Kampala, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | Uganda’s stature and importance as a security partner should not prevent the United States from taking action in support of those fighting for democratic freedoms, a US Senator Bob Menendez’s has said.
Menendez observes that Uganda has been an important, if not critical, security and counter-terrorism partner to the United States for more than a decade, playing a prominent role in the African Union’s Mission to Somalia and hosting over 1.4 million refugees.
But, he says, that Uganda is now going through troubling times, and long-standing efforts to advance its democracy is now in peril that the United States administration cannot continue keeping silent without reviewing the importance of its relations.
“Mr President, if the outcome of the elections in Uganda does not reflect the will of the people, I will be calling for the Biden Administration to re-evaluate our relationship with the Museveni administration. Uganda’s stature and importance as a security partner should not prevent the United States from speaking out in support of democracy, and taking action in support of those Ugandans fighting for democratic freedoms,” he said in a statement for the Senate record on safeguarding democracy in Uganda.
In the same statement, dated December 31, Menendez reiterates the need to impose sanctions for some Ugandans as a measure to ensure that democracy is upheld. He also introduced a proposal urging the Government of Uganda and all parties to respect human, civil, and political rights and ensure free and fair elections in January 2021, and recognizing the importance of multiparty democracy in Uganda.
The resolution not only condemns the actions of the Museveni administration, it reiterates calls for the Secretary of State, and the heads of relevant departments and agencies of the United States Government to undertake three essential actions including sanctions, strategies and activities to promote human rights in Uganda and to review US assistance to Uganda.
“To immediately conduct a review of United States assistance and cooperation with Uganda for reprioritizing such assistance should neutral observers determine that the January 2021 polls do not meet internationally accepted standards for credible elections,” the statement reads.
In recent months, Uganda has witnessed a spike in election violence resulting in arrests of Presidential candidates and their supporters. There have also been concerns of targeted action on journalists, Civil society and Human rights organizations.
In November Last year, over 50 people were killed during protests in Kampala following the arrest of the National Unity Platform Candidate Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu. Over the past months, top US politicians have condemned the actions in Uganda.
But Foreign Affairs State Minister Henry Okello Oryem says the statements from the United States is as a result of lobbying by enemies of Uganda. He says Presidential candidates, like Kyagulanyi Robert, are lobbying the United States, well knowing that they cannot defeat Museveni in an election.
He says they will explain to The US what is exactly on the ground.

Well, the USA has election troubles of its own there and that still brewing over the way they were conducted and the eventual outcome of the same and so more than ever, it needs to appreciate strides in developing countries like ours not mentioning that most of the troubles are so due to undue foreign meddlings.
“…. he said in a statement for the Senate record on safeguarding democracy in Uganda.” These guys should first safeguard democracy in their huge country and leave Ugandan matters to Ugandan citizens. Even democracy is losing meaning in the USA and the killings of Black people there selectively by white policemen must be condemned before concerning themselves with Ugandan matters. The imperialists must first solve the racial problem in America without running away from it and seeking to bury their heads in Uganda. It is untenable to internationalize the Ugandan elections. Right now Americans cannot purport to teach us democracy. We are not your students. We will govern ourselves the way we did before the white man came to interfere with our peace on the continent. The “assistance” must not be thought of as buying Uganda or making the country a client state. We are not your slaves to do everything for you the way you want.
Am equally amazed by the apparent recent discovery of Uganda by US politicians. Whereas every political being from there is now pretending to be concerned about Uganda, none raised even a whisper when terrorist Kony was disemboweling pregnant women in northern Uganda. Were the Ugandans then any less of human beings? Has America just discovered that there exits a country called Uganda?? Or is it due to the recently discovered oil? Or is it the refusal by H.E Museveni’s refusal of their LGBT open cheque?
The plans of CIA infiltrating Uganda to cause mayhem through funding NGOs and CBOs are very known by government. USA hopes to cause the like of Arab Spring, cause the govt to collapse, and install their own puppet which will enable them to take over the country and also use it as a springboard for destabilizing Africa. Because their behavior is suspicious. USA may be a superpower, but we as Uganda also have our own means of getting intelligence, and we have our own friends too. To hell with imperialism. To hell with neocolonialism!!
Nicely put….
It’s C.I.A & Mossad.
The two are “secret cousins”
This LGBT “secret society” is Jewish.

“The Spies of Gideon” (by Gordon Thomas)
If at all the US is able, then you must intervene to confront all the human rights abuses done and still being done to the opposition parties. A lot of people are being killed and tortured. There is no sense of humanity in Museveni’s regime.
when the white Missionaries arrived here upon “Black Earth” (Africa) with “Holy Books” in one hand, the other hand was Holding/offering Guns/weapons to the “Naive Black Rulers”, But Not All where Naive.
King Mwanga in Buganda was Not Naive.
King Kabalega in Bunyoro was Not Naive.
Muserekande Nyiragahumuza, a Royal Queen migrant from Rwanda was Not Naive & many others who Opposed these White Missionaries who arrived with Bibles & Guns to Brainwash the indigenous Africans here, as if we did Not earlier know that this entire Universe had/has its Grand Source/Creator.
We knew these things.
It is Not the white people (Missionaries & Explorers) that “showed us the light” as they make it seem everywhere they go with their Bibles & Guns!
We knew “Katonda” (Buganda)
We knew “Ruhanga” (Ankole)
We knew “imaana” (Rwanda)
And many other African names attributed to the Creator of Heaven & Earth…
The “ARAB Merchants”/Warriors arrived here in “Black land” before the missionaries__
their interests too were very far from “Fairness to the Black Africans” other than mostly establishing a “Foreign Legion based upon a Cult/Culture from the Deserts of Saudi Arabia”.
Whoever has a distorted/”disturbed” mindset that ISLAM is rooted/originates from AFRICA/ABYSSINIA (Ethiopia)/KEMET (Egypt)….must first unlearn All the lies of contemporary “Recorded” History then LEARN afresh the Real “Dark History” of & about WHY the Mighty Ancient Library of Alexandria/Egypt was “Set ablaze” (burnt) by the so_called “Foreign_conquerors/Liberators”;
(“Distorted History”: the allegation that Julius Ceasar from Rome “accidentally” burnt this Great library in Egypt; ofcourse it is a lie that has been formed out of propaganda/distorted “recorded” History that has now made it to be a Truth. Julius Ceasar from Rome where “Contemporary mainstream Christianity” comes from_deliberately destroyed the Great Library in Egypt because he wanted to erase/remove away all the ancient recorded African History and instead establish “Constantine’s Agenda” which ofcourse was to spread the Main Religion Christianity, even if that meant forcefully Destroying other people’s cultures & traditions.
Just imagine the ongoing pain & bloodshed in the middle East between Arabs in Palestine and Jews in Israel. Imagine the extreme Hatred & Deaths that continue to happen on Earth because of Religion.
These foreigners ALWAYS take It upon themselves to first Totally Destroy any mark/record of ancient History/culture in & of the new land/s they are conquering, then these “foreign conquerors/liberators” establish their own Cults/Cultures, Religions/traditions etc….
(We throw away our own cultures/traditions and then adopt these foreigners cultures/traditions.)
The rich Advanced/Western World is the Greatest BULLY of the weak poor low developed lands/countries upon the Earth. Why ? Because being weak always implies being stepped on, Bullied & “enslaved/Controlled by the Strong one/s”.
LGBT Anusmsterdam, senators Engel, Menendez, and Pompeo should stop decoying attention away from the fire in their own backyard to an innocent, democratic Uganda. If they are sincere, I would like to hear them condemn the police at Capitol Hill for fatally shooting a demonstrator. Else, they should zip up about Uganda! With modern technology, there’s no time to classify such hypocrisy. I hope these senators are following what is happening in their own country. To hell with imperialism. To hell with neocolonialism!!
As international headlines continue to expose the hypocrisy of foreign meddlers who choose to disrespect the sovereignty of other nations, we as Ugandans continue to mind our business and focus on moving forward. As law abiding citizens, we remain confident that hooliganism inspired by losers will not interfere with our democratic processes, in contrast to what seems to be the case in paradise:

“Saddened Ugandan”…..
As you quote
Matthew 7:1-5
———————–
It’s very saddening that you can still “cushion your Religious self_ fulfilling prophesies” with & by quoting verses/proverbs of the Now Mighty Global Jewish Agenda/Cult/culture (mainstream/contemporary Christianity)…..
Why Don’t you Quote Higher Wisdom from your Own rich African_Black_heritage….?
(Even as Now during this socalled modern age where/when Most BLACK WOMEN foolishly BLEACH, lighten their Black skin to become more Light skinned, foolishly, ignorantly being victims of “Neo_Colonialism” in the blindness that being “Light skinned” is Superior to being Dark skinned. Do these Black women also Bleach their naturally_Black Vaginal lips to lighten them??)
did our Black GREAT Great GrandMothers use skin lightening/BLEACHING cosmetics/chemicals to lighten their NATURAL black skin as if they are embarrassed of being born black?
is this Our original culture as black Africans? (Being ashamed/embarrassed of our Black skin colour)….?? No, i don’t think if our Original Black Ancestors were given a chance to return to this current madness they would support this black “skin lightening” trend….
did our Black GREAT Great GrandMothers wear TROUSERS like men, the way today’s women wear Trousers??;
I often wonder_how come it’s very uncommon to see men wearing skirts & dresses ??
Is it our indigenous culture/tradition as Black Africans for our Black women to wear Trousers like men? No, i don’t think so. It is a “borrowed cult/culture from somewhere else, somewhere foreign”….
did our Black GREAT Great GrandMothers use “BIRTH Control pills”/contraceptives the way today even young girls not yet 18 years can easily walk into a pharmacy & buy these Dangerous pills ?
(AFRICAN MOTHERS MUST CONSTANTLY ADVISE their daughters to NEVER ever use these pills. These pills are “Poison”; imagine a chemical that enters a woman’s reproductive system & then it alters her oestrogen hormonal cycle. Imagine the long term effects of such in a woman who uses these pills for many years. And do you ever wonder why Most young women today can Not have natural births like our Great Maternal Ancestors did.
For most young or even old women today It’s Now always mostly “C_Section”.
Something dangerous is happening to the women of this generation & will possibly continue worsening in the coming future generation/s & No one wants to talk about these things, the same way the Developed/Western world legalizes ABORTION, Homosexuality etc & then they bring their madness here & they want it to be so normal here like it is in their socalled developed world),
But is All this madness of theirs our culture here as indigenous Black Africans ? No.
As you Quote your Jewish Bibilical quotes/verses, are you aware one of the socalled Human Rights Group currently “clandestinely promoting political dissent” here has not just “American strings” but also bears
“Jewish undertones”……

Does your Jewish cult/culture (religion) you affectionately quote support “LGBT+ sexual orientations”….???
(Even if am Not a fan of these “Legions” & All their cult_based indoctrinations…..i have Never come across a Christian or Islam oriented writting or teaching that Openly supports LGBT sexuality in humanity….)
As Africans, we “throw away” our own cultures/traditions and then adopt these foreigners cultures/traditions.
“Saddened Ugandan”….
You will continue being sad for as long as you continue on in your “Religious False Comfort Zone/s”….
Enter “those zones (buildings)”, the kind/s of Pastor Aloysius Bugingo “fraternity circles”/churches or WATOTO establishment/s….& hear these “Self Proclaimed Ordained Masters/Pastors” screaming/commanding at their “SLAVES” to collect Billions of money (Sacrifices for God, but in truth these monetary sacrifices are mostly for these Masters/Pastors’ comfort/wealth which they shamelessly collect from their multitude of “SLAVES”/WORSHIPPERS__some of whom walk long distances back home peniless on bare foot, meanwhile as they came to church they bypassed hungry beggars by the road to the church, they ignored the beggars begging hands, but they have instead taken All the money they had to another human being to pray for their Prosperity)….
What kind of insanity is this?
i guess It’s being possessed by a certain well masked/hidden Demon….
“PROSPERITY GOSPEL IS A DEMON”.
(Materialism being “Sugar_coated SLAVERY”)
_God, Greed, and the (Prosperity) Gospel:

_”RELIGION CAN NEVER REFORM MANKIND BECAUSE RELIGION IS SLAVERY”…..
(Robert Green Ingersoll)
_”RELIGION IS REGARDED BY THE COMMON PEOPLE AS TRUE, BY THE WISE AS FALSE, & BY THE RULERS AS USEFUL”
(Seneca the younger)
Really, if contemporary_mainstream Religion on Earth isn’t SLAVERY,
Then what is it….???
Religion is a “Legion of SLAVES” (Slavery),
No doubt about it.
Belonging to “Any tight_knit Group” (and Not just in religion but also in politics) is Slavery.
(Even marriage is “sugar_coated slavery” but religion doesn’t reveal that to you)….
You are strictly confined and enslaved to the RULES of that particular Group.
Anytime you Break any established_Rule/s of that group, you are penalised or banished away from the Group.
So, where is your innate Human freedom therein?
Non existential really!!

Even if one of the commenters said US should forcus on thier issues,Uganda is also one of them,let them come to rebalate Ugandans from the dictatorship regime of Banyalwanda calling themselves Banyankole.
Shame upon Museveni,commissioning water projects at your age,🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣,people are not stupid as you think,borrowing billions of dollars from IMF for Covid 19.while busy building your personal empire in foregin countries.Soon they all going to be frezzed,remember and forcus to what happened to your late friend Gadaffi,just days left to follow him.
Joel,
Yo’ very Dense & here’s why assHoles like you are Not just a shame to the entire human species on Earth but Mostly to us the “BLACK ONES” of AFRICA…..
Tell me Mr. Joel,
ARE BANYARWANDA NOT HUMANS LIKE YOU & ME ?
DON’T THEY HAVE RED_BLOOD IN THEM LIKE YOU ?
(Whatever yo Tribe is & am Not interested to know.
Am here at this moment to put you in “your rightful place” for foolishly Hating on other humans purely insanely based upon something so Shallow as TRIBE, RACE, OR RELIGION….)__
Am i a Munyarwanda or Not…?
Maybe yes, Maybe No….
But the evil you have shamelessly displayed here just reveals the very sadistic undertones of “they who shook Hands with the Devil in Rwanda in 1994 as they went about Slaughtering fellow humans like chicken as if it was their crime to be born as Tutsis”
(“SHAKE HANDS WITH THE DEVIL”: The Failure of Humanity in Rwanda_ is a book by Lieutenant-General Roméo Dallaire of the Canadian Forces, with help from Major Brent Beardsley”)….
I Repeat you shameless piece of filth….
ARE BANYARWANDA NOT HUMANS LIKE YOU & ME ?
Why was Barak Obama, an African since his dad’s DNA was purely AFRICAN,
Why was Obama able to Rule in that “White Supremacist territory”….and moreover ruling for 2 terms??
ARE WE REALLY STILL IN THAT AGE OF DISCRIMINATION BASED UPON TRIBE, RACE, RELIGION….?,
Maybe we are_if you consider “Trump’s White Supremacist Group” which finds it unbearable that “Biden’s group” has come in to “Give BLACKS in America an Equal_share withIn Biden’s New administration”….
Regardless,
the way you Mr. Joel are Openly shamelessly “character assassinating other humans because of their Tribe”…is so disturbing…..
And so what….
What if as you say it’s Banyarwanda calling themselves Banyankole….??
ARE YOU AWARE YOU MAY UNKNOWINGLY HAVE THIS VERY “ANCESTRAL HAMITIC_SEED DNA” WITHIN YOU….???
THE HAMITIC HYPOTHESIS;

IN TIME PERSPECTIVE
(BY EDITH R. SANDERS)…..
Are you even aware Most Humans like you, me or any others do have predominantly “Foreign Ancestral_Seed DNA” within their very Bloodline….
I will Boldly ask you,
CAN YOU TRACE YHE VERY “SEED/ROOT” OF YOUR BLOODLINE/DNA ???
(To trigger yo’ Dense ignorance: Do you recall the different indigenous Migrations that entered AFRICA from the “other Worlds”, meanwhile some of the ethnic Groups that where here where migrating Out of AFRICA to the “outside worlds”…..)
Now to your other Gross INSANITY/dementia when you boldly, “albeit with distorted facts” publicize your ignorance about Museveni supposedly “borrowing billions of dollars from IMF for Covid 19. while busy building his personal empire in foregin countries”.
IF YOU ARE PUT UNDER “LEGAL OATH” RIGHT NOW TO PRESENT AUTHENTIC EVIDENCE THAT MUSEVENI HAS USED BORROWED COVID_19 MONEY FROM IMF TO BUILD HIS PERSONAL EMPIRE IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES….
Can you categorically Present the Authentic evidence to Support your Bogus UNVERIFIED Claims ?
DID MUSEVENI REALLY RUN TO IMF TO BORROW COVID_19 MONEY OR WAS THIS IMF’s INITIATIVE TO MOST AFRICAN COUNTRIES LIKE UGANDA etc ….???

Supposing there is a thief that’s been grabbed in your neighbourhood, and “due JUSTICE” is being administered upon them,
Mr.Joel….
Are you going to participate in the KILLING of this thief….?
ARE YOU GOING TO WANT “BLOOD TO STAIN YOUR HANDS” since you believe you have been so verily wronged so you must Stone, beat & burn the thief to Death….???
BY THE WAY YOU ARE OPENLY “ATTACKING” BANYANKOLE OR BANYARWANDA…..
It’s clearly evident you have No guilty conscious at the possibility of picking up a Machete & slaughtering another human being because of their tribe or because you believe they have wronged you so deeply that your Revenge/Justice upon them is or Must be death….
Foolishly asserting NATO is around the corner….
Do you think if NATO’s Planes start throwing bombs/missiles here….they will only target State_House Entebbe or Nakasero….?
(And what if the first bomb/missile lands in your neighbourhood, on your house actually????)
DO YOU FIRST THINK DEEPLY ABOUT THESE CRAZY SCENES BEFORE YOU PRESENT THEM TO THE WORLD to join in into your Bogus DEMENTIA?
Joel,
PRESENT CLEAR EVIDENCE you MotherFucker that Kony did Not exist in Northern Uganda,
That it was the current president who Murdered people there….
IF YOU ARE PUT UNDER “LEGAL OATH” RIGHT NOW TO PRESENT AUTHENTIC EVIDENCE THAT MUSEVENI KILLED PEOPLE IN NORTHERN UGANDA,
Can you Present that Authentic evidence you Fool….???
DO YOU HAVE AUTHENTIC EVIDENCE TO SUPPORT THIS???
WHY DO YOU ALLOW E_MOTION TO PLAY ON YOUR CONSCIOUS OR SUBCONSCIOUS ABOUT SUCH VERY SENSITIVE ISSUES ???
