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.

Museveni, in power since 1986 is seeking a new term. In 2017, he changed the constitution to remove age limits that would have stopped him from seeking re-election.

Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms on Sunday called the shooting death of an unarmed African American jogger a “lynching” and said arrests of two accused men would not have been made if there was not video of the incident.
“It’s heartbreaking that it’s 2020 and this was a lynching of an African American man,” Bottoms said of Ahmaud Arbery’s death on CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union.”
Although Gregory McMichael has claimed Arbery looked like a suspect in a string of recent burglaries, Glynn County Police Lt. Cheri Bashlor told CNN last week just one automobile burglary in the neighborhood was reported when a 9 mm pistol was stolen January 1 from an unlocked truck outside the McMichaels’ home.
CNN has not verified who recorded the video — taken by someone in a vehicle that pulls up behind a pickup truck stopped in the road — but it captured events that match numerous accounts of the shooting.
President Donald Trump on Friday called video of the shooting “very disturbing.”

A video has surfaced showing that on February 23, 2020, 25-year-old Ahmaud Arbery was gunned down by a father/son duo, Gregory McMichael and his son, Travis McMichael, who took it upon themselves to stalk and kill Arbery because there had been a previous burglary in the area.
According to an online May 10, 2020 New York Times article titled, “What We Know About the Shooting Death of Ahmaud Arbery” by Richard Fausset, “In a recording of a 911 call, which appears to have been made moments before the chase began, a neighbor told a dispatcher that a Black man was inside a house that was under construction on the McMichael family’s block.
The video clearly shows Arbery jogging past the truck, crossing in front of it, and emerging struggling with Travis McMichael.
It turns out that Gregory McMichael, the dad, had been previously employed as a police officer and former investigator with the Glynn County GA local district attorney’s office.
Gregory McMichael and his son Travis, the alleged shooter, have been arrested and charged with murder.

AIKEN, S.C. (AP) — A white woman is charged with assaulting an 11-year-old black girl, Skhylur Davis in what the girl’s lawyer calls a racially motivated attack.
Elizabeth Shirey accused Davis of stealing her mail on May 11, attorney Justin Bamberg said.
Skhylur told police that Shirey “attempted to grab the mail away from her and in the process, grabbed her by the arms and pulled them,” a report from the Aiken Department of Public Safety states.
When Shirey saw the address on the mail and realized it was not hers, she let Skhylur go and apologized, the girl told officers, according to the police report.
“After realizing that Skhylur had not done anything wrong, this woman proceeds to offer her cookies, as though that makes things better,” Bamberg said.
