TRAVEL ADVISORIES - CANADA
MATURE / NON MATURE COUNTRIES.
Canada had banned Ugandans entering or anybody who has been to Uganda until the 28th August but just extended to 28 September.
Of course we can say it’s their country,
their rules! But they won’t do that to mature countries including Kenya in our neighborhood.
Visa and travel advisories are none trade tariff barriers, if I restrict you from traveling, am restricting you from seeing opportunities and taking advantages of them.
For you to survive, you will either borrow or be given AID especially if you are a none mature country like uganda. So no sensible Ugandan should celebrate this.
WHATS A MATURE COUNTRY?
- A mature country has massive international interests in terms of investments.
- The moment say Canada wants to restrict Kenya, Canadians invested in Kenya fight back on behave of Kenya for example.
- Kenya for example hosts many international organizations, hosts over 80 chains of international hotels and those represent international interests, citizen and of those countries have shares on those businesses. Banning Kenya means banning their own interests.
- America will have 43,000 gun related deaths but millions will be fighting for visas to the United States because of interests, people will fight for opportunities regardless.
- Uganda will have 2 foreign people die and most rich countries will black list us for years because they don’t have massive money or investment interests.
- I always give examples of Egypt and Libya which had uprising about the same time and Libya never recovered, Egypt quickly recovered quickly mainly because of interests. Massive international investments in sectors like tourism. Same as Tunisia!
For 47 years, I served my country.
Through war and peace, triumph and loss, I presented myself for duty. I wore the uniform with pride, knowing that behind it was the trust of millions of Ugandans.
Along the way, I lost brothers. I made lifelong friends. I witnessed Uganda change, struggle, and rise. I carry every memory with me.
I retire with a heart full of gratitude.
To the men and women with whom I served, thank you.
To the fallen, I will never forget you.
To my family, thank you for sharing me with the nation.
And to Uganda, thank you for giving me the honour of serving you.
My love for Uganda will never retire.
One final salute.
For God and My Country.
