Africans must travel to the moon: Uganda president
—-
Yoweri Museveni will never cease to blow me away. I’m not attempting to insinuate that Uganda or the rest of East Africa doesn’t have a right to travel to the moon, but is it really a priority?
Shouldn’t the priority lie in, uh, I don’t know, developing a country that he has helmed for an increasingly-Mugabe-esque twenty-three years? Or maybe directing more funds towards the PRDP to help northern Uganda recover from a war that he himself was explicit in creating. Or maybe he could be working on ways to actually attain a peace deal with Kony. Shouldn’t all of these thing be prioritized over finding out “what developed nations have been doing in outer space”?
And this is why Yoweri Museveni will never stop making my jaw drop.
For more Museveni fun, be sure to check out Texas in Africa’s weekly segment, Museveni Mondays. You need to read the first installment to see what the series is all about.
