Africa: Pro-Trump Youth Storm Us Embassy in Kampala, Arrested

Kampala — Police on Tuesday arrested two Ugandan youth for demonstrating at the United States embassy in Kampala in support of Donald Trump, the Republican candidate in the US presidential election due on November 8.

Those detained are Bigirwa Moses and Allan Kitonsa while their colleagues; Kizza Hakim, Kayondo Juma and Nsibuka Harunah escaped.

The five demonstrators, all members of Uganda Young Democrats (UYD), held placards inscribed with the words "vote Trump".

The group arrived at the embassy at 9am, and began a surprise pro-Trump demonstration, a witnessed said. After taking embassy security by surprise, the youth started negotiations ostensibly to be allowed to campaign for Mr Trump from inside the diplomatic premises.

They were denied access, but refused to budge.

This prompted Uganda police deployed to guard the US embassy to call for reinforcement, resulting in a crackdown that sent the demonstrators and journalists fleeing.

We were unable to reach officials of the US embassy in Kampala, but they, by diplomatic decorum, do not publicly comment on presidential candidates back home.

The only Trump supporters in that embassy are probably the Marine guards.

In Uganda they get it. In Kenya they get it.

What’s missing over here?

Having had contact,in my travels,with more than a few residents of several East African and southern African nations I can say that they were hard working,admirable people.As such it's not surprising that many would support DJT.Under President Trump we'd have strong relationships for countries like Kenya (among others).

I get the distinct impression that if the whole planet could vote in the US election hillary would be absolutely slaughtered by Trump. This is interesting because it shows just how small a minority the globalists are, and if comes to a shooting war they would be eradicated. Why don’t those idiots see that? (and locate your nearest friendly globalist and thank him for being a self absorbed jackass).

Truth from the media, from the academia, from the government.
