KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) - A day after his release on charges he called politically motivated, Uganda's main opposition leader Tuesday called President Yoweri Museveni a dictator who should be thrown out.
"The people of Uganda are under siege," Kizza Besigye said at a news conference. "They are prisoners like I have been. But we have to confront the pillars of the dictatorship and uproot them. We should go to vote out the dictatorship and liberate ourselves."
Besigye, a former Museveni ally now seen as his most credible challenger in a Feb. 23 election, was released on bail Monday on military court charges of terrorism and illegal possession of firearms.
