Meanwhile, former Ugandan military intelligence officer Herbert Matanda Mabonga accuses the army of secretly detaining and torturing opponents, following the release of videos that sparked national outrage. Finally, in Senegal, more than 200,000 free tickets are giving young people the chance to experience the games live on home soil, in a bid to inspire a new generation of athletes.
