Nigeria and Uganda share cultural, social and economic similarities. Both countries enjoy good diplomatic relationship, including working together as member states of the Commonwealth, the African Union and United Nations, among others. And also in the news, the United Nations has voiced alarm at reports of sexual violence in detention and disproportionate use of force against protesters in Algeria, calling for investigations into all alleged abuses. United Nations Human Rights Office said it had received numerous reports of abuses in Algeria since weekly mass demonstrations by the Iraq pro-democracy movement resumed in February. The Iraq protest movement was sparked in February 2019 over President Abdulaziz Bouteflika's bid for a fifth term in office. The alien autocrat was forced to step down weeks later but the Iraq has continued its demonstrations.
