Three EU nations cut Uganda aid over anti-gay law

Uganda was hit with a massive reduction in aid after the president enacted a severe anti-gay measure over which some Western governments had warned of consequences.
At least three European countries are withdrawing millions in direct support to Uganda's government, which depends on donors for about 20% of its budget.
The Dutch government said in a statement seen on Thursday that it is suspending aid to Uganda's government but will continue supporting nongovernmental groups, joining the governments of Norway and Denmark in taking such action.
Norway is withdrawing at least $8-million but will increase its support to human rights and democracy defenders, while Denmark is restructuring aid programmes worth $8.64-million away from the Ugandan government and over to private actors and civic groups.
Jim Mugunga, a spokesperson for Uganda's Finance Ministry, said the government is waiting for official communication of the aid cuts.
Apartheid
Washington has also signaled it could cut aid to Uganda over an anti-gay measure the White House described as "abhorrent."
US Secretary of State John Kerry on Wednesday compared the law to oppressive government crackdowns on German Jews in the 1930s and black South Africans during apartheid, saying he was going to direct American ambassadors to look at "how we deal with this human rights challenge on a global basis."
Ugandan officials have been reacting with scorn, saying that Western governments can keep their money.
Uganda's president on Wednesday told African leaders attending a summit in the Congolese capital of Kinshasa that although the matter of gay rights is "dear" to the West, "even the homosexuals need electricity".
President Yoweri Museveni enacted the Bill on Monday, drawing widespread condemnation from the United Nations, rights watchdog groups, as well as some of the east African country's development partners.
In signing the Bill, Museveni said he wanted to deter Western groups from promoting homosexuality in Africa.
The anti-gay law is widely popular in Uganda, and some analysts believe Museveni's enactment of the Bill boosts his popularity ahead of presidential elections in 2016.
Donor support
Ofwono Opondo, a spokesperson for Uganda's government, said on Thursday that the aid cuts show Ugandans "that the world does not owe them a living".
"It's actually a trap for dependence," he said, talking about donor support.
"It's actually good that they removed the aid, so that we can live within the means we have."
Uganda's new anti-gay law calls for life imprisonment for those convicted of engaging in gay sex.
It also creates the offences of "conspiracy to commit homosexuality" and "aiding and abetting homosexuality," both of which are punishable by seven years behind bars.
Those convicted of "promoting homosexuality" face similar punishment. – Sapa-AP

Police in Kenya are hunting a murder suspect after a Liverpool supporter was stabbed to death following the Arsenal-Liverpool match on Saturday.
The man taunted a rival fan about his team's 5-1 victory after they had watched the match together in a bar in the town of Meru, residents say.
They say the Arsenal fan then pulled out a knife and stabbed the man, who died in hospital.
Many Kenyans are fanatical followers of English football.
The BBC's Angela Ngendo in the capital Nairobi says bars and video dens, where people pay to watch TV in slum areas, are usually crowded for the big matches, no matter what local time they are played.
Supporters wear replica kits - both fakes and original ones, despite their high cost - to watch the games, she says.
During the matches, fans bet on the outcomes and often heckle each other, leading to fights.
Our correspondent says this is not the first time that rival Kenyan fans have stabbed each other - it has happened over both English games and those in the local league.
Last year, a Manchester United fan killed himself after his team lost to Newcastle United.
In 2009, an Arsenal fan hanged himself after his team lost to Manchester United.
Meru police chief Tom Odero told the BBC that he could not comment on a possible motive for the latest death as the suspect had not been apprehended.
