Museveni’s Condition Has Stabilized – Says Saleh

Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has been hospitalized for several days, and there has been much speculation about his condition. However, according to a statement from his brother, Salim Saleh, Museveni is now out of danger.

Saleh, who is a senior member of the Ugandan military and a prominent political figure in his own right, made the statement to reporters on Monday. He said that Museveni had been receiving treatment for an undisclosed condition, but that he was now recovering well.

“We are happy to report that his condition has stabilized, and he is out of danger,” Saleh said.

The news come as a relief to many Ugandans, who have been concerned about Museveni’s health since he was admitted to hospital. The 76-year-old president has been in power since 1986 and is one of Africa’s longest-serving leaders.

However, Saleh’s statement seems to suggest that Museveni is now on the road to recovery and that he may be able to resume his duties as president soon.

This will be welcome news for his supporters, who see him as a stabilizing force in a region that has been plagued by conflict and political instability.

Religious leaders cautioned Ugandans

Mr Salim Uhuru the Kampala central mayor said that President Museveni leadership and wisdom is needed now more than ever before.

“ We the leaders of NRM in Kampala wish the president quick recovery. He should return and start doing his work,” he said.

In response too from the religious leaders also cautioned Ugandans to desist from celebrating people’s sickness and death.

“It has become a norm in this country that whenever some people are sick or die certain portion of the population celebrate. This is a bad custom which should be stopped with immediate effect,” Sheik Ali Waiswa the deputy Mufti of Uganda Supreme council said.

However it still remains to be seen how long Museveni will remain in hospital and what impact his illness will have as the head of state as he is expected to resume official duties immediately as his tests come out negative. However, for now, it seems that he is on the mend and that his condition is no longer a cause for concern.

The statement from Museveni’s brother that the president is out of danger is a positive development for Uganda and for Museveni’s supporters around the world.

Meanwhile where there are still many unanswered questions about his health and his political future, the news that he is recovering well will be a relief to many.
