President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has pledged to initiate a global discourse on justice and shared prosperity to address persistent conflicts and inequality. He made the remarks at a State Iftar Dinner at State House Entebbe, emphasizing that conflicts are driven by chauvinistic tendencies and divisive politics.
As Chairperson of the Non-Aligned Movement, Museveni stressed that the world should strive for justice, peace, and global affluence through politics based on common interests. He called for a peaceful resolution to tensions in the Middle East and reiterated support for a two-state solution between Israel and Palestine.
Museveni encouraged Uganda’s Muslim community to promote unity and engage in wealth creation to support socio-economic transformation. Vice President Jessica Alupo urged Muslims to embrace peace, unity, and reconciliation during Ramadan.
The Mufti of Uganda, Sheikh Shaban Ramadhan Mubajje, urged the government to expedite the Khadi Courts Bill to facilitate arbitration of family and Islamic matters. The State Iftar Dinner brought together religious leaders, government officials, and Muslims to reflect on faith, unity, and national development.
