The United States has in the past targeted individual sanctions in place for nine African countries, including Burundi, the Central African Republic, Cote d’Ivoire, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Eritrea, Somalia, Sudan, South Sudan, Uganda, and Zimbabwe, citing human rights abuse and a lack of democratic governance.
Over time, America has been parading itself as a democratic country and has always acted as the number one promoter of democracy and moral police, especially in African countries.
They have always displayed themselves as benchmarks for free and fair electoral processes and human rights.
In 2016, when Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton, the Democrats accused Trump of rigging the election using Russian hackers to manipulate the voting system in what was termed ‘Project Lakhta’.
The violent demonstrations on Capitol Hill on January 6, 2021, left scores dead and properties destroyed as the pro-Trump Republicans protested the vote rigging by the radical Democrats in favor of Joe Biden.
Ever since Trump declared his political comeback and promised to contest the November 2024 elections, he has been harassed, and charged with racketeering, and many other charges in a bid to block him from contesting. After the court allowed him to contest, the former president survived an assassination while at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, over the weekend.
Former President Trump has been persecuted severely by Biden’s regime more than his agents in Africa (Uganda), including Bobi Wine, Kizza Besigye, etc., have always claimed.
It’s now the time for African leaders including President Yoweri Kaguta of Uganda, and his counterparts to export quality democratic practicals to the USA and other Western countries.
America, which has been masquerading as a benchmark for democracy worldwide, has been undressed, left naked, wailing in the cold, and exposed to being a country where those in power do anything possible, including assassinations, to get their political opponents out of the race.
If such a thing happened in any African country, America would be the first country to issue statements condemning and intimidating leaders with huge threats against them diplomatically.
I implore the governments of Uganda, South Sudan, Rwanda, etc., and other African countries to issue statements condemning an attempt to assassinate and persecute Trump by the US government.
They should issue travel and security guidelines to their citizens to remain security vigilant while traveling to America.
A country like Uganda has never recorded such a barbaric act as it has happened in the US, where a key opposition challenger to the incumbent president was almost assassinated.
Ideally, America has no moral authority to preach to any country about its theoretical, paper-based democratic policies that are never practiced.
It is high time America and the West stopped their hypocrisy, playing as political head boys and pretending to be clean while hiding their skeletons in the closet. The world has since understood them, and so they need to stop interfering with the sovereignty of other countries.
Sadly, the Capitol Police shot and killed violent protestors during the 2021 Capitol Hill protests, but America is on record for sponsoring violent protests in many Arab and African countries to remove legitimately elected governments.
The preachers of democracy and human rights do not practice what they preach and have been exposed as masters of vote rigging, racism, and harassing political opponents.
The period of America as a head boy and moral police is about to come to an end after the whole world now understands their hypocrisy. The oppressed countries need to embrace BRICS as well as regional blocs to save themselves from hypocrisy.
