President Museveni has revealed that he cautioned leaders of Sudan prior to the chaos that engulfed the nation this year.
The president made the revelation while meeting members of the Afro-Arab Youth Council, urging them to promote politics of interest so that nations can gain stability.
The President said unlike politics of interest, the politics of identity which is mostly based on tribes and religions is counterproductive, diversionary and at most times, it’s the cause of political instability in countries.
He said, that when he went to Sudan, he told them that they are going to destroy their country because of different ideas. He told them to look at people’s needs instead of their identity. Now Sudan is being destroyed because of wrong ideas.
H.E Museveni revealed that in 1962, Uganda faced the same problem of identity whereby no political party could get a majority vote in elections because all of them had been formed based on religions and tribes.
However, President Museveni was happy to note that Uganda managed to overcome the wrong Ideology because the country had enough time to debate and discuss on how to balance the right ideas.
