Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has won a fifth term as president, extending his 30 years in office. The 71-year-old won 60.75% of the vote while his nearest rival Kizza Besigye took 35%, the election commission said....

EU observers have also criticised the poll, saying the governing party had created an "intimidating atmosphere". But then this is Africa
