In an effort to end Iran’s isolation, the Iranian president, Ebrahim Raisi, visited Uganda on Wednesday.
In his address, Raisi attacked western countries, alleging that they support homosexuality.
“Having the culture of establishing and forming a family and at the same time the culture of “genuineness” is another common point between Iran and Uganda. We pay great attention to the issue of establishing families and we believe that it is a fundamental principle. The West is today trying to promote the idea of homosexuality and of course by homosexuality they are trying to end the generation of human beings and at the same time they are acting against the inherence and the nature of human beings I believe that this issue and these strong attacks by the West against the establishment of families and against the culture of the nations is another area of cooperation for Iran and Uganda”, said Ebrahim Raisi, President of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
To great worldwide outcry, Uganda recently approved anti-gay laws.
As the nation continues to be subject to severe US economic sanctions, the visit by an Iranian leader to Africa is the first in more than ten years.
