Student leaders at Uganda's top university are planning to protest against a hike in tuition fees. Makerere University's administrators have offered a meeting to discuss the matter, but it is yet unclear whether students' leaders will attend.

We speak to journalist Dear Jeanne who is following the events live from Kampala.
