 KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) - Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni called for national reconciliation Thursday as he mourned a foe he has granted a state funeral, and said the spirit of forgiveness could even extend to notorious dictator Idi Amin.
"We should not squander an opportunity of reconciliation," Museveni said as he stood before of the casket of former President Milton Obote during a special session of parliament. Obote was to be buried Friday.
"May the soul of the late President Milton Obote, who is a longtime member of this parliament, rest in peace," Museveni said.
