Uganda President Yoweri Museveni has lauded the significant contributions of Indian returnees to his country’s economic development. At the summit of the Non-Aligned Movement held in Kampala, Mr. Museveni recognized their notable accomplishments.
Delving into Uganda’s historical context, with a specific focus on the expulsion of Asians, primarily Indian Ugandans, during the rule of Idi Amin, President Museveni acknowledged the regrettable mistakes made by the government at that time. He said, Amin’s actions, which included severing ties with India, had adverse effects on Uganda. Amin’s actions led to the expulsion of skilled individuals who were actively involved in various sectors, including sugar, hotels, and steel production.
