Research has proved it beyond doubt that there is no country in the world assisted by Western developed  countries and has developed socially, economically and politically.
Some of these  assisted countries have even become poorer and   failed states  while others are in endless wars.
Any one seeking Western powers to provide a lasting  solution and create a new positive change in the developing world, it may be so far to reach.
The best example is Liberia  whose Constitution was written by US using Harvad Academicians in 1841 and later the  president  of America   James Monroe helped his son Joseph Roberts  Jeckins whom he produced in the Black   American  to be the first president.
The capital city of Liberia which is  Monrovia was named after him. Liberia is like an extension of USA as the two countries use almost the same  Constitution.
Liberia also uses US dollars as their local  currency.  Liberia land was bought by America Colonisation Society  when it needed to send back  Black Americans to Africa.
The country  is expected to be the Africa  model of the Western  assisted countries. But the country has lived  in wars throughout and the hope to stabilize is far to reach.
President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf tried to keep the country together and  peaceful in her two terms but she was under the  influence and protection of UN which provided most support and protection under United Nations Mission in Liberia (UNMIL).
UN pulled out after two terms of president Johnson and life has become hard again in Liberia under president George Weah.
Before two years in office the country was on fire until elders and many agencies sat and provided temporary peaceful resolutions which is still guiding the president.
Liberia  may need a  peacekeeping mission again as it has been the case. Uganda is among the  African countries to send army for  peace keeping mission in Liberia.
Uganda   sent UPDF to help Liberia get peace  and the first team of 173 UPDF well trained soldiers  arrived in  Liberia in 1994  under the command of Gen. Ivan Koreta. The team was  later re-enforced  with more officers from Uganda who joined forces from other countries. Uganda  did great work in Liberia  which gave it a big name on Africa continent.
Since then, Uganda has become the most instrumental force in peace keeping missions in Africa and beyond.  Liberia has remained unstable yet built on a solid foundation of Western powers.
Africa has lost million  people in wars which would have been  saved by so called super  powers, but they look on when people are being butchered. They always have their  hidden agenda and report late when the biggest damage is already  done and spend most of the time dealing with post war effects and  blamig Africans.
Some of African wars are manufactured in the West to destabilize economies so that they take advantage during  these wars.
Another good case in Africa,  is Rwanda genocide where 800,000   people were killed while the Western powers watched.  During the genocide Americans and the British held biggest positions on the  UN  Security Council but closed doors of their offices when people were being killed in Rwanda and started shouting after killings. They used beaucracy to delay the whole system and when they come to Africa they want things rushed in one day using some undefined terminologies like democracy and human rights.
Rwanda is the biggest lesson to those who think that the Western can help any country to solve problems and fully  develop. Those interested to understand Rwanda case  how  Nations and  United Nations failed to save people  should read more on Rwanda genocide and find the plain  truth and untold ugly stories.
The best book is by a Canadian who headed the UN Mission “Shake Hands with the Devil; The Failure of Humanity in Rwanda” by Lt. Gen. Romeo Dallaire who was Force Commander  UN Assistance Mission for Rwanda.
In his heartbreaking book , he writes that when going to Rwanda thought he  was going to help two warring parties to achieve peace which both sides wanted.
Instead , he and members of his small international force were caught up in a vortex of civil  war and genocide. Dallaire left Rwanda a broken hearted man, disillusioned, suicidal and determined to tell the ugly stories about the genocide which are evil, ugly, bad and heartbreaking.
On arrival back home his first statement “I know there is a God because in Rwanda  I shook hands with the devil, I have seen him, I have smelled him, and I have touched him. I know the devil exists, and therefore I know there is God.
There are many  books on Rwanda but Dallaire who was on the ground and touched devil has the best on Rwanda. There are other best ten books on Rwanda genocide which include;  The Rwanda Crisis, a History of the Genocide ( Gerald Prunier), A People Betrayed ;The Role of the West in Rwanda Genocide (Linda Melvern), A Problem from Hell; America and Age of the Genocide (Samantha  Power), Eye Witness to a Genocide;  United Nations and Rwanda (Michael Barnett), Leave None to Tell the Story; Genocide in Rwanda (Alison Des Forges), We Wish to Inform you that We will  be Killed Tomorrow with Our Families: Stories from Rwanda (Philip Gourevitch), The Shallow Graves of Rwanda (Shaharyar Khan), Guns Over Kigali (Ghanaian Brigadier Henry Anyindoho), Preventing Genocide; How the Early Use of Force might have Succeeded in Rwanda (Colonel Feil) and When Victims Become Killers (Mahmood Mamdan).  United Nations Mission in Uganda and Rwanda (UNOMUR) was in Rwanda to stop the genocide but could not do much as UN failed to provide in the most crucial time of the genocide.
The new world order which was planned in 1990s to destroy the world using different actors  deadly  weapons and  then rebuild it as one nation  working with international alliances,  is now in progress using most sophisticated knowledge which should be noted  watched carefully especially African states.Fransis Fukuyama who  an American advisor on international issues has always warned about imported democracy which cannot be definined in the local context and an  Italian philosopher Giovanni Sartori defined democracy as a pompas description of something that doesn’t exist.
Democracy has been analyzed, defended, ignored, practiced, destroyed and restored,  but still it is a big challenge to the world with many  countries not practicing  it trying  to force other countries to embrace with their own guidelines.
The Western powers are using this as an entry point and motivate opposition and other forces  to rise up and demand for undefined democracy and human rights.
Democracy and human rights advocated for is not anywhere making most countries trying to put them place. Laws and policies which are in place based on specific countries are being challenged by the West to create an entry point.
They claim to be providing a solution yet only taking advantage and take control. It is all about economic benefits and nothing beyond and it can be well explained looking at countries where they have worked.
In March 2021 United States Country  released Uganda   country Report on human Rights  with a lot of distortions about elections as if they had limited or were fed with wrong  information. For example they never captured Covid19 as the biggest  challenge during elections. One may wonder the intention of the report.
Some Ugandans started running all over the world to seek a solution for Uganda. Unless home based solutions are created, the West will do less to restore peace and enhance economic development. It has not happened anywhere and it is not going to be anywhere until Jesus comes back.
Uganda’s solid  foundation  which was laid by  His Excellency Yoweri Kaguta Museveni after the liberation struggle  is more strong and should be supported by all patriotic Ugandans who know that the country is built by it’s good citizens with homemade solutions.
Uganda’s  democracy is not anywhere on this continent and women representation is  even ahead of some Western countries. The peace and democracy has enabled Uganda to host the highest number of refugees in Africa. Most refugees in Africa prefer hostel  Uganda than any African country.
This is a big sign of peace and democratic governance which the West is trying to dismantle and take charge. Some of  isolated cases which happen even in the most powerful countries in the world  should not make Ugandans worry as the new world order challenges Africa.
When America made   Noise Control Act 1972 and and Quiet Communities Act 1978 was trying to put in order the country and control a  section of people who were becoming unruly  especially the Black Americans.
 Some African countries may put in place  laws to suit with the  situation on  the ground  and this should not warrant the West to challenge them  provided it is done through  right channels.
The speed at which the West moves Africa is terrific and may cause more harm. The time of the Genocide, they needed time to study the situation and American women  to be allowed to vote, the process took  100 years in negotiations.
 Africa has to process some activities and take a position with enough information.
Uganda needs to set strong new regulations to help her enhance economic growth by suppressing paid Western lobbyists to who are here to drail efforts of development with plans to  destroy Uganda  economy through many forums.
Uganda has to publish impressive economic and impressive political achievements and Uganda Media should embrace it and take it beyond boarders using different media houses and social media platforms by challenging negative forces turning the country.
Modern States have moved beyond and friends and families in  recruiting government serious officers and Uganda should take suit in order to get people who are very productive and willing to shape the country.
 Uganda has to bring together most  powerful political actors  for the common good. One of the reasons why president Pombe Magufuli managed to reform  Tanzania, he  destroyed many power factions and  brokers and created one coordination centre in order to monitor one resource pool.
Leaving powerful politicians in the country and  each  pulling  resources to his interest weakens the economy and monitoring becomes a big challenge to the state.
When Magufuli did this the West  got on him. At one time a US based Tanzania social media blogger, was funded to stop Magufuli reshapping Tanzania economy. Mange Kimambe organised demostrations in Tanzania funded by the West. This came as a result of Magufuli tough economic reforms and anti corruption measures where  some Tanzanians had  connived  with the West to cheat the country.
United States, European Union and several  Western embassies in Tanzania  came out boldly to oppose Magufuli but he affirmed his people that soon Tanzania would be the land of honey and milk. He challenged all Western odds and kept focused.
Policies that respect , protect and serve all Ugandans with accountability, transparent  will keep the country on track.  Services  nearer to people should continue to lead in most governance agencies for a better Uganda.
Uganda should be strong enough in order to protect itself from all  challenge today and those to come ahead. Most countries which wait for powerful Nations to support them end in shambles. Some powerful countries like USA took time to plan for their countries and today they can do anything anywhere. America is very strong mainly because of best economy, military science,  technology, big  population and networks connected through their embassies.
US leads the world with embassies and missions across the globe and every country on the planet Earth has an embassy in the USA. US spends 44 billon dollars  on defense and security only far ahead of all Africa total annual budget combined. It has the strongest  intelligence agencies in the world like FBI, CIA, US Navy, US Marine, US Air Force etc.
It is advantaged  to host  organizations which control the world resources like UN agencies, Word Bank and  International Monetary Fund. These make US extremely strong almost in all sectors and some of them facilitate its operations to weaken some countries. It is one of the reasons why most African countries today are shifting to Asian emerging economies like China and India for technology and financial support.
Ugandans in the diaspora have continued to be a challenge to Uganda by discrediting  Uganda  as a failed state and  non democratic without observing human rights. This is done most especially by the opposition which is funded by bad elements and Western powers interested in the fall of Uganda so that they can take advantage. There are those whose work is to send information through all major media platforms,  governments, inter governmental organizations, Non Governmental Organizations and different agencies including leaders.
The serious campaign is going on but still Ugandans and the world believe that Uganda is still better and more safer  with the current leadership.
The NRM winning Uganda North America Association (UNAA), it clearly shows how the party is growing more strong even in the diaspora. The president of UNAA Henrietta Nairuba Wamala is a member of NRM diaspora.
Ugandans should wake up and engage the world through social media platforms and other media agencies about the transformed Uganda. Government media agencies should take lead to keep Uganda image above.
New opportunities in investment, business and trade plus tourism and other opportunities makes Uganda ahead in Sub Sahara Africa and it leads Africa in more sectors.
Ugandans  should keep on supporting the regime headed by President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni for social and economic transformation. Those who are against the NRM leadership will soon join because of it’s services guided by vision 2040.
Ugandans seeking for the Western to provide lasting solutions for Uganda, should seek for the best option not with the West which come with hidden agenda to destroy our nations.
