President Yoweri Museveni to engage U.S. over Iran sanctions
Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni said that he will seek clarification from the Obama administration over possible sanctions against Iran to get a better understanding of the debate over the country's contested nuclear program before making a decision on the dispute.When asked what Uganda's position is on the sanctions, Museveni said: "We are just students on this matter. It is a debate I have not been following." Mister presidnet!!! where have you been?!! He has recently sought guidance from British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and Iranian Foreign Minister Manounchehr Mottaki "to hear from them why they are in dispute over nuclear use."
"Now I'm going to engage the United States to hear their version, then come back to and consult with our African brothers whom I represent on the U.N. Security Council," Museveni said.
Uganda is a non-permanent member of the U.N. Security Council. Museveni, however, noted that Uganda will be not be pushed by any of its donors saying, "We are not agents of the West on the U.N. Security Council -- we are representatives of Africa and we follow what Africa decides."
Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who arrived in Uganda on Friday to seek support for his country's controversial nuclear program, confirmed discussing the sanctions, which he described as a "joke."
Museveni, on the other hand, called for a "nuclear weapons-free world," defending nations' rights to have access to nuclear technology, but only for "peaceful purposes" such as medical uses. I understand that nuclear energy is one of the cheapest and most beneficial, really dangerous but if used wisely, it has great benefits, but of all people you had to attach with, The Iranian President!? Why Museveni? Why? I don't trust those guys nah ah..
During a visit to Tehran last year, Museveni invited Iranian investors to build an oil refinery in Uganda's northwest region, which is believed to hold at least 2 billion barrels of commercial oil.(Ohhhhh..noow i get it...politics, do for me i do for you) Museveni has said Uganda is looking for partners with technical expertise to set up a refinery. Oil-rich Iran will also fund a housing complex and a tractor assembly plant near the capital, Kampala.
Ahmadinejad is now a brother.Join the world and the brothers in Africa. Even the Chinese are doing the brother thing in Nigeria. Less drones more tractors ya thats it brother and support clean nuclear power
