“The youth, please stay away from electoral violence.”

This is a message from a man of a tribe called Abasamya, in Eastern Uganda. His voice is clear. Whatever the results of the elections, do not take your youthfulness to incite violence.

It is not news anymore that President Museveni won a disputed election to prolong his stay to 30 years as president. But it is also said that many people did not go to vote, thus, squandering the opportunity to make their choice of leadership. Ugandans now need to exercise patience, and do what they think is right in 2016. There is a heavy presence of the military on the streets of Kampala in the aftermath of the Feb 18 Uganda elections to quell any violence. My advice is, follow the advice of the man in the image. Heed to his voice.
