Uganda President Yoweri Museveni has lashed out at the West for what he calls oppression of the third world and imposed ideologies.

“We are, therefore, not impressed and cannot be part of the morbid bigotry of uni-ideological thinking of this or that type. The universe has been here for the last 30 billion years and human society has been here for the last four and a half million years. You, therefore, should not have the audacity to impose on the society you live in, let alone the world, your narrow uni-ideological orientation,” he said.
