Uganda declines united African government
2007-07-04
(SomaliNet) Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has rejected an African government in the near future, disagreeing that the people across the continent are too diverse. He, however, said there were several areas where African countries could cooperate. “In Uganda, we are not in favour of forming a continental government now,” Museveni told the over 40 heads of state, gathered in the Ghanean capital Accra for the 9th African Union Summit. “While economically I support integration with everybody, politically we should only integrate with people who are either similar or compatible with us.”
Since the idea's being pushed by a couple bloody-handed dictators who've made their nations laughingstocks — to whit, Muammar Qaddaffy and Bob Mugabe — the Ugs are more than willing to pass, having had their experience with the late Idi.

#1  The thought of an African Continental Goverement brings a great poster at Despair Inc to mind.
