Afghan Refugees: Details of 45 minute phone call between Museveni and USA’s Biden

In a phone conversation with US Vice President Joe Biden, Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni imposed stringent restrictions on the country’s acceptance of Afghan migrants. The telephone conversation lasted 45 minutes.

The lifting of sanctions against several Ugandan dignitaries was one of the severe criteria.
When the US was looking for countries to house Afghan refugees, Biden summoned the US ambassador to Uganda to speak with Museveni about it, because Uganda is home to one of the world’s largest refugee populations.

While Museveni and the US ambassador were conversing, Biden dialed Museveni’s phone number.
Museveni was initially uninterested, but after being graciously persuaded by Biden, Museveni accepted, but only after asking Biden a series of questions, including why they (the United States) were thinking about Uganda and not other countries.

Museveni gave Biden a history lesson on Africa and Uganda in comparison to Europe and Arab countries.
He then reminded Biden of Libya, as well as the instability and mistakes that the United States and other Western countries have produced in many countries as a result of their “big heads” refusing to listen to the people they want to engage with or combat.

Biden requested Museveni to accept his plea after agreeing with him on his submission. A stern Museveni, drinking from his iconic cup, then reminded Biden of the countless wrongs committed by the United States, angering Uganda even further on trivial topics.

After that, Museveni imposed limitations on hosting the refugees. He demanded the US to lift all “stupid” restrictions imposed on Ugandans and to stop cooperating with and aiding the opposition in any form.

The newest visa restrictions imposed by the United States on Ugandan government officials were due to “undermining democracy” during the January election.
In a statement issued in January, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said, “Today I am announcing visa restrictions on those believed to be responsible for, or complicit in, undermining the democratic process in Uganda, including during the country’s January 14 general elections and the campaign period that preceded it.”

As you read this, all of the sanctions against people in the United States, including former police commander Gen Kale Kayihura, have been lifted, and they are allowed to go to the United States or deal with American institutions.

Another requirement Museveni imposed on Biden was that the refugees arrive with nothing and that they be treated equally to all other refugees as soon as they touch foot on Ugandan land.
Biden has been cautioned by Museveni not to send spies or trained personnel to Uganda to start plotting against it.
That is why he has asked for ordinary Afghans to come to Uganda with nothing and be searched and inspected by SFC before being admitted.
