Photo by @randyolson // The recent news about musicians swaying politics, rappers in the White House and tortured/killed opposition voices reminds me of Bobi Wine. Bobi is the self-proclaimed “Ghetto President” of Uganda and is popular for both music and free speech… which can be powerful (and dangerous) in any place with dictators. When I met Bobi in 2010 for an @ナショナルジオグラフィック story. I followed him through Kampala and he was hugely popular… everyone stopped him on the streets… his music resonated with young people… half of Uganda was under the age of 15. He was considering running for parliament. He was elected MP in 2017. He ran on lyrics like this: “When our leaders have become misleaders and mentors have become tormentors. When freedom of expression becomes the target of oppression, opposition becomes our position.” He was subsequently charged with treason and tortured. He’s recently returned to Uganda after receiving medical treatment in USA for injuries suffered while imprisoned. To read about his fight against Museveni… search BBC, Bobi Wine, Torture. #bobiwine #freedomofspeech #dictators @natgeocreative @thephotosociety #uganda
