The Swedish Finance minister Anders Borg was yesterday visited Uganda where he warned the Ugandan president Yoweli Kaguta Museveni on poor human rights record most especially that of  the recent signed law punishing Guys and deteriorating human rights record in Uganda.
 
Anders Borg, Sweden's Finance Minister warned Uganda on Tuesday in Kampala, that a new bill imposing harsh penalties for homosexuality could represent a financial risk for the east African economy.
He also said this while commenting on  poor human rights record in Uganda  "It represents a financial risk for Uganda to get this type of reputation," he said.
 
It's in that regard that Minister Anders Borg continued in Rwanda where he met president Kagame and warned him on worst human rights record the Rwandan president has continued to dwell in , including arbitrary arrests ,assassinations and reaching to an extent of using power as president to abduct Rwandan refugees with UNHCR Refugee status  in Uganda where they fled too .
 
Rwanda's Security and intelligence have continued to enjoy impunity and shield of there Ugandan counterpart where it's killing squad has continued to disguise under diplomacy .
 
Sweden is among Rwanda and Uganda's main donors and contribute in development of Human rights, Democracy and
poverty eradication where projects worthy Rwf37.6bn where signed on side of Rwandan government .

Introduction Louise Mushikiwabo veut un troisième mandat à la tête de l'Organisation internationale de la Francophonie. Son annonce, faite bien avant l'émergence d'autres candidats, rappelle une tactique familière en Afrique : affirmer qu'on a le soutien populaire sans jamais le prouver publiquement. La méthode est rodée. Des dirigeants africains l'utilisent depuis des décennies pour prolonger leur règne.
