    Les Études du CERI N 4 - septembre 1995 Ouganda : un pays en mutation au cœur d’une zone de fractures Richard Banégas Centre d’études et de recherches internationales Fondation nationale des sciences politiques Ouganda : un pays en mutation au cœur d’une zone de fractures Richard Banégas Entre les images de mort des années Amin et Obote, de la guerre civile et du sida et le souvenir nostalgique de la “ perle de l’Afrique ” (Churchill), l’Ouganda reste prisonnier de clichés hérités d’un passé chaotique qui ne reflètent pourtant plus guère la réalité. L’Ou- ganda actuel est en effet un pays en complète mutation, en pleine reconstruction économique et politique, qui devient un pôle essentiel de stabilité régionale au coeur d’une zone de fractures minée par la violence, marquée par des conflits “ tectoniques ” et la déliquescence des structures économiques ou étatiques. Après des années de guerre civile, au gré d’un processus de pacification et de démocratisation assez lent, un nouvel ordre politique est en train d’émerger. Au plan économique, en contraste avec ses voisins immédiats, l’Ou- ganda offre l’image d’un pays en croissance qui offre aux investisseurs des opportunités d’autant plus intéressantes que se réactive un processus d’intégration régionale (au sein de la Communauté est-africaine) qui, à l’horizon 2000, devrait constituer un des plus vastes marchés d’Afrique avec près de 100 millions d’habitants. A travers cette étude, nous voudrions d’abord évaluer l’ampleur de ces mutations opé- rées par l’Ouganda depuis quelques années et les enjeux économiques, politiques et di- plomatiques qu’elles comportent pour l’ensemble de la zone.

Sunday, April 3 @ 7 PM Zellerbach Theatre Part of the African Roots, American Voices series. 15/16 Season 45 ABOUT THE ARTISTS Johnny Clegg is one of South Africa’s most celebrated sons. He is a singer, songwriter, dancer, anthropologist and musical activist whose infectious crossover music, a vibrant blend of Western pop and African Zulu rhythms, has exploded onto the international scene and broken through all the barriers in his own country. In France, where he enjoys a massive following, he is fondly called Le Zulu Blanc – the white Zulu. Over three decades, Clegg has sold over five million albums of his brand of crossover music worldwide. He has wowed vast audiences with his audacious live shows and won a number of national and international awards for his music and his outspoken views on apartheid, perspectives on migrant workers in South Africa and the general situation in the world today. Clegg’s history is as bold, colorful and dashing as the rainbow country which he has called home for more than 40 years. Clegg was born in Bacup, near Rochdale, England, in 1953, but was brought up in Zimbabwe and South Africa. Between his mother (a cabaret and jazz singer) and his step-father (a crime reporter who took him into the townships at an early age), Clegg was exposed to a broader cultural perspective than that available to his peers.

AMAMA MBABAZI …………………………………….PETITIONER VERSUS 15 YOWERI KAGUTA MUSEVENI ……………. 1stRESPONDENT ELECTORAL COMMISSION ……………… 2ndRESPONDENT THE ATTORNEY GENERAL ………………… 3rd RESPONDENT PROFESSOR OLOKA ONYANGO & 8 ORS………..AMICI 20 CURIAE DETAILED REASONS FOR THE JUDGMENT OF THE COURT The Petitioner, who was one of the candidates in the presidential 25 election that was held on the 18th February, 2016 petitioned the 1 5 Supreme Court under the Constitution, the Presidential Elections Act, 2000 and the Electoral Commission Act, 1997 (hereinafterreferred to as the PEA and the ECA, respectively). He challenged the result of the election and sought a declaration that Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, the 1st Respondent, was not 10 validly elected and an order that the election be annulled. On the 31st March 2016, we delivered our decision in line with the Constitutional timeline imposed on the Court to render its judgment within 30 days from the date of filing the petition. We were not, however, in a position to give detailed reasons for our 15 findings and conclusion. We found that the 1st Respondent was validly elected as President in accordance with Article 104 of the Constitution and Section 59 of the PEA. Accordingly, we unanimously dismissed the petition. We made no order as to costs. 20 We promised to give the detailed reasons at a later date, which we now give in this judgment.
