Ugandan Priest detained by Military amid rising election tensions.

Uganda’s military has confirmed it is holding Father Deusdedit Ssekabira, a Catholic priest who went missing nearly two weeks ago. The army says he is suspected of involvement in "violent subversive activities" and will face charges in court. The Catholic Diocese of Masaka had earlier reported that Father Ssekabira was "kidnapped by men in Uganda Army uniform." The church has not commented on the military’s accusations. Church Calls for Immediate Release The Masaka Diocese raised alarm over the priest’s disappearance on Saturday. Bishop Serverus Jjumba described the incident on 3 December as a "grievous wound" for the local church, the wider Catholic community, and Father Ssekabira’s family.
