I was against impunity when it comes to human rights violations. But many of us African leaders now want to leave the Rome Statute as soon as possible because of this Western arrogance.
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.
