Rebels condemned at African summit
A second news item from ABC Australia thanks to Dumbledore's Army
Ugandan president Yoweri Museveni has opened an African Union meeting by condemning Somalia's al Shabaab rebels. Jihadis would be a better description, but lets not quible when his solution is sound.
The summit is being held in the Ugandan capital of Kampala, where a twin suicide attack killed 76 soccer fans watching the World Cup final on television earlier this month.
President Museveni said the al Qaeda-linked group are cowards and should be driven off the continent.
"I am glad the whole of Africa has condemned it, let us now act in concert and shoot them out of Africa, let them go back to Asia and the Middle East, where I understand many of them come from." he said.
As Dumbledore's Army said his perception of Islamic jihadists as alien invaders in Africa is entirely accurate.
