Yoweri Museveni: A five time-elected dictator? | Talk to Al Jazeera

- He’s ruled Uganda for 31 years.
With five presidential terms in office, Yoweri Museveni is surrounded by controversies related to freedom of speech, human rights, allegations of nepotism, and even the killing of Ugandan citizens.
But President Museveni claims Uganda is the most democratic country in the world and that he is leading his people out of poverty and to an even better future.
At 72, though, he’s three years away from the constitutional age limit to serve as President. But there is already speculation he will try to change that limit so he can get around it.
We'll discuss all of this in an exclusive interview as he visited the State of Qatar.
Yoweri Museveni, President of Uganda, Talks to Al Jazeera.
Al Jazeera
Human Rights Watch, in its latest report, criticised Uganda's government's dealings in terms of human rights. Suppression of free speech, putting dissidents in jail … we have the case of Stella Nyanzi who is still in jail just because she expressed herself. We also have the opposition leader who has been in jail several times. We have the government cracking down on opponents and preventing people from rallying freely. By law, more than five people should have the consent and agreement of the police before they can express themselves in the street.

He remained calm amidst the impatience of a disagreeable journalist.
Exactly
U can't evade from the title of DICTATORSHIP when the entire ELECTORAL COMMISSION COMMITTEE is APPOINTED by You the President. If you know you Know.
God have mercy on Our Mother Land Uganda.
That's the first poison he gave to Ugandans, he leaves them to talk the nonsense they can as long as you don't touch his seat 😂
You’re a joke, he’s the worst president in Uganda history and most dictator and corrupt, he can’t even speak English properly and in your country you have no human rights and free speech. He should resign from the office because he’s useless and he hasn’t done anything to help the citizens to come out of poverty . He wants to rule the country forever. He had killed his opposition’s allies and some he sentenced them to prison. He’s a monster and evil.
"you have said we are poor but in our poverty we have been able to defeat the colonialists"😂😂😂😂😂
The colonialists decided to rule from without the continent. Who do you think is the leader of the commonwealth countries 😂😂😂
@Naccc Nelson l know very little, correct me but first answer my question. Keep it straight and simple and may be we could benefit in this interaction, am always ready to learn something new.
Being poor does not mean you can't have right over your assets.poverty should not be ayardstic for mistreating African.
as if you rejoice rolling in poverty
You were given you didn't fight for it like other countries.
From Kenya and I respect and admire this man a lot. without his leadership Uganda could probably be in civil war and the security of Kenya would be so much compromised. Live long museveni
I agree with you bro
How can you affirm these lies of a military dictator who has been in power for no less than thirty years, who violates the UN Declaration of Human Rights, -as evidenced by supporting and signing a cruel, criminal and anti-Christian law against peaceful LGTBI people from Uganda, which will punish people with the death penalty and twenty years in prison for being members of an organization that fights for the Human Rights of LGTBI people?
HOW CAN YOU BE SUCH A CRUEL PERSON WHO SUPPORTS A DICTATOR WHO SUPPORTS ANTIHUMAN, UNDEMOCRATIC AND MURDEROUS LAWS?
YOU HAVE NO DIGNITY OR SHAME SUPPORTING THIS CRUEL DICTATOR.
LONG LIVE BOBY WINE THE REAL PRESIDENT OF UGANDA!
Weyagaliza mbwaaa gwe
Ur lying ur from Uganda and you support museveni we know how museveni operates!! Museveni Pay some people to write stupid
Lies , your from Uganda and you support the murderer museveni
At the end"thank you young man"
Museveni really knows the leadership game
Leadership is not a game but a service to mankind
I'm South African. Museveni comes across as a leader who knows what he is doing

Am Ugandan I really like my president museven long live museven long live uganda you answered in good way
I just love this man as old fashion as they come, He tell it like it is, no finesse whatsoever. I have met men like him in my grandfather and uncles. No mincing of their words, if you don't like it, lump it.
it is a criminal like the parlament of uganda . FREEDOM FOR THE UGANDAN PEOPLE LGTBI! KILLERS!
These men, Yoweri Museveni have salvaged our IDENTITY, DIGNITY, VALUE WORTH AND FUTURE. I am not Ugandan, I am 🇿🇲 Zambian.
The best Uganda President ever. Very calm and thoughtful.
This man is an African treasure who must be protected at all costs from European filth! Africa, Lesotho.🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🌹❤🇱🇸🇱🇸🇱🇸💯👍🏿
Completely in agreement. Thank you.
I thank you for the conversation that would open the eyes of many Ugandans
5 terms African democracy
Right now, Museveni is the greatest leader in the world
Much love from Rwanda 🇷🇼 Live long Museveni ❤
“If your mathematics is working well, then it should help you” 😂😂😂😂

Loool
Funny 😂😂😂😂
😆😂🤣
lmao
What a harsh description. President Museveni has done well for Uganda. Hail President Museveni.
He is able to answer all questions correctly
"It is the what that determines the who" anyone who attends this interview should be awarded Bs degree in politics, this african leader is a world prof.
"It is the what that determines the Who". Brilliant!
i am from Somalia i like Museveni the way he answers questions its simple with no more unecessary explanations ,what he is, dictator or good leader i dont wana talk abt it. its for Ugandan pepo
leeb1 adam seems like you forgot syiad berrah
thank you brother ...as Africa we should be proud of president musevine
Museveni the better
@Omoding Samuel yes you are right
Yes , he does. And the truth is he doesn't deny. He murdered people in Western Uganda
I may not like Museveni but this journalist made me like him. Asking questions that are not well researched and which seem not to solve any particular issue. For you to question Museveni, have your facts right. I agree with Museveni, have your balance in reporting.
Museven ever on point
Whatever the guy stands for, he knows how to dodge questions.
He doens't. We can clearly tell that he's lying just.
@@telismane745 you with Senegalese name knows what museveni has done for us in uganda... I love when ppl speak from a country where war never was 😂 but keep it on big boy
Hahahaha 😂😂😂😂😂
Wtf u on about? He is an absolute godly chad 😎
My family has been saying that for years brother lol.
It is why they all left for England and I was born in London.
A man of wisdom
If you are still watching this in 2021, it's now 6 times "elected" mate.
I saw that ,I’m done ‼️‼️
Follow our constitution of Uganda,This dude is a self serving CLOWN ‼️‼️‼️ The Ugandans don’t have a choice .
Woo wee our country is bleeding
The man is a liar.
He pretends he did not hear the question and he lies.
No one voted for him the times he stole votes
True
This interviewer is really harsh but I like the way Museveni answers hard qns calmly with simple answers like a real legend in the game.
Ugandans like soft speakers. Arabs are like that. They are direct and specific so he ain't rough, he's just following the questionnaire
By ignoring important questions.
You're right dear he was biased.
@@nakisaaboteddy1891 ah like when he was asked about AL Jazeera, 🐻
Very Good question by his excellency Yoweri Kaguta. So because we're poor we should never fight for our rights or help our neighbors fight for their rights.
President Yoweri Museveni is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I have liked the way, HE has answered the questions,: HE continue to lecturing them
Mr president is the most focused and strong leader that uganda has had... Long live mzee ❤❤🇺🇬👈
I thank so much for my president Yoweri Museveni for good speech
Glad to learn that Yuweri Museveni is such an admired president, trust the Ugandans are happy with this.
Use that a little bit to improve your understanding this leader is intelligent
M7 lectured the interviewer when he told him to chech his knowledge abt international law 💯😄😄
Use that a little bit to improve your knowledge 😂😂
He is special
Yeah, he can be a good and funny bully sometimes 😂
@@tumwebazemuhammad2290 he is not God
The interviewer was humble and just let it slide because he was just trying to cover up his questions but professionally the guy resumed the point.thanks to Mohammad Vall👏👏
President Museveni always have something to say no matter how hard a question it might be....
Uganda have a brilliant leader with very sharp bright minded!!
What a great conversation!!
just imagine if u're saying this unironically 😂😂
I have also loved the interview and mzee is really active and has got potential to answer everything,Thanks for uniting Ugandans mzee we will keep you remembered ever and ever.
A rare truth from you here no one outside Uganda get to hear.or ever heard. See many in West Africa are being bombed out of this World bcos of apparent lack leadership response.
I am Kenyan. I was six years old when General Museveni became president. Now I am 40. That should give you a rough idea...
Watching fron USA. What different does it make? You are a Kenyan and Kenya is still ruled more worse than this. Kenya is ruled by one family since independent either economicly or ruling. You may not be on the wall as a ruler but if you control the land and economic then you are the ruler. I think Uganda is more better than your country. May be you are a Kenyan but you have not gone to Uganda where young people doing great business while your country
since then who was rich is richer and who was poor is poorest. If your family is not known, you can't get a simple thing like a job. Internaly many Ugandan who ran before this man has gone back home while Kenyans are dying and keep on running from home beacuse if this.
@@esthernzisa6284 well; you are entitled to your opinion; however; your anger and frustration is misdirected. Deal with it without sounding like a troll.
@@esthernzisa6284 the problem of one African country is the problem of all African countries. So, if Faraj present his point on a subject matter that has to do with Museveni, what does your comments has to do with the subject matter? Is Kenya the topic of discussion here or 🇺🇬? This is shared stupidity of you to start bringing up something that has nothing to do with the fact Mr Faraj presented. "He was six years old and now he is forty years old" the difference between tell you how long Museveni had been in power which is a fact not fallacy. Stop venting your outrageous emotions on subject that has nothing to do with Kenya. Wait for another day when the topic is about Kenya then present your ragged opinion then.
Faraj your point is noted brother... The difference between forty and six tells us how long.
So what? The silly people of Libyan started talking like this on Mohammed Gaddafi, now what is happening to them?
Well the queen of England has ruled the country for 68 years. So i guess he is only following in the footsteps of former colonialists
True
Very true
Yah true
There is a difference between RULING and LEADING. Queens and Kings rule. Presidents lead.
@@safiesekgwa1933 My opinion on this as an African American, take a look at how long it takes for Americans can get things done. With our "many leader"...why do you think Trump wanted to have a third term.
"20:28" "My party has been winning!"😂😂😂😂😂🤝
“They have a problem”😭😭💀
Is there anybody in this world who ruled without strong criticism They attained distinctions that have to be recognised
Yaes sir. We need a Federal Republic of East Africa(Kenya, Burundi, Rwanda, South Sudan Uganda, Tanzania & Zanzibar). Even if it will take time. But will be the biggest millitary and economy in Africa.
Shaaban Mahero I don't think whites will allowed that.
You should be putting that energy to making the AU work.
We should never leave somalia behind
That is a good idea but western countries never wanted Africans to unite,that's why they killed Gaddafi of libya coz his intation was to unite Africa
@@rumanzimedard3421 As a westerner, we didn't kill Gaddafi. His own people did. We supported them in their efforts with air strikes because Gaddafi had been supplying terrorists both in the west and elsewhere for decades. The terrorist groups he supported had no ideological similarities, he was simply trying to cause as much chaos as possible. Furthermore, he only turned to Pan-Africanism (which he interpreted as the murderous example of Idi Amin) when he was overlooked by his Baathist and Pan-Arabist dictator friends. Do you think that someone who called Condezzla Rice (an American) an "African princess" really identifies with African unity?
I have nothing against Pan-Africanism and I applaud organisations like the AU and the East African Community. Trust me when I say that there are many Europeans, even European politicians, who recognise the evils of colonialism and wish Africa and Africans the best.
Why don’t you interview the President of France. Ask him why France is in Africa and still colonizing.
So you're telling that to this day, the Francophone countries still cannot free themselves from one country?
You're right. That's interview with other objective and tendencies.
France withot Africa resources will be fourth world non eve Third word Adrican feed them pround African 254 LONDON LOCKED
@Be the Change Are we listen same thing lazy france you wont to bleed Africa n yet calling us poor love my Ancestors Mau Mau we are very free

"We have over 250 private radios that says whatever they want" 😅
🤣🤣🤣💯💯
"Use that a little bit to improve your understanding" Said my role model MUSEVENI ❤ 😍
Museveni youth supporter here 🖐️ will continue to support Him he has done nothing wrong
Why are you supporting him? He's old and have no energy.
THIS is the best interview on Aljazera
Museveni is really intelligent and eloquent speaker
Are you kidding me??🙌🏾😂😂😂 Please tell me this is a sarcasme??😂😂😂
Ugandanz always stand with fellow Africans in every situation because we are Africans and it's we to solve the challenges of Africa no one else
This man literally fought for power .He expects the same from his opponents. It's the world he knows.
Thank Jesus was
You need alot of reeducation
We Ugadans are still in love for Musevenis leadership, so how does it hurt you from you so called democratic country yet Wazungus deside for you??
He is our Great leader in Africa why I'm saying because U S A is not a good model democratic that we are suppose to flow.
Hassan Hassan , " TOTALLY AGREE " !
When he said " Uganda is the most democratic country "...
.
Gotta admit he’s great most of the time
Constitution made in ancient times must be revised in modern time.
WOW UGANDA HAS A WONDERFUL LEADER....so lucky!!!!
no way. ... pliz help us and take him. 😂😂😂😂
Much respect your Excellence, you didn't have to deal with this ignorance, but you, as a gentleman, you remained calm and educated this young man...
One thing i admire about this man is that he has given us peace as ugandans and he's full of history God bless you mr President i salute you
We Ugandans we love our President you people you just west you time of asking many questions about Uganda.

This guy knows Museveni i wish he interviews him one more time.
Its not about knowing its about who is the best
A prayer
He know that president museven is a dictator
Not really. I just pray for peace bcoz this man might be in peace country
@@firdaussheikh4817 Museveni has turned us into beggars in our own country. The economy is grounded. Health system is at it’s worst point, education system is totally dead. Infrastructure is the poorest in east Africa. He’s corrupt and all his people around him. He uses police and the army to attack and subdue anyone who dares him. We need help especially from you the international media mostly at this election time because we’re left with nothing but only being killed on the streets like cockroaches. Please help us and expose him the more. Thank you sir
we need freedom from uganda am watching from Nairobi Kenya 🇰🇪
The interviewed is more intelligent than the interviewer.Long Live M7
I am not from uganda but the so known Dictator Museveni need to Go and must go!
Mind your own country and leave Uganda alone. Most Ugandans are not complaining. So who are you?

Mr musevini is the best according to today's situation
This president is extraordinary
Time will tell cos if big countries like South Africa today don't have enough power yet ug has enough
Leadership is not music,people strategies
God bless President museveni and the good people of Uganda 🇺🇬
Museveni's too confident when it comes to answering questions
U can't see he want to faint
Which kind of confidence does he have???
This dynasties should go! Where are the real Ugandans?
@@aishakirya6701 He can't and he will never
Always
I like the composure in the man Museveni despite disagreeing with his sentiments. the media guy is bold asking many questions yet very poor listening skills. Al jazeera you could have done better with such a golden opportunity
Media guy is judjing him for the wrong stuff that's happening in "his" country, and he's not taking any actions against such things. Therefore is answers are quite meaningless.
Guys, I just can't stop watching this interview, the guy is so intelligent. We love you Mr.President.
He is one real revolutionary ❤ 🇺🇬
I would like Africa to be united.
We can't if we have such killers as Museveni he has killed millions of pple.
@@Prince-pb1vf and he still like to kill
@@shonnassanga2839 his a disgrace to our country...I can imagine the millions of pple he has killed..
Let him wait for his day...God is never mocked.
@@Prince-pb1vf Amen
African unity is a dream more than a reality. Boarder to boarder conflicts, no uniform currence, fighting each other ie in Somalia, rooting like in Congoetc
Museveni is a real diplomat, just so logical and direct questions, though a little bit arounding
Murdering people in Western Uganda. I bet you understanding. Follow the interviewer
I love President Museveni at Heart, I ask God to continue guiding him.
I love this man🙌🏾🙌🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
I like the way Museven answers questions , no pressure at all.
"In our poverty we still defend our rights and our brothers in other African Countries" Words on marble
This foreigners decide for us what we should or should not do.I love museveni.confident and informed...."sorry if you support alshabab"😂😂😂😂😂
Ur fake
@@mada658 🤣🤣
this al jazzera interviewer is distasteful in his combative and illegitimate accusations. I was really impressed by the composure intolerance of the president of Uganda. Whether he is a harsh dictator or a just man I'm not sure yet. but he really impressed me by allowing the reporter to continue interrupting him time and time again and not be coming irate upset or harsh in his tone. that was really something to watch.
U nothing about Uganda
Bravo.
Credit to Our President 👏👏👏👏👏
Da president is agood man the only problem is he has remained in power for so long
Exactly. This "interviewer" is just like the biased, confrontational asswipes at CNN. This isn't an interview, it's an interrogation.
rouda shamsi he had to pretend cause you were watching
Yoweri Museveni is a man of the truth and for the truth
lol this is too funny.. this level of intelligence of Ugandan leaders
I honestly like the interviewer boldness. It takes a lot of boldness and courage to do what he did.
👏👏👏👏.
No, it takes arrogance. The interviewer was very disrespectful and I wouldn't be surprised if he was racist
@@bligz yup
Am I mistaken but middle east is not the most democratic place and when it comes to human rights well lol .. and as for freedom of speech and treating women as equals is also (to my not so great knowledge )not the even a thing... all this is just the kettle pointing and telling telling the pot that it is black
Its his job. What do you expect?. He should not be doing the job if he is not bold to speak.. Besides this is not boldness but arrogance. Journalists are always arrogant when they underate a interviewee in power.
Leadership is a relationship between the ruler and the ruled!! The more u mistreat the community, the more the society will hate your leadership!!!
Seeing this after all this years , I love this Uganda President long live Mr Museveni. Uganda call ot a blessing or a cursed but this man has been on power for so long Yes but he sure is serving you the people of Uganda . There are q few of this leaders in African Politics left and he is one of the best once in my opinion in the top 5 best leaders of Africa that wants the best for African overall.and its people
