Later, in an address to the Uganda National Assembly, he reproved colonialism for "having let economic interests prevail over human considerations," and condemned "social situations based on racial discrimination" (an apparent reference to apartheid) as "an affront to the fundamental rights of the human person." On a visit to a poor suburban neighborhood, he declared that "rural Africa must be aided in developing its immense agriculture! possibilities. Local industries must replace the exploitation of raw materials. The African...
