Human Rights Issues Involving Uganda and Tanzania Prompt Scrutiny - November 2025

The family of Kenyan activist Bob Njagi revealed that Ugandan authorities are demanding he and Nicholas Oyoo cease political activities against President Museveni’s government as a condition for their release after being held for over a month. In a separate issue concerning Uganda, survivors welcomed the International Criminal Court's (ICC) confirmation of 39 war crimes charges against Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) leader Joseph Kony. Meanwhile, a coalition of Kenyan and African civil society organizations demanded that Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu Hassan take responsibility for alleged human rights violations following the October 29 general election. The groups cited widespread killings and disappearances, calling for her resignation.
