The U.S.A and U.N the very same global powerhouses that have long propped up this senile, power-hungry Museveni after aiding and abetting his illegitimate rise to power, are finally fed up with him.
In an unusual turn of events, earlier this week the U.N issued a lengthy report condemning war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in South Sudan by soldiers under Museveni’s command in the country he effectively influences.
Among the reported crimes are the use of chemical weapons against civilian populations and airstrikes that killed and severely burned civilians about a year ago.
Those attacks particularly targeted densely populated civilian areas, predominantly affecting Nuer communities in opposition-affiliated regions.
Hours after the U.N. report was released, U.S. Senator Jim Risch (R–Idaho), Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, echoed its concerns and urged Washington to consider reassessing its relationship with Museveni’s bloody regime.
“Uganda has shifted from a reliable security partner to an exporter of brutality. This evidence should kickstart a reassessment of our bilateral relationship,” Senator Risch posted on X.
“The Admin has implemented serious repercussions for those committing atrocities in South Sudan, and this should be no different,” he added.
Last year, Amnesty International also reported that Museveni had violated a 2018 U.N. arms embargo that prohibits member states from providing most forms of military assistance to South Sudan, including weapons and personnel.
It is also worth recalling that the regional destabilizer Museveni has long been at the center of conflicts that have plunged the region into turmoil.
In Sudan, Museveni has played a treacherous role surrounding the 2005 death of General Dr John Garang, the leader of the Sudan People’s Liberation Army (SPLA). General Garang’s death “officially reported” as a helicopter raised emotions but also deepened divisions among South Sudanese.
Museveni will soon be held accountable for his crimes in the courts of law.
