Wod Twon, while at it, what is the volume of Uganda's export to India right now?
Those mothers are dominating textile industries, supplying the whole world with
their monotaneous clothe design. And in Uganda cotton growers can not make a living
on the product?

Let them first talk about buying Ugandan cotton so Ugandan can live gööööd.

That is more urgent than Ugandas Uran.

 Uganda, with uranium, oil and gas, seeks
 India's help
 By Biswajit
 Choudhury
 New Delhi, April 13 (IANS) — Uganda, sitting on a
 "pile of uranium", is seeking India's
 knowhow to develop its reserves and open up new vistas of
 energy cooperation between historically linked countries, a
 visiting Ugandan minister has said.
 Ephraim
 Kwamuntu, Ugandan minister of water and environment, said
 his country was keen on mutually beneficial cooperation with
 India to develop energy resources.
 "Uganda is
 sitting on a pile of uranium, for instance, and Indian
 knowhow would be very useful in accessing this,"
 Kwamuntu told IANS in an interview. "We have uranium,
 oil and gas. Here, India with its knowhow and expertise can
 help," he added.
 Explaining that
 Uganda had to increase manifold its energy generation
 capacity to achieve the status of a middle-income country,
 Kwamuntu said India had a lot to offer in this regard.
 "The sun
 is directly overhead in equatorial Africa, yet in Uganda
 only 14 percent of the population has access to electricity.
 The remaining 86 percent go to bed with sunset. What would
 you expect about this population," the minister asked
 rhetorically.
 Uganda has been
 in talks with India about accessing its uranium reserves and
 for India training its engineers in this area.
 Uganda's planning minister had earlier led a business
 delegation to India that held talks with the Confederation
 of Indian Industry on developing Uganda's uranium
 sector, among others.
 With nuclear
 energy becoming an important source in India's
 potential energy mix, and with its own comparatively modest
 reserves, India has been discussing uranium purchase from
 various African countries.
 On the other
 hand, with Africa emerging as an important supplier of
 uranium, many countries of the continent have shown interest
 in doing business with India. These include South Africa,
 the only African member of the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG)
 and Namibia, which produced 4,000 tonnes of uranium in 2012.
 India has signed a uranium agreement with Namibia as well as
 a protocol in 2011 for supplying the mineral.
 Other
 uranium-rich African countries keen to cooperate with India
 include Tanzania, Malawi, Mali and Niger.
 Kwamuntu explained that there was both the experience and
 the technology aspects to cooperation with India, whose
 technology "is more applicable to our situation than
 the advanced technology of the Americans".
 "We have a lot to learn from India, which is now
 almost a superpower. But we know where it has come from. It
 has come from where we are. So we can learn from your
 experiences about how you transformed a country that was
 also once food insecure," the minister told IANS.
 The use of
 English and similar legal systems were some of the other
 commonalities which facilitated cooperation, he pointed
 out.
 "A number
 of our students come down here to study. Many Ugandans who
 have gone onto leadereship roles have trained in India.
 Prime ministers, ministers, permanent secretaries –
 the whole lot have been students who studied here
 (India)," Kwamuntu said.
 Pointing out
 that Uganda's relations with India go beyond mere
 trade to historical and cultural links, building on which
 Ugandan Indian have established themselves in every sector
 of the economy.
 "In the
 history of Uganda, industrial development started when the
 British (colonists) imported a lot of Indians to come
 construct a railway line from Mombasa port on the Indian
 Ocean, inland. When the railways completed, the Indians
 never went back and went on to become the pillars of
 industry in our country," Kwamuntu said.
 "Madhvanis
 are an Indian company huge in manufacturing and sugar. There
 are a whole range of Patels with a number of investments.
 There are also a lot of Ismailis (followers of the Aga
 Khan)," the minister said of Indian-origin people who
 play a major role in Uganda's economy.
