KAMPALA — Fistfights and chair-throwing broke out in Uganda's parliament on Tuesday ahead of a debate on whether to grant long-serving President Yoweri Museveni another term in office.

The move to extend his rule has met widespread opposition from civic rights activists, the political opposition, religious leaders and even some members of Museveni's own ruling party. He has been in power for more than three decades.

"Please take your seats... Let us speak with our words, not with our fists," Parliament Speaker Rebecca Kadaga said as she tried to calm the enraged lawmakers.

Order was subsequently restored as the House debated other, less contentious subjects.

I traveled to Kampala a few years ago to meet with President Musevini and a few of their Bishops in an effort to pressure the president into providing the Ugandan people with more transparency within his regime. Essentially the entire country was going weary and suspicious of corruption.

He canceled the meeting the night before due to catastrophic flooding in Kasese.

We were very disappointed. Would have been a pretty cool experience.
