Africa's Democratization and the Role of Opposition Parties

Ruling parties, especially in Africa, may seldom acknowledge the contributions of the opposition. Opposition parties in Uganda and Ethiopia operate under severe constraints, and in Sudan they can resume activity only at the consent of the government. But opposition parties stress the importance of voting, encouraging citizens to vote in large numbers and to make informed decisions.

On the next Straight Talk Africa, host Shaka Ssali and his guests will take a closer look at how opposition parties play a significant role in the democratic process in Africa. Join us for a live, one-hour discussion on radio and television from the Voice of America.

Guests:

Olara A. Otunnu
President, Uganda Peoples Congress
Ugandan Presidential Candidate

Major General Kahinda Otafire (Retired)
Ugandan Minister of Trade and Industry
Via telephone from: Ankara, Turkey

Otafire who are you to dugde wich person are telling lies. let there be free press and let the citizen of the uganda deside who are telling lies if you dare mr Museveni, Otafire & co. for u who do not know who O.O is he is one of the most caring and generous men on this planet.. He gave up a hudge chance of having his own biological children to help other children in need esp. the children of he's family members. If that aint a hudge sacrifice to make then i don't know what sacrifice means.
