Human Rights Watch has remained an ineffective and useless voice in the world because it concerns itself with non essentials at the expense of essentials. While thousands of Rwandese perished in the genocide; it remained silent. Now it is vocal when Uganda and civil society groups are opposing one of the western – neo colonial tools – homosexuality. The thinking that poor countries must always embrace all sorts of rubbish from sick societies in order to benefit from the so called aid is revealing and suspect.

The immediate problems facing our people have to do with poverty, diseases (some imported to enrich multi national drug companies) and geopolitical inspired conflicts. Human Rights Watch should focus on such issues rather than irrelevancies. We should support good intentions. Fighting homosexuality is a good thing. If you do not believe me, go and consult the savages (wild animals) in the wilderness, they will educate you on what is normal and natural.

Why should aid to Uganda have a price tag of embracing homosexuality? If homosexuality is natural, why should it be preached and initiated? Anything natural does not need to be defended: it is universally recognized. The Uganda government should speak up loud and be encouraged to stand for our African values with or without the US aid. Human rights initiatives should bear in mind that there is such a thing as natural law.

So, Human Rights Watch should first of all lecture the US government as regards its human rights record in the world. It is our rights as Africans to live as Africans; free from the dictates of perverts and the anti –human movements.

Uganda, stay alert and allow sanity to reign. Without US aid Uganda came into existence: we are a country of people, not a rubbish pit!
