notes: On 18 November 2020, thousands of NUP supporters rioted in several locations in Kampala after Bobi Wine (MP) was arrested earlier that day. Police, UPDF and LDU paramilitaries used live rounds, beatings and tear gas, killing at least 49 in Kampala and wounding over 100 (dozens seriously) across two days of clashes. Five fatalities concern civilians, shot dead by police officers while not rioting in addition to 11 police whilst making 577 arrests. Looting and robbery were reported during the events. A number of other civilians were among the dead, including 5 market vendors. Some observers filming the events were also fired upon. Fatalities split across two events, with two boda drivers killed in Nansana and one civilian in Nkumba deducted from the total. [size=thousands]
