Uganda: Persecution Escalates and Spreads as President Loses His Way

Source: Religious Liberty Prayer Bulletin, September 20, 2022

Persecution is both escalating and spreading throughout Uganda. Islamic radicalization and guaranteed impunity have combined to make Uganda (which is 84 percent Christian and 14 percent Muslim according to the 2014 census) an increasingly dangerous place for Christian evangelists, apologists, and converts from Islam.

Despite Muslims comprising a small minority, Uganda is a member of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and the Islamic Development Bank. Thus, Uganda is committed to promoting and defending Islam, which is growing in numbers, increasingly radical and overtly confident.

Meanwhile, President Museveni (a professing Christian) appears to have lost his way, trusting less in God and more in corruption—particularly patronage (rewarding supporters) and repression (punishing opponents) as he retains power by any means. Prayers for Uganda, its president, and its Church are urgently needed. Please pray.
