President Yoweri Museveni has expressed his displeasure with how African leaders responded to stop a North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) from invading Libya back in 2011.
According to the Ugandan president, the African’s diplomatic attempts in the northern intervention were insufficient and leaders would have opted for military intervention to save the north African country which is currently entangled in armed conflict.
Speaking to BBC, the long-serving president said the African countries should have not allowed European countries to attack Libya.
“African countries should not have allowed European countries to attack Libya. We as leaders should have intervened. We tried using diplomacy but we ought to have used even military.
Speaking in London where he attended the first United Kingdom – Africa summit, President Museveni said Africa should have intervened and taught the Western nation a lesson.

“Libya was an African country being attacked by foreign powers, we should have done something,” Museveni retaliated.
It is the second time in recent years President Yoweri is commenting on the Libya situation that brought an end to the reign of Muammar Gaddafi who was captured and killed by in his hometown of Sirte.
Back in 2016 criticized both the United States and European Union for their intervention in Libya as well as the Middle East. According to Museveni, the two-nation had no business dislodging Gaddafi and Iraq’s Saddam Hussein.
