I would like to invite African leaders to sit down and exchange views on how to build strength in Africa,\u201d Mr Museveni remarked during an anniversary to mark his 36th year in power.<\/p>\n<p>The African continental bloc has witnessed about ten \u2013both peaceful and bloody- military power grabs over the last decade with at least five of these in the Sahel States.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen there\u2019s a military coup like those in Mali, Guinea Bissau, Guinea. Those soldiers are not accountable to anyone since nobody elects them. We would have been very far if Idi Amin (former Ugandan President) didn\u2019t waste a lot of our time,\u201d the 77-year old political veteran who captured power in 1986 remarked at Kololo Independence Grounds in Kampala.<\/p>\n<p>Ringing a bell for African unity, Mr Museveni rallied West African states to &#8220;consult and bank on Uganda\u2019s experience in dealing with political instability.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHere, we have surely built some strength. We have about 6,000 soldiers in Somalia. We shall get in touch with African leaders to see how to harmonize our thinking,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>President Museveni inspects a guard of honour by different Ugandan armed forces during the 36th ruling NRM party anniversary- also known as the Liberation Day at Kololo Grounds on January 26, 2022. PHOTO\/ABUBAKER LUBOWA<\/p>\n<p>Although Mr Museveni described an African army putsch as \u201ctime wasting [issues],\u201d he admitted they can\u2019t easily be dealt with as the orientation of coup plotters is anonymous sometimes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnother problem is that they are even ignorant but they pretend to know. They talk about war but they don\u2019t even know how to fight,\u201d he opined in sheer disapproval of junta regimes that are now in charge of more than six nations in the continent of over 1.3billion people.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/uganda\">Uganda<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
