More quotes by Yoweri Museveni
I've never heard an agency say, 'Unless you industrialize I will not support you.'
Yoweri Museveni
If I kissed my wife in public, I'd lose the next election.
Yoweri Museveni
We used to fight the LRA with only one dimensional force that only walks on foot, but now, we have got multiple forces to fight the rebels.
Yoweri Museveni
What is the Geneva Convention on wars! I have never read it.
Yoweri Museveni
I don't know about torture. I have educated myself on many things but on torture I have not known the boundary between what is torture and what isn't torture. I know the NRA tie these people (rebels, etc.) when they catch them. They tie their hands backwards. I am now being told that is torture. It is the traditional method.
Yoweri Museveni
The chaotic situation in Libya is definitely creating a threat. Libya now connects the jihadists in Africa with those in the Middle East and in Afghanistan. This could have been avoided.
Yoweri Museveni
The problems of tribal conflicts in Kenya are much older, caused by the former colonial power. A former American ambassador there once wrote about how the CIA has contributed to the divisions between Kenyans.
Yoweri Museveni
It is very unlikely that Uganda will face a chaotic scenario similar to that in Syria or other places. Incidentally, doctors, scientists, engineers and nurses are highly sought after and find jobs immediately.
Yoweri Museveni
I shall not be deterred by people who don't see where the future of Africa lies. It is the short-sighted people who put their opinions in writing. They don't understand that the future of all countries lies in processing.
Yoweri Museveni
One of the emphases of the new democratic order is no impunity.
Yoweri Museveni
I don't pick up people. This is the work of the police. If there's anybody with a case, it's the police, not me.
Yoweri Museveni
When we sell a kilo of bean coffee in Uganda, we get one dollar per kilo. The same kilo, when it is processed [and sold in Britain], goes for $10, $11 or even more a kilo. That is the same situation that goes for all raw materials.
Yoweri Museveni
We are helping our Somali brothers get rid of these narrow-minded attackers. The Somali people do not support the extremists, they are on the side of our soldiers.
Yoweri Museveni
Some people think that being in government for a long time is a bad thing. But the more you stay, the more you learn. I am now an expert in governance.
Yoweri Museveni
Some intelligence officers filed reports saying that this is a dangerous group, but at one level it was not forwarded, it was just ignored.
Yoweri Museveni
My critics always forget to mention that I was democratically elected, the others were not. Everyone in Uganda can challenge me, everyone can vote, the elections are free. Not many countries have achieved what we did.
Yoweri Museveni
We certainly would be happy for more help, but not at the price of condescension and arrogance. If the Europeans believe they can afford to be less committed in Somalia, please - we can deal with it ourselves.
Yoweri Museveni
Refugee problems can only be solved in the region (of origin) - maybe with a little help from the UN. Governments must provide something for their countries. They need to deliver.
Yoweri Museveni
May the soul of the late President Milton Obote... a long-time member of this parliament, rest in peace.
Yoweri Museveni
None of the parties want this conflict to go on.
