President Museveni Reaffirms Uganda’s Commitment to Pan-Africanism and Religious Tolerance

In a heartwarming display of interfaith harmony, President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni met with senior leaders of the Orthodox Church in Uganda at State Lodge Nakasero. The meeting marked a significant milestone – the Church’s 25 years of service in Uganda. During this time, the Church has made meaningful contributions to Ugandan society, fostering spiritual growth, education, and community development.

The Church delegation, led by Ambassador Etsegenet Bezabih Yimenu of Ethiopia, expressed their deep gratitude to President Museveni for fostering an environment of freedom and support. They reaffirmed their commitment to promoting peace, unity, and community service, values that align with the Church’s mission and Uganda’s national goals.

President Museveni’s words resonated with the spirit of Pan-Africanism: “Our policy is Pan-Africanism. Any African who comes here to live or work is welcome. We believe in the oneness of the African people—economically, socially, and, in some cases, even politically. We are always looking for integration in Africa.” He also emphasized the importance of respecting Uganda’s laws and contributing positively to society, highlighting the role that religious institutions play in shaping the moral fabric of the nation.

A key takeaway from the meeting was the President’s call for peaceful coexistence among faiths. “This is your home unless you break the law,” he said. “What we do not accept is conflict between religions. You cannot pretend to be working for God while fighting other religions. That’s unacceptable.”

The meeting concluded on a note of mutual appreciation, with both sides committed to strengthening bonds between communities and faiths. This encounter showcases Uganda’s dedication to unity, cooperation, and development, serving as a model for interfaith collaboration and nation-building.
