Critics have called it a stunt to invite sympathy. Yet Amuriat says campaigning without shoes is a protest and that those who do not get its symbolism are missing a point.
Uganda is due to hold a general election on January 14. Amuriat and another opposition candidate, Bobi Wine have had their rallies violently dispersed by security forces or been arrested.
In mid-November, scores of people were killed as security forces attempted to quell protests against the arrest and detention of Bobi Wine.

Swollen feet
In an interview with one of the dailies in Uganda, Amuriat said his feet hurt a lot and has to pour cold water on them in between campaign stops for some relief.
Doctors have cautioned him on the potential danger of contracting tetanus from cuts to his feet.
Yet Amuriat remains adamant. He says by refusing to wear shoes, he’s standing in solidarity with people whose wealth and opportunities have been stolen by the country’s longtime ruler Yoweri Museveni.

2 Chainz needs to holla at his restaurant’s management.
The Atlanta rapper’s local establishment, Escobar Restaurant Tapas, got shut down by the police due to violations of COVID-19 guidelines.
The Georgia State Police took a closer look and according to the police report, they “noticed that the location was rather loud, busy, and occupied to be operating as a restaurant at that time of night.”
All those people assembled, besides showing a stunning lack of common sense, meant the restaurant was in violation of COVID-19 guidelines.
So consider this, wherever you are, when dealing with the urge to go out like things are back to Chainz Restaurant Shut Down For COVID-19 Guidelines Violations

This past week’s international civil disturbances, sparked by the ‘lynching’ of a Black man in Minneapolis, took me back four decades to the killing/murder of Earnest Lacy by Milwaukee police officers.
Milwaukee, still reeling from several questionable killings by police—including the murder of Joel Acevedo a few short weeks ago by an off duty cop—leads the nation in seven negative social indicators and has been judged the worst city for African Americans to live in the country.
While the Minneapolis chief of police was quick to condemn his officers for violating Floyd’s human rights, Milwaukee had the misfortunate of having an avowed racist leading our police department in Chief Harold Breier.
But I doubt if the Minnesota criminal justice community would have sought to delay, distort and sabotage the investigation the way the Milwaukee Police Department did in the Lacy case.
And they had many opportunities over an extended sojourn given how the Milwaukee district attorney (E. Michael McCann), the police union, and mayor (Henry Meier) used every trick in the book to delay, undermine and desensitize the White community about the incident and police brutality against Black citizens in general.
