What is the problem with many African leaders? They just want to remain in power forever, knowing that their health cannot withstand the rigours of such a position at that age. President Museveni of Uganda has governed his country for 40 years but refuse to back down , instead he wants to run for another term.

Does he have to be elected in a democratic election?

He is forcing their parliament to change the constitutions, now a president cannot be chosen through voting again. That's how bad things have become in Uganda.

Oh hold on
I remember now
Idi Amin
From 1971 until about 1978 he was in charge in Uganda
He was one of the cruelest world leaders since Hitler.
So this is not a new thing for Uganda.
It was worse under Amin , you need to really pray this dude does not become as bad as Amin
