Is Yoweri Museveni a dictator with nothing left to promise Uganda ? ....Embarrassed Africa to please his fellow African dictators in attendance !
Museveni was not right to castigate the ICC in his speech that caused Western Diplomats to walk out in protest . They said ; "We believe that walking out in protest is an appropriate reaction to a head of state mocking efforts to ensure accountability for victims of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity."
US, European and Canadian envoys left abruptly when Mr Museveni made disparaging comments about the International Criminal Court (ICC).
The US state department said they had also objected to the
presence of Sudan's Omar al-Bashir at the ceremony.
Mr Bashir is wanted by the ICC on charges of genocide.
State department spokeswoman Elizabeth Trudeau said: "In response to President Bashir's presence and President Museveni's remarks, the US delegation, along with representatives of the EU countries and Canada, departed the inauguration ceremonies to demonstrate our objections." Added Excerpts from BBC .

In his address, Mr Museveni described the ICC as "a
bunch of useless people" and said he no longer supported it.
