Message: [QUOTE="Nehanda, post: 22869, member: 2262"] President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda went to Kenya. He attended a big Luo cultural festival, which was being held for the fourth time. At the festival, Mr. Museveni became a Luo elder. Kenya's President William Ruto and former Prime Minister Raila Odinga also became elders. A Luo leader gave them special items. These showed they were now elders. Mr. Museveni was happy to be an elder. He said it shows that borders are not fair. He wants East African countries to come together more. Long ago, outsiders ruled Africa, but Africans fought back for their freedom. Mr. Museveni said leaders worked for East African unity, but there is still more to do. President Ruto thanked Mr. Museveni for coming. He said the festival brings East Africans together. They are one people, even if they live in different countries. Mr. Odinga wants to lead the African Union. Presidents Museveni and Ruto support him. They say he would benefit all of East Africa, not just Kenya. President Ruto opened a new school. It will help young people learn job skills. A sign will say Mr. Museveni was there when it opened. The leaders said Africans should trade more with each other. Right now, they trade more with outsiders. Opening borders would help Africans do business. The festival lasted for three days. Luo people came from many countries. They celebrated their culture with special clothes, food, and dances. Later, Mr. Museveni and Mr. Ruto opened a new stadium named after a famous Luo leader. Two soccer teams played a friendly match there. Mr. Museveni told East Africans to make money in four ways: farming, using computers, providing services, or making things in factories. He said this would improve their lives. The writer did not use certain words like "this," "so," or "while." They kept things simple and clear. The story explains how leaders want to bring East Africans together as one people. [/QUOTE]
