States
Delays in the delivery of voting materials, reports of
pre-checked ballots and vote buying, ongoing blockage of social media sites,
and excessive use of force by the police, collectively undermine the integrity
of the electoral process. The Ugandan people deserved better. We are also
concerned by the continued house arrest of opposition presidential candidate
Kizza Besigye. We call for his immediate release and the restoration of access
to all social media sites.
We encourage those who wish to contest the election
results to do so peacefully and in accordance with Uganda

Inasmuch as I do not condone election malpractice, I am asking the US to hands off African Governments' elections. The thrust of the Obama administration is to install Governments that are Muslim and pro gay marriage. It has happened in Nigeria and the gospel is being spread to other African countries. I have nothing against gays but I do not want their rights to impede others'.
ReplyDeleteThere is I don't get here. President Yoweri Museveni is one of the strongest opponents of gay relationships.
DeleteThe speed with which the US commended this election should serve as eye-opener to the Ugandan opposition leader, Kizza Besigye. It should serve as a lesson to all other opposition leaders across Africa always depending on the West to realise their goals. At the end of the day, permanent interest will dictate their stand. I hope somebody like Morgan Tsangirai in Zimbabwe is observing.
