President Museveni met with Vice President Alupo and Paramount Chief Emolot to discuss hosting the Ateker cultural festival in Uganda. The festival brings together communities from Uganda, Kenya, South Sudan, Ethiopia, and Tanzania.
Museveni promised to support the event and encouraged unity and socio-economic transformation among the Ateker people. He also cautioned against tribal wars, cattle rustling, and nomadism, which hinder development. The festival is scheduled for November 27-29, 2024, at Soroti Sports Grounds.
