MUSEVENI HOSTS AFRICAN PARLIAMENTARIANS CALLS FOR UNITY & SELF REFLECTION TO DEFEAT IMPERIALISTS

President Museveni hosted and welcomed a delegation of African parliamentarians at State House.

Addressing the delegates, President Museveni highlighted the impact of African weaknesses on the rise of imperialism, stressing the need for self-reflection and unity among Africans.

During his speech, President Museveni pointed out that Africa's vulnerabilities have allowed imperialists to exploit the continent, making it imperative for Africans to address internal issues such as greed and disunity.

“Therefore, the main problem is ourselves, the Africans. We give the greedy opportunities to thrive. For example, if you get drunk on the roadside and you sleep on the road and a thief comes and takes money from your pocket, yes, you may say that the thief is to blame because he was not Christian enough and did not take advantage of you. But how about you, who made yourself drunk and helpless? Aren’t you the primary guilty party? The imperialists are weak, they are not strong, and they overestimate themselves, so we must act now,” the president said.

The meeting coincided with the conclusion of the three-day second African Inter-Parliamentary Conference hosted by the Uganda Parliamentary Forum. It was focused on family, values, and sovereignty and held at Imperial Resort Beach Hotel in Entebbe.
