Ugandan opposition leader Bobi Wine's wife, Barbara Kyagulanyi, was hospitalized after soldiers raided their home in the Magere suburb of Kampala on Saturday. Wine, who is in hiding after escaping a previous raid, reported that soldiers broke down doors and assaulted staff. Kyagulanyi, known as Barbie, filmed the intrusion, posting the video on X. Wine alleges that his wife was partially undressed and choked during the incident. The raid occurred after the January 15th presidential election where incumbent President Yoweri Museveni was declared the winner, a result Wine rejects, citing widespread fraud.
