Opposition groups organized Thursday's march in Kampala, which included handing a statement to Britain's embassy. In the statement, critics accuse Uganda's government of seeking a constitutional amendment to end a two-term limit in order to establish a "dictatorial presidential monarchy." Mr. Museveni has not publicly declared if he will stand in elections next year. Monday, government supporters held a rally to dismiss foreign criticism of a proposed third term for the president. Mr. Museveni has agreed to allow multi-party elections next year for the first since he took power nearly 20 years ago. Some information for this report provided by Reuters and AP.
