Militarism and the Politics of Covid-19 Response in Uganda

Moses Khisa et al.

Summary: In the context of the global response to Covid-19, Uganda witnessed a disproportionately large involvement of the military, encompassing enforcement of law and order, lockdown measures, managing food relief and medical operations, as well as political repression. The article investigates the reasons behind this excessive militarization, examining the hypothesis that it is determined by pre-existing militarism. The findings indicate a direct connection between pre-crisis militarism and Covid-19 responses, contradicting the belief that the exceptional and novel nature of the pandemic led to overly militarized actions. With the framing of the pandemic and institutional changes, pre-pandemic militarism highlighted the role of the military, as Covid-19 provided an opportunity for Uganda's ruling elites to enhance militaristic rule, exert control over the political sphere during elections, and extend military presence in civilian public health domains. This excessive militarization has significant implications for civil-military relations, specifically in terms of command and control, reporting and accountability, and resource management.

Generational populism and the political rise of Robert Kyagulanyi - aka Bobi Wine - in Uganda

Luke Melchiorre

Summary: This article discusses the rise of Bobi Wine in Ugandan politics and argues that he has utilized a new form of generational populism. By framing the struggle between 'the people' and 'the elite' in generational terms, Wine has mobilized the youth against the gerontocratic political order defended by the elite. The article broadens the understanding of populism by highlighting the significance of intergenerational dynamics in shaping the discursive categories of 'the people' and 'the elite'. While Wine's success demonstrates the potential of populism to challenge incumbent regimes and include previously excluded social groups, it is noted that his political project lacks a genuine ideological alternative to the existing neoliberal orthodoxy in Uganda.

Explaining youth political mobilization and its absence: the case of Bobi Wine and Uganda's 2021 election

Anna Macdonald et al.

Summary: This article challenges the dichotomy of youth as dangerous or disengaged in politics, and analyzes the conditions that determine whether youth can become politically salient. The 2021 Ugandan elections defied expectations as Bobi Wine, a self-proclaimed 'youth candidate', captured the opposition vote but failed to create a new youth constituency. This article draws on interviews and fieldwork to analyze the historical methods used by the ruling party to mobilize and fragment youth.
