Uganda: Road workers protesting in Kampala on March 4
Road workers march towards Kampala Capital City Authority, Uganda, March 4, to protest unpaid wages.
Road workers are marching towards the Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) on March 4 over unpaid wages. It is unclear whether authorities have granted permission for the action. The event has attracted hundreds of participants.
Increased security and localized traffic disruptions are likely in the vicinity of the KCCA and other parts of the city center over the coming hours. Clashes between security forces and protesters cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the vicinity of the KCCA to mitigate potential disruptions. If violence breaks out, leave the area immediately, and take shelter in a secure, nongovernmental building.
