AFRICA IS A VERY STRONG CONTINENT; President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni Urges Indians

President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni last evening delivered a lecture of
opportunity to the visiting army officers from the National Defence
College of India who called on him at State House Entebbe.
The officers interacted with the President on the issues of local and
strategic significance.
The 16 officers who arrived in Uganda on 26th May, 2024, are on a
study tour in the country and they have since had an opportunity to
interact with different high ranking officials from various departments and
ministries.
During the lecture, President Museveni engaged officers with the history
of Africa as well as the historical mission of the National Resistance
Movement (NRM).
“When I see people from other parts of the world, my mind wants to give
you information about Africa. Africa is a very strong continent with a lot
of political, social and economic strength. It also has a lot of natural
resources, but we had a problem of organisation by our kings who let us
down,” he explained.
The President pointed out three dimensional mistakes done by the past
political leaders and classified them as philosophical, ideological as well
as strategic, saying that these wasted a lot of time and later suppressed
the people.
President Museveni also explained to the visiting Indian army officers
about the three main strategic approaches of NRM singling out
prosperity, strategic security and brotherhood of African people who are
linked by languages as the core historical mission of the NRM.
“We have been struggling to unite Africa, there has been deliberate
efforts. We emphasised the issue of interest rather than identity to be
able to address the issue of prosperity,” he explained.
He added that there is a need for the officers and everyone to
understand the core roles of the four principles of NRM which include
Patriotism, Pan-Africanism, socio-economic transformation and
democracy.
The High Commissioner of India to Uganda, H.E Mr. Upender Singh
Rawat thanked the President for all the support to the Indian community
in Uganda. He hailed the relationship between India and Uganda.
The Joint Staff- Training and Doctrine in UPDF, Brig. Gen. Alex Olupot
and the receiving General of the delegation noted that the delegation
has toured some important tourist destinations of Uganda since their
arrival including the source of the Nile, the Ministry of Defence, the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs and National Defence college of Uganda,
among others.
The delegation was also accompanied by the Indian Military Advisory
Training Team (IMATT) at the Senior Command and Staff College -
