WHAT DOES MUSEVENI MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Museveni

Yoweri Museveni

Yoweri Kaguta Museveni ( pronunciation (help·info); born 15 August c. 1944) is a Ugandan politician who has been President of Uganda since 29 January 1986. Museveni was involved in rebellions which toppled Ugandan leaders Idi Amin (1971–79) and Milton Obote (1980–85 however, parallels have been drawn between Museveni and its predecessors. For instance, the Public Order Management Bill is strikingly similar to the 1967 Public Order and Security Act, codified by the Obote regime, in that both bills "seek to gag dissenting views." Museveni's statements are also reminiscent of Uganda's dictatorial past: "Whoever tries to cause problems, we finish them. Besigye tried to disorganize Kampala and we gave him a little tear gas and he calmed down. He didn't need a bullet, just a little gas." Further, for someone who said, "The problem of Africa in general and Uganda in particular is not the people but leaders who want to overstay in power," it is quite hypocritical of him to have abolished presidential term limits, culminating in his 27-year presidential tenure. In the mid to late 1990s, Museveni was fêted by the West as part of a new generation of African leaders.
