Durante a celebração eucarística, que ocorreu na sexta-feira, 27 de novembro, o arcebispo Cipriano Kizito Lwanga falou sobre os violentos confrontos entre os apoiadores do adversário Bobi Wine e a polícia na semana de 20 de novembro, que culminaram na morte de cerca de cinquenta pessoas.
O arcebispo Cyprian Kizito Lwanga expressou tristeza depois de relatar as muitas mortes registradas em Uganda por volta de 20 de novembro em confrontos entre manifestantes e agentes da lei.
RECOWACERAO NEWS AGENCY, RECONA reuniu que cerca de dois meses antes da eleição presidencial, as tensões estão aumentando no país da África Oriental. Após a prisão, em 20 de novembro, do famoso cantor e candidato presidencial Bobi Wine, indiciado por “atos passíveis de propagar uma doença infecciosa” e violações das “regras da Covid-19”, vários de seus apoiadores que se manifestaram nas ruas encontrou uma resposta violenta da polícia.
A cantora foi libertada dois dias depois, mas os confrontos deixaram cerca de cinquenta mortos. Bobi Wine – Robert Sentamu Kyagulanyi, seu verdadeiro nome – é o principal adversário desta eleição que enfrenta o presidente Yoweri Museveni, no poder desde 1986.
Em seu discurso de 27 de novembro, o arcebispo de Kampala exortou os ugandenses a se manifestarem sem violência ou tumultos, conforme permitido pelo artigo 29 da Constituição de 1995. “Manifestar-se e protestar sobre assuntos de interesse público é um direito que o indivíduo deve possuir até que seja feito para espalhar a violência ou fazer qualquer coisa ilegal”, disse Dom Lwanga.
Ele também condenou a brutalidade das forças de segurança diante dos manifestantes. A seu ver, isso é desproporcional e vai contra os direitos humanos, que são direitos dados por Deus. “Se uma pessoa cometer um crime, prenda-a e leve-a ao tribunal para uma decisão, em vez de matá-la ou feri-la, o que é injusto, porque a Bíblia diz ‘você não deve matar’”, ele insistiu.
O bispo Lwanga finalmente convidou os ugandenses a manter a paz neste período pré-eleitoral e a continuar a respeitar as medidas preventivas contra a Covid-19. O mesmo conselho também se aplica a todos os outros países africanos, pois a maioria deles está em época de eleições desta vez.

In his eyes, this is disproportionate and goes against human rights which are rights given by God. “If a person commits a crime, arrest him and take him to court for a decision, instead of killing or hurting them, which is unfair, because the Bible says’ you shall not kill, ‘” he urged.
Bishop Lwanga finally invited the Ugandans to maintain peace in this pre-election period and to continue to respect preventive measures against Covid-19. The same advice also goes for all other African countries as most of them are in their election season this time
