The Military in control of the country before and after the elections.

With the presidential and parliamentary elections now history, business and life in major towns around the country is normalising although a heavy troop presence is still visible in Kampala both during and after dark.

A few days to the polls, scores of people left Kampala for the country side; some to vote and others out of fear in case the elections turned violent.
The city was left to police and military officers walking around town in single file and it looked deserted, and quiet.

An occasional car would once in a while speed on the deserted roads, as tree branches rhymed with the sweeping wind.
