Talk:Yoweri Museveni

message: Hello there, I had not taken a look at the Museveni page for several weeks because I was despairing of the typically naive way the western world and its people view Africa.
In reading the latest version of the Museveni Wikipedia account, I notice that you have listed many of the latest developments in Uganda and clearly Museveni is no longer being viewed by the West in quite the lofty terms we took for granted in the 1990s.
All of which leads me to ask why the photo caption right at the beginning of the article on him still makes mention of him being a "new breed"of African leaders, long after this has become embarassingly inaccurate and his thirst for power are now apparent to all.

replies: text: Hi Bamboo, I'm glad you find this version more NPOV.  TreveX has been doing A LOT of work on it recently. Regarding the photo caption, not that the "new generation" links to the article New generation of African leaders, which is not very complimentary. Regards, BanyanTree 13:49, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Hope this caption is a little more to everyone's liking? I think the past-tense nature of this perspective comes accross more strongly now. TreveXtalk 23:20, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  A re-assessment of Museveni 

message: Hello there, this is Bamboo.
I see that you are moving to confirming the Museveni article as a complete document, thoroughly researched and complete. How unfortunate!
In a few weeks' time, thais page on Museveni will make a laughing stock of Wikipedia because the Ugandan public has obtained a copy of a document on Museveni that sets him out in full relief. 
You might want to look at it before you certify the page. Please send me an e-mail to get a copy of it. The address is: june132600@yahoo.com
I assure you, you will appreciate the information.
Many thanks.  Contribution by User:Bamboo

thread_title:  Bamboo 

message: "Preceding the Rwandan Genocide, the new Rwandan government felt threatened by the presence (across the Rwandan border in Congo - known then as Zaïre) of former Rwandan soldiers (including Banyamulenge rebels) and members of the previous regime. These soldiers were aided by Mobutu Sese Seko – leading Rwanda (with the aid of Museveni) and Laurent Kabila's rebels to subsequently take power in Congo."
This paragraph is confusing. Wouldn't the "new Rwandan government" be after the Rwandan Genocide? I was going to change "preceding" to "after", but wasn't sure which Rwandan government was being referred to. If the Rwandese Patriotic Front was meant, they wouldn't be fighting the Banyamulenge, who were their allies.170.140.74.93 06:01, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

message: There was an article recently in the Economist which argued that the Ugandan response to HIV/AIDs wasn't as good as had been thought; that in fact one the primary reasons for the decrease in infection rates/number of infected was simply that those infected have been dying in large numbers.

thread_title: Uganda to pay?

message: :This a great article but I believe more should be written to emphasize the erosion of democratic space under Museveni in the past couple of years especially when it comes to his mistreatment of Opposition Leaders like Kizza Besigye, who are jailed on what International observers  have termed to be frivolous grounds --Falconsgladiator 05:06, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  More Info about mistreatments of Opposition Leader 

message: The article doesn't explicitely state that the constitution was ever changed to allow a third presidential term, though it is indicated indirectly throught the citation of the Norwegian ambassador. The movement for the amendment is described, but not the fact that it actually happened. Also: How did it change? Was the limitation of presidential terms removed or simply extended to three terms? When?  This part of the article is a bit foggy... --V79 01:04, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

message: This section has been deleted repeatedly, with comments to the effect that "LGBT rights are irrelevant in the Republic of Uganda". It appears well-sourced and neutral. I have no opinion of whether this topic is relevant to this biography. Does anyone think it belongs here, should be moved to LGBT rights in Uganda, or should be deleted?  ·:· Will Beback  ·:· 20:49, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't there be a date of birth for Museveni. I remember there being one before, so should we put it back? Bibbly Bob (talk) 20:28, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Date of Birth

message: I've applied semi-protection to the article for the time being. The article is getting various POV, anti-Museveni edits from anon IPs that aren't being reverted. Until just now, the introduction had called Museveni a "military dictator" since 8 February—nearly a month! I hope someone will watch the article more vigilantly. Everyking (talk) 04:06, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Semi-protection

message: The article says Museveni became an "unreconstructed Marxist" in the 1960's. This is linked to a page that says the term means: "Marxists  who do not accommodate themselves to the view that the Cold War  was lost by the former Soviet Union". This is self contradictory, as the the cold war was certainly very much undecided at the time, so there would be little challenge to become a "reconstructed" Marxist. I actually think the term is just meaningless abuse. The term "Marxist" is being used as a synonym for "Stalinist", which is absurd. The article needs a much clearer and properly-referenced account of his political ideas, which have presumably evolved over the decades.Sjwells53 (talk) 11:12, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Ideology?

message: Museveni ... Being a Tutsi himself he played a key role in ensuring that his brothers and sisters find solace at home
Does anyone know where this came from?  Earlier in the article he is said to be a member of the Banyankole ethnic group.
Is there a direct connection between Tutsi and Banyankole or is this just because the Bahima (vs. Bairu) in Ankole have a similar historical social position to the Tutsi (vs Hutu)?  There seems to be an attempt here to class Museveni as an outsider.
Either way this statement needs clarification! ☸ Moilleadóir ☎ 06:04, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tutsi? 

message: Several sections of this article have source tags that have been in place for three years. At some point, if something isn't done to correct this issue, I will start removing unsourced material. There are also sourcing problems with material in other sections - they're just not tagged.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:12, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lack of sourcing 

message: Apparently this article was once featured, but today, it looks completely awful. It reads like an attack essay written by a middle schooler. Objectivity, proper use of citations and links, and even simply writing style need lots of work.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.47.24.2 (talk) 15:51, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
