Africa Must Think Of How To Secure It Self – Museveni

Posted by: lukwago J in Uganda news November 19, 2019

At State House Entebbe this afternoon, the president of Uganda, Yoweri Kaguta Museveni launched the process of consulting on the viability of an East African Political Federation, which is being undertaken by a committee of experts led by Chief Justice Emeritus Benjamin Odoki.

Whereas prosperity can be achieved through economic integration, strategic security is difficult to achieve when we stay as separate countries. A political federation gives us a strong centre of gravity.

If we can insure cars, insure houses, why don’t we insure Africa? What is the insurance policy for Africa against aggression? The world powers are dominating us in space, water and land. Africa must think of how to secure itself,’said Museveni.

The other reasons for our unity have to do with economic prosperity of our people and cementing our fraternity. A big market is important and so is strengthening our brotherhood. I wish the Odoki team all the best as they start this journey of consultation and writing a constitution for the federation,’he added.
