Kabalega International Airport also called Hoima International Airport is Uganda’s second international airport after Entebbe. Its construction began in 2018 as part of infrastructure for the oil industry in the Albertine Graben, the planned Uganda Oil Refinery, and the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP). It is also intended to support tourism and agriculture in western Uganda.
“When I came here and heard Pastor Kayanja talking about African integration, I said, ‘Praise the Lord,’ because we have already started the AfCFTA,” Museveni noted.
The President also recalled the close cooperation between Uganda and Tanzania, citing trade, the East African Crude Oil Pipeline, the Murongo-Kyikagate mini-hydro project, roads in Tanzania, the Masaka-Bukoba transmission line and the Standard Gauge Railway, which has reached Isaka and is expected to extend towards Uganda and beyond.
Amnesty International has called for an independent investigation into the deaths during post-election protests in Tanzania.
