Museveni Follows Ruto’s Lead; Identifies Financiers of Tuesday Demonstrations in Uganda
Museveni Follows Ruto’s Lead; Identifies Financiers of Tuesday Demonstrations in Uganda: Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni on Saturday night accused foreign powers of a scheme to finance anti-government protests in his country.
Museveni made a televised address after reports circulated that youth would demonstrate in the capital Kampala as well as other parts of Uganda.
This comes after President William Ruto accused the United States-based Ford Foundation for Funding the Protests.
While urging the youth not to be taken advantage of by the foreign powers, Museveni warned that
if they do not listen to his advice, they will be met with brute force.
He warned that holding demonstrations in Kampala while he was the President was akin to playing with fire.
“What right do you have to seek to generate chaotic behaviour? We are busy producing wealth, you are getting cheap food, and other people in other parts of the world are starving,” he confronted the Ugandan youth.
“And you here, you want to disturb us, you are playing with fire. We cannot allow you to disturb us.”
Incidentally, the Ugandan protests are planned for Tuesday at the same time Kenyan youth have planned their demonstrations
