Newscast Media NEW YORK, New York -- Uganda opposition leader Kizza Besigye shot two birds with one stone when he came to America last week for treatment of an injury and also took time out to talk to CNN about the events unfolding in Uganda under current president, Yoweri Museveni. Besigye was shot and injured as he demonstrated with supporters against the rising cost of living in Uganda. The demonstrations have been taking place for over a month, and were organized by a group called Activists for Change.
In the interview Besigye said: " You have wide sections of the society that are grossly marginalized, who cannot find employment, who cannot even afford a meal a day, while small sections of the political elite, use national resources opulently on themselves -- corruption is rife, and as a result mounting discontent in most of these countries."
