The US govt is very manipulative. They use people for their own purpose. They train Africans in America then send them back to their country to influence the population. Im not saying that's the case with the Pop Star. Just keep your Third Eye open.

Heavy security, arrests as Ugandan pop star set to come homeKAMPALA, Uganda (AP) — Ugandan security forces have deployed heavily before the return of pop star and opposition figure Bobi Wine from the United States. Lawyer Asuman Basalirwa says police have detained the singer's brother and at least two other people who were driving to the airport to welcome him home. Authorities say they will not permit any rallies related to his arrival. Wine, whose real name is Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, is expected to arrive at Entebbe International Airport midday Thursday. He had sought treatment in the U.S. for injuries allegedly sustained during state torture, which Uganda's government denies. What? The Army and the police is beating us seriously here.. Finding you putting on red and you’re a youth walking on streets in Uganda seems to be crime, some beaten some detained...Museveni is the chief in command. This brand of "peace and stability" is not the kind that we want.

A Ugandan opposition leader said that a meeting between Kanye West and the country's president was 'immoral'“It would have been great if he had used his voice for the good of people in Africa. I’m a musician, but I am not allowed to stage a show in my own country because I disagree with the president,' Bobi Wine said. Should have invited Cornell West. why was kanye in uganda? who is presenting him as a leader of our country? he is an unmedicated, rambling, incoherent man. We will all lay awake tonight worring about what Uganda thinks of us
