Ugandans are among the poorest people in the world. Many families in Uganda survive on a single meal a day. Some families of Ugandans stay on verandas because the people with power in Uganda government have evicted them from land. The Capital city of Uganda, Kampala currently is on world record as a city of riots.
At least sections of Ugandans in Kampala and the whole of Uganda at large have to stage a demonstration protesting against what they term as autocratic leadership of president Museveni’s regime.
As if this is not enough, poor Ugandans face to lose millions of shillings in transportation to South Africa to apply for Dutch visas. The Dutch Embassy shifted applications of schengen visas and Dutch passports from its embassy in Kampala to Pretoria, in South Africa.
Many Ugandans have petitioned the offices concerned arguing that the process is too long and expensive to poor Ugandans. Ugandans start applying for Dutch visas in South Africa on March 1st 2012 according to news statement issued last week by Melle Leenstra, the political and public affairs officer at Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
