Africa will never heal from these old men and young men who serve them.

>The 81-year-old was sworn in Tuesday for a seventh consecutive term to extend his presidency over a further five years that may well be his last — although not necessarily for the Museveni family. >Army chief Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba, the president’s son and presumptive heir, oversaw dayslong rehearsals of the military parade that animated the inauguration of Museveni, with Russian-made Sukhoi fighter jets flying noisily over official ceremonial grounds in Kampala, the Ugandan capital. It's really nice to see an adult take care of their geriatric parent. >The president urged Ugandans to work hard and build wealth for their families, I'm sure he used his son as an example of the hard work it takes.

I love that Uganda is taking after the US. We really are a beacon for the world, aren't we?

I fail to see how a ruling party that remains in power qualifies as a "major shift". I'd like to know how the thesis of your opinion "growing global curiosity" is formed.
