[Uganda] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Hundreds of residents in Kasese, Uganda staged a peaceful protest on April 9, 2025, demanding the re-arrest of a suspect connected to a missing two-year-old child case. The demonstration remained peaceful with protesters carrying placards and chanting slogans in the town center.

Supply-chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. Given the peaceful nature and local scope of the protest, immediate supply-chain disruptions appear minimal.

Watch points

• Monitor for potential escalation if the missing child case remains unresolved, which could trigger larger demonstrations
• Watch for any spread of similar protests to other Ugandan towns if the case gains national attention
