Kizza Besigye, Uganda’s opposition leader, is objecting to being tried in a military tribunal as he is a civilian. His recent mysterious detention in Kenya has raised concerns about potential intelligence sharing between the two countries. Besigye’s allies and wife have shared details of how he was lured into a meeting with his abductors, who posed as Kenyan security agents. Despite Kenya denying involvement, Uganda claims otherwise, citing intelligence correspondence. Besigye, a four-time presidential election runner-up, recently formed a new party but has been less active in politics. His disappearance in Nairobi during a visit for a book launch has sparked controversy, with reports suggesting a well-planned operation to arrest him. He is currently facing charges in a military court in Kampala, despite objections from his legal team. The incident has led to questions about security ties between Kenya and Uganda.
