Obama admin. cancels regional military exercise due to Uganda's gay sex laws

Washington Times - 2 hours ago
By Douglas Ernst - The Washington Times Thursday, June 19, 2014


The Obama administration canceled a regional military exercise in
Uganda on Thursday due to the country's gay sex laws. The African
nation implemented a bill in February that makes gay sex an offense
that could land individuals a life sentence in prison.

"The idea is to send a signal to perpetrators and would-be
perpetrators that we are indeed monitoring, that we are indeed
prepared to take measures, and that there are consequences," a senior
administration official told Reuters Thursday. The White House
specifically wants to target those responsible for abuses connected
with the anti-gay laws' implementation.

When the bill was signed in February, Ugandan President Yoweri
Museveni blasted the United States for saying the law would complicate
its relationship with the country.

"We Africans never seek to impose our view on others," Mr. Museveni
said, the Associated Press reported. "If only they could let us alone.
We have been disappointed for a long time by the conduct of the West.
There is now an attempt at social imperialism."

In addition to the canceled military exercises, the U.S. also imposed
visa restrictions on individuals and cut funding for a Ugandan police
program, Retuers reported.
