Yoweri MuseveniI 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 MuseveniI 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 MuseveniWe 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 MuseveniWe do not accept the Western way of thinking that there are two ways of life. At the same time, the police (here) are not chasing gays. In Africa, sexuality is something very private, even for heterosexuals. Heterosexuals are not parading! But gays want to behave like exhibitionists.
