Uganda’s colonel answers British legislator

Deputy government spokesperson, Rtd Col Shaban Bantariza, has challenged British MP Dr Paul Williams [Stockton South, Labour] to come and remove President Museveni from power if he can.

This comment follows MP Williams’ move of influencing the House of Commons to debate the rule of law in the Pearl of Africa.
Dr. Paul Williams claims that after nearly 33 years in power, President Museveni is now a barrier to Uganda’s development.

Shaban however responds stating that Uganda is a sovereign state that can’t dance on tunes of other states.

He also challenged Williams to indicate how the president was a problem, citing that Uganda Under Museveni leadership has achieved more and busy thriving well.

“Dr Paul, President Museveni is a real problem; tarmac from every boarder to boarder, Makerere university graduates have risen from 2,000 to 13,000 today, power generation has risen from 60mw-1kmw, literacy from 43℅-75℅, trade surplus in 2018, 6.1℅ of econ growth, Uganda 4th tourist destination in the world….!!” He stated thereby daring Williams to “Come and Remove him [Museveni]!” if he can.

However this is not the first time the UK MP has attempted to attack our President. In April 2018, he (Paul) also had requested the UK government to ask Museveni to retire, arguing that he has become an impediment to good governance.

How else would you describe this? This is imperialism at its apex. Anyway, what is imperialism? Imperialism is a policy or ideology of extending a nation’s rule over foreign nations, often by military force or by gaining political and economic control of other areas. … However, both are examples of imperialism.

Imperialism has been the most powerful force in world history over the last four or five centuries, carving up whole continents while oppressing indigenous peoples and obliterating entire civilizations. Yet, it is seldom accorded any serious attention by our academics, media commentators, and political leaders.

When not ignored outright, the subject of imperialism has been sanitized, so that empires become “commonwealths,” and colonies become “territories” or “dominions” (or, as in the case of Puerto Rico, “commonwealths” too). Imperialist military interventions become matters of “national defense,” “national security,” and maintaining “stability” in one or another region. In this book I want to look at imperialism for what it really is.
