Brawl in Parliament! MPs throw punches and chairs at each other during vicious fight between Ugandan lawmakers.

The row broke out as they debated whether to grant President Yoweri Museveni another term in office after more than three decades in power….

NAIROBI — This week, as lawmakers debated one of the country’s most important bills, Uganda’s parliament turned into an ultimate fighting ring.

Parliamentarians hurled chairs at each other and swung microphone stands like swords. Men were torn from the room by their blazers and women by their dresses. Some people wailed and cried.

That fight exposed the bitter rift between lawmakers who support President Yoweri Museveni’s efforts to extend his rule and those who oppose it. Museveni, 73, has been president for 31 years.

Uganda’s constitution says no one older than 75 can run for president, which would effectively prevent Museveni from running for reelection in 2021. Some parliamentarians want to introduce a bill that would change that law, allowing the president to extend his rule.

That bill has led to protests in Uganda and, on Tuesday, the parliamentary fistfight. The damage was still being assessed Thursday, when Uganda’s New Vision newspaper ran the headline, “Age limit fight leaves Parliament chambers in ruins.”

Museveni is among a growing group of African leaders — in Zimbabwe, Burundi, Rwanda, Congo and other countries — who are trying to stay in power by changing or defying their countries’ laws.

On Wednesday, in response to the violence in parliament, Museveni’s government took its efforts one step further by announcing that it would ban live broadcasts of events “inciting the public,” including parliamentary debate.

Uganda’s Communications Commission said in a letter to broadcast media outlets that they should cease airing events that are “stirring up hatred, promoting a culture of violence.”

In interviews and on Twitter, Ugandan officials clarified that they were referring at least in part to the airing of the parliamentary hearings on efforts to extend Museveni’s rule.

“Violent Scenes& fights offend minimum broadcasting standards,” tweeted Frank K. Tumwebaze, the minister of information and communication technology.

“If you looked at those images coming from parliament and you’re a child, I don’t think those were the most decent pictures,” Godfrey Mutabazi, the executive director of the Uganda Communications Commission, told NBS Television.
