Kenyan activists abducted in Uganda, opposition leader says
Several Kenyan activists have reportedly been abducted in Uganda, according to opposition leader David Ndii. The incident took place on Wednesday in the border town of Malaba.
Ndii claims that the Kenyan activists were in Uganda to attend a human rights workshop. He alleges that the abductions were politically motivated, orchestrated by the Ugandan authorities to intimidate and silence dissenting voices.
On the other hand, the Ugandan government has denied any involvement in the alleged abductions. They have stated that they have no information regarding the whereabouts of the Kenyan activists and are working to investigate the matter.
The identities of the abducted activists have not been disclosed publicly. However, Ndii has urged both the Kenyan and Ugandan governments to work together to ensure the safe return of the activists.
This incident has raised concerns about the safety of activists operating in the region and the potential risks they face while carrying out their work.
