KAMPALA — Fistfights and chair-throwing broke out in Uganda's parliament on Tuesday ahead of a debate on whether to grant long-serving President Yoweri Museveni another term in office.
The move to extend his rule has met widespread opposition from civic rights activists, the political opposition, religious leaders and even some members of Museveni's own ruling party. He has been in power for more than three decades.
"Please take your seats... Let us speak with our words, not with our fists," Parliament Speaker Rebecca Kadaga said as she tried to calm the enraged lawmakers.
Order was subsequently restored as the House debated other, less contentious subjects.

There actually are a handful. China under Zheng He established a few settlements in eastern Africa.

Funnily enough, Africa is the only continent to have indigenous representatives from all 3 major races.
Caucusoid north of the Sahara (so, technically, We Were Kings)
Negroid south of the Sahara,
And Mongoloid on Madagascar.
Fun fact

So why couldn’t Asians be in Uganda chief?
Idi Amin expelled all Asians in the '70s. And to add insult to injury, he also took all of their shite. Think Hitler and the Jews, except Idi didn't provide transportation to Auschwitz.

I traveled to Kampala a few years ago to meet with President Musevini and a few of their Bishops in an effort to pressure the president into providing the Ugandan people with more transparency within his regime. Essentially the entire country was going weary and suspicious of corruption.
He canceled the meeting the night before due to catastrophic flooding in Kasese.
We were very disappointed. Would have been a pretty cool experience.
