Foreign diplomats accredited to Uganda have called upon Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) flag bearer in the recently concluded elections, Dr Kizza Besigye to restrain from using language that stokes tension and violence in the country.
Speaking after a meeting with Mr Besigye and FDC president Gen Mugisha Muntu Friday, the European Union head of mission in Uganda Mr Kristian Schmidt noted that the discussion was basically on three points; Dr Besigye’s continued incarceration, both at his home and in different police stations, possible court action to challenge the outcome of the February 18th general elections and use of language that can lead to violence.
“We have appealed to Dr Besigye as we have made the point to all political actors in Uganda in the last weeks to refrain from using any language that incites violence and to engage in dialogue and if there are any electoral disputes, to resolve all those by legal means,” Mr Kristian said.
