Washington - President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda sent The Wall Street Journal an impassioned plea for trade from developed nations rather than aid, saying taxpayers in those nations paid twice for development assistance.
Keeping the developed world dependent on handouts, Museveni said in a letter published on Thursday, "is a recipe for permanent poverty".
"The only way we can break out of this vicious cycle is through trade and export-led growth," said the Ugandan president, who on Monday spoke before the UN General Assembly.

I honestly don't know anything about Mr. Museveni but he just got my respect. I sure wish he was the President of the United States instead Slick Bushie.
