During his speech in 2018 Global Peace Conference in Munyoyo at the Speak Resort Hotel on Thursday, the Ugandan president pointed out a few ways in which the West has tried to impose it’s cultures to the local people and many have resulted into conflicts.
For instance Europeans have imposed homosexuality to the local people and they expect us to support it,’’said Museveni.
It’s good to give respect to everyone’s identity rather than imposing your identity on other people.
Museveni continued and said many years a go in 1880s, the West inflicted lots of things on African people such as convincing them to agree in fighting each other ( religious wars ), according to Nile Post.
President Museveni gave many examples including the Democratic Republic of Congo and Iran where the West planned to either kill or overthrow the elected president and Prime Minister Lumumba Patrice and Mossadegh Muhammed because they didn’t like those leaders.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
