Museveni Tells Troops Ditch Tribe Drama Get Real Money

President Museveni told army officers at Karama training school to protect Uganda from tribal politics. The Commander spoke Tuesday at State House Entebbe about Africa's colonial history. European powers controlled the continent because African leaders stayed weak and divided. Museveni warned against identity politics that splits communities apart across the nation. Officers must focus on bringing different groups together for national progress.

The President said prosperity comes from making goods and selling them with profit. Aid money cannot build real wealth for African countries or communities. Uganda produces more sugar and milk than people consume inside the country. Farmers need bigger markets beyond their local areas to sell extra products. Regional trade helps communities earn better money from their hard work.

Museveni wants East African countries to join together for stronger security. Colonial borders created problems that hurt cooperation between neighboring nations. Leaders like Nyerere and Karume successfully united to form Tanzania over 60 years ago. Brotherhood between Bantu and Nilotic peoples can overcome tribal divisions across the region. Political unity protects everyone from outside threats and economic problems.
