I'll work with Russians, Yoweri Museveni tells Barack Obama.
POSTED SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 2014 | BY- DAILY MONITOR
Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni has said he will work with the
Russian government because they don't meddle in the internal affairs
of other countries.
The comment follows US President Barack Obama's statement that the
relationship between his country and Uganda would be "complicated" if
Museveni signs the Anti-Homosexuality Bill into law.
However, while commissioning a new flight simulator at the air force
headquarters in Entebbe on Friday, Mr Museveni told Obama to stop
interfering in the affairs of Uganda, adding he will work with Russia
instead of America.
"Russia has worked in Africa since 1917, meaning they have been here
for more than 100 years. I want to work with Russia because they don't
mix up their politics with other country's politics," Mr Museveni
said.
He added: "If you see a person going to another person's home then you
know there is a problem."
"This is my home. You cannot find a man with a bald head like mine in
his home and tell him what you want. Go back to your home," he said in
a veiled reference to President Obama.
"In Ankole, if you find such a thing happening, one will enter his
house and pick his stick."
Mr Obama's warning came a day after President Museveni announced at
the National Resistance Movement (NRM) party caucus retreat in
Kyankwanzi last week that he would assent to the Bill after a
presentation by Ugandan scientists concluded that homosexuality is not
a genetic abnormality, but an adopted sexual behaviour. (READ:

An earlier statement from the White House in Washington quoted Mr
Obama as saying: "The Anti-Homosexuality Bill in Uganda, once law,
will be more than an affront and a danger to the gay community in
Uganda."
However, on Friday, Mr Museveni said: "I would like to discourage the
USA government from taking the line that passing this law will
'complicate our valued relationship' with the USA as President Obama
said.
"Countries and societies should relate with each other on the basis of
mutual respect and independence in decision making. Valued
relationship cannot be sustainably maintained by one society being
subservient to another society."
Mr Museveni thanked Ms Kerry Kennedy, the daughter of former USA
President Robert Kennedy and a human rights activist, who sent him
opinions by scientists from the USA, saying there are some indications
that homosexuality could be congenital.
PRESIDENT MUSEVENI'S POSITION ON HOMOSEXAULITY
What Museveni doesn't want: Those who agreed to become homosexuals for
mercenary reasons (prostitutes) should be harshly punished as should
those who paid them to be homosexual prostitutes. Exhibitionism of
homosexual behaviour must be punished because, in this part of the
World, it is forbidden to publicly exhibit any sexual conduct
(kissing, etc) even for heterosexuals; if I kissed my wife of 41 years
in public, I would lose elections in Uganda.
His appeal to the US: I, therefore, would encourage the US government
to help us by working with our scientists to study whether, indeed,
there are people who are born homosexual. When that is proved, we can
review this legislation. I would be among those who will spearhead
that effort.
Waiting for clarification: The President said: "I have now received
their (scientists from the Department of Genetics, the School of
Medicine and the Ministry of Health) signed document, which says there
is no single gene that has been traced to cause homosexuality."
He added: "What I want them to clarify is whether a combination of
genes can cause anybody to be homosexual. Then my task will be
finished and I will sign the Bill."
