It is quite unfortunate that Ms Karen Gibson seemed to be very glad and gratefull when she grows while seeing how the British governments from any political colours grants heavy bloody supports to undemocratic regimes in the world in the history and presently. The former aparthied regime in South Africa for example grew stronger and stronger because of the highly solid supports both physically and diplomatically given by the British regimes! I hope Ms Karen shall not be glad while seeing many innocent people being massacred by weapons given by the British government to those dictators!

The most worrying thing about Uganda is not the Queen’s decision to attend the Commonwealth meeting there. It is the fact that the Commonwealth decided to hold the meeting there in the first place. In 1980, president Museveni rejected the Commonwealth report which demonstrated that the elections had been free and fair, took up arms and fought a five-year bush war that killed 1 million Ugandans. He abolished political parties, amended the constitution to allow him be become life president, arrested his most credible opponent and charged him with rape, terrorism and treason three months before the elections. The Ugandan Supreme Court ruled that the elections had been conducted in breach of the Constitution. It was therefore amazing that the Commonwealth which suspended Mugabe and then hounded him out of the organisation decided to reward Museveni for committing exactly the same breaches against governance, the independence of the judiciary, the rule of law and human right.
