Podcast appearances and mentions of bobi wine

Reporters Sans Frontières a publié ce vendredi son classement annuel sur la liberté de la presse dans le monde et en Afrique. La dégradation des conditions des journalistes dans les pays en guerre a été pointée comme au Soudan, en RDC, au Mali ou encore au Burkina Faso. RSF note également une dépendance économique de plus en plus accrue des médias aux gouvernements et aux annonceurs affaiblissant ainsi leur neutralité. C'est le cas selon l'ONG au Cameroun, au Togo ou encore au Sénégal.

Victoria Uwonkunda, reporter and presenter for BBC News, speaks to Bobi Wine, the Ugandan opposition politician, as he reflects on the personal and political challenges he has faced as well as his determination to run again as President in the next election. Born in the slums of Kampala, Bobi Wine -birth name Robert Kyagulanyi - first entered the political arena in 2017 when he was elected to parliament with huge popular support, so much so that he became known as the ghetto president. He went on to run against President Yoweri Museveni in the 2021 election - taking on a leader in power for nearly 40 years.But the campaign was rocked by violence and for Bobi, countless times in jail.Now Bobi Wine is preparing to run again in the 2026 presidential election.

Bobi Wine says to be an opposition politician in Uganda is to be labelled and treated as a terrorist. He's been beaten, teargassed, arrested and shot at. So why does he want he want to be a presidential candidate in elections scheduled to take place in 2026? He was in London recently and came to our studio to talk to Africa Daily's Victoria Uwonkunda about why he wants to change Uganda, corruption and his online spat with the chief of the country's armed forces. We also hear from Ugandan government spokesperson Ofwono Opondo.

I meet Bobi Wine as he visits London. He's seeking support for his campaign to rid Uganda of what he calls the ‘ brutal rulership' of President Yoweri Museveni who will have led the country for 40 years in 2026. That's when Uganda is scheduled to hold its next presidential election. Will Bobi run again? ‘Here I am,' he says, ‘Not that I'm the Alpha and Omega, not that I'm the ultimate. But I've said I'm available if I'm required to lead …' We look back at what happened at the last general election in 2021 which Bobi and his supporters say they won. ‘We defeated them, but the entire world watched as many of our campaign team was massacred….' I ask him how does he keep going after all the beatings, the torture, the house arrest? He replies: ‘I'm in a better state than so many of my comrades in the struggle. They get locked up, they get beaten and nobody knows. When I get arrested the whole world knows….So I keep going by looking behind me. I get the least of the oppression and the most of the attention. But my friends that suffer in the dark are not complaining. They keep going” What about your wife and 4 kids? Bobi says the whole family has agreed that although their activism is dangerous, it would be even more dangerous to give up. What did the recent by-election in Kawempe North, which Bobi's NUP won, tell him about how the general election is likely to be fought? There was well-publicised violence and claims of rigging.2026 will be a protest vote, Bobi says: ‘We know that we will win the vote. But I'm not sure if we will win the count.' Bobi reveals that he's in talks with Dr Kizza Besigye's Forum for Democratic Change about the possibility of collaborating as well as with other political parties. Dr Besigye's continued imprisonment, Bobi says, ‘is meant to intimidate all of us'. I suggest to Bobi that his popular support could be limited to his own tribe, the Baganda. The majority, if not all, of the Buganda constituencies vote for Bobi. He disagrees ‘ we won in the far west and in parts of the north…my wife comes from Museveni's tribe…my colleagues come from tribes scattered all over Uganda.' Looking ahead to next year's election, I ask Bobi what's in his manifesto? What are the issues he's running on? ‘Corruption is the cancer that's eating us' he replies. We touch on one of the most controversial issues in Uganda today: human rights particularly as experienced by the LGBQT+ community. A much younger Bobi Wine as a musician had been associated with homophobic lyrics. Today, he has a more nuanced approach to the matter: ‘The west should stop looking at the LGBT rights as the only human rights, otherwise they will provoke Africans and people of the world to start imagining that there's a hidden agenda. People get killed every day in Uganda and they should all have rights.” We end our chat on a rather optimistic note. “The future doesn't have to hold anything for me as an individual. I look at this as all of us. The future is robust. The future is hopeful.' #uganda#HEBobiWine#democracy#corruption#humanrights#africa Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

À Kampala, c'est ce 13 janvier 2025 que doit reprendre le procès de l'opposant Kizza Besigye qui, selon son épouse, a été kidnappé il y a deux mois au Kenya, avant d'être transféré de force en Ouganda. Pourquoi le président Yoweri Museveni fait-il poursuivre son opposant historique par un tribunal militaire ? Est-ce parce qu'il en a peur, un an avant la présidentielle de février 2026 ? Florence Brisset-Foucault est maîtresse de conférence en sciences politiques à l'université Paris I et affiliée à l'université de Makerere, à Kampala. Elle répond aux questions de Christophe Boisbouvier. RFI : Depuis le 20 novembre, l'opposant Kizza Besigye comparaît devant la justice militaire ougandaise pour « possession illégale d'armes à feu dans le but de déstabiliser la sécurité nationale ». Est-ce que ce chef d'accusation est crédible ?  Florence Brisset-Foucault : Alors, ce n'est pas la première fois que Kizza Besigye a été accusé de collusion avec des rebelles armés pour renverser le gouvernement. Ça avait déjà été le cas en amont de l'élection présidentielle de 2006. À l'époque, les accusations n'avaient absolument pas tenu et il avait finalement été blanchi. Pour cette fois, on ne sait pas encore, mais en tout cas, ça fait partie de ces formes classiques de décrédibilisation de l'opposition, qui sont utilisées par le régime.Alors ce qui frappe tout de même, c'est que Kizza Besigye, qui est médecin, qui est civil, comparaît devant un tribunal militaire ?Oui, tout à fait, et ça, ça fait partie des nouveautés, je dirais, des quatre ou cinq dernières années en Ouganda. Et ça continue, même s'il y a quelques années, en 2022, il y avait eu une décision de la Cour constitutionnelle qui disait que c'était illégal de poursuivre des civils en Cour martiale. Mais ça se poursuit et il n'est pas le seul à être dans ce cas. Il y a quelques jours, son avocat, Eron Kiiza, qui est lui aussi un civil, a été condamné à neuf mois d'emprisonnement pour outrage à la Cour par une Cour militaire également, en quelques heures et visiblement en toute irrégularité.Donc, ça ressemble à du harcèlement judiciaire ? Kizza Besigye disait lui-même, il y a quelques années, qu'il avait été arrêté des dizaines de fois et qu'il avait arrêté de compter. Donc oui, je pense que ce qualificatif est tout à fait idoine.L'épouse de Kizza Besigye, Winnie Byanyima, qui dirige le programme Onusida pour le monde entier, affirme que son mari a été kidnappé en novembre à Nairobi, puis transféré de force à Kampala. Ce n'est quand même pas très courant. Comment se fait-il que le Kenya ait laissé faire cela ?Oui, Winnie Byanyima a parlé de « paradis des kidnappeurs » pour parler de la capitale du Kenya, Nairobi. Donc, c'est évidemment une formule très forte. Là encore, Kizza Besigye n'est pas le seul opposant étranger à avoir été arrêté récemment dans la capitale du Kenya. Il y a eu aussi des opposants turcs, sud-soudanais, rwandais, nigérians qui ont fait les frais de cette pratique. Concernant les Ougandais, ce n'est pas le seul non plus. En juillet dernier, il y a une trentaine d'opposants ougandais qui s'étaient rassemblés du côté de la ville de Kisumu, dans l'ouest du Kenya, qui ont été aussi arrêtés violemment, puis mis dans des camionnettes et transportés de l'autre côté de la frontière pour être ensuite emprisonnés en Ouganda, donc ça faisait longtemps que ce n'était pas arrivé.Dans les années 1980-1990, le docteur Kizza Besigye était le médecin personnel de Yoweri Museveni. Mais, depuis 25 ans, il est son principal opposant. Il a aujourd'hui 68 ans, soit 12 ans de moins que le chef de l'État ougandais. Est-ce que Yoweri Museveni en a encore peur ? C'est difficile à dire. Cette arrestation a surpris beaucoup de monde, parce que Besigye n'était plus tellement sur le devant de la scène politique, c'était une autre figure de l'opposition, Bobi Wine, qui avait pris la suite, notamment lors de l'élection présidentielle de 2021, la dernière élection présidentielle, et Besigye était plutôt en retrait. Donc, on a été un peu surpris de cette arrestation. Moi, la manière dont j'interprète les choses, c'est que c'est une démonstration de force et une manière pour Museveni de montrer que c'est toujours lui qui tient les règles du jeu.À la présidentielle de l'an prochain, tout laisse penser que Yoweri Museveni, qui est aujourd'hui âgé de 80 ans, va se représenter pour un septième mandat. Quelles sont les chances de l'opposition face à lui ? Les chances de l'opposition… Elle est extrêmement fragmentée, éclatée, avec beaucoup de mal à créer des liens et à s'accorder pour une candidature unique. En 2021, Besigye ne s'était pas présenté, ce qui avait permis à Bobi Wine, entre autres, d'avoir un score tout à fait correct de 35 %. En tout cas, un score qui correspondait au score de Besigye à l'élection de 2016. Donc on ne sait jamais. Mais étant donné le passé récent, je ne suis pas très optimiste pour l'opposition.Depuis trois ans, l'un des fils de Yoweri Museveni, le général Muhoozi Kainerugaba, qui est chef d'état-major de l'armée ougandaise, aspire ouvertement à succéder à son père. Mais en septembre dernier, il a promis qu'il soutiendrait son père une dernière fois pour la présidentielle de 2026. Est-ce que ce fils impétueux n'est pas en train d'affaiblir le camp du président ? Ce qu'il faut voir, c'est qu'il y a aussi un autre joueur dans cette arène autour de la question de la succession. C'est le gendre en fait, qui s'appelle Odrek Rwabwogo, qui est marié à la deuxième fille du président, la pasteure Patience Museveni Rwabwogo, et qui a été au départ assez critique de Museveni, puis qui s'est rapproché de lui. Et il y a quelques mois, il y a eu une violente dispute entre Muhoozi, donc le fils, et Rwabwogo, le gendre, sur les réseaux sociaux. Et beaucoup d'Ougandais interprètent cela comme étant une dispute par rapport à la question de la succession.

Une version vivement rejetée par les forces de l'ordre qui affirment qu'il s'est blessé en "trébuchant". Que s'est-il réellement passé ? Pourquoi Bobi Wine est-il autant réprimé ?  Avec Florence Brisset-Foucault, maîtresse de conférence à l'université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne.

Moses Bwayo is a filmmaker from Uganda. His documentary feature Bobi Wine: The People's President has been nominated for a 2024 Academy Award. But first, a little on his subject, Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, otherwise known as Bobi Wine. Popstar turned politician, he's the current leader of the National Unity Platform, and ran against President Yoweri Museveni in the 2021 presidential elections. Bobi Wine has been imprisoned and intimidated countless times for challenging a man who has been in power in Uganda since 1986.Documentary filmmaker Moses Bwayo spent five years following Bobi Wine and documenting his activism. Moses was arrested, imprisoned, and shot in the face with rubber bullets by police while filming. I spoke to Moses Bwayo about Bobi Wine and why he means so much to young people in Uganda. But we also talked about Moses' own path and what he's sacrificed to bring Bobi Wine's story to the silver screen. This is an episode about the importance of telling stories and how imagining a different narrative can get you in trouble with the status quo. Hosted on Acast.

Listen. 

In this bonus episode of The Cinematography Podcast, we interview Moses Bwayo and Christopher Sharp, who collaborated as directors on Bobi Wine: The People's President. The film is nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. Co-director and producer Christopher Sharp grew up in Uganda and was a fan of Bobi Wine's music. He met Bobi and his wife Barbie in London. Christoper says, “When I met him, he'd just run to be an independent member of parliament and he was sort of transitioning from being solely a musician into an activist and a politician. When he told me what he was about to sacrifice, it seemed pretty obvious that we needed to stick with him and see where it went.” Bobi Wine (Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu) had grown up in the slums of Kampala, Uganda and through his musical talent, had risen to become an extremely popular and famous Afrobeat musician. Bobi's music often communicates a socially conscious message aimed at political change. He put himself through university, where he met his wife Barbie. Political activism was extremely important to him, so Bobi successfully ran as an independent candidate for Uganda's parliament. He then decided to run for president against the dictator Yoweri Museveni, who has been in power for 38 years. Christopher brought the idea of making the documentary to Moses Bwayo, a Ugandan journalist and filmmaker. Moses followed Bobi with cameras for five years, sometimes with a small crew, using a monopod and available light. Moses used the Sony FS7 and the smaller Sony Alpha a7 III. He often had to just run and gun, serving as both cameraman and director, documenting the tense and frequently dangerous situations Bobi, his family and Moses himself encountered. “We wanted to tell a story of this young, talented musician who comes out of the ghetto to inspire the nation, and he rises into politics and the coalitions he was building in parliament and the bills he was trying to bring. But, as we kept filming, it was very dangerous for him and there was a few attempted assassinations on him. More and more we realized the camera was actually a protection to him... So we just kept on going and going.” Uganda has been under the control of Yoweri Museveni since 1986. Museveni uses the might of the military police and his political operatives in Parliament to stay in power. When Bobi announced he was going to run for president against Museveni, the military police stepped up their aggressive attacks on him, his family and his campaign workers. “We knew that the closer we stuck with him and his wife and people close to him, it would bring some level of protection, and indeed, even the days I spent under house arrest with Bobby and Barbie, what worried us was that the military and police would break into the house at any moment. But I think what stopped them is when they knew that there was a cameraman in that house- it probably stopped them from breaking into the house.” Moses and the crew risked their lives to make the film. “I was arrested a few times. I was locked up in jail. I was interrogated, and I was shot in the face close to the election.” Fortunately, Moses recovered from his gunshot wound and the documentary continued. The political situation in Uganda had become very violent, so before they released the film, Moses and his family decided to flee and are seeking asylum in the United States. Though Museveni won election again through terrifying attacks and imprisonment of Bobi and his supporters, Bobi still goes back to Uganda and continues to risk his life to speak out against the government. “This story is still happening today.

It's one thing to be a socially conscious pop musician; it's an entirely different matter when that musician attempts to parlay his popularity in the music world into the political arena. For Afrobeat star Bobi Wine — whose personal and political journey is the centerpiece of the remarkable new documentary “Bobi Wine: The People's President” — the stakes couldn't be higher. His home country of Uganda faces daunting economic challenges and experiences rampant political corruption. When Bobi becomes a candidate in the 2021 presidential election, his campaign catches fire with tens of thousands of Ugandans, In response, the country's longtime strongman, President Yoweri Museveni, perceives a serious threat to his hold on power and will stop at nothing to prevent Bobi from winning the election.   Joining Ken on the podcast, directors Moses Bwayo and Christopher Sharp chart the remarkable rise of Bobi Wine and the frightening acts of violence perpetrated by the ruling government against Bobi, his team and their supporters. How did Bobi Wine first come to the attention of the two directors and what brought them together to begin documenting this campaign? With so many graphic scenes of violence captured on film, how did they choose which scenes would be the most impactful? And, in the course of getting to know Bobi and his wife Barbie, how did the couple's enduring love for each other become a central part of the story and a source of strength that not even the government of Uganda could touch.    Released by National Geographic Documentary Films, “Bobi Wine: The People's President” opens theatrically July 28.   Hidden Gem: Coach Zoran and His African Tigers   Follow: @natgeodocs on Instagram and twitter @topdocspod on Instagram and twitter   The Presenting Sponsor of "Top Docs" is Netflix.
