Mr. Wafula Oguttu of the opposition being bundled onto a truck.
Teargas, I believe, consumes over 45% of the police budget, yet the policemen themselves live on less than a dollar a day with their families.
Scenes like these were littered all round the city because live rounds were flying all round the city. Many got injured and some of our unfortunate brothers and sisters got killed.
Kizza Besigye's gate into his residence has since become a camping site for policemen and journalists.
Nandala Mafabi and Wafula Oguttu. They too were later arrested for being 'Idle and Disorderly'.
Even the Lord Mayor got arrested afew times, because he is also of the opposition Democratic Party.
Ready for any eventuality? I'd say!!
The policeman in brown uniform got in the line of fire of pepper stray that was being aimed at Dr. Besigye. Talk about a dose of his own medicine!!!
The infamous Arinaitwe with the infamous pistol.
Ugandans in diaspora also had their say.
The pregnant woman who was shot in the stomach by a stray bullet. It's a miracle that both she and the unborn baby survived...
... some were unfortunate.
A child caught up in the commotion and teargas. It is good Samaritans such as these who got arrested by the police.
They literally tore him apart dragging this man. He could be in jail right now awaiting the hearing of his case.
A deserted street in Kampala at the peak of the tension
Primary school kids in Kasangati who had teargas chucked at them during class period
A now blinded Besigye being hustled to the infamous blue police van. He was later flown to Nairobi for treatment, and later the United States.
A man whose eye was gouged out by a stray bullet.
