The Secret of the Hop
To demonstrate or not to demonstrate, that is the question the Uganda
opposition might have been wrestling with and scratching their haeds over the
week-end. The usual strategy behind demonstrating in a dictator’s fiefdom is to
precipitate discontent locally and sympathy internationally as the state
coercive forces are sure to break some limbs or even kill. So, what does it
mean when you threaten a demonstration and then back down? Do you lose face (if
there is any such a thing in the African context)? Will you ever be taken
seriously?
