Uganda praised the United States for including the Ugandan rebel Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) and Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) on its blacklist of international terrorist organisations, the New Vision newspaper reported.
The Ugandan government in October tabled in parliament the 'Suppression of Terrorism Bill' which, if passed, would impose the death sentence on those committed of acts of terrorism, or any person found to be supporting terrorism either logistically or financially.
Some Ugandan members of parliament, however, have expressed reservations over the Bill, saying that proposed laws contained within it could be used by the government to suppress legitimate political opposition.
