Zeinab Badawi talks to Kizza Besigye, former leader of the main Ugandan opposition party.

HARDtalk speaks to Kizza Besigye, former leader of the main Ugandan opposition party. He's called for popular protests. So why has he failed to mobilise public opinion behind him?

Dr Kizza Besigye is a former ally of Uganda's President Museveni who has become his biggest critic and the country's best known opposition figure. As the former leader of the main opposition party - the Forum for Democratic Change - he has run three times against President Museveni in elections and lost each time. He has called for popular protests in Uganda like the ones that lead to the uprisings of the Arab Spring. So why has he failed to mobilise public opinion behind him?
