\u201cTop leaders were informed about this agreement.Uganda is in transition and it is not coming but has started. We(DP) have only done what a catalyst does.\u00a0 This is what DP has done and it is known as the shock doctrine.\u00a0 As to whether I will ever become a president that one I don\u2019t know and I don\u2019t care,\u201d Mao said<\/p>\n\n\n\n
