Ugandas Ambassade

Firmabeskrivelse

Like no other country, Uganda represents the changing faces of recent African history. Behind the people´s optimism and the country´s beauties lie the horrors and ruins of a dark and gloomy past. However, during the colonialtimes and the first few years of its independence, Uganda was the British´s favourite colony, and everybodypredicted the country a glogius future - it was the yound Winston Churchill in his book " My African Journey", published in 1908, who created the famous line that Uganda was " The Pearl of Africa "
The fertile Plateau, stretching over two-thirds of the country, promised not only food in plenty, but also opulent harvests of coffee, tea and cotton. A well developped infrastructure and outstanding health and educational services were provided. It seemed that the traditions of the powerful Bantu-Kingdoms of the 19th century would be continued in a wealthy and self-conscious Uganda. But the favourite son got onto the wrong tracks, and the fault was not only his.
