“When you look at South Sudanese, they are not black they are actually blue,” Museveni said.

Reacting to the comments, Presidential Press Secretary Ateny Wek Ateny said he is not happy with the comments made by the Ugandan leader asking for explanations.

“President Yoweri Museveni himself knows that there are only the white, the Asian, and the black people. We never heard of blue people. President Museveni has to explain to the world,” Ateny was quoted by the Eye radio as saying.

    1. Museveny is already mad because he is using witchcrafts by calling South Sudanese blue since his eyes are looking at people in different eyes since he is not using his eyes it is of a satanic one. our president should as a Hayne ruling Uganda.
    2. since Museveny had stolen the Uganda election from Bobi Wine he had become mad, stupid and confused by calling South Sudanese as blue not black, while that is the end have come to Yuwere Museveny.
