Your second link has a wonderful 45 minute documentary about Bobi Wine which got me up to speed with what's going on over there. Highly recommended!

I haven't listened to it yet, so I can't speak on the quality of it, but Spotify is currently running a podcast series titled "The Messenger" about Bobi's efforts here. The two most recent episodes were uploaded yesterday, so the information should be relatively current.
