Ugandans leaving in the United States are determined to continue with a series of demonstrations against President Yoweri Museveni’s government. This followed link from inside sources that Mr. Museveni had requested for a State official visit to the United States which he failed to secure. President Museveni was previously in Trinidad and Tobago where he had gone to represent Uganda in the 38th Common Wealth Heads Of Governments Meeting (CHOGM) from where he headed to Havana in Cuba to discuss about “Climate Change” with different governments officials from Latina America. His strongest remark while meeting the press in Havana was “climate change threatens the very existence of some countries particularly small island nations that could disappear under sea” and he was glad that it has become a global issue to solve collectively.
However, the failure of Mr.Museveni’s entry into the United States did not stop the masses of Ugandan from all over the United States East Coast states to carry out a series of demonstrations in Washington DC, New York and Massachusetts from the 3rd -5th December 2009 respectively. In a document written by Mr. Tendo Kaluma and signed upon by over 300 Ugandans, a lot of concerns that ranging from violation of Human Rights which included suppression of media houses, detention, torture and killing of innocent people in safe houses, failure to rehabilitate the northern parts of the country, changing of the Constitution from time to time, passing unpopular laws in the parliament and corruption among others were presented to UN official and a number of media houses as a contribution to awakening the world about Uganda’s unpopular political system. “We shall continue with these series of demonstrations every month because it is our duty as Ugandans in the diaspora to let world know about all the atrocities committed our government and we are looking forward to seeing President Museveni face the ICC for war crimes” said one Robert Kabuye from Boston.
