Uganda anniversary.
from General Podcast · host Channel Africa
As Uganda marks 58 years of independence today, some citizens say they find little to celebrate in a country with high unemployment, poverty, corruption and political repression, while others believe self-autonomy is worth celebrating regardless. Uganda, known as the 'Pearl of Africa', attained its independence from Britain on October 9, 1962, after many years of British colonial rule. This year's independence day theme is 'Celebrating Uganda's steady progress towards economic take off and self-sustaining economic growth'.
