| ASSIST News Service (ANS) - PO Box 609, Lake Forest, CA 92609-0609 USA Tuesday, November 27, 2012 Uganda's president publicly repents for nation's sins Western media criticize country's stance on gay rights  By Mark Ellis Senior Correspondent, ASSIST News Service SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA (ANS) -- There could not be a more stark contrast. As President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda boldly repented of his nation's sins last month, western news media have increasingly denounced Uganda's stance opposing gay rights.
President Museveni celebrated Uganda's 50th anniversary of independence from Britain at a National Jubilee Prayers event last month. During the celebration, he did something very unusual for a national leader: he publicly repented of his personal sins and the sins of the nation. Museveni began his prayer with thanks, then declared his intention to make a firm break with the past: "Father God in heaven, today we stand here as Ugandans, to thank you for Uganda. We are proud that we are Ugandans and Africans. We thank you for all your goodness to us. "I stand here today to close the evil past and especially in the last 50 years of our national leadership history and at the threshold of a new dispensation in the life of this nation. I stand here on my own behalf and on behalf of my predecessors to repent. We ask for your forgiveness," Museveni said. "We confess these sins, which have greatly hampered our national cohesion and delayed our political, social and economic transformation." Next, President Mu seveni got specific in his acknowledgement of sinful activity. "We confess sins of idolatry and witchcraft which are rampant in our land. We confess sins of shedding innocent blood, sins of political hypocrisy, dishonesty, intrigue and betrayal."
