Inside Story!! How Bobi Wine’s NUP Forced Canadian Government To Deport Museveni’s Ambassador To Canada Joy Ruth Acheng – Homosexuality Involved

For over a week, social media has been abuzz with discussions surrounding the Canadian government’s role in forcing Uganda to recall Ambassador Joy Ruth Aceng. With a distinguished eight-year tenure in Ottawa since 2016, Amb.

Aceng has been a steadfast champion of Ugandan interests, leaving an indelible mark on the diplomatic landscape. However, her troubles began when Uganda embarked on enacting the Anti-Homosexuality Act in 2023. The Canadian government summoned Amb. Aceng shortly after the law’s enactment, exerting pressure on her to remain silent on the matter.

Despite this, she continued to speak out, buoyed by the support of Kampala.Her refusal to acquiesce to Canadian demands was further complicated when she alerted the Canadian government to National Unity Platform (NUP) supporters exploiting fake homosexual claims to secure visas. This move enraged NUP supporters, who responded with provocative attacks.

A source within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Kampala revealed that President Yoweri Museveni had sanctioned Amb. Aceng’s transfer to another first-world country due to the deteriorating Uganda-Canada relationship. However, this process was inexplicably delayed.

“Heads are rolling at the Foreign Affairs Ministry after President Museveni demanded explanations for the delay in transferring Amb. Aceng as he had directed,” the source disclosed to Red Pepper.

The NUP stalwarts in Ottawa had previously attempted to disrupt a Diaspora gathering convened by Amb. Aceng to discuss trade and investment. Their efforts were thwarted by Canadian security officials, who had witnessed the clashes. Following this incident, NUP supporters continued to provoke Amb. Aceng, but Kampala remained aware of their strategies.

In a video that went viral on Uganda’s social media, Ms. Acheng is seen furiously shouting at a dozen supporters of a Ugandan opposition party, the National Unity Platform (NUP), on a street in downtown Ottawa, across from Parliament Hill, earlier this month.At one point in the confrontation, she tells the protesters that she will “send for the police to kick you out of here.”

The protesters respond to her: “Do it. This is not Uganda.”

At another point, the protesters tell Ms. Acheng that opposition activists in Uganda are being abducted – a reference to the disappearance and death of a number of activists.

The high commissioner shouts at them: “The problem is that you abduct yourselves. … Stop abducting yourselves, stop killing yourselves.”

The protesters respond to this by bursting into laughter.Ms. Acheng later posted an excerpt from the video on her own social-media account, showing one of her supporters arguing with the protesters, along with a separate video of her marching in the official yellow colours of Uganda’s ruling party.

“We are ready for hooligans and liars, Canada is not your place,” she wrote in another post on the same day.

When NUP supporters were blocked from interrupting a pro-Museveni ceremony in Ottawa, President Museveni reportedly congratulated Amb. Aceng and summoned her for a meeting to devise counter-strategies against radical groups.The Canadian government subsequently demanded Amb. Aceng’s recall after her engagements with the NUP group.

“Her mistake was mainly when she loudly warned NUP to stop abducting themselves and posing as homosexuals to secure a Canadian visa and also openly praising her ruling party and the President,” said a senior Ugandan-Canadian security officer.

Throughout her tenure in Canada, Amb. Aceng prioritized trade, investments, and mobilizing Ugandans in the Diaspora to invest back home. Her additional roles as head of mission in the Bahamas, assigned by President Museveni a few months ago, further underscore her dedication to Ugandan interests.
