These and many others make Uganda a unique country on its own with its positive friendly and hospitable citizens, endowed with unmatchable fauna and flora, the (pearl of Africa) with a modern revived Buganda Kingdom proud of its distinctive upheld cultural identity and heritage, remains the best tourist destination in the world.

Besides, Uganda’s current President Tibuhaburwa Museveni who is about to cap 38  years in power, since January 1986, has impacted the country both positively and negatively in various spheres. In most of African countries, any public pronouncement made by the president is more often than not taken as a decree by citizens. This coupled by the fact that the President is the commander in chief of the armed forces, makes his pronouncements carry that obeyance exhibited by a dog to its master.

“I don’t know about torture. I have educated myself on many things but on torture I have not known the boundary between what is torture and what isn’t torture. I know the NRA tie these people (rebels, etc.) when they catch them. They tie their hands backwards. I am now being told that is torture. It is the traditional method.” ~ Yoweri Museveni

“If I kissed my wife in public, I’d lose the next election.” ~ Yoweri Museveni

“I don’t pick up people. This is the work of the police. If there’s anybody with a case, it’s the police, not me.” ~ Yoweri Museveni

“The Islamists had control over territory that was about half the size of the Federal Republic of Germany. For years, we have been putting the lives of our troops on the line, we have taken huge losses and the Europeans cut the budget? If money is more important than the lives of our children, what else is this than the usual arrogance and superficiality? And where is all this terror coming from? It is a result of mistakes the West committed in Pakistan and Afghanistan in the 1980s, when they armed the Islamic rebels against the Soviet troops.” ~ Yoweri Museveni

“When the problems in Libya started, the African Union set up a committee to address the situation. We urgently advised the Europeans not to intervene. You have done so anyway. Now we are seeing absolute chaos there.” ~ Yoweri Museveni
