It seems Netanyahu has reached a secret deal with Uganda to supply it with weapons in return for accepting thousands of African asylum seekers that Israel wants to get rid of.
Uganda has been led since 1986 by Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, who overthrew the previous government to assume power. During his long tenure, Museveni invaded the Congo, causing the Second Congo War which led, curiously, to the deaths of around 6 million people (although the exact numbers are disputed). This was the deadliest conflict since World War Two.
Despite this, the Israeli government apparently feels no inhibitions about giving Museveni more weapons. It has agreed to supply the African dictator with armaments if he accepts thousands of African asylum seekers from Israel. Both governments deny that this deal exists but journalists have exposed it.
A leading Ugandan newspaper made a splash this week with the front page headline: “Israel sends 1,400 refugees to Uganda”. The behind-the-scenes deal between Israel, Uganda and Rwanda has been exposed for some time in Israel, but Uganda officially continues to deny its existence. It’s therefore significant that Sunday Vision, a paper owned by the government, has publicized – and legitimized – the story.
The newspaper reported in its September 10 edition that it had interviewed ten refugees who said Israel had promised to resettle them in Uganda, only for them to have been abandoned and harassed by state agents in Kampala.
“We were each promised that we would be given legal status once we landed at Entebbe. My other friends opted for Rwanda. Each one of us was given about $3,500, which they told us was an extra incentive at the departure lounge in Tel Aviv,” Hebreges Tayes told the newspaper.
…The latest intersection concerns an unpublished agreement to facilitate the deportation of African asylum seekers and refugees in Israel to “third countries” – namely, Uganda and Rwanda. Israel’s estimated 38,000 asylum seekers are mostly from Eritrea and Sudan. Fleeing repression, they faced rape, torture and blackmail on their trek through the Sinai to Israel’s southern border.
Persistent reports suggest that Kampala and Kigali are getting Israeli weapons, military training and other forms of aid in return, but just like their counterparts in Jerusalem, officials in both countries refuse to talk about any quid pro quo refugees-for-arms deal.
However, with NGOs and human rights activists going to court in Israel, which recently ruled that the deportations can go ahead but deportees who resist can’t be held in detention for more than two months, the Israeli authorities have owned up more fully.
It took the lifting of a gag order in 2013 to first reveal the agreement in Israel. Rwanda acknowledged it in 2015 including the multi-million dollar monetary compensation involved.
But no such transparency exists in Uganda, so the government remains adamant there’s no such agreement. Since Sunday’s Vision expose, there has still not been an official government response.
