Скачать или смотреть Museveni's Lies Exposed: When Al Jazeera Pressed Him, His Script Fell Apart.

A few days ago, we revisited a tense interview in which President Yoweri Museveni faced Channel 4 News journalist Lindsey Hilsum five years ago. In that exchange, Hilsum refused to let Museveni get away with explosive but unproven claims that Bobi Wine was being funded by foreign governments. Pressed for evidence, Museveni was left exposed, unable to substantiate the allegations he confidently put forward.

Tonight, ladies and gentlemen, we turn to yet another revealing interview—this time from 2017—where Al Jazeera’s Mohammed Vall cornered Museveni with a single, piercing question: does he truly believe he is the only person capable of leading Uganda? As the nation marches toward the 2026 elections, with Museveni once again in the race, the weight of that question has never been heavier.

In his response, Museveni slipped into a familiar pattern—lengthy and unsolicited lectures, evasive deflections, and a carefully crafted narrative portraying himself as a reluctant ruler forced to stay in power. Yet his decades-long grip on leadership has been anything but accidental; it has been meticulously designed. What follows is my commentary on this interview, along with the interview itself.
