Mr Museveni gave his first interview since returning to power to BBC Africa's Zuhura Yunus at his home in Rwakitura, Western Uganda.
In the interview Mr. Museveni says of term limits: “We don’t believe in term limits”, on the arrests of opposition party leaders “They were colluding, they were working together” and on the military presence he mentions there being “a young culture of democracy - some of these participants are not civil”.
