notes: On 12 March 2021, students of the Mbarara University of Science and Technology (MUST) staged a demonstration and burnt tires outside the university in Mbarara (Mbarara Municipality, Mbarara) against the ongoing academic staff strike which has resulted in them not having classes for the last month. The students also demanded physical lectures and if that is not possible, they demand the University to provide free internet. Police attempted to disperse the demonstrators and tried to put out the small fires. [size=no report]
