Uganda Will Outlaw FGM

Beyond the Veil| In an interesting twist of words, President Yoweri Museveni explainted that Uganda will pass a law banning female genital mutilation, which is rampant among pastoralist tribes in the country’s eastern region.

“The way God made it, there is no part of a human body that is useless,” President Yoweri Museveni told a gathering in the eastern Karamoja district.

“Now you people interfere with God’s work. Some say it is culture. Yes, I support culture but you must support culture that is useful and based on scientific information,” he added.
