Yoweri Kaguta Museveni ( pronunciation ; born 15 September c. 1944) is a Ugandan politician who has been President of Uganda since 29 January 1986.
Museveni was involved in rebellions that toppled Ugandan leaders Idi Amin (1971–79) and Milton Obote (1980–85). With the notable exception of the north, President Museveni has brought relative stability and economic growth to a country that has endured decades of rebel activity and civil war. His tenure has also witnessed one of the most effective national responses to HIV/AIDS in Africa.
In the mid to late 1990s, Museveni was fêted by the West as part of a new generation of African leaders. His presidency has been marred, however, by involvement in civil war in the Democratic Republic of Congo and other Great Lakes region conflicts. Rebellion in the north by the Lord's Resistance Army had perpetuated a drastic humanitarian emergency. Restrictions on political pluralism and a 2005 referendum and constitution change scrapping limits on presidential terms, enabling extension of his rule, have attracted recent concern from domestic commentators and the international community.

When you watch Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni talk it becomes clear that he is a reasonable man that is trying to help his nation and certainly is more carful and caring about protecting his nation's future than US President Barack Obama is. Its is also clear that when considering laws in his country regarding gays he was reasonable in regards to that as well and consulted science for an explanation on the matter and was able to clearly determine the science supporting such claims wasn't there. Gays and their supporters then changed their story and started to argue it was a matter of personal choice and it was their civil right to make this personal choice and President Yoweri Museveni was wise enough to see through these manipulative tactics and lies, and decide the matter accordingl...
Ugandan president Yoweri Kaguta Museveni was on sworn in for his 5th term as president at a ceremony attended by President Uhuru Kenyatta and 15 other African heads of state at the Kololo independence grounds in Kampala. Museveni retained the reigns of power even as the main opposition leader Kizza Besigyye remained in police custody after being arrested for swearing himself in and making a surprise meet the people tour of the capital Kampala.
This is unbelievable. Uganda is still a third world county with poverty and corruption, but president Yoweri Museveni lives like a small god in his own poor country.
