It is unfortunate that some individuals forget all about the offices they represent and carelessly utter out word that make majority doubt their positions. Consider this article sourced from Aljazeera http://stream.aljazeera.com/story/ugandaisnotspain-0022234 Spain's Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy has provoked online outrage from Ugandans after allegations emerged that he compared his country's economic state to that of Uganda's in a text message to his finance minister. As the finance minister headed into bailout negotiations with eurozone officials, Rajoy reportedly texted: "We're the number four power in Europe, Spain is not Uganda", in an effort to encourage him to stay strong in securing a bailout package. The comment sparked a flurry of tweets from Ugandans who saw the remarks as offensive. Spain's El Mundo newspaper picked up the story, running with the quote "Spain is not Uganda" in its headline. Good that some Ugandans started on the process of getting hell out of Prime Minister Mariano's head as you can check on a list of tweets already posted https://twitter.com/#!/search/realtime/%23UgandaIsNotSpain So, if you have tweeter, facebook, email or any other social media platform you are signed up on just remind Mr. Mariano that the WORD Uganda is attached to over 30M people and he should respect her whenever makes mention of.
