Why The U.S. Doesn’t Cut Off Uganda
Helen Epstein has a must-read in the New York Review about Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni (pictured), who, among many other notorious things, just signed his country’s hideous anti-gay bill. Why hasn’t the U.S. completely cut off the flow of money to him? In part because Museveni, now sixty-nine, has long been an important US ally in the war on terror — his troops have been deployed on America’s side in Somalia, Sudan, Afghanistan, and Iraq.
