Please pray for Uganda

November 18, 2020

Please pray for Uganda. Pre-election violence has been escalating, and the major presidential opposition candidate was arrested today. People are rioting, the police is responding with tear gas and lethal force. I spoke with a student about his dissertation today, and he said Kampala is chaos. The election is 14 January 2021, so there are still two months to go.

I am safe here on campus, thanks be to God, though I am currently hearing sounds that I’m fairly certain are not fireworks. I don’t know where it is, but it’s an odd juxtaposition with the sound of students clapping and talking in their classroom.

O Uganda, may God uphold thee!
