Following the announcement of visa restrictions imposed by the US on Uganda government officials over “undermining democracy” during the recent electoral process, Minister of Foreign Affairs in charge of International Affairs, Oryem Henry Okello has called upon the US government to respect Uganda’s sovereignty.

Oryem says that Uganda enjoys valid cordial diplomatic relationship with the US but they were shocked that the US ambassadors didn’t inform government about the sanctions as they only found it in the media.

The US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in the statement that Uganda government’s actions represent a downward trajectory for democracy and respect for human rights as opposition candidates are routinely harassed, arrested, and held illegally without charge.
