Ugandan opposition leader and the NUP President Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu alias Bobi Wine has outrageously called off the hypocrisy of the international community funding what he termed as the atrocities of the Museveni’s evil regime.
Bobi was reacting to the World Bank decision to suspend funding of new loans to Uganda over the recently signed Anti-Gay law. He said it is a contemptible cowardice to the World Bank to halt funding for Uganda over the Anti-Homosexuality law despite multiple challenges facing Ugandans.
“The World Bank is only and only holding back on the loans over the Anti-Homosexuality law as if it is the only issue here in Uganda,” Bobi Wine said recalling brutal killings of innocent Ugandans in different parts of the country.
According to him, international communities such as the World Bank have failed short of respecting human rights in Uganda by watching over president Museveni’s regime committing crimes against humanity.
“We want our human rights especially the right to life to be respected first before any right. In 2016, Museveni under Gen. Peter Elwelu massacred hundreds of people in Kasese, the international community did not do anything and when our comrades in the FDC led by the then Leader of Opposition, Hon. Winnie Kiiza sued the president to ICC, he was not indicted.” Bobi challenged.
He argued that the World Bank should interest itself in other atrocities of the regime than fabricating the Anti-Gay law.
“While we welcome sanctions against Museveni, we call out the hypocrisy of the international community. We want them to know that our rights to life natter alot,” Bobi Wine said.
He added; “You should not look at Gay rights as the only rights in Uganda.”
The musician turned politician noted that all human rights are rights and therefore, should be respected, promoted and protected by everyone.
He accused the International Community of selective application of human rights laws.
“We continue to say to say to the international community once again that all human rights are rights and you should not be selective in the application of human rights law,” he said
