In de aanloop naar de verkiezingen werden ook campagneactiviteiten van de oppositie verstoord en werden herhaaldelijk oppositieleden gearresteerd.<\/p>\n<p>Bovendien betwisten verschillende presidentskandidaten de uitslag van de presidentsverkiezingen. Als gevolg van deze situatie lopen de spanningen in Oeganda nog steeds hoog op.<\/p>\n<p>Als belangrijke partner van Oegandese politieke partijen die de dialoog tussen de partijen onder auspici\u00ebn van IPOD actief heeft aangemoedigd en vergemakkelijkt, roepen we alle Oegandese partijen op om de spanning en onrust die in het land heersen te de\u00ebscaleren, in het belang van de bevolking.<\/p>\n<p>In het bijzonder roepen we alle politieke partijen op om elkaar respect te tonen en elkaar te erkennen als legitieme politieke concurrenten.<\/p>\n<p>Om hun basis van respect op te bouwen, moeten ze samenwerken om de huidige impasse vreedzaam op te lossen.<\/p>\n<p>Wij geloven dat in tijden als deze het veelgekoesterde motto van IPOD, dat al zijn leden oproept om \"Uganda op de eerste plaats te zetten\", zeer relevant wordt. Als de politieke partijen van het land deze stap zetten, zullen ze de burgers tonen dat het mogelijk is om samen oplossingen te vinden die de hele bevolking ten goede komen.<\/p>\n<p>Over de partijgrenzen heen werken om de huidige spanning te de\u00ebscaleren zal de positieve toon zetten voor een dialoog op lange termijn die gebaseerd is op vertrouwen en respect. We nodigen IPOD uit om nieuwe parameters vast te stellen voor een vruchtbaardere en zinvollere dialoog. Dit zal een belangrijke stap zijn in het vormgeven van de toekomstige koers van de Oegandese politiek.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Het Nederlands Instituut voor Meerpartijendemocratie Oeganda (NIMD Oeganda), een belangrijke partner van Oegandese politieke partijen en gastheer van het secretariaat van de Interpartijen Organisatie voor Dialoog (IPOD), neemt met grote bezorgdheid kennis van het hoge niveau van spanning en angst in Oeganda na de presidentsverkiezingen van 14 januari 2021.
