Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni urged Africans to use Swahili language as a way to unify the continent and its emancipation. This he conveyed during his African Integration Day speech recently. Swahili is a neutral language, non-ethnic that belongs to nobody and can be used as the binding force of African unity, he remarked.
The Ugandan ruler is a strong votary of the importance of development of the continent. He said that integrating 1.4 billion people would also lead to integration of several markets, which could consume whatever that is produced in the continent, making it self-supporting. Referring to the atrocities perpetrated to the ancestors through slave trade, he said that was possible because of the weak conditions of the forefathers and lack of organization amongst them.
President Museveni underscored the need for developing strategic security for Africa. Africans could get more capacity while operating together, he added, alluding that under development in the continent was mostly due to lack of unity and togetherness among the Africans.
