	PINR - Uganda: Museveni on the Ropes, Instability Ahead
		Museveni and his National Resistance Movement (N.R.M.) brought a partial end to the cycle of civil war and repression, but -- even granting Museveni's good intentions -- did not resolve the underlying problem of a divergent political community and its symptoms, such as corruption, regional disaffection and political fragmentation.
		Besigye split with Museveni in 1995, disabused, he said, by government corruption and lack of internal democracy in the N.R.M. In 2001, he ran against Museveni in the presidential election, which the latter won with an official tally of 69 percent of the votes, but that Besigye's forces charged was rigged.
		Museveni's problems are not confined to the formal opposition, which is divided into six parties with their own candidates, but formed in a loose coalition (the G6), the I.C.J. judgment, and the withdrawal of donor aid.
