In many emerging democracies, election violence has become a familiar occurrence to citizens choosing leadership. The violence, sometimes justified, is usually due to the grievances of unfair processes during the election period compounded with other real or perceived violations that have accumulated over time...Voices of Uganda is an initiative conceived by Ugandan photographer Andrew Agaba to create a peaceful dialogue between the citizens of Uganda leading up to the election. It is not intended as a promotional campaign for any particular presidential candidate. It was simply designed to generate meaningful discussion and debate in Uganda regarding the issues that its citizens wish to address with their leaders and fellow citizens.
