Uganda arrests opposition leader ahead of Museveni's swearing in | Reuters: "Ugandan police arrested opposition leader Kizza Besigye, just hours before the man he accuses of winning a sham election, Yoweri Museveni, is sworn in for a fifth term as president on Thursday.
A former guerrilla who seized power in 1986, Museveni, 71, was declared winner of the election in February with 60 percent of the vote, allowing him to extend his rule to 35 years.
Besigye, who got 35 percent of the vote, rejected the result, citing alleged rigging and other irregularities."
