What a year it’s been in Africa...and then Uganda - by Melusi Sibanda

Warning- this article was written in anger.

What a year it’s been in Africa. 

Robert rigged the Zimbabwean election. The African Union applauded him.

Morsi got jailed – damn Morsi, you used to be the man!!

Central African Republic, yet another religious conflict – stop killing each other WTF!!!

South Sudan – you just got your shit together – what the hell’s going on now? Haven’t you had enough war yet?  Let’s cut that crap out and democratise the country. Come on Juba!!! Guns will never be the answer.

We lost our beloved father Madiba....

Days after Madiba’s burial UGANDA announces the most archaic, homophobic and outrageous anti-gay law! If you are gay it is punishable by life in prison. The ‘reason’ for the passing of this grotesque decree is;-

“Because we are a God-fearing nation, we value life in a holistic way. It is because of those values that members of parliament passed this bill regardless of what the outside world thinks.” MP David Bahadi


First of all Fuck you MP David Bahadi you bigoted dogmatic swine!!!

The God card, seriously!!! After Madiba – a man who promoted tolerance for all dies the Ugandan Parliament has nothing better to do than persecute people living their innocent lives. This has seriously riled me to the point that I will support any decision made by International Agencies and States to stop sending all forms of aid to Uganda with immediate effect. This is an extremely serious issue and cannot be ignored as people’s lives are at risk. These backward idiots in the Ugandan Government are forcing their beliefs on others based on a bible which doesn't even stress homophobia as much as stealing oxen from your neighbour or wearing two fabrics woven differently.

As Human rights activists it is extremely important to speak out against such injustices, wherever it is located, and states which allow such medieval nonsense to prevail should be criticised and held up to ridicule by all who disagree fundamentally with this ridiculous legislation.

UGANDA HAS FAILED ITS OWN PEOPLE! STOP THE AID IMMEDIATELY!!
