The second volume of Xavier Ogena’s political biography of President Museveni takes the reader from its subject’s successful handling of the formidable economic problems that he inherited from previous regimes—through his somewhat successful struggle against poverty; his largely subsequently-reversed reform of state institutions; his curiously delayed ending of the insurgency in the north and the east; his rather heavy-handed approach to consolidation of power; his reluctant re-introduction of democratic pluralism; his primarily self-serving deployment of Ugandan troops to Somalia; and his particularly repressive and sexually-discriminatory legislations of the middle of the 2010s—to his controversial removal of the presidential age limit in the dry season of 2017-18, leaving him eligible to seek a sixth presidential term.
