| Uganda accuses U.S. of pushing 'LGBT agenda' using aid after new round of sanctions |
| 2023-12-07 |
| [AFRICANEWS] Uganda staunchly criticized Wednesday (Dec. 06) the United States’ recent expansion of visa restrictions on its officials, interpreting this as an attempt by Washington to enforce an "LGBT agenda" in Africa. These new sanctions unveiled earlier this week target Ugandan individuals who were not formally identified. According to the U.S., they are responsible for "undermining democracy and suppressing marginalized groups, including the LGBTQ community." Henry Okello Oryem, State Minister for Foreign Affairs, insisted his country would not backpedal on the adoption of its bill. He told the AFP that there was no doubt regarding the fact that "some groups in the U.S.A and in the West" seek to bring [Africans and Ugandans] "to accept same sex relations using aid and loans" as leverage. |
