Critics have called it a stunt to invite sympathy. Yet Amuriat says campaigning without shoes is a protest and that those who do not get its symbolism are missing a point.
Uganda is due to hold a general election on January 14. Amuriat and another opposition candidate, Bobi Wine have had their rallies violently dispersed by security forces or been arrested.
In mid-November, scores of people were killed as security forces attempted to quell protests against the arrest and detention of Bobi Wine.
Police has accused the candidates of addressing huge gatherings in contravention of regulations on COVID-19 prevention.
Swollen feet
In an interview with one of the dailies in Uganda, Amuriat said his feet hurt a lot and has to pour cold water on them in between campaign stops for some relief.
Doctors have cautioned him on the potential danger of contracting tetanus from cuts to his feet.
Yet Amuriat remains adamant. He says by refusing to wear shoes, he’s standing in solidarity with people whose wealth and opportunities have been stolen by the country’s longtime ruler Yoweri Museveni.

Black race car drivers were largely absent from pro racing’s spotlight for years–that is until the formation of the Black American Racers Association in August 1972.
Based in Trenton, New Jersey the main goal was to bring together and give a platform to Black drivers, mechanics, pit crews, and team owners.
For those looking to become members of the Black American Racers Association, a lifetime membership was $100 while a regular or annual one was $10.
The BARA would host a race in March 1974 featuring a number of the Black drivers of drag racing.
The Black American Racers Association would end operations in 1978.

Please man,” can be heard in a video that surfaced of Minneapolis officers kneeling on black man neck during an arrest which ultimately ended in his death.
The man was George Floyd and can be heard begging for his life for several minutes as the officer knelt down on the man’s neck during the arrest and kept his knee there for some time after Floyd stopped moving.
This incident has drawn comparison to the case of Eric Garner, an unarmed black man who died in 2014 in New York after he was placed in a chokehold by police and pleaded for his life and this case is currently under investigation by the FBI and state law enforcement authorities.
In Minneapolis, kneeling on a suspect’s neck is allowed under the department’s use-of-force policy for officers who have received training in how to compress a neck without applying direct pressure to the airway.
BNC has requested the video and documentation of the incident but was informed by the Minneapolis Police Department that our request could not be completed at this time.
