Today is the presidential elections here in Uganda. For the past months there has been campaigning. And many, many posters...
That's a good reason to vote for someone right?!
These were stuck on our wall outside our house. (they don't come off very easy)
This is one of the oppositional candidates. He probably has the best chance against Museveni.
Many, Many, Many posters, everywhere!
The process here is very different then America that's for sure. Click on this
website to get an idea of what Ugandans are saying about what's going on here. Lots of corruption, violence, and threats. Many don't see the point in voting. Which I completely understand. But it would be an amazing thing to have a fair election here.
I've gotten asked if i'm worried, especially since what's all going on in Northern Africa & the middle east. And I'm not too worried. But again, you never know. My guess is that there will be some riots, but that they won't get too bad. The results don't even come in till Sunday night, so if anything does turn south, it won't probably happen till then.
I've done a tone of shopping, and we are just planning on staying home for the next few days. Rachel is out of school till at least Wednesday, and the IJM interns are coming over today to hang out & watch a lot of movies. : ) (of course our dvd player died this week, thankfully Ray (the guy living with us) has one we can use!)
But we'll keep you all updated. Thanks for the prayers!
