U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is traveling to Uganda for talks with President Yoweri Museveni.
Clinton will use the talks Thursday to discuss Uganda's role as a key U.S. partner in regional security, as well as to encourage stronger democratic institutions and human rights.
On Wednesday, Clinton warned African leaders that they must respect their people's rights or be destined to lose power.
She said during a speech in Senegal that Africans are demanding change in countries where a small elite prospers while most of the population is stuck in poverty.
