Uganda’s President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni blasted Americans and UK over their stance on Nyege Nyege Festival.
In a hard hitting statement, Museveni accused the two nations of fear mongering to undermine their cultural activities.
Further, Uganda’s Head of State castigated the US and UK for interfering with Uganda’s local issues.
He thus put a stop on them insisting that Uganda was more than capable of defending itself incase of attrocities.
At the same time, he lauded Uganda’s security apparatus for protecting revellers who attended the Nyege Nyege Festival.
Museveni accused UN and other international bodies of sponsoring conflicts in some African nations including Libya and Congo.Â
Thus, he called for the review of some international policies.
Here is a part of the statement released by MuseveniÂ
On this occasion, however, I want to congratulate the Security Forces (UPDF, Uganda Police and the intelligence services) for successfully protecting the suspected sinners (Abasiisi) of Nyege Nyege in Jinja until their function was over without a single incident. This shows you the strength of the Uganda security system to be able to guard such a long pre-announced massive public function, the threats of the terrorists notwithstanding.
It is true that the pigs of ADF in Congo had sent a few infiltrators to try to disrupt the function of the suspected sinners. Indeed, I hear that the panicking Americans and British sent out what they call advisories to their citizens not to come to Uganda. These are mistake makers. If the situation was so bad, it would be us to advise people not to come to Uganda, not the British and the Americans. We know what we are doing, always. Even if a mistake occurs, we know how to handle it. These advisories by some of these actors are another form of interference in our internal affairs by these elements.
Moreover, part of the terrorism in Africa is either created or conserved by some of the actors that try to be global policemen. The chaos in Libya and the surrounding countries of the Sahel (Mali, Burkina-Faso, Niger, Nigeria, Chad, etc.) was caused by some of these actors.
The terrorism conservation project in Eastern Congo, for the past 20 years, is by the UN, which is controlled by some of these actors through the undemocratic structures of that body, such as the Security Council.
