and urban population, dubbed the "restless generation," has become a focal point for political activism, especially since the rise of social media. This demographic shift has highlighted issues like unemployment, inequality, and the disconnect between the youth and those in power, leading to significant human rights challenges, including privacy issues due to state surveillance and the basic rights to sustenance in urban ghettos.
Looking towards the 2025 election year, Musisi paints a sobering picture of potential increases in human rights violations, drawing from past electoral violence. He emphasizes the critical issue of the rule of law, or its lack, in Uganda, which he sees as the central problem affecting all areas of rights advocacy.
The conversation delves into how the legal community and broader society can push back against impunity, the need for documentation and legal challenges against rights abuses, and the public's role in demanding accountability. Despite growing awareness through platforms like social media, Musisi notes a significant gap in translating this awareness into active civic engagement, highlighting the need for more concerted efforts in collective action to truly effect change.
