Why Ugandans? The article says, “Ugandans guard US military bases, oil fields, airports, highways, towns, water and electricity installations... For this work, they earn US$1000... On the other side, the other nationals doing similar work get US$4000.”<br /><br />Anyway, interesting story... thanks.Yappahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18126433451905766475noreply@blogger.com
