Waiting on Reparations

"U Want Another President?"

Hosts Dope KNife and Linqua Franqa continue their recent globetrotting with a trip to Uganda, where last week opposition presidential candidate and rapper Bobi Wine was arrested for protesting the detention of supporters who called into question the results of January's Ugandan presidential election. They discuss the slow rise of multiparty politics in Uganda, Wine's personal rise to political power, the appeal of liberal democratic politics among the fed-up Ugandan youth, and the ncumbent president Yoweri Museveni's attempts to co-opt Hip Hop as a cover for his regime's repressive malfeasance.
