Last week, Museveni hosted Democratic Party (DP) leader Norbert Mao at State House in Entebbe for the signing of a cooperation agreement. The president went on to praise Mao for his \u201cgesture of mature, foresighted and constructive politics.\u201d<\/p>\n

But few political analysts and opposition politicians take it seriously because Museveni has previously promised to hang up his boots \u2014 before reneging every time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
