What a High Commission Does
A High Commission is a type of embassy. Countries that are part of the Commonwealth of Nations often call their embassies "High Commissions." The Commonwealth is a group of countries that used to be part of the British Empire. They work together on many things, like trade and education.
The High Commission helps Ugandan citizens who are in the UK. This might include helping with passports or other official documents. It also helps British people who want to visit or do business in Uganda.
Expressing Views at the High Commission
Sometimes, people gather outside the High Commission to share their opinions. For example, in 2011, some Ugandans living abroad held a protest there. They wanted to express their views about the leadership in Uganda at the time. This is a common way for people to show what they think about political issues.
