Africans must travel to the moon to investigate what developed nations have
been doing in outer space, Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni said on Saturday.

"The Americans have gone to the moon. And the Russians. The Chinese and
Indians will go there soon. Africans are the only ones who are stuck here,"
Museveni said, addressing a meeting of the Uganda Law Society in Entebbe.

"We must also go there and say: 'What are you people doing up here?'."

Museveni urged the assembly of Uganda's top lawyers to support East African
integration, arguing that one of the region's goals should be to develop a
space programme.

"Uganda alone cannot go to the moon. We are too small. But East Africa united
can. That is what East African integration is all about," he said. "Then we
can say to the Americans: 'What are you doing here all
alone?'."

Museveni has vocally campaigned for a common East African economic and
political zone.

Negotiations to establish a tariff free trade zone including Uganda, Kenya,
Tanzania, Burundi and Rwanda have been ongoing for months.

Museveni on Saturday also called for enhanced political integration among the
East African nations, suggesting the region would be strengthened by becoming
one country.
