Uganda election, Museveni and Bobi Wine
The people of Uganda came out en masse to exercise their franchise in the country’s general election (presidential and parliamentary) held on January 14, 2021.
The main focus was on the presidential election in which the incumbent President Yoweri Museveni of the National Resistance Movement (NRM) slugged it out with his major challenger, the candidate of the National Unity Platform, NUP, Robert Ssentamu Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine.
At the end of voting by the electorate in the presidential poll, which had nine other candidates, Uganda’s Electoral Commission chaired by Simon Mugenyi Byabakama, announced Museveni, the long-time Ugandan leader as the winner, having garnered a total vote of 5.85 million (58.64%) leaving Kyagulanyi with 3.48 million votes (34.83%).

The role of force protection in military operations cannot be overemphasised. Recently, in furtherance of its continued efforts at developing the capacity of its personnel to tackle various security challenges, the Nigerian Air Force graduated 676 additional regiment personnel trained in force protection in complex air-ground complexities, writes Chiemelie Ezeobi

Their task was explicit- they are to undertake covert, counter insurgency and unconventional warfare, thus bridging the gap between air power projections and force protection.
Over the years, this unit has blossomed in strength and training. The resultant effect is its capability in conducting specialised operations.
