Museveni sworn in for seventh term

Yoweri Museveni has been sworn in for a seventh term as the President of Uganda, extending his 40-year rule over the East African nation.

The 81-year-old leader's inauguration follows a disputed election and comes as his son emerges as a key political figure.

The ceremony in Kampala was attended by several regional heads of state amidst heavy security and an internet shutdown.

Opposition leaders have called for international sanctions, alleging widespread voter intimidation and the abduction of political activists during the campaign.
