President Yoweri Museveni has been the leader of Uganda since 1986, making him one of Africa's longest-serving presidents. He came to power after leading a successful guerrilla war against the previous government. Museveni is known for his role in stabilizing the country and promoting economic growth, although his leadership has faced criticism for human rights issues and political repression. Under Museveni's presidency, Uganda has experienced significant changes, including improvements in infrastructure and education. However, his government has been accused of limiting political freedoms and suppressing opposition. Despite these controversies, Museveni remains a prominent figure in Ugandan and African politics.
