Africa-Press – Uganda. As the country looks forward to the 2026 General elections, Peace Service Ambassador, Milton Kambula has appealed to Ugandans to desist from politics of tribalism and religious intolerance to politics that seeks to unit and revive Africa.
Kambula who is the president of the Global Peace Foundation (GPF) Uganda chapter believes that only leaders that focus on Africa should be given the opportunity to lead and foster a vision of a United Africa.
While advocating for peace and unity as a bedrock of Africa’s transformation, Kambula told the masses during a debate that the continent needs visionary leders to drive the transformation agenda as compared to those with no vision whose focus is the extension and survival of their regimes.
Kambula used the examples of leaders like the late Thomas Sankara, Muammar Gaddafi and Julius Nyerere whose vision for a strong and United Africa cost their lives at the hands of the enemies of the continent.
He noted that all is not lost for Africa citing out leaders like the current interim President of Burkina Faso, Capt. Ibrahim Traore who has stood up and resisted foreign exploitation by distancing the country from France the former colonial masters.
“Capt. Traore’s administration in a short while has emphasized economic self-sufficiency especially in areas of Agriculture and mining. His presidency hasn’t allowed intimidation from the Global north whose vision is to keep us disunited so that they can continue milking the continent,” Kambula said.
The peace ambassador urged that it is time for Africa to go back to the foundation and say no to any politics of division but build constitutions that advance Africa’s vision of ‘Ubuntu’- living for the greater good.
“I encourage Ugandans to understand that our disunity, pulling each other down doesn’t even help us. Rather we must unite now all religions, tribes, political parties to base on the agenda of uniting Uganda,” Kambula noted.
He called on Ugandans not to vote for leaders or political parties that call for divisions based on tribes and religions.
“Africa needs Visionary leaders who are able to see the end from the beginning; they must see 400 years from now, we no longer need visions of just two years. No. We got to have intergenerational, long range vision,” he observed.
Kambula’s comments come at a time when some leaders in the country are fanning tribal sentiments which may further divide Ugandans.
