Grenades Thrown at Homes of 🇺🇬Ugandan MPs

Five grenades were thrown overnight at the homes of two Ugandan legislators opposed to scrapping the presidential age limit and thereby extending President Yoweri Museveni's more than 31 years in power.

The two legislators, Allan Ssewanyana and Robert Kyagulanyi, have been outspoken in efforts to resist an ongoing effort to change the constitution to allow Museveni to stay on.

Museveni has been president since January 1986. Two grenades were thrown at Ssewanyana's residence and three others at Kyagulanyi's. Both legislators were among MPs forcefully ejected from the parliament chamber last week by Uganda's special forces.

But he dismissed as "absurd" the idea that the attacks were politically motivated. Talking to local NBS TV, Ssewanyana said he was scared but would not give up the fight against the constitutional change.
