Ugandan opposition leader Kizza Besigye has reportedly been abducted in Nairobi and is being held in a military detention facility in Kampala, according to his wife, Winnie Byanyima, a senior United Nations official. Besigye went missing in Nairobi after attending a book launch by Kenya's former Justice Minister Martha Karua. His allies have stated that he has been detained for four days and is to be charged at a military court martial at 11 a.m. The Ugandan army is scheduled to hold a press conference at 2:30 p.m. regarding the situation. The Pan-African Opposition Leaders Solidarity Network has condemned the abduction and demanded his immediate release, raising concerns over foreign intelligence operations in Kenya and the implications for regional politics. The Ugandan government has announced an investigation into the incident.
